INTRODUCTION: Gambling harm is a widespread phenomenon affecting an increasing number of individuals. Understanding the concept of self-control is central to comprehending the nature of gambling problems.METHODS: Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with ten individuals recruited through peer support associations in Sweden. The data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological

This study explores narratives about gambling problems and experiences of "rock bottom" through interviews with ten participants. The analysis generated three main themes. In A bumpy road-Plunging toward "rock bottom," participants described hitting "rock bottom" as something to avoid or being dragged there by self-hatred or dedication. In A split existence-Being at the "rock bottom," the experi

Background: Developmental exposures to neurotoxic insecticides, as pyrethroids and chlorpyrifos are of growing concern. Objective: To study associations between low prenatal and childhood exposure to pyrethroids and chlorpyrifos and motor skills at age 7. Materials and methods: Data consisted of sub-samples of women and children from the Odense Child Cohort; 883 mother-child pairs with maternal ur

Background: Tattoo inks are mixtures of organic and inorganic color pigments and having a tattoo may be adversely associated with biomarkers of male fecundity. Objective: To examine the association between tattoo exposure and biomarkers of male fecundity. Methods: Participants were young adult Danish males (aged 18–21 years) sampled from the Danish National Birth Cohort. Upon recruitment in 2017–2

Den 14 februari 2025 hölls vid Juridiska fakulteten vid Lunds universitet en konferens på temat kompetensfördelningen mellan allmän domstol och allmän förvaltningsdomstol. Konferensen arrangerades av Nätverket för förvaltningsprocessrätt och Lunds universitet. Som talare medverkare domare verksamma inom rättskipningen i Sverige och Finland samt forskare. Bland åhörarna fanns företrädare för rättsk

Episodic memories are not static - they shift and reshape as our surroundings evolve. One powerful mechanism for change are prediction errors, which arise when predictions about what is going to happen next do not match the actual input. This study investigated how the size of prediction errors - arising from predictions based on episodic memories - affects recognition memory and neural memory rep

Avhandlingen bidrar med kunskap inom fältet tidiga interventioner och tidigasamordnade insatser, i synnerhet inom skolsocialt arbete. I en systematisköversikt undersöks vilka studier som utförts av videofeedbackinterventioner(VF) mellan 1990 och 2014 och om de haft önskad effekt. I likhet med tidigareforskning visar den att VF kan påverka föräldrars och pedagogers samspel medbarn i positiv riktninThe dissertation concerns video feedback interventions (VF) aimed at interactions between parents, teachers and children, more specifically children who display disruptive behaviour problems (DBP) in school. To counteract early social exclusion, the dissertation emphasises the importance of fostering change processes, where parents and teachers in preschool and school play a significant role in su

The authors, Gigi Argyropoulou, Ethel Baraona and Lisa Maillard, Elke Krasny and Svetlana Milevska, were invited to write new texts attempting to revisit the concept of care and its discontents. In their texts, they reflect upon understandings of the fundamental role of care, in relation to contradictions of social cohesion and social emancipation, while issues such as the Global South, feminism,

The way in which the large-scale cosmic environment affects galactic properties is not yet understood. Dark matter haloes, which embed galaxies, initially evolve following linear theory. Their subsequent evolution is driven by non-linear structure formation in the halo region and in its outer environment. In this work, we present the first study where we explicitly control the linear part of the e

Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is often the first clinical manifestation. Currently, the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is based on the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction (MI), with different subtypes based on their pathophysiological background. While type 1 myocardial infarct

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the effects of training to increase parental participation in the care of infants in neonatal units, compared to no training or a different type of training.

Controllable hydrogen generation rate of Al-Ga-based on-site hydrogen supply materials significantly impacts their practical application. In many scenarios, the hydrolysis reaction occurs at elevated temperatures, which is a factor often overlooked in its effect on reaction kinetics. This study investigates the relationship between grain size and reaction rate in Al-Ga-based alloys for hydrogen ge

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of the INveStigating ProblEmatic Clinical Trials in Systematic Reviews (INSPECT-SR) project is to develop a tool to identify problematic RCTs in systematic reviews. In stage 1 of the project, a list of potential trustworthiness checks was created. The checks on this list must be evaluated to determine which should be included in the INSPECT-SR tool.METHODS: We at

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the effects of higher − compared with standard − initial doses of surfactant in high-risk preterm infants and preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Risk of bias (RoB) assessment is an essential part of systematic reviews that requires reading and understanding each eligible trial and RoB tools. RoB assessment is subject to human error and is time-consuming. Machine learning-based tools have been developed to automate RoB assessment using simple models trained on limited corpuses.
