BACKGROUND: Those who die by suicide and suffer from depression are known to have made more suicide attempts during their life-span as compared to other people with depression. A behavioural sensitisation or kindling model has been proposed for suicidal behaviour, in accordance with a sensitisation model of depressive episodes. The aim of the present study was to test such a model by investigating

This paper presents a study of supported lipid bilayer (SIB) formation and subsequent protein binding using a sensor that combines localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) monitoring. The LSPR activity arises from silicon oxide (SiOx) coated nanometric apertures in a thin gold film, which also serves as the active electrode of a QCM-D crys

Measurements of jet cross-section ratios between inclusive bins of jet multiplicity are performed in Formula Presented of proton-proton collisions with Formula Presented center-of-mass energy, recorded with the ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. These ratios are constructed from double-differential cross-section measurements that are made in bins of jet multiplicity and other observab

Mechanisms of the aerosol indirect effects (AIEs) from ice nucleating particles (INPs) are investigated with the cloud-resolving “aerosol–cloud” (AC) model with a hybrid bin–bulk microphysics scheme coupled with a radiation scheme in 1) continental deep convection observed during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) over Oklahoma and 2) supercooled stratiform clouds obse

Background Nurses constitute a central profession in the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) team delivering comprehensive CR to individuals with cardiovascular disease. We aimed to identify specific components reflecting the nurses' role in the CR team associated with attainment of risk factor targets post myocardial infarction. Methods Center-level data (n = 78) was used from the Perfect-CR study, in wh

Scholarship in the last decades has increasingly paid attention to the rhetoric of race and peoplehood in early Christian literature. It has been shown how the construction of Christian identity took place through ethnic reasoning, with writers using metaphors of parenthood, kinship, homeland and descent to express what it meant to be a Christian. These studies have typically focused on pre-Consta

Innan ett företagsförvärv genomförs bör en noggrann företagsbesiktning av det aktuella målbolaget utföras. Processen brukar benämnas due diligence och den utförs vanligen av biträdande jurister på affärsjuridiska byråer. Syftet med en due diligence är att köparen ska få tillräcklig kunskap om köpeobjektet så att risker kan fördelas mellan köpare och säljare i överlåtelseavtalet. Den juridiska aspe

In the last decades of museum policies and practices, the work concerning museum collections has increasingly also become a matter of accessibility for museum visitors. One manifestation of this is to make collections available digitally, but at the same time, many museums also make their collections available physically in the form of visible storage. The latter poses increased risks of damage to

The wave of protests in the Middle East, that started in Tunisia at the end of 2010 and brought about President Ben Ali’s removal from power took the world by storm. The aim of this thesis is to examine the role of the coercive apparatus in the outcome of the uprising, by examining the factors that affected its will and capacity to repress popular mobilisation. The four factors outlined as affecti

A long-standing question in evolutionary biology is how historical biogeographic processes have shaped the current diversity of organisms, especially for highly diverse groups. We study the diversification dynamics and biogeographic processes of one of the most diverse families of Lepidoptera, Geometridae, with over 24,000 described species and a worldwide distribution. Despite the cosmopolitan di

The budget calculation shows the direct and indirect costs of the project. Depending on the funder, the project may need to be co-funded with direct government funding from the department.The budget calculation shows the amount required to ensure full cost coverage of t

PURPOSE: Proactive management of type 2 diabetes is important for restoring beta-cell function and improving sustained blood glucose control. Evidence on quality of diabetes care in Ethiopia is inadequate.METHOD: Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess level of quality of care provided to adult type 2 diabetes patients at three public hospitals in Gamo Gofa Zone, Southern Ethi

Introduction: Social media provides nurses with tools to share information, debate healthcare policy and practice issues, and engage in interpersonal interactions. Historically, also in Scandinavia, nurses’ trade unions have taken the lead in defining nursing as a profession and supporting nurses in ‘conducting good nursing’. However, it is unexplored how trade unions guide nurses in social media

Rate-ratio asymptotic (RRA) analysis is carried out to elucidate the influence of carbon monoxide on the structure and critical conditions of extinction of nonpremixed methane flames. Steady, axisymmetric, laminar flow of two counterflowing streams toward a stagnation plane is considered. One stream, called the fuel stream is made up of a mixture of methane (CH4) and nitrogen (N2). The other strea

Introduction The relationship between the right to freedom of expression and the prevention of terrorism is particularly fraught. On the one hand, in climates and contexts where there is a heightened risk of terrorist activities being perpetrated, States' authorities often argue that it is necessary to restrict freedom of expression. The reasons presented vary from the need to criminalize inciteme

Aim: The preoperative stage of rectal cancer is an important prognostic factor affecting treatment recommendations. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for clinical staging to identify patients who should be recommended for neoadjuvant oncological treatment. The aim of this work was to investigate the accuracy of the preoperative T- and N-stage and also involvement of the mesorecta

1. Lesions of the cerebellar cortex can abolish classically conditioned eyeblink responses, but some recovery with retraining has been observed. It has been suggested that the recovered responses are generated by the intact contralateral cerebellar hemisphere. In order to investigate this suggestion, bilaterally acquired conditioned responses were studied after the unilateral blockade of cerebella

This paper examines the role communication strategies play in the maintenance of communication in a classroom. The effect these strategies may have on the acquisition of a language is also discussed. There is often a lack of communication in a Swedish foreign language classroom which leads to the inability to communicate in a native-like way even after several years of learning the language. This

Background: Persons on the autism spectrum exhibit poorer body awareness than neurotypical persons. Since movement quality may be regarded as an expression of body awareness, assessment of movement quality is important. Sound assessments of measurement properties are essential if reliable decisions about body awareness interventions for persons on the autism spectrum are to be made, but there is i
