Studies on the interaction between acceptance and pain-related processes after neck trauma are to our knowledge sparse and such treatment strategies are rarely incorporated in management and treatment of posttraumatic neck pain. Thus, the aim of the present study is to investigate how acceptance relates to persistent pain in patients after neck trauma, when controlling for the influence of other p
Objective:Use latent class analysis (LCA) to identify patterns of cognitive functioning in a sample of older adults with clinical depression and without dementia and assess demographic, psychiatric, and neurobiological predictors of class membership.Method:Neuropsychological assessment data from 121 participants in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative-Depression project (ADNI-D) were an
Background: Although women with fear of birth often report negative birth experiences, few studies have focused on their experiences in the long term. The aim of this study was to compare birth experiences a year after childbirth in two groups of women receiving treatment for experiencing fear of birth during pregnancy. Methods: As part of the U-CARE: Pregnancy Trial, a prospective multicenter ran
Clinical studies of Parkinson’s disease (PD) using a dopamine cell replacment strategy have been tried for more than 30 years. The outcomes following transplantation of human fetal ventral mesencephalic tissue (hfVM) have been variable, with some patients coming off their anti-PD treatment for many years and others not responding and/or developing significant side effects, including graft-induced
Despite an overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change poses severe risks to human and natural systems, many young Canadian adults do not view it as a major issue. We analyzed secondary science curricula in each province for their coverage of climate change according to six core topics: physical climate mechanisms (“It’s climate”), observed increase in temperature (“It’s warming”), anthr
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to characterise the population pharmacokinetics of FE 999049, a novel recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), after multiple dosing in healthy women, taking into account endogenous FSH levels and the reproductive hormone dynamics.METHODS: Longitudinal measurements of FSH, luteinising hormone, progesterone, estradiol, and inhibin B levels were coll
AimsCan drug abuse (DA) be transmitted psychologically between adult siblings consistent with a social contagion model?MethodsWe followed Swedish sibling pairs born in 1932-1990 until one of them, sibling1 (S1), had a first DA registration. We then examined, using Cox regression, the hazard rate for a first registration for DA in sibling2 (S2) within 3 years of a first DA registration in S1 as a f
Global warming is driving environmental change in the Arctic. However, our current understanding of this change varies strongly among different environmental disciplines and is limited by the number and distribution of field sampling locations. Here, we use a quantitative framework based on multivariate statistical modeling to present the current state of sampling across environmental disciplines
Based on data from three surveys of the vascular flora of the province of Scania, southernmost Sweden, conducted 1938–1971, 1987–2006 and 2008–2015, we analyse the change in frequency of individual species and groups of species associated with particular vegetation types. A majority of all species have experienced a change in frequency since 1938, and this turnover has continued in recent decades.
Accurate estimation of precipitation is crucial for fundamental input to various hydrometeorological applications. Ground-based precipitation data suffer limitations associated with spatial resolution and coverage; hence, satellite precipitation products can be used to complement traditional rain gauge systems. However, the satellite precipitation data need to be validated before extensive use in
För att skydda Sveriges grundvattentillgångar har Sveriges riksdag beslutat om miljökvalitetsmålet ”grundvatten av god kvalitet”. Ansvarig myndighet för att uppnå målet är Sveriges Geologiska Undersökning (SGU). Som ett steg i att uppnå målet utför SGU en kartering av landets grundvattentillgångar. Det innebär att definiera grundvattenmagasinens geometri och utbredning, tillrinningsområde, flödesrTo protect groundwater resources of Sweden, the Swedish parliament decided on the environmental objective "groundwater of high quality". The authority responsible for achieving the goal is the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU). As a step in achieving the goal SGU perform a mapping of the country's groundwater resources. This means defining the groundwater reservoir's geometry and
Organized crime has received much attention in Sweden the last decade and it is seen as a big threat against the society. In 2007 the government emphasized the importance to fight this type of criminality by taking a first initiative towards a national campaign against organized crime. Further the Minister of Justice wants to investigate whether it is possible to introduce a crown witness system i
Recent years have seen an explosion in innovative and sustainable mobility service offerings, especially car sharing and bike sharing. The latter contribute to sustainability by reducing individual car ownership, which has negative social, economic and especially environmental consequences. Yet, both industrial and academic discourses point out that no single mobility service is enough to meet the
Abstract Author: Patricia Pawlowska and Fatime Juka Title: Substitute treatment – the way out of an addiction or continuation of a long – term addiction? A qualitative study of substitute treatment from a user perspective. Supervisor: Erika Werner Keywords: substitute treatment, subutex, methadone, drug abuse and heroin. Aim: the aim of this study is to investigate how former drug addicts perce
The world around us is urbanising at a faster rate than ever. Today more than 70 per cent of the European population lives in urban areas, especially small and medium-sized cities. Often, cities are the centres of economic growth. In the context of urban pollution and climate change, cities are at the core of European policies due to their ability to be the ‘places’ where solutions and innovations
During the past four years we have seen a developing economic crisis in Greece. The media have reported cut-backs in the public sector, increased unemployment, upcoming demonstrations and intense political debates regarding emergency loans. The media also portrays how the humanitarian situation in Greece is worse than ever. For example, in fostercare in the country has increased by 150 % in the pa
In the laminator there are three laminator stations where protective layers are applied to the paperboard. In each station there are several rollers which help perform the lamination process, the most important rollers to be considered in this thesis are the nip roller and the chill roller. The nip roller is pushed towards the chill roller using hydraulic cylinders , thus creating a narrow contact
Issue of study: There is no clear framework for IPR negotiation to support the establishment of I-U collaboration by balancing their competing interests. For I-U collaborations within the same country, several sets of guidelines have been produced to emphasize IPR-issues in R&D collaborations. These have helped to increase awareness, but corporations and universities still report problems when
In the 1960:s the Swedish government approved a decision that led to the construction of about one million households during the years 1965-1975. Today these buildings are both deprived and suffer from high energy consumption. To address these problems individually is very expensive. If it instead is done simultaneously substantial savings can be made. The company AB Helsingborgshem owns and manag
