Intranasal oxytocin (OT) has previously been found to increase spirituality, an effect moderated by OT-related genotypes. This pre-registered study sought to conceptually replicate and extend those findings. Using a single dose of intranasal OT vs placebo (PL), we investigated experimental treatment effects, and moderation by OT-related genotypes on spirituality, mystical experiences, and the sens
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The transmission routes for GB virus-C (GBV-C)/hepatitis G virus (HGV) in blood donors unexposed to hepatitis C virus (HCV) are unknown. We performed a case-control study of risk factors for GBV-C/HGV exposure in blood donors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After testing stored sera from 458 HCV-negative blood donors for GBV-C/HGV RNA and GBV-C/HGV E2 antibodies, 66 donors with
Background: Short-term trials conducted in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) showed that reducing sedentary behaviour by performing regular short bouts of light-intensity physical activity enhances health. Moreover, support for reducing sedentary behaviour may be provided at a low cost via mobile health technology (mHealth). There are a wide range of mHealth solutions available including
Objective This scoping review examines how different levels and types of partial foot amputation affect gait and explores how these findings may affect the minimal impairment criteria for wheelchair tennis.Methods Four databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and SPORTDiscus) were systematically searched in February 2021 for terms related to partial foot amputation and ambulation. The search was updated
Denna uppsats behandlar den romerska lagen lex Aquila och dess roll i det svenska rättsväsendet i stort och dess påverkan på skadeståndsrätten särskilt. Den syftar till att definiera lex Aquilias regler och bakgrund. Syftet är även att visa när lex Aquilias regler tillträde Sverige och hur dom har tillämpats. Utifrån ovannämnda redogörs följande frågeställningar: Lex Aquilias uppkomst och innehållThe purpose of the essay is to examine the ancient roman law lex Aquilia and its role in the Swedish regulatory framework. The essay is focused on lex Aquilias influence on Swedish tort law. The purpose is to define lex Aquilias code and its historic background. It also treats in which time frame it started to impact Swedish law and how it has been applied. Based on the above the following questio
A search is presented for production of a heavy up-type quark (t') together with its antiparticle, assuming subsequent decay to a W boson and a b quark, t'(t) over bar' -> W(+)bW(-)(b) over bar. The search is based on 1.04 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Data are analyzed in the lepton + jets final state, chara
Protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt has been strongly implicated in the insulin-dependent stimulation of GLUT4 translocation and glucose transport in skeletal muscle and fat cells. Recently an allosteric inhibitor of PKB (Akti) that selectively targets PKB alpha and -beta was reported, but as yet its precise mechanism of action or ability to suppress key insulin-regulated events such as glucose and amino a
Using primary research from majority-Western respondents in conjunction with an array of multi-disciplinary secondary literature, this thesis acts as a response to claims of the overwhelming existence of ‘placelessness’ in our modernised and globalised world. Instead, it suggests that place attachment is alive and well in the West. Furthermore this thesis suggests that place attachment can be show
The Swedish higher education system experienced a dramatic expansion since the 1960s. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, four higher education institutions obtained university status. As a result, scholars based in these universities enjoyed greater access to research resources. This study aims to utilize the 1999-2005 expansion to estimate the effects of increased access to research funds on scie
SAMMANFATTNING Apply Emtunga är ett företag som saknar struktur gällande sin orderprocess. Examensarbetets syfte är därför att kartlägga företagets orderprocess samt klarlägga vilka problem som uppstår i samband med denna. Examensarbetet ämnar därmed svara på följande tre frågor: - hur orderprocessen ser ut, vilka problem som kan identifieras i samband med orderprocessen samt vilka förslag på åtg
Mental health of trauma-affected refugees is an understudied area, resulting in inadequate and poorer treatment outcomes. To address this, more high-quality treatment studies that include predictive analyses, long-term evaluations, cultural adaptations, and take account for comorbidities, are needed. Moreover, given the complex intertwining of refugees’ health with post-migration stressors and oth
The heat storage changes (Q t) can be a significant component of the energy balance in lakes, and it is important to account for Q t for reasonable estimation of evaporation at monthly and finer timescales if the energy balance-based evaporation models are used. However, Q t has been often neglected in many studies due to the lack of required water temperature data. A simple hysteresis model (Q t
Introduction Mild traumatic brain injury is common in children and it can be challenging to accurately identify those in need of urgent medical intervention. The Scandinavian guidelines for management of minor and moderate head trauma in children, the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee guideline 2016 (SNC16), were developed to aid in risk stratification and decision-making in Scandinavian emergenc
