Background/Objectives: To map the literature and describe the meaning, use, and experience of power mobility for children with complex non-ambulant cerebral palsy (Gross Motor Classification System (GMFCS) levels IV–V and Manual Abilities Classification System (MACS) levels III–V). Methods: Included searches in five electronic databases, grey literature, and hand searches with no restrictions on d
The danger for Europe is not only that the Islamic regime in Iran survives its current crisis. The greater danger is that it survives because of a deal with the United States - one that gives the regime time, money, diplomatic space and the illusion of renewed legitimacy, allowing it to do what it has always done: rebuild, adapt and expand its operations abroad.
Summary: Background: Patients with intermittent claudication (IC) need lifelong treatment with secondary prevention, including smoking cessation, physical activity, and best medical treatment. The deficiency in existing support indicates a need for new strategies to improve self-management of the disease. However, knowledge of electronic health (e-health) as support for these patients is lacking.
Aims: Intermittent claudication (IC) is the most common manifestation of peripheral artery disease (PAD), an atherosclerotic condition associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Management targets cardiovascular risk reduction and limb function, but effective non-invasive treatments for limb symptoms remain limited. The aim of this prospective, multicentre randomized controlled t
Objective: To assess parental acceptability and experiences of in-bed intact cord resuscitation (ICR) vs standard care during neonatal resuscitation in the Sustained Cord Circulation and Ventilation (SAVE) trial. Study design: A national cross-sectional electronic survey was administered 1 month postpartum (2022-2025). A questionnaire initially developed by Katheria et al was used to assess parent
BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities often have complex healthcare needs and may therefore experience different patterns of healthcare utilization. This study examined the overlap between the use of public and private healthcare providers as an indicator of access to choice-enabled healthcare providers within a patient-choice-based health system.METHODS: We assessed overlap in two com
BACKGROUND: Changes in ischemic white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume on magnetic resonance imaging over time are associated with cognitive decline. We investigated whether changes in WMH volume over time exhibit threshold effects of normalized WMH volume on declining cognitive performance and whether these effects on cognition differ between deep WMHs (DWMHs) and periventricular WMHs (PVWMHs).
This master’s thesis examines the legal conditions under which the Swedish Transport Administration may close railway crossings and how such measures are implemented in practice. The study focuses particularly on the interaction between the Swedish Real Property Formation Act, the Swedish Railway Construction Act, and the property protection mechanisms intended to safeguard individual property own
Detta examensarbete undersöker utvecklingen och prestandan hos en AI-baserad värderingsmodell för svenska småhus. Arbetet syftar till att analysera hur AI-baserade värderingsmodeller fungerar, vilka utmaningar som uppstår vid deras skapande, samt vilka etiska och samhällsmässiga begränsningar som förknippas med deras användning. Som metod har en egen värderingsmodell utvecklats med hjälp av maski
Kulturhistoriskt värdefulla byggnader och miljöer utgör en viktig del av samhällets identitet och kulturarv. Genom PBL har kommunerna möjlighet att skydda kulturvärden genom detaljplaner med hjälp av skyddsbestämmelser, rivningsförbud och varsamhetsbestämmelser. Dessa bevarandebestämmelser används för att säkerställa att kulturhistoriskt värdefulla byggnader och miljöer bevaras, värnas och beaktasThis thesis examines how Swedish municipalities apply conservation provisions in detailed development plans and whether these provisions comply with the requirements of the Swedish Planning and Building Act. The study focuses on preservation regulations intended to protect cultural heritage values, including protection provisions, demolition prohibition and caution provisions. It also investigates
Avverkningsförbud till följd av artskydd i skogsbruket innebär långtgående inskränkningar i enskildas möjlighet att nyttja sin mark, samtidigt som det saknas en uttrycklig lagreglering om rätt till ersättning i dessa situationer. Examensarbetet behandlar frågan om ersättning vid avverkningsförbud till följd av artskydd i skogsbruket. Arbetet tar sin utgångspunkt i den konflikt som uppstår mellan s
Entrepreneurial mental health has been linked to significant individual and venture-level outcomes, including reduced self-efficacy, impaired decision-making, and increased likelihood of exit. However, an underexplored dimension within entrepreneurship research concerns how early-stage entrepreneurs actively cope with psychological strain, and in particular how formal support structures such as in
People keep starting businesses despite the high probability of failure. This paradox is often blamed on overconfidence, but existing research tends to confound different dimensions of overconfidence into a single, blurry bias. This thesis separates overconfidence into its three distinct dimensions: overestimation, overplacement, and overprecision. The goal is to see if having prior entrepreneuria
Sustainable startups are recognized as both risky yet important drivers of innovation to societal and environmental challenges, whereas Venture capital (VC) firms play a critical role in enabling growth through financing and active ownership. Although sustainability is becoming a requirement and a driving force for the future, prior literature points to fragmented frameworks and weak risk assessme
This study examines how early-stage entrepreneurs come to engage in financial bootstrapping under conditions of financial constraint. Existing research has largely focused on the techniques entrepreneurs use to bootstrap and the structural conditions associated with such behaviour, while the interpretive process through which bootstrapping becomes a workable response has received limited attention
Smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) is a precursor to multiple myeloma (MM) and present in 0.5% of the population over 40 years old [1, 2]. In 10–20% of MM patients, the clonal BMPC do not produce intact M proteins but only free light chains (FLC) [3, 4]. This subgroup termed light-chain MM and well-characterized, but light-chain SMM is not clearly defined.Historically, monoclonal FLC were detected
