BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are known to have a higher risk for a wide range of health conditions compared to the general population. However, there is little research comparing a more comprehensive range of diseases and conditions at different ages. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the overall age-specific diagnostic pattern among people with ID compared

The very high spin behaviour of nuclei with ∼ 10 particles outside the 146Gd core are studied. Our method of calculation, which is based on the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky formalism, makes possible to follow individual configurations as functions of spin. We concentrate on 158Er and 154Dy which nuclei become oblate with rotation around the symmetry axes for I = 40-50. It is found that most such obl

Transverse Resonant Island Buckets (TRIBs) is a promising method for pseudo-single bunch delivery in the MAX IV 1.5 GeV storage ring. In this thesis, a theoretical model of the non-linear optics based on resonant Hamiltonian mechanics is applied to the TRIBs optics. Measurement techniques for characterizing the TRIBs orbit are developed and tested and compared with theoretical predictions and nume

SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections (BTIs) are relatively common, but little is known in terms of differentiating responses associated with asymptomatic BTI (ABTI) versus symptomatic BTI (SBTI). Here, we investigated the impact of ABTI and SBTI on antibody and T-cell responses toward Spike. SBTI donors had significantly higher plasma anti-Spike RBD IgG titers compared to both ABTI and SARS-CoV-2 va

Context: Organic farming aims to make agriculture more sustainable, but its sustainability benefits may be offset by lower yields compared to conventional farming. Avenues to increase organic yields have been studied extensively, but there is a lack of research using integrated approaches that consider co-variation between different organic management practices within commercial farming systems. M

This article investigates verb placement, especially verb second (V2), in post-puberty L2 learners of two closely related Germanic V2-languages, Swedish and German. Håkansson, Pienemann & Sayehli (2002) have adduced data from L1 Swedish-speaking learners of German in support of the claim that the syntactic property of V2 never transfers from the L1 to L2 interlanguage grammars. Regardless of L

The Roan peninsula in western Norway, Vestranden, is known for exposing one of the deepest parts of the Scandinavian Caledonian orogen, similar to the Western Gneiss Region. Throughout the Roan area, eclogites and high-pressure granulite- and amphibolite-facies gneisses occur, associated with supracrustal rocks including marbles, calc-silicate rocks and amphibolites. Although extensive research ha

Det svenska skattesystemet skiljer mellan olika inkomstslag som beskattas olika. Tanken när systemet infördes var att det skulle kompensera för t.ex. inflationen och att det faktiskt beskattade värdet därigenom skulle bli detsamma. Så blev inte fallet och det är idag mycket lukrativare att föra ut vinst ur bolag genom utdelning än lön. Eftersom skatterättsliga bestämmelser anknyter till civilrätThe Swedish tax system distinguishes between different types of income and taxes them differently. The idea when the system was introduced was that it would compensate for e.g. inflation so that the actual taxation would be the same. However, it didn’t work out and today it is much more lucrative to bring out profits from companies through dividends than wages. Because tax law provisions are link

In "Temperate Women. Educators, Entrepreneurs and Political Agents. The White Ribbon 1900–1930" the female Christian temperance union, the White Ribbon, is in focus. The organization’s ambition was to create a temperate and moral society, running a variety of philanthropic institutions and adult education, as well as non-alcohol restaurants. The aim of the thesis is to study the White Ribbon’s so

Attitudes towards violence were assessed using both implicit (The Single Category Implicit Association Test; Karpinski & Steinman, 2006) and explicit measurements (a Feeling Thermometer). A group of criminals showed more positive explicit and implicit attitudes towards violence than a group of non-criminals. In addition, The Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992) revealed significan

Syftet med denna studie var att få en ökad förståelse om skillnader i intern och extern motivation bland två svenska anställningsformer i bemanningsbranschen: Tillsvidare- och tidsbegränsat anställda. Den svenska bemanningsbranschen kan ses som unik i jämförelse med resten av världen. Det har därför inte gjorts mycket forskning inom området. Denna studie syftade till att fylla det existerande kuns

Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda på vilka grunder passivitet kan leda till avtalsbindning eller förlust av rättigheter inom avtalsförhållanden enligt gällande svensk rätt. Analysen fokuserar både på skrivna regler om passivitet och oskrivna normer som framgår av rättspraxis och doktrin. Passivitet i egenskap av rättshandling, rättsfaktum och avtalstolkningsdatum utreds med stöd av relevanta rättskälThe aim of this thesis is to investigate the grounds on which passivity causes contractual effect in the form of binding agreement or loss of contractual rights, according to Swedish law. The analysis pertains to passivity norms as they are found in the Contracts Act, the Limitations Act and the Commercial Agents Act as well as in the unwritten passivity norms developed in case law. The investigat

When looking at medical device and rehabilitation tools of today’s market, most of them are limited to one specific action or situation. When being sick and suffering from e.g. rheumatism or are in need of rehabilitation after a stroke, one easily gets limited to the home environment. If the subject need to leave the house, an insecurity could occur when being put into situations that the re

The Purpose of this study is to analyze possible differences in the conditions of labor market entry for young people in Swedish High Schools. Differences in conditions for students are interesting to study with the knowledge that youth unemployment in Sweden today is quite high compared to many other European countries and that young people generally have a weaker position in the labor market tha

This study undertakes a quantitative and usage-based Cognitive Linguistic study on the representation and conceptualisation of FEMININITY on English Wikipedia. Contemporary information media are changing fundamentally and the place of Wikipedia in the new media space is important not only because of its influence but because it is radically different to traditional media. Unlike news press, the ci

In the present study, the enzyme thymidine kinase 1 from tomato (ToTK1) was expressed in E.coli and purified to near homogeneity by means of affinity chromatography. However, purified ToTK1 of bacterial origin displayed no substantial catalytic activity. Expression was also attempted in insect cells using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). Significant TK activities were detected in t
