OBJECTIVE: To clarify, using an extended adoption design, the sources of parent-offspring transmission for anxiety disorder (AD) and its major subforms and their familial cross-generational relationship with major depression (MD). METHODS: Offspring (born 1960-1992) and their parents, from six family types (intact, not-lived-with biological father or mother, lived-with step-father or step-mother,

Cancer and COVID-19 are both well-established risk factors predisposing to thrombosis. Both disease entities are correlated with increased incidence of venous thrombotic events through multifaceted pathogenic mechanisms involving the interaction of cancer cells or SARS-CoV2 on the one hand and the coagulation system and endothelial cells on the other hand. Thromboprophylaxis is recommended for hos

In modern industrial settings with small batch sizes it should be easy to set up a robot system for a new task. Strategies exist, e.g. the use of skills, but when it comes to handling forces and torques, these systems often fall short. We introduce an approach that provides a combination of task-level planning with targeted learning of scenario-specific parameters for skill-based systems. We propo

Mitt avhandlingsarbete är ett teoretiskt utforskande av den mellanmänskliga förståelsens tvetydiga roll i praktiskt socialt arbete. Avhandlingen är en sammanläggningsavhandling vilket betyder att den är uppbyggd av flera delstudier och en introducerande tillika sammanfattande kappa. I mina fyra delstudier om ämnena empati, stigmatisering och kamratstöd undersöker jag olika aspekter av mellanmänsklThis thesis aims to explore how phenomenological philosophy may contribute to the conception of interpersonal understanding in the context of social work practice. The thesis consists of an extended introduction and four original papers, investigating modalities of interpersonal understanding in relation to three different subjects, namely empathy, stigmatization, and peer-support. The thesis sets

BACKGROUND: The relation between blood pressure and kidney cancer risk is well established but complex and different study designs have reported discrepant findings on the relative importance of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP). In this study, we sought to describe the temporal relation between diastolic and SBP with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) risk in detail.METHODS

A considerable number of lakes in Sweden have high phosphorus internal loading from the sediments which cause cyanobacterial blooms every summer. Due to potential risks with such blooms for human health, drinking water supply, and ecosystem services, measures need to be taken to control the phosphorus content. Measures to control the phosphorus input from the surrounding land has been in focus. Ho

We propose a formulation of the Network Design Problem (NDP) to support transport planners in dealing with multimodal networks in contexts characterised by different (and sometimes conflicting) interests and limited resources in a transparent way. We expect that the implementation of the method can increase the acceptability of transport schemes. The proposed formulation expands the scope of tradi

Background: Working on the labour ward entails being responsible for severe events during which a mother or baby may be injured or may die. Such events might affect decision-making, team-working, capacity for empathy, and patient safety. Aim: To explore midwives’ and obstetricians’ experiences, reactions and interpretations of being part of a severe event on the labour ward. Design. A qualitative

Languages of diverse structures and different families tend to share common patterns if they are spoken in geographic proximity. This convergence is often explained by horizontal diffusibility, which is typically ascribed to language contact. In such a scenario, speakers of two or more languages interact and influence each other’s languages, and in this interaction, more grammaticalized features t

In the context of growing concerns over climate change and peak oil, biofuels for transport are attracting considerable support from the European Union (EU). However, the sustainability of biofuels is under increasing debate. Furthermore, the complexity of the biofuels industry (involving different resources and feedstock suppliers, different logistics providers and options, a range of technologie

Background Colic affects at least 10% of newborns and parents seek help. The aim of this study was to present why infants whose parents sought help for colic, where not included in two colic trials and to describe the use and perceived effect of simethicone and probiotics amongst those infants who were included. Method A quantitative, descriptive sub-study based on unpublished data collected in

Free energy perturbations have been performed on two blue copper proteins, plastocyanin and nitrite reductase. By changing the copper coordination geometry, force constants, and charges, we have estimated the maximum energy with which the proteins may distort the copper coordination sphere. By comparing this energy with the quantum chemical energy cost for the same perturbation on the isolated cop

I en tid med återuppbyggnad av svenskt totalförsvar efterlyser olika aktörer ytterligare kunskap om civilsamhällets frivillighet. Den tidigare forskningen om frivillighet inom det här området saknar ett djupare individperspektiv kring hur frivillighet upplevs av den civila frivilliga, i förhållande till plikt, ansvar och krav. Syftet med denna fallstudie är därför att med kulturanalys fördjupa kunIn a time of reconstruction of the Swedish total defence various actors seek more knowledge about volunteering within the civil society. Previous research on volunteering in this area lack deeper micro perspectives on civil experiences of volunteering in relation to duty, responsibility and demands. Therefore, the purpose of this case study has been to deepen the cultural analytical knowledge of t

Syfte: Studien syftar till att kartlägga hur erfarna logopeder i konsensus perceptuellt bedömer transkvinnors röster. Ett vidare syfte är kartlägga om logopedernas perceptuella konsensusbedömning av parametern maskulin respektive feminin och parametern röstansträngning korrelerar med transkvinnornas självskattning av samma parametrar. Metod: Undersökningen är en deskriptiv studie som kombinerar kPurpose: The following study attempts to map how experienced speech-language pathologists perceptually evaluate trans women’s voices in consensus. A further purpose is to compare perceptual evaluations of speech-language pathologists (SLP’s), to examine any correlation to trans women’s self-evaluation of the same parameters. Method: This descriptive study entails quantitative as well as qualitat

Purpose: To investigate whether the ambitiousness of sustainability performance target and/or issuer sustainability profile have an influence on Sustainability-Linked Bond (SLB) yield spreads. Methodology: The utilized econometric approach is OLS regressions on a cross-sectional data. The regressions use yield spreads as dependent variables, a self-constructed ambitiousness proxy, Average Annual

Various studies on clientelism usually start from a common puzzle: Why is campaign clientelism widely practised by politicians even when they have no means of ensuring reciprocity from the voters? Similarly, why is campaign clientelism widespread amongst voters despite its numerous negative consequences on societies, democracy, and development? These puzzles have motivated my research, where I att

PV system components that are exposed to unmanageable strain can be overheated, which subsequently results in a fire ignition. Common failure factors are poor component quality, mechanical exposure due to natural phenomena and poor craftmanship. The underlying problem is that PV regulations are lacking in quality or are non-existent. The rapid expansion of roof mounted PV system installation on co

Manlig omskärelse är det vanligast utförda kirurgiska ingreppet i världen och har en historia som sträcker sig tusentals år bak i tiden. Ingreppet kan genomföras under hela livet men sker i stor omfattning under tidig barndom. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att sammanställa en ämnesöversikt över kunskapsläget om möjliga psykologiska konsekvenser av ingreppet i tidig barndom. En systematisk littMale circumcision is the most performed surgical procedure in the world and has a history that stretches back thousands of years. The procedure can be carried out throughout life but is to a large extent performed during infancy. The purpose of this study has been to compile a subject overview that clarifies the state of knowledge regarding possible psychological consequences of the procedure when
