Purpose: Resilience has been suggested as an important predictor of both physical and mental health-related quality of life in breastcancer patients. However, it is unclear why resilient women handle their diagnosis better, not only mentally, but also physically. Theaim of this study was to investigate paths between resilience, physical activity, and mental, physical, and global health-related qua
BACKGROUND: Discrimination may further impede access to medical care for individuals in socially disadvantaged positions. Sociodemographic information and perceived discrimination intersect and define multiple contexts or strata that condition the risk of refraining from seeking physician's care. By applying analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (AIHDA) we aimed to impro
INTRODUCTION: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated with immune disturbances, including a higher incidence of infections and autoimmune diseases as well as a net pro-inflammatory state. Natural killer (NK) cells, a key component of the innate immune system, have been less well-studied in PTSD despite their importance in immunity.METHODS: We studied two independent samples of co
Popular Abstract in SwedishKränkningsersättning förutsätter enligt lagtexten en ”skada” men det är inte en fysisk eller medicinskt påvisbar personskada som avses, snarare är det den personliga integritetskränkning som brottsliga angrepp kan medföra. Ersättningen är tänkt att ge kompensation för den kränkning som brottet medfört så att brottsoffret får upprättelse. Men är det möjligt att ersätta enThe thesis takes its starting point in the question of how damages for violation of crime is determined. This type of non-pecuniary damages to crime victims has a fundamental uncertainty regarding the computation of damages and what is really meant by “violation” in the meaning of the law. There is also a gliding between the violation and the suffering, as to which the compensation is related. The
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nanoteknologi handlar om att på ett kontrollerat sätt utnyttja strukturer med minst en dimension i nanometerområdet (i storleksordningen 1 till 100 miljondels millimeter). Nanostrukturer har använts under lång tid och redan under medeltiden användes guldpartiklar av varierande storlek för att tillverka infärgade glas. Idag använder vi nanoteknologi dagligdags, t.ex. i vThis dissertation deals with the geometric and electronic structure of surfaces on III–V semiconductor nanowires (NWs). NWs made of InAs, GaAs, and InP have been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S), low energy electron microscopy (LEEM), photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All of the mentioned techniques have been devel
High performance requirements increased the popularity of unconventional architectures. While providing better performance, such architectures are generally harder to program and generate code for. In this paper, we present our approach to ease programmability and code generation for such architectures. We present a domain specific language (DSL) for the programming part, and a constraint programm
For extremely large telescopes, there is strong need for thin deformable mirrors in the 3-4 m class. So far, feasibility of such mirrors has not been demonstrated. Extrapolation from existing techniques suggests that the mirrors could be highly expensive. We give a progress report on a study of an approach for construction of large deformable mirrors with a moderate cost. We have developed low-cos
Popular Abstract in Swedish Perifer kärlsjukdom (peripheral arterial disease) innebär ett tillstånd med nedsatt blodcirkulation i benen som huvudsakligen beror på åderförkalkning (ateroskleros). De kliniska manifestationerna av perifer kärlsjukdom är fönstertittarsjuka (claudicatio intermittens) och svår cirkulationsnedsättning (kritisk ischemi) beroende på om blodcirkulationen är otillräcklig vidPeripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the manifestation of atherosclerotic lesions in arteries supplying blood to the legs. Atherosclerosis is now recognized as an inflammatory disease of the vessel wall and important features in the pathophysiology are activation of WBC, endothelial cells and increased levels of inflammatory mediators. The inflammatory response in PAD is further influenced in case
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Avsikten med denna studie har varit att värdera om det idag föreligger tecken som tyder på att utvecklingen av diagnostiska hjälpmedel och behandlingsmetoder vid cancer i bukspottkörteln har åtföljts av en förbättrad prognos, samt att värdera vilken roll rökning och magsårsoperation kan ha för uppkomsten av sjukdomen. Pancreascancer, cancer i bukspottkörteln, The objective of this thesis has been to assess whether there are indications suggesting that new methods for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic carcinoma (PCa) has been followed by an improved prognosis, and to assess the possible role of smoking and gastric resection in the causation of the disease. Of the 1,200 new cases PCa diagnosed in Sweden yearly, the majority are older than 70 years,
PURPOSE: Pre-clinical studies have shown that ex vivo non-ischemic heart preservation (NIHP) method can be safely used for 24 hours. This state-of-the-art method has never been applied on humans. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the NIHP method on early and late human heart allograft function compared with static cold storage (SCS). METHODS: We perfor
OBJECTIVES: Acute aortic dissection type A is a life-threatening condition, warranting immediate surgery. Presentation with sudden chest pain confers a risk of misdiagnosis as acute coronary syndrome resulting in subsequent potent antiplatelet treatment. We investigated the impact of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) on bleeding and mortality using the Nordic Consortium for Acute Type A Aortic Diss
BACKGROUND: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is caused by low levels of or defects in C1 inhibitor. Although disease activity may be modified by prophylaxis, emergency treatment, treatment for comorbidities, and oral contraceptives, the extent of their use is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate trends in the use of disease-specific and interfering drugs in patients with HAE compared with the general pop
There is currently interest in low strain HPHT diamond due to its expected application as various types of X-ray optical elements at Synchrotrons, where the X-ray intensity is becoming progressively too severe for the existing materials. The diamond crystals need to be synthesised with unprecedented lattice quality. In recent measurements at the ID19 beamline of European Synchrotron Radiation Faci
The protein parkin, encoded by the PARK2 gene, is vital for mitochondrial homeostasis, and although it has been implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD), the disease mechanisms remain unclear. We have applied mass spectrometry-based proteomics to investigate the effects of parkin dysfunction on the mitochondrial proteome in human isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons with and withou
BACKGROUND: Our aim was to investigate the prognostic potential of circulating dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (cDPP3) to predict mortality and development of organ dysfunction in a mixed intensive care unit (ICU) population, and for this reason, we analysed prospectively collected admission blood samples from adult ICU patients at four Swedish hospitals. Blood samples were stored in a biobank for later ba
Popular Abstract in Swedish Delaktighet i biståndsbedömning av äldre personer inför kommunalt bistånd. Äldre personers, familjemedlemmars och biståndsbedömares upplevelser. Den äldre generationen förväntas snabbt öka i Sverige och i övriga Europa under de kommande årtiondena. De äldres vårdbehov kommer att öka och därmed förväntas svårigheter att ombesörja tillräcklig kommunal vård och omsorg. ÅlAim: The overall aim of this thesis was to illuminate older persons' experience of becoming in need of public home help and their family members' experience of this situation. Further, the aim was to illuminate experiences of participation in the needs assessment process of older people and influence on decisions about public home help from the perspective of older needs-assessed persons, their fa
This paper aims to support the decision-making tasks regarding the integration of packaging development into product development. Based on the study of the interactions of the product and packaging during the whole product life cycle, a set of packaging-related factors was extracted and mapped to a general product development model, which at a strategic level can be used to define an integrated pr
Stödgrupper för barn som växer upp i familjer med psykisk ohälsa, skadligt bruk/beroende eller våld är en insats som erbjuds av socialtjänsten i många kommuner. Trots att stödgrupper ges på frivilliga grunder utan biståndsprövning, dvs ”lätt tillgängligt” (Prop.2024/25:89), är rekryteringen av barn en utmaning. Denna licentiatuppsats fördjupar kunskapen om de förhållanden och överväganden som påveIn Sweden, preventive support groups for children exposed to domestic violence, substance abuse or mental illness in the home are provided by child welfare services (CWS). Support groups for children are often accessible without assessment, available for families to access at their own request, without formal referral or opening a case file which is assumed to lower the threshold. A current approa
INTRODUCTION: Ageing right care(fully) is a transnational research study which explores and maps an understanding of the care pathways between ageing in place and hospital at home policy and practices for older adults in Israel, the Netherlands and Sweden. The countries are suited to be compared where they have growing, ageing populations, a focus on healthcare reform and several policies to reduc
