Background Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a variant of cardiovascular autonomic disorder occurring predominantly in young women. POTS is characterized by an excessive heart rate increase when assuming upright posture accompanied by symptoms of orthostatic intolerance. The pathophysiology of POTS has not been fully established and is believed to be multifactorial. Purpose We a

Background: Life expectancy is increasing all over the world. To be able to support this positive development, health interventions focusing on promotion and prevention are crucial. Preventive home visits represent one example of a health intervention which addresses both promotion through a supportive dialogue and prevention by giving advice. However, to give support and advice that older persons

Alzheimer's disease researchers have been intrigued by the selective regional vulnerability of the brain to amyloid-β plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles. Post-mortem studies indicate that in ageing and Alzheimer's disease tau tangles deposit early in the transentorhinal cortex, a region located in the anterior-temporal lobe that is critical for object memory. In contrast, amyloid-β pathology

The compelling images and promises attached to autonomous drive vehicles can easily create an impression that one can speak of a radical distinction between a self-driving future and a manual-driving present. Yet today’s drivers can already refer to their everyday driving as being experienced as though on ‘auto-pilot’, in which they are able to drive their cars while lost in things such as daydrea

Background: Mammography screening programmes have been widely implemented across European countries over the past 40 years with the main aim to detect breast cancer earlier and thereby reduce breast cancer mortality. This study aimed to analyse and compare changes over time in breast cancer incidence, by stage at diagnosis, and breast cancer mortality across countries in relation to the timing of

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has traditionally been preferred over computed tomography (CT) for segmentation of intracranial structures due to its superior low contrast resolution. However, a reliable CT-based segmentation could improve patient management when MRI is not practical. Despite advancements in CT imaging, such as enhanced tissue differentiation using virtual monoenerget

BACKGROUND: Early-life exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may impact the developing lungs and immune system and increase the risk of childhood asthma, but no studies have been conducted in a high-exposed population. The objective of this study was to estimate associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and childhood incidence of asthma and wheeze in Blekinge County, Sweden, whe

Background: Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is a well-known risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, studies examining its relation to atrial fibrillation (AF) have produced conflicting results and suggested possible sex-specific differences. This study investigated the sex-specific associations between serum apoB concentrations and incident AF and offer insight into the inconsistencies in previous resea

Since the fusions are intraspecies, and in many cases involve highly aneuploid lines, it is not possible to perform de- tailed cytogenetic analyses. However, comparisons of total chromosome counts of hybrid clones with those of the parental cell lines indicate varying de- grees of chromosome loss in the hybrids. The median chromosome number in the hybrids from the GM 639 x T98G and GM 639 x GM 639

To be ready for new as well as current digital innovations, organisations need to have a digital strategy in place. This study examines organisations within the Swedish wood supply chain and evaluates their current digital strategies. This in order to gain a holistic view on their current efforts, challenges and opportunities for future digitalisation. The study was conducted within 7 semi structu

In a rapidly changing business environment, organisations need to find new ways to manage unpredictability to survive. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it apparent that organisations across industries can be vulnerable and exposed to crisis. Therefore, this thesis aims to research how organisations can manage crises in a changing world and become more receptive to change, to provide valuable knowled

The aim of this qualitative case study is to describe and investigate the development of citizen dialogues, which is an important part of participatory planning. In order to include citizens, dialogues are used in projects intended to develop areas constructed during the Swedish public housing programme Miljonprogrammet. Projekt DrottningH, which was initiated 2011 in Drottninghög, Helsingborg, is

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to provide the reader with knowledge of how the Swedish fashion industry, marketing strategies and consumption practices are affected by digitalization. This thesis is based on a netnographic method: a quantitative study. The digital survey aims to collect answers from the perspective of ones that have been or are shopping clothes on the internet. This thesis que

Loneliness as a social issue has been gaining extensive interest in recent years, but the subject has lacked results stemming from qualitative research and the link between loneliness and low income has been understudied. This thesis is one minor part in covering these both gaps. I have aimed at using previous quantitative findings on loneliness among low income earners in order to expand on the l

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka om, och i vilken utsträckning, ohövligt beteende tar sig uttryck hos blåljuspersonal i en svensk kontext. Studien ämnade även att undersöka förekomst av psykologisk trygghet samt grad av arbetsengagemang hos blåljuspersonal, och vidare om ohövligt beteende har något samband med hur arbetssituationen upplevs utifrån dessa variabler. Detta för att bid
