In the last few decades, the neurodiversity movement has fought for the wider acceptance and destigmatization of previously pathologized neurological conditions, such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyspraxia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and Tourette syndrome. Increased recognition of the unique skills possessed by neurodivergent individuals, combined with the pressure to take on s
Background: Registries are important in rare disease research. The Anorectal Malformation Network (ARM-Net) registry is a well-established European patient registry collecting demographic, clinical, and functional outcome data. We assessed the quality of this registry through review of the structure, data elements, collected data, and user experience. Material and methods: Design and data elements
Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) play a key role in response to injury and remodeling of the heart. Nucleotide (P2) receptors regulate the heart but limited information is available regarding such receptors in CFs. We thus sought to determine if extracellular nucleotides regulate fibrotic responses (e.g., proliferation, migration and expression of profibrotic markers) of CFs in primary culture. UTP incre
Highly glazed buildings are designed by architects to be airy, light and transparent with more access to daylight. Their energy efficiency, however, has become questioned. Therefore, energy simulations of single skin office buildings in Sweden were carried out, using a dynamic energy simulation tool. In order to study the impact of glass on the energy use during the occupation stage, office buildi
INTRODUCTION Preshivering thermogenesis (developing muscle tension) may not be noticed in static situations due to reduced metabolism under mild body cooling. This paper describes the observations of metabolic and heart rate changes under mild body cooling. METHODS Eight men participated in the study. The subjects were dressed in shorts, socks and shoes, and were seated. The air temperature (32 °C
Background: Cyclic opening and closing of lung units during tidal breathing may be an important cause of iatrogenic lung injury. We hypothesized that airway closure is uncommon in children with healthy lungs when inspiratory pressures are kept low, but paradoxically may occur when inspiratory pressures are increased. Methods: Elastic equilibrium volume (EEV) and closing capacity (CC) were measured
(Neuro)psychiatric diagnoses such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a rapidly growing and globally increasing phenomenon, not least in different educational contexts such as in family and in school. Children and youths labelled as ADHD are challenging normative claims in terms of nurturing and education, whereas those labelled as ADHD are considered a (future) risk for society (Neuro)psychiatric diagnoses such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a rapidly growing and globally increasing phenomenon, not least in different educational contexts such as in family and in school.

Purpose: The main objective of this thesis is to examine the effect different drivers of agency costs have on corporate cash holdings in public and private German technology firms. The analysis identifies three potential sources of agency costs. By determining target cash levels first and then obtaining deviations from these targets, the influences of agency costs are measurable. Data Set: The sam
The present quantitative research focuses on studying the effect of uncertainty in online information search related mainly to travel planning. The main emphasis is in the individual and combined effect of these variables towards different demographic segments of international travelers. In order to do so it draws insights from Uncertainty avoidance (Hofstede, 2001) and information foraging theory
The purpose of this essay is to find out how the Swedish district court relates to children’s rights when sentencing young offenders to the new penalty called youth surveillance. Since the Convention on the Rights of the Child is a part of the Swedish law, there was an interest to examine whether law in books actually is implemented in law in action regarding the penalty of youth surveillance. T
Nowadays it has become relevant for scientists to understand the impact of tropical forest structure on the Global Carbon Cycle. Dynamic vegetation models have been developed to pursue this issue, specifically by improving algorithms that could analyze the allometry, biomass content and mortality rate of each singular simulated plant individual and how this responds to climate change, management aCompetition between neighbouring trees has a big impact on their growth. Trees have different strategies to deal with competing neighbours. Some grow quickly and tall, overshadowing neighbouring trees, but die young (Georges K., 2015). Others grow more slowly, but outlive the fast-growing ones and cast shade on them over a longer period. These interactions have a strong influence on the dynamics o
This paper reviews the literature on R&D and productivity to provide a guideline to readers by combining all the findings in one title. According to the results, empirical studies analyse R&D spending from different angles by considering the characteristic of such spending. The results show that return to basic research is higher than return to applied R&D. Furthermore, in order to est

The purpose of this study is to examine the political debate regarding the repeal of the Swedish prohibition against monasteries 1949-1961. The study emphasis is on the Swedish religious freedom bill from 1949 (that proposed the conditional repeal of the monastery prohibition) as well as on two parliamentary debates from 1951 and 1961 where the issue was discussed. As a theoretical framework the e

This paper aims to new insights into the start-up’s perception on skill development an accelerator for social entrepreneurship. Whil the need for socia
Title: The Impact of the Pandemic and War on the State of Global Supply Chains Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to outline the current state of global supply chains and global energy supply as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as Russia-Ukraine war. Current energy and supply chain issues are explored and discussed based on existing theory on the topic. When the overall issues are cla
Accepting the natural - idea analysis of the usage of ”the natural” in the manifesto acceptera (1931) The manifesto acceptera is considered a very influential text for the introduction of functionalism in Swedish architecture and planning. Written in 1931 and associated with the broader Social Democratic agenda, its ideas represent a radical position aiming to shift architecture and society into

I dagens digitaliserade samhälle möter utgivare och publicister av traditionellt tryckt media stora ekonomiska motgångar vid försäljningen av exempelvis nyhetstidningar eller andra tidskrifter. Således har majoriteten av utläggare idag gjort sina publikationer tillgängliga för läsare online. De digitala intäkterna lyckas dock inte väga upp för de förluster utgivarna lider av den nedåtgående försälIn today's digitized society, publishers of legacy printed media face major financial hardships in the sale of newspapers and other magazines. Thus, most publishers today have made their publications available to readers online. However, digital revenues do not make up for the losses that the publishers suffer from the decreasing sales of printed media. This can in part be attributed to the fa
