Objectives (1) To assess the risk of haematological malignancies in individuals with systemic sclerosis (SSc) compared with individuals without SSc; (2) to explore how the risk varies across groups stratified by sex and age; and (3) to determine when these malignancies present in relation to SSc diagnosis in a population-based setting. Methods We performed a nationwide cohort study using high-qual
Bakgrund: Ett mått på följsamhet till paleolitisk kost som inte baseras på populationsrelativa intag av livsmedelsgrupper har hittills saknats. Syftet med denna avhandling var att utvärdera användbarheten av Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF), ett nytt mått på följsamhet till paleolitisk kost, beräknat som andelen av det totala intaget av livsmedelsgrupper som utgörs av paleolitiska livsmedelsgrupperAbstract: Background: A measure of adherence to the Paleolithic diet not based on population-relative food group intakes was lacking. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the usefulness of the Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF), a novel measure of adherence to the Paleolithic diet, calculated as the fraction of total food group intake derived from Paleolithic food groups. Methods: PDF was calculate
Background: This study aimed to assess chlamydia diagnostics in different clinic types, including internet-based self-sampling (IBSS). Furthermore, we investigated the incidence of chlamydia-associated complications. Methods: Data on Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) testing were retrieved from six healthcare regions in the years 2016–2023 across different categories of testing facilities. National data
This paper analyses the evolution of material living standards in three Swedish, before 1658 Danish, towns (Malmö, Ystad and Falkenberg) of varying size from the late 1500s to the advent of industrialization in the 1860s. We use population registers and church books, but above all a new dataset of 1381 probate inventories for the time periods 1570–1599, 1670–1720, the 1780s, and the 1860s. Based o
Ett växande antal studier rapporterar ett samband mellan minne och lukter. Den här studien ämnade identifiera effekter av samma och olika lukter vid inlärning och återkallande av minne samt undersöka skillnaden mellan goda och inte goda lukter. En så kallad old / new recognition task användes som minnestest där deltagarna (N = 32) tränade in 20 ord i testets första fas, för att sedan i en andra faA growing number of studies report relations between memory and smell. The present study aimed to identify differential effects of same and different smells on word learning and recognition memory, in addition to investigate the difference between pleasant and unpleasant smells. An old / new recognition task was used as a memory test, whereby participants (N = 32) studied 20 words in the first pha
The purpose of our master thesis is to locate and find a mathematical model of the road surface from data obtained using LiDAR measure- ments. A LiDAR is an optical instrument that generates a point cloud of its surroundings by measuring distance and intensity. Some LiDARs also generate additional metrics, but for our road model only the distance will be used. However, we will discuss how the inte
Den här studien syftar till att undersöka sambandet mellan faktorerna Locus of Control (LOC), förväntningar på framtiden och subjektivt välbefinnande. Tidigare forskning har visat på att intern LOC korrelerar med högt välbefinnande och extern LOC korrelerar med lågt välbefinnande. När det kommer till att säga vilka slags förväntningar, det vill säga höga eller låga, som en person mår bäst av att hThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the variables Locus of Control (LOC), expectations on the future and subjective well being (SWB). Previous research suggest that internal LOC correlates with high SWB and that external LOC correlates with low SWB. When it comes to the determining if high or low expectations are most profitable for ones SWB, previous research is divid
En av de mest grundläggande principerna inom aktiebolagsrätten och en stark bidragande faktor till dess popularitet återfinns i 1 kap. 3 § ABL, dvs. aktieägare är som huvudregel inte personligt ansvariga för bolagets förpliktelser. Till varje huvudregel finns undantag och så även här. I Sverige har det diskuterats om aktieägare trotsallt ska kunna hållas ansvariga för bolagets förpliktelser genom One of the most fundamental principles of company law and a strong contributing factor to its popularity can be found in chapter 1. article 3 in the Swedish Companies Act, i.e. shareholders, as a general principle, are not personally responsibility for the debts or actions of a corporation. To every general principle exists exceptions, which applies here as well. In Sweden, the question has been r
This thesis examines the occupational mobility of a sample of immigrants who arrived in Sweden between 1971 and 1985. The data includes information on pre-immigration occupation and on up to four occupations in Sweden. The empirical analysis supports a U-shaped pattern of occupational mobility from home country to host country which is in line with the theory of imperfect transferability of skills
Synnerligen grov misshandel är en brottstyp som introducerades i svensk straffrätt år 2010, detta efter att regeringen uttryckt att straffskärpningar behövdes då man inte ansåg att de utdömda straffen var proportionerliga i förhållande till brottets allvar. Flertalet fall har sedermera hamnat i HD och hovrätterna och en praxis har skapats kring vad brottet innebär. Stort fokus läggs på hänsynslöshExceptional aggravated assault is a crime which was introduced to Swedish criminal law in 2010. The reason behind this was the fact that the Swedish government believed that harsher punishments were needed due to the fact that they were not proportional in comparison to the seriousness of the crime. Regarding what is to be considered as exceptional aggravated assault, the courts tend to focus on t
Research question: How does organizational culture, using complex adaptive systems perspective, influence problem creation process in the front end of innovation? Theoretical perspectives: Front end of innovation literature is the core subject of this thesis,focusing on problem creation process. Academic literature on organizational culture and complex adaptive systems is presented to show the re
Lignin accounts for 15 – 30 % of plant biomass, but is till today remarkably underutilized, mainly due to its heterogeneity and recalcitrance towards depolymerization. The bacterial conversion of lignin into value added chemicals is a highly promising approach to overcome this underutilization and can help to improve the economic competitiveness of the biorefinery concept. In the current study, 1
Älvar och vattendrag i Västra Sverige utsätts för konstant erosion när ytvattnet från sjöar och mark tappas ut i havet. Den geologiska sammansättningen i älvarna under högsta kustlinjen består av glaciala och postglaciala finkorniga sediment som är avsatta i marin miljö. De känsliga lerlagrens struktur har efter urlakning blivit mer instabila och vid störning kan utlösa skred. Effekten av klimatföRivers and streams in Western Sweden are exposed to constant erosion when surface water from lakes and land discharge into the sea. The geological composition of the rivers under the highest coastline consists of glacial and postglacial fine-grained sediments deposited in marine environments. The leakage of the sensitive clay layers has become more unstable after leaching and, in the event of a di
