Sweden has never before had so many serving life sentences. Anyone sentenced to life imprisonment has the opportunity to apply to have their sentence fixed by a court. In that examination, the court must take into account various factors, including whether there is a risk that the lifer will relapse into serious crime. To help answer that question, the court has a statement from the National Board
During more than three decades, corporate non-financial and sustainability reporting has been widely conceived as a voluntary practice, a matter of going beyond the requirements of the law. Therefore, it has been traditionally overlooked by legal and socio-legal scholars. However, during the last decade things have rapidly changed. We are currently witnessing the emergence of a mix of mandatory a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Interdisciplinära smärtrehabiliteringsprogram har visat bättre resultat än mindre intensiva åtgärder. Det saknas dock kunskap inom flera olika områden. Denna avhandling har bland annat fokuserat vilka aktivitetsproblem som personer som genomgått ett sådant program upplever viktigast att förbättra. Alla deltagarna i programmet hade långvarig muskuloskeltal smärta med komMultidisciplinary pain rehabilitation programmes are found decreasing pain and improve back-to-work rates. There is, however, a lack of knowledge in several respects. The overall aim of this thesis was to study outcomes in terms of occupational performance, satisfaction with performance, psychosocial functioning, disability, and coping profiles at a one-year follow-up after a musculoskeletal pain
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund: Regelbunden fysisk aktivitet och träning anses som en livsstilsfaktor som kan förbättra muskelstyrkan, skelettet, konditionen och kroppssammansättningen. För barn och ungdomar är fysisk aktivitet inte bara viktigt för att träna de muskulära funktionerna, koordinationen och balansen. I ett större perspektiv kan en fysiskt aktiv livsstil också minska risken för Background: Regular participation in physical activity or organized exercise is regarded as one important lifestyle factor that could improve musculoskeletal health, fitness and body composition. For children and adolescents physical activity is important not only in training of the neuromuscular system, coordination and balance, but in a wider perspective, for adopting a lifestyle that possibly r
Extended abstractNew technologies have enabled an unprecedented level of data collection, enabling retailers to providepersonalized experiences as part of their strategy to deliver better customer value and managecustomer relationships. At the same time, increasingly intrusive data collection techniques have raisedsignificant privacy concerns among consumers and regulators. The result is an increa
Background: Cognitive rigidity and working memory impairment are established features of internalizing syndromes. Growing evidence suggests that deficits in affective control –cognitive control in the context of emotion – may underpin elevated emotion-related impulsivity in various psychiatric disorders. Objective: This study examines two components of affective control (affective flexibility and
Importance: Cutaneous malignant neoplasms are the most common subsequent neoplasm after blood or marrow transplant (BMT), but a full assessment among survivors is lacking. Objective: To identify risk factors for subsequent cutaneous malignant neoplasms using the BMT Survivor Study (BMTSS). Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent transplant
Background: Concerns about the cardiovascular safety of medications used for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) remain. We aimed to compare the effects of pharmacological treatments for ADHD on haemodynamic values and electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters in children, adolescents, and adults. Methods: For this systematic review and network meta-analysis, we searched 12 e
Cystatin C was identified as a marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in 1979, and the parallel analysis of cystatin C and creatinine led to the identification of shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) ? a new kidney disorder ? in 2015. Since then, it has been shown that cystatin C in many aspects is superior to creatinine as a marker of GFR and cardiovascular risk. SPS, an entity within the selective g
Lymfödem är en svullnad som kan uppkomma i olika delar av kroppen. Svullnaden uppstår på grund av att lymfvätska inte hinner dräneras bort i tillräcklig takt, utan blir kvar i vävnaden. Orsaken kan vara en medfödd genetisk svaghet i lymfsystemet alternativt en skada på lymfsystemet orsakat av operation, infektion, inflammation eller annan kroppskada. Vanligast i Sverige är lymfödem i arm eller benThe overall aim of this thesis was to develop a lymphedema-specific instrument for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to evaluate how persons with lymphedema experience HRQoL. Lymphedema is defined as swelling in one or more parts of the body that is due to impaired lymph drainage and transport. The impairments in the lymph system can be congenital or secondary to, e.g., cancer t
Background: Residual air accumulated air in the pulmonary veins constitutes a challenge to achievment of complete de-airing in open left heart surgery. To adress this problem, a conceptual method for de-airing was developed in Lund comprising bilateral opening of the pleurae to induce pulmonary collapse and a strategy with gradual pulmonary reperfusion and ventilation at weaning from cardiopulmona
Denna rapport utgör redovisning av ett arbete som LUCRAM (Lunds universitets centrum för riskanalys och riskhantering) har genomfört på uppdrag av Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB). Uppdraget heter ”Studie om föreskrifters inverkan på kommuners risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser avseende jämförbarhet och enhetlighet”. Inom detta uppdrag har LUCRAM genomfört en dokumentstudie av kommunala
The two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of β-carotene (beta-carotene) in chloroform solution were investigated over the 590-790 nm wavelength range. The TPA was characterized using the open-aperture z-scan technique with picosecond pulses provided by a widely traveling-wave optical parametric amplifier (OPA) pumped with a Ti:sapphire laser amplifier. We found the 0.2-1 cm/GW values of two photo
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur de två faktorerna självförtroende och inre motivation skiljer sig åt mellan personer som har kommit olika långt i riktning mot ett fysiskt aktivt liv. 144 försökspersoner besvarade 19 frågor i en enkätstudie. Deras svar angående motionsvanor och attityd gentemot fysisk aktivitet placerade dem i olika faser i den transteoretiska modellen. Därefter jämförd
The unique Swecrit Biobank and its associated clinical registries for sepsis, ARDS, cardiac arrest, trauma, and COVID-19 include more than 150,000 blood samples and descriptions of critically ill patients. These assets provide a unique opportunity to research and improve the care of the most seriously ill patients through biomarker analyses, proteomic studies, and genetic and epigenetic studies us
We propose data-driven surrogate models to solve systems of time-dependent differential equations coupled with noise. Using a feedforward neural network, we separately learn the noise and solution, tackling approximations across regimes with bifurcations and rare events. Focusing on irregular data generated by a stochastic noise model on a one-dimensional spatial lattice coupled to a differential
A method that could assess the whole vehicle non-exhaust particle (NEP) emission from the whole vehicle level was proposed by combining sealed housing with the chassis dynamometer. The intake and exhaust systems were connected to the out of the chamber to avoid possible effects on NEP emissions. The most distinguishing feature of the proposed method is the whole vehicle assessment of the NEP. Base
The effects of operational and environmental variability have been posed as one of the biggest challenges to transit structural health monitoring (SHM) from research to practice. To deal with that, machine learning algorithms have been proposed to learn from experience based on a reference data set. These machine learning algorithms work well based on the premise that the basis of the reference da
