In this thesis, the phonetics and the phonology of non-modal voice quality and other glottal features in Chichimeco (Oto-Manguean, Mexico) are described. For this investigation, I analysed recordings I made in Mexico in spring 2017 as well as recordings enclosed in Lastra (2009b, 2016). Descriptions of this language have been published since the 1930s but non-modal phonation has not received the
The number of people escaping from wars and conflicts to European welfare states is increasing. Many of them are children; some come as unaccompanied minors (UMs), fleeing without parents or any other responsible family member, entering and living in the country of refuge on their own. The “United Nations” (UN) and its “Convention on the Rights of the Child” from 1989 secures them special protecti
By employing seven semi-structured interviews with local judges and prosecutors in Kosovo, this study aims at examining how the European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX) has impacted the legal order in Kosovo and the practice of the judges and prosecutors. In addition, this study examines how the impacts of EULEX, and how the judges and prosecutors will be affected after the EULEX are withdrawn f
This study investigates volatility spillover between the prices of electricity at Nord Pool, carbon emission allowances in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and tradable green certificates (TGC) in the Swedish-Norwegian TGC market. ETS and TGC schemes are market-based policies with the overlapping goals of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and stimulating sustainable energy investments. A
This study utilises Correspondence Analysis to investigate the subsistence strategies of Scandinavia's Middle Neolithic Culture of the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC). The aim is to understand subsistence strategies' regional and local expressions across larger geographic areas. The studied material is derived from PWC settlements in Gotland, Åland, Central-Eastern Sweden, and South Scandinavia.
This study investigated how AI support timing impacts clinicians’ diagnostic accuracy and efficiency during simulated psychiatric assessment using TalkToAlba, a clinical conversational AI platform. Professionals with experience in mental health (N = 51) were randomized into three conditions: control/delayed (no initial AI), retroactive (AI post-interview), or proactive (AI pre- and post-interview)
Background and aim The paper is based on a study of hunting tourism enterprising in Sweden. The paper demonstrates how game meat is ascribed different, sometimes conflicting values in the moral economy of commercial hunting and identifies an emerging process of servitization of the game meat. Recreational hunting in Sweden can be described as embedded in two different but overlapping cultural and
This essay is about universalism in the welfare state of Sweden. The essay contains an evaluation regarding one of the social insurances which is the pension system. This paper analyzes how universalism has changed in the transition from old to the new Swedish elderly pension system. During the 1990s a new pension system was introduced which is why an evaluation is of interest. Through theories ab
The aim of the present study is to develop a mathematical model for evaluating therapeutic response of combined treatment modalities. The study was performed in rats of the Fischer-344 strain with rat glioma N32 or N29 tumors implanted subcutaneously on the thigh of the hind leg. Pulsed electric fields, PEF, with 16 exponentially decaying pulses with a maximum electric field strength of 140 V/mm a
This study investigates how early exposure to maternal mental distress shapes offspring’s long‐ term socioeconomic pathways by leveraging the 1970 British Cohort Study. Maternal distress was measured when the cohort members were aged 5, 10, and 16 years via the 24-item Malaise Inventory. Structural Equation Modeling is employed to estimate (1) the direct effect of maternal malaise on offspring’s a
Background: The study of thoracic injuries and biomechanics during CPR requires detailed studies that are very scarce. The role of the heart in CPR biomechanics has not been determined. This study aimed to determine the risk factors importance for serious ribcage damage due to CPR. Methods: Data were collected from a prospective registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between April 2014 and Apr
Background: Limited evidence exists for effect modification of genetic characteristics on the associations of food consumption and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). Objectives: We aimed to investigate whether the food-T2D association would vary by genetic susceptibility to metabolic traits. Methods: We analyzed data from 9542 incident T2D cases and a subcohort of 12,477 participants nested within th
Since the 1980s, financial deregulation and welfare cuts have driven an economic risk shift, requiring individuals to take greater financial responsibility through private savings in stocks and mutual funds. An unexplored aspect of this “financialization of everyday life” is the personal finance advice provided by experts employed by banks and other market-oriented actors. This study examines fina
The article investigates the reception of Carl Snoilsky’s Svenska bilder (Swedish Pictures) in Swedish schools, from the 1890s until today, in the light of the concept of cultural memory. For more than half a century, Snoilsky’s cycle of poems, depicting important events and figures in Sweden’s early modern history, belonged to the literary school canon; three special school editions were publishe
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis remains a leading infectious cause of death in resource-limited settings. Effective treatment is the cornerstone of tuberculosis control, reducing mortality, recurrence and transmission. Supporting treatment adherence through facility-based observations of medication taking can be costly to providers and patients. Digital adherence technologies (DATs) may facilitate treatm
PURPOSE: Absent lymph flow and chronic inflammationleads to excess subcutaneous adipose tissue deposition.Chronic non-pitting lymphedema does not respond to conservativetreatment or microsurgical procedures becausethey do not target the adipose tissue. Removing the adiposetissue using suction assisted lipectomy (SAL) seems thus tobe a logic treatment strategy.METHODS: Arms: 190 women, mean±SEM age
When the coronavirus spread globally in early 2020, many governments issued national lock downs of schools, institutions, and businesses. As the epidemic turned into a pandemic, the health crisis also became a societal crisis, and many universities and research foundations issued COVID-19 grants to study the societal implications of the crisis. In this article, we discuss sociological research dur
The article gives an insight into the dramaturgical tools that are applied in the site specific and participatory performance Island, that was performed in Hrísey, an island north off the coast of Iceland in 2020. The project is a part of the artistic PhD research How Little is Enough? Sustainable Methods of Performance for Transformative Encounters, at Malmö Theatre Academy, University of Lund, t
