This chapter explores performances of emotion regulation through a dramaturgical lens, focusing on occupations with high performative demands. While reviewing research and theorizing on performance, we point to key intersections between sociological studies on emotion management and psychological studies on emotion regulation. First, we focus on the scaffolding of performance, how the script and t
Access is the process of establishing rapport with a field containing different phases without an articulated end. Qualitative research often involves studying people in their social setting, documenting action, and meaning making in relation to the field in which it occurs through ethnographic methods such as observations, shadowing, and interviews. Gaining permission to a site or a specific grou
Data-driven methods provide great potential for future applications in engineering, for example in terms of more efficient simulations. Conventional material models and the associated constitutive equations are substituted by a minimization of a distance between so-called material and mechanical states, which, however, leads to non-unique solutions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the influenc
This chapter analyses humour from an emotion sociological perspective, linking humour to power, status, and group solidarity. It draws from about 300 observed trials and interviews with 43 judges and 41 prosecutors from four Swedish districts courts. Humour is sometimes skilfully used as a strategy to ease tension, relieve boredom or to reprimand. It is initiated/allowed by the judge, but high-staThis chapter analyses humour from an emotion sociological perspective, linking humour to power, status, and group solidarity.

Understanding damage mechanisms and quantifying damage is important in order to optimise structures and to increase their reliability. To achieve this goal, experimental- and simulation-based techniques are to be combined. Different methods exist for the analysis of damage phenomena such as fracture mechanics, phase field models, cohesive zone formulations and continuum damage modelling. Assuming
Bakgrund: Ett mått på följsamhet till paleolitisk kost som inte baseras på populationsrelativa intag av livsmedelsgrupper har hittills saknats. Syftet med denna avhandling var att utvärdera användbarheten av Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF), ett nytt mått på följsamhet till paleolitisk kost, beräknat som andelen av det totala intaget av livsmedelsgrupper som utgörs av paleolitiska livsmedelsgrupperAbstract: Background: A measure of adherence to the Paleolithic diet not based on population-relative food group intakes was lacking. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the usefulness of the Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF), a novel measure of adherence to the Paleolithic diet, calculated as the fraction of total food group intake derived from Paleolithic food groups. Methods: PDF was calculate
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
Freight transportation security concerns both public and private sector institutions, yet their interests are often misaligned, resulting in tensions and trade-offs between performance criteria. Previous research overlooks the connection of public and private interests and provides a fragmented view of the institutions that impact operational conditions and performance within freight transportatioFreight transportation security concerns both public and private sector institutions, yet their interests are often misaligned, resulting in tensions and trade-offs between performance criteria.

Aims: CT acquisition parameters and reconstruction techniques may affect the accuracy of calcium scoring measurements with a potential impact on clinical decision making. We evaluated the agreement of half- versus standard-dose protocols for assessment of aortic valve (AVCS HD and AVCS SD protocols) and coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS HD and CACS SD protocols) with and without the applicatio
Centenarians exhibit remarkable disease resilience despite chronic low-grade inflammation. We investigated the inflammation-related proteome response to acute exercise in seven centenarians (100–104 years). Exercise downregulated 52 proteins (e.g., TNF, IL10, IL1RN, CCL family members) involved in immune cell trafficking, apoptosis, and cytokine regulation. Even at the extreme end of the lifespan,
The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) throughout the perioperative phase of lung transplantation requires nuanced planning and execution by an integrated team of multidisciplinary experts. To date, no multidisciplinary consensus document has examined the perioperative considerations of how to best manage these patients. To address this challenge, this perioperative utilization of ECLS in l
The concept of early vascular aging (EVA) was introduced to identify adults at risk of developing premature cardiovascular disease. EVA, or the dissociation between chronologic and biologic age of large arteries, is an evolving concept. In this review, we propose that EVA in youth characterizes the early life biological and environmental risk factors that precede overt EVA. During early infancy, c
It is now well established that there is a reciprocal relationship between the content of literature and societal norms. Within feminist criticism, this has been highlighted as problematic, as women are often not portrayed fairly. In this essay, I will examine the relationship between literature and society by comparing the 19th-century Medieval novels Ivanhoe (1819) by Sir Walter Scott and The Wh
