Silent brain infarcts and leucoaraiosis are frequently observed in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and ischemic stroke. Patients with silent brain infarcts and leucoaraiosis at baseline are a high-risk group with an increased long-term risk for recurrent stroke, cognitive decline, and dementia. Effects on short-term outcomes are less clear, but leucoaraiosis appear to increase the ri

Financial decisions that concerns us are not always made by ourselves. In real life, many situations arise when the decisions are taken for us by a third person.

Others are estimating the risks for us and makes financial decisions from their perception of the situation and perhaps their own risk preferen

This study investigates the link between growth or fixed mindset and maladaptive or adaptive coping strategies in students. It is hypothesized that an overall growth mindset leads to adaptive (healthy) coping mechanisms, whereas an overall fixed mindset fosters maladaptive (unhealthy) coping strategies. There is only one study by Doron, Stephan, Boiché & Scanff (2009) available that examines t

In the agriculture industry in the south of Sweden decreased water availability and longer growing season is expected due to climate change. By storing water resources during fall and winter, when natural water supply is high, the increased irrigation demand can be met. Stored water can be used to irrigate crops during spring and summer, ensuring food production. Longer growing season is likely to

Due to recent law changes, many municipalities are reviewing their crime prevention strategies. In Lund, narcotics is an area that requires further investigation. Contact with and information from the population is vital to plan effective preventative measures. This study contributes to filling a knowledge gap by bringing forward the perspectives of university students, who constitute a large part

Infection with the Gram-negative pathogen Prevotella intermedia gives rise to periodontitis and a growing number of studies implies an association of P. intermedia with rheumatoid arthritis. The serine protease Factor I (FI) is the central inhibitor of complement degrading complement components C3b and C4b in the presence of cofactors such as C4b-binding protein (C4BP) and Factor H (FH). Yet, the

I denna uppsats undersöks uppsalaskolans syn på rättighetsbegreppet med utgångspunkt i texter av Axel Hägerström, Vilhelm Lundstedt och Ingemar Hedenius. Syftet är att jämföra hur de tre författarna ser på rättighetsbegreppet. Uppsalaskolan har ofta framställts som en enhetlig rättsfilosofi, men i själva verket hade företrädarna skilda ståndpunkter i viktiga frågor. Alla tre författarna är i all v

The aim of this study is to understand the local phenomenom of pits in pairs on the Early Neolithic TRB gathering place of Almhov, Malmö, by studying the distribution of the osteological material in regard to species and body part frequencies. The results show that it is probable that at least two routines to place the animals in these pits were used. One method was to dig two pits, excluding anim
