The aim of this study is to provide a survey of systematic reviews that have evaluated the effects of psychosocial interventions for adult people with intellectual disabilities and/or an autistic syndrome with concurrent mental health problems. Reviews for inclusion were identified through searches of 10 electronic databases. The authors found that 3 out of 126 published reviews met the inclusion
Cationic polymers are used in anionic surfactant formulations to deposit and co-deposit actives on hair or skin surfaces. A series of cationic polymers, natural and synthetic, were investigated with surface and bulk techniques, turbidity measurements and in situ null-ellipsometry on silica surfaces in order to understand three key areas: the relation between the complex that is formed at a surface
C3 nephritic factors are autoantibodies that prolong the half-life or prevent regulation of the alternative pathway C3 convertase, resulting in uncontrolled complement activation. They are strongly associated with renal disease but their role in pathogenesis remains controversial. Here we optimized and compared a panel of assays to identify and interrogate nephritic factor activities. Of 101 patie
Background: Rehabilitation is effective and beneficial for patients with arthritis. The lack of a common structure for describing the content of rehabilitation makes it difficult to compare, transfer and implement research evidence into clinical practice. Objective: To develop a framework comprising domains and elements of importance when describing arthritis rehabilitation. Methods: On the basis
Here, we present the activities within our research group over the last five yearswith cantilevers fabricated in the polymer SU-8. We believe that SU-8 is an interestingpolymer for fabrication of cantilevers for bio/chemical sensing due to its simple processingand low Young’s modulus. We show examples of different integrated read-out methodsand their characterisation. We also show that SU-8 cantil
Popular Abstract in Swedish Fibromodulin och dystrofin i ateroskleros; en populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning VAD ÄR ATEROSKLEROS? Ateroskleros – det man tidigare kallade för åderförkalkning – är grundorsaken till hjärtinfarkt, stroke och kärlkramp. Ett aterosklerosplack är en förträngning i ett blodkärl, ofta vid en förgrening där blodflödet är turbulent. Placket börjar ofta växa redan i unga år Cardiovascular disease represents nearly half the cases of noncommunicable diseases worldwide and is the leading global cause of death. The main underlying cause is atherosclerosis, and in atherosclerotic plaque progression the structure, composition and integrity of a dynamic extracellular matrix (ECM) is one very important factor. This thesis discusses the importance of the connection between th
As we’re living in a modern society, most of us have been connected to the water and electricity grid, However, there’re still billions of people who are still lack of reliable water and electricity resource. In some developing countries like India and Philippines, the demand for electricity and water are far more than actual production, which causes frequent electricity and water shortage problem
Value at Risk (VaR) is a popular measurement for valuing the risk exposure. Correct estimates of VaR are essential in order to properly be able to monitor the risk. This thesis examines a copula approach for estimating VaR for portfolios of commodities. The predictions are made from a semi- parametric model with Monte Carlo methods. The underlying model is constructed by choosing the best fit from
Aspects of Error Quantification and Evaluation in Digital Elevation Models for Glacier Surfaces This study explores methods to quantify and evaluate error in digital elevation models (DEMs) built from remotely sensed elevation data of the Hintereisferner glacier. A special focus lies on glacier surfaces because glaciers are often inaccessible for field observations but at the same time prone to m
Using laser it is possible to measure the backscattered light from insects. The resulting signal can then be analysed in order to potentially determine the species of the insect. Estimating the fundamental wing beat frequency (FWBF) of insects is important in order do this classification of species, which is an area of research that has been explored previously. In this thesis, the relative phase

Parallel trade in goods is generally viewed as a positive phenomenon within the EU as a consequence of the principle free movement of goods: When traders buy goods in one part of the common market at a low price and transfer it to a higher priced area, allowing them to undercut those prices, then this will enhance competition, drive down prices and give consumers more choice- an overall positive e
On 25 May 1993, the United Nation Security Council took the extraordinary and unprecedented step to establish the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) as means for restoration and maintenance of international peace and security. This was a major event for the all those who are concerned about serious breaches of international humanitarian law and the introduction of law
This Master Thesis contains the first stages of the development process of a system to study human gait presenting a final concepts. Moreover, the Master Thesis covers the vibration analysis of a real prototype based on the concepts presented. For the development of this project, there were almost no restrictions or guidelines. Hence, it was necessary a previous process of investigation and re
Image-based rendering for view synthesis is a field within computer vision that has seen a growing number of research activity within the past few years, much due to deep learning techniques emerging, allowing researchers to re-format view synthesis as a learning problem. The multiplane image (MPI) is a recently proposed learning-based layered 3D representation, created from one or a few input ima
With the growing adoption of data analytics and powerful algorithms in organisational decision-making, the ethical concerns surrounding algorithmic bias have become increasingly apparent. This research aims to explore the extent to which organisational characteristics (e.g., laws, policies, norms, and standards) and technology characteristics (e.g., transparency, user control, and auditability) ad
