Background: Opioid substitution treatment (OST) with methadone or buprenorphine is the most effective means of treating opioid dependence. If these substances are used by people who are not undergoing OST, they can however carry serious risks. This article examines the lifetime prevalence, motives, and drug sources for such use, as well as geographical differences in these variables. Methods: Stru

Aims Methadone and buprenorphine diversion by patients in opioid substitution treatment (OST) is a poorly understood phenomenon. We study the norms and attitudes on diversion among OST patients, including the role these norms and attitudes play as diversion risk factors. We also study whether perceived quality of care, social bonds to treatment staff, and deterrence can be associated with diversio

Syfte & mål: Syftet med detta examensarbete är att få en bättre förståelse för adaptiv återanvändning av kulturhistoriska byggnader och återbruk av byggmaterial inom byggbranschen, samt hur några vanliga utmaningar kopplat till detta kan hanteras. Målet med examensarbetet är att genom en fallstudie av Gjuteriet undersöka hur adaptiv återanvändning av kulturhistoriska byggnader och återbruk a

Background: Viral infections, including COVID-19, are associated with an increased risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D), but potential underlying mechanisms remain unexplored. We evaluated whether COVID-19 or influenza A infection is characterized by differential DNA methylation at immune and T1D susceptibility genes in young children at risk for T1D. Methods: Epigenome-wide association analysis using t

Ung och skuldtyngd ger en djupgående inblick i upplevelsen av att som ung vuxen leva med skuldsättningsproblem - överskuldsättning - i dagens moderna konsumtions- och kreditsamhälle. Under två års tid har forskarna genom upprepade etnografiska intervjuer följt 18 personer mellan 18 och 25 år som är överskuldsatta. Resultaten besvarar frågor som: Hur kommer det sig att unga personer får problem med

Gross primary production (GPP) of the vegetation is the largest carbon exchange process of the global carbon cycle. Currently, within satellite-based remote sensing, GPP is generally modelled using linear light use efficiency models where GPP is related to photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the green vegetation (APAR). These models work well on moderate to low spatiotemporal averaging

The increased demand, driven by a growing population and changing dietary habits, has created immense pressure on agroecosystems throughout the globe. In semi-arid areas, this increased pressure has led to excessive use of agrochemicals in agriculture, which poses a threat of potentially toxic metal (PTM) contamination in agricultural soils. PTMs in agricultural soils result in significant environ

Den här uppsatsen fokuserar på folksånger från Epirus som handlar om xenitia. Ordet xenitia innebär exil eller migration till en främmande plats och det främmandeskap som upplevs på den nya platsen. Epirus är en geografisk region i västra Grekland och anses vara födelseplatsen för folksången. Epirus var förslavad under det osmanska riket i över fyrahundra år och invånarna i regionen tvingades ofta

Studien syftade till att undersöka hur frikända personers medvetenhet förstås i domstolens motivering till att medvetenhetskravet inte är uppfyllt, hur dessa aspekter förhåller sig till psykologisk förståelse av förändrade medvetandetillstånd samt jämföra hur informationen som ligger till grund för rättsliga motiveringar förhåller sig till den rättspsykiatriska bedömningen. Studiens genomfördes i The aim of the study was to investigate how Swedish courts perceive the consciousness of acquitted individuals whose grounds for acquittal were lack of consciousness, and how such perceptions relate to psychological understandings of altered states of consciousness. Another aim was to explore how the information that forms the basis for the courts' reasoning corresponds with the content of the

More than 21 million tons of cheese whey are produced annually worldwide, posing an environmental risk if not properly managed. Due to widespread lactose intolerance, cheese whey, which contains lactose, can pose health problems for many individuals. Thus, the management of the cheese whey is necessary to avoid environmental and health problems. This study presents a sustainable approach for whey

En rad internetbaserade tjänster finansieras idag genom att samla in data om sina användare för att sedan sälja riktat reklamutrymme till andra aktörer. Konsumenter får ofta tillgång till tjänsterna inte genom att betala pengar, utan i stället genom att tillhandahålla sina personuppgifter och acceptera att dessa behandlas i marknadsföringssyfte. Genom EU-direktiv 2019/770 och dess implementation A number of internet-based services are in today’s digital economy financed by collecting data about their users in order to sell targeted advertising space to other actors. Consumers often gain access to these services not by paying money, but by providing their personal data and allowing for it to be process-sed for marketing purposes. Through EU Directive 2019/770 and its implementation in the

Background: A wrist-worn wearable device for acquiring limb and chest ECG leads (wECG) may constitute a promising approach to detection of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, it remains to be demonstrated whether the information conveyed by the wECG is sufficient for AMI detection. Objective: To explore explainable machine learning models for detecting AMI using the wECG. Methods: Two type

In recent years, the environmental impact of warfare has made front-page news. Discussions about “ecocide”—a term first proposed in 1970 by Yale biologist Arthur W. Galston to describe the large-scale destruction of ecosystems during the Vietnam War—have come into the spotlight. The preparation and conduct of war, along with the social, economic, and scientific reorganisation that accompany it, of

The Velika Vrbica loess-palaeosol sequence, situated on the south-western bank of the Danube River in northeastern Serbia, represents one of the key Quaternary records in the lower Danube basin, covering the MIS 5-MIS 1 period. Previous investigations of the upper 500 cm established a high-resolution chronology and revealed unexpected patterns of dust accumulation during interstadial phases. In th

In March of 2025, the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court decided to request a preliminary ruling in a case regarding repayment of Swedish withholding tax on dividends. The non-resident company claimed that they were not obligated to calculate their results according to Swedish rules, whereas the Swedish tax authority claimed that not doing so would make it impossible to determine whether the non

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) include many types of organic compounds, such as alkanes, olefins, aldehydes, etc. They have attracted widespread attention in various fields such as food and flavor analysis, environmental and atmospheric research, safety, or healthcare. Developing efficient, practical, and high-value industrial VOC utilization technologies is crucial for sustainable social and h

I betänkandet av Straffreformutredningen, som inleddes i augusti 2023, föreslås ett reformerat påföljdssystem för att stärka brottsofferperspektivet. Rättvisan uppnås således genom ett perspektivskifte – fokuset förflyttas från gärningsman till brottsoffer. På grund av den ökade brottsligheten och de konstanta samhällsförändringarna, motiverar lagstiftaren, att ett förändrat system är, följaktligeThe report of the Criminal Reform Inquiry, that was initiated in August 2023, suggests a reformed penalty system for the purpose of strengthening the perspective of victims of crime. Justice is thus achieved through a shift of perspective – from the offender to the victim. Because of an increase in crime and the constant changes in society, the legislator justifies that a changed system is, conseq
