By 2050, electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to be 40% of all cars on the road1. In some countries like Norway, more than 90% of the new cars sold are electric2. This rise in EVs presents challenges to the current electricity infrastructure to meet this rapid increase in electricity demand. In this study, we simulate urban residential electricity demand using an agent-based model to investigate t
Objective: Foetal growth restriction (FGR) affects 10% of pregnancies, contributing to 30% of stillbirths. Current management of early-onset FGR (< 32 + 0 weeks' gestation) delivers the foetus before stillbirth or irreversible organ damage. The resulting preterm births create additional risks independent of FGR. We determined the economic cost associated with severe early-onset FGR. Design: Econom
Observational studies suggest that direct contact from healthcare to at-risk relatives may increase genetic counselling (GC) uptake as compared to family-mediated risk disclosure, but randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are lacking. This study assessed whether the offer of direct letters to relatives at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) or Lynch syndrome increases GC uptake compa
The very high spin behaviour of nuclei with ∼ 10 particles outside the 146Gd core are studied. Our method of calculation, which is based on the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky formalism, makes possible to follow individual configurations as functions of spin. We concentrate on 158Er and 154Dy which nuclei become oblate with rotation around the symmetry axes for I = 40-50. It is found that most such obl
Aims: The main aim of the present study was to identify factors influencing health-related quality of life (HRQoL), as measured by EQ-5D-5L, in individuals 1 year after the acute phase of COVID-19.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 75 participants (51% females), 1 year after confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (76% hospitalised). Associations between HRQoL, measured by patient-reported outcom
Under senare år har en växande oro över att allt yngre barn misstänks för grov brottslighet drivit fram en kriminalpolitisk agenda och lagstiftningsreformer som successivt minskar skillnaderna mellan barn och vuxna i det svenska straffsystemet. År 2023 reformerades bevistaleinstitutet, genom vilket en domstol kan pröva om ett barn under 15 år har begått en brottslig gärning utan att någon påföljd In recent years, growing concern over increasingly younger children being suspected of serious offences has driven a criminal policy agenda and legislative reforms that gradually reduce the differences between children and adults within the Swedish criminal justice system. In 2023, the evidentiary proceedings, through which a court may determine whether a child under the age of 15 has committed a
I dagens Sverige aktualiseras allt oftare frågan om hur straffrätten ska förhålla sig till allvarlig brottslighet som begås av barn och unga. Det är inte ovanligt att barn under straffbarhetsåldern involveras i kriminalitet, vilket har gett upphov till en kriminalpolitisk debatt om barns straffrättsliga ansvar. En mindre uppmärksammad aspekt i denna diskussion rör emellertid vilket ansvar vuxna i In contemporary Sweden, questions increasingly arise as to how criminal law should respond to serious crimes committed by children. It is not uncommon for minors below the age of criminal responsibility to be drawn into criminal activity, a development that has given rise to an extensive criminal policy debate concerning children’s criminal liability. A less examined aspect of this debate, however
I svensk straffrätt är alla medborgare föremål för åtal även om individen lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning. Åtalade som lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning kan få rättspsykiatrisk vård som påföljd. Rättspsykiatrisk vård är en tidsobestämd påföljd som inte kan kombineras med ett fängelsestraff. Vården kan förenas med en så kallad särskild utskrivningsprövning om det finns risk för att persIn Swedish penal law all defendants can be prosecuted even if they suffer from a serious mental disorder. These defendants can be sentenced to forensic psychiatric care for an indefinite time. In today’s system there are no possibilities to combine psychiatric care with prison as a penalty. The psychiatric care can be combined with a special discharge review that enables the convicted’s sentence t
Lojalitet är ett begrepp som har funnits sedan urminnes tider, såväl från en moralisk synpunkt som en juridisk. Redan under romarriket fanns det krav på lojalitet gentemot huvudmän av differentierade slag. Vidare, under människo historiens utveckling, har lojalitet kontinuerligt spelat en central roll. Moti veringen, till ovan nämnda, är behovet av att samhället upprätthåller grund läggande etisThe principle of loyalty has existed since ancient times, both from a moral perspective as well as a judicial one. As early as the Roman Empire, the public imposed demands on loyalty to various types of principles. As different soci eties evolved at their own pace and in their own direction, loyalty continued to play a role in contractual relationships. This was based on the understand ing that
Många svenskar upplever just nu en ekonomiskt ansträngd situation. Att ha privatekonomiska problem har i tidigare forskning visat sig ha kopplingar till psykisk ohälsa och suicidalt beteende. Mot denna bakgrund är det angeläget att vidare undersöka de faktorer som är associerade med privatekonomiska problem. Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka om finansiell förmåga, psykisk ohälsa,Many Swedish people are living under the weight of a financially precarious situation. Previous research has illuminated the steep cost of experiencing financial difficulties, finding relationships to psychological distress and even suicidal behaviors. Against this background, it is important to further examine the economic and psychological factors associated with financial difficulties. The pres
Exponering är en av de mest empiriskt validerade behandlingsmetoderna inom kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) och har visat sig vara effektiv vid flera ångestrelaterade tillstånd. Trots detta visar forskning att metoden ofta möter motstånd bland terapeuter, vilket kan bidra till en underanvändning i praktiken. Det är oklart i vilken utsträckning ett sådant motstånd finns bland psykologstudenter. SyftetExposure is one of the most empirically validated treatment methods within cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and is effective in treating several types of anxiety. Despite this, research shows that the method often faces resistance among therapists, contributing to underutilization in clinical practice. It is unclear to what extent this resistance exists among psychology students. This explorati
The interest of implementing automated production has grown over the years in the industry of manufacturing. Replacing manual tasks with automated solutions has several advantages, such as improved efficiency, increased safety and better quality standards. Alfa Laval raised the challenge to find an automated solution for a currently manual process. The master thesis addresses the problem with the
Värmepumpar spelar en central roll i omställningen till ett mer hållbart och energieffektivt samhälle. En värmepump utnyttjar energin som lagras i luft, vatten och mark för att värma våra hem med betydligt lägre klimatpåverkan än traditionella uppvärmningsmetoder. Utöver kärnfunktionen, ytterligare funktioner kan tilläggas genom att förse värmepumpen med extra moduler, såsom en extern styrmodul, sThis master’s thesis investigated the development of a new enclosure for an external module used to extend the functionality of heat pumps manufactured by NIBE. The current enclosure is a purchased standard enclosure that fulfils its function but is not optimized for NIBE’s specified requirements. It requires additional completion in term of steel mounting plate which increases the cost, weight, a
Bakgrund: I Sverige insjuknar årligen omkring 900 barn i typ 1-diabetes, en diagnos som innebär en omfattande livsomställning för hela familjen. Tidigare forskning visar att föräldrar ofta befinner sig i kris vid diagnos och har stort behov av både emotionellt och praktiskt stöd. Det är därför viktigt att belysa hur vården upplevs ur föräldrarnas perspektiv. Syfte: Att belysa föräldrars upplevels
Plastföroreningar är ett av dagens största miljöproblem. Även om många biologiskt nedbrytbara plaster har utvecklats för att minska denna påverkan, bryts de inte alltid ned effektivt i verkliga miljöer. En av de mest använda biologiskt nedbrytbara plasterna är PLA (polylaktid), som ofta förekommer i förpackningar, 3D-utskrifter och engångsartiklar. Trots att PLA är märkt som biologiskt nedbrytbartIntroduction: Biodegradable plastics such as polylactic acid (PLA) are increasingly used as sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics, yet their degradation in natural environments remains inefficient. Background: Although enzymes such as cutinases can hydrolyse ester bonds in PLA, their behaviour in the presence of PLA nanoparticles and potential inhibitory effects are not well understood
We identify managers' meta-level talk about the positive purpose, meaning, and significance of their actions as an overlooked type of leadership behaviour and call it leadership meta-talk. We outline why leadership meta-talk is not necessarily truthful or deceptive, but selective and loosely coupled with leadership practice. We discuss varieties of leadership meta-talk, namely aspirational, sub-te
Introduction: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with cognitive impairment, including verbal memory. Limited knowledge exists following memory performance in first episode (FE) MDD. This study investigated verbal memory, depressive symptoms, and relapse in FE MDD over five years, from the trait, state, and scar perspectives. These perspectives suggests that deficits in memory either pre

Methods: This study was a part of the Global Hidradenitis Suppurativa Atlas (GHiSA) initiative. The study was multicentered and included apparently healthy adults accompanying a patient to the Department
Orangelaven Caloplaca raesaenenii hade bara samlats och artbestämts vid ett tidigare tillfälle i Sverige innan den uppmärksammades häromåret i ett sandmarksreservat vid Åhus i nordöstra Skåne. I denna artikel beskrivs förekomsten på den aktuella lokalen. Dessutom sammanfattas utbredning, ekologi och substratval utomlands, och möjligheten att hitta den på fler ställen i landet samt hot mot de aktue
Wind energy is an increasingly viable solution for sustainable power generation, particularly in developing regions with high wind potential. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the wind power and energy output estimation for the Sela Dingay wind farm, a candidate site in Ethiopia. The study utilizes measured wind speed data at 50 meters and interpolates it to different hub heights (91
