The aim of this qualitative study was to examine how four different women’s shelters talk about what happens to a woman after she has left a relationship where there has been domestic abuse. This was achieved by taking part of the different women’s shelters narratives on domestic abuse and their work through semi- structured interviews. This study focuses on how the different women’s shelters talk
This paper examines discursive and performative strategies used by four feminist grassroot organizations in their struggle for free abortion in Chile. With the aim to analyse how the organizations articulate their political vision, I discuss different ways in which they challenge current criminalization on abortion. The empirical data was collected from the organization’s social media platforms an
Objectives To assess the long-term effects on weight reduction and health of a group-based behavioral weight intervention over six months focusing eating for fulfillment as compared to a control regime with brief intervention. Method Overweight or obese adults (n = 176, 80% female, mean BMI 33.8 ± 4.7 kg/m2, mean age 55.2 ±10.1 years) were randomized to a group treatment or control receiving a bri
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1 inhibitor protein (C1-INH) deficiency was recently shown to be associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). This is the first national family study of HAE with the aim to determine the familial risk of VTE. The Swedish Multi-Generation Register was linked to the Swedish National Patient Register during the period 1964-2018. Only HAE patients
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The severity of the atherosclerotic burden is hardly quantifiable in subjects at high cardiovascular (CV) risk under intensive pharmacological therapy. Several molecules have been proposed as circulating biomarkers of atherosclerosis, but none has emerged as clinically meaningful.METHODS: Circulating proteins involved in inflammation, plaque remodeling, smooth muscle cell migr
Increased blood lipid levels are heritable risk factors of cardiovascular disease with varied prevalence worldwide owing to different dietary patterns and medication use1. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, in particular through reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels2, heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide3. Genome-wideassociation studies (GWAS) of bloo
BACKGROUND: Counting very low levels of leukocytes is technically challenging but mandatory for quality control of leukocyte-depleted plasma. Established assays, such as flow cytometry and counting in the Nageotte chamber, are laborious and expensive. The aim of this study was to test two alternative assays, the cerebrospinal fluid program in the routine hematology analyzer ADVIA 2120 and a fluore
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate psychometric properties of newly developed hand and wrist proprioception tests.DESIGN: Cross-sectional and test-retest comparisons.SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Twenty-six individuals (mean age 40 years) with wrist disability (> 3 months) due to traumatic injury or general instability.METHODS: Pointing acuity (with eyes open and closed), active joint position sense (in extension, flexi
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are frequently comorbid and are individually associated with increased risk of suicidal behavior. However, whether their comorbidity exacerbates this risk has not been adequately investigated. Methods: Using a Swedish birth cohort (born 1970–1990; N = 799,203–858,983), we employed Aalen’s linear hazards models to evalu
A search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in scattering of same-sign W boson pairs in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV at the LHC is reported. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS detector during 2015–2018. The search is performed in final states including a same-sign ee or eμ pair and at least two jets with large invariant mass and a large
Background and aimMany patients with depressive disorders do not improve with first-line treatment with selective serotonin inhibitors (SSRIs). Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common. However, there are no reliable methods to predict treatment response.The general aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of peripheral serotonin and the polymorphic CYP2D6 gene as potential biomarkers of tre
This chapter examines how people associate various sex work activities with the exchange of sexual services for payment. It considers both in-person activities, such as sexual intercourse, oral sex, erotic massage, and dancing, as well as remote, digitally mediated activities like webcamming and the production of pornographic videos and photos. Drawing on an original US survey of adults (n = 1,024
Three searches for the direct production of τ-sleptons or charginos and neutralinos in final states with at least two hadronically decaying τ-leptons are presented. For chargino and neutralino production, decays via intermediate τ-sleptons or W and h bosons are considered. The analysis uses a dataset of pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1, recorded with the ATLAS de
Abstract Author: Emma Borgvall Title: To be a good girl – a qualitative study on the image of the hymen and its importance for the social control of young women's sexuality [translated title] Supervisor: Annika Capelán Köhler Assessor: Tove Harnett The aim of this study has been to explore how the social construction of the hymen is revealed in the social work with young girls and with thei
The aim of this thesis is to present experiences and lessons learned from the initial implementation process of the rating system STARS at Washington University in St. Louis: mainly the strengths/opportunities can be used to overcome the weaknesses/threats that the STARS implementation may entail. Strengths and opportunities such as increased student involvement in processes such as assessing sust
The longitudinal and multidisciplinary research project Malmö Youth Sport Study measured the sports results achieved by two cohorts of pupils using a variable named ACHIEVE, dividing the pupils into three categories (an elite group competing at the national or international level, a group competing at the district level, and a third group either not competing at all or below district level). This
Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a severe complication in terms of disability, morbidity, and cost. We performed a study to investigate whether early PJI (within 90 days of primary TKA) is associated with increased mortality. Secondary aims were to compare mortality rates over time and between surgical treatment methods. Methods: Patients
Purpose: We aimed to analyze the risk of cardiomyopathies (CMPs) among first-generation and second-generation immigrants. Methods: All individuals aged 18 years of age and older, n = 6,123,661 in the first-generation study, and n = 4,587,764 in the second-generation study were analyzed. CMP was defined as at least one registered diagnosis in the National Patient Register between January 1, 1998 an
