Bedwetting, also known as enuresis, is the second most common chronic health problem among children and negatively affects their daily lives. A first-line treatment option for enuresis is alarm treatment that awakens the child upon urination. This treatment has been further developed by the company Pjama AB that, in addition to the alarm, offers a mobile application where users provides data regar
The aim of this study was to understand and explain which social and structural risk factors are behind young people choosing to commit criminal acts, in order to increase awareness of the problem. The method that was selected in this study was a qualitative method based on autobiographies and biographies. Four different autobiographies were used as empirical evidence and the analysis of the autob
By modeling of an enzymatic reaction for pharmaceutical production it is possible to get a better understand the mechanism of the enzymatic reaction, and to find an optimal condition for the process step. The enzyme in question is enteropeptidase that cleaves proteins by hy-drolysis. Enteropeptidase can cleave at many different cleaving sites, if the amino acid Argi-nine or Lysine is at the first
In this thesis I examine how the aggressive fracking-debate in the Canadian Province New Brunswick from 2010 onwards, and how the three participating actors (the fracking-critical Native Canadian group Elsipogtog First Nation, the non-native fracking-critical group New Brunswick Anti-Shale Gas Alliance (NBASGA) and the fossil fuel company Southwestern Energy Resources Canada) view nature in differ
In this paper, we study the effect of raising the fee for non-attendance on non-attendance rates in health care from a Swedish perspective. We do this by using a difference in difference design and exploiting a natural experiment in Sweden, where one county increased non-attendance fee to the double and the other county had a constant fee. Data on individual level allows us to investigate a genera
The aims of this study were to (a) use two automated methods to measure immigration sentiment expressed on Twitter, (b) examine how sentiment changed during the period August 2015 - December 2015, and (c) use 1st person plural pronouns and 1st person singular pronouns as indicators of social and individualistic identity and examine how they moderated sentiment change. All Swedish tweets posted bet
Abstract Problem: While it has been extensively studied which personal characteristics enhance entrepreneurial learning from failure, the mechanisms of how those characteristics contribute to entrepreneurial learning process has not yet been fully understood. Aim: Through a comprehensive model, this research aims to explore how different personal characteristics influence the different stages o
Abstract: Since 9/11 a lot of attention has been paid to fragile states and state failure has also become an issue for the EU. EU elites frequently refer to the EU as a ‘force for good in the world’. There is an extensive academic debate about what kind of power the EU is in world politics, and whether it can be described as a distinct normative power. In this comparative study of ten fragile stat
This study introduces a protocol for healthcare team performance assessments, based on cognitive systems engineering and the contextual control model (COCOM). The protocol was developed by Palmqvist et al. focusing on team's joint level of control. This is contrasted by present means for team assessments, which are based on individual behavioural ratings. Data is analysed in intervals, and thr
Ornamental horticultural plants in domestic gardens can constitute a substantial dispersal pool of potentially invasive species. Understanding garden owners' preferences when selecting plants, their awareness of dispersal pathways and how they manage their gardens is critical for effective invasive species control. This study used a survey to investigate Swedish garden owners' (n = 743) plant seleOrnamental horticultural plants in domestic gardens can constitute a substantial dispersal pool of potentially invasive species.

The workplace is an important part of many people's lives. Many transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals have negative experiences of their workplace due to discrimination and cisnormativity. Whether or not to be open about TGD experiences, and the degree of openness, is something many TGD individuals struggle with at work. Openness is related to well-being and job satisfaction and is ther
The complexity and dynamicity of microservice architectures in cloud environments present substantial challenges to the reliability and availability of the services built on these architectures. Therefore, effective anomaly detection is crucial to prevent impending failures and resolve them promptly.

ObjectiveTo investigate associations between postural orientation errors (POEs) in patients undergoing rehabilitation for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) at 2-year follow-up.DesignProspective cohort study.MethodsFifty-three participants (mean (SD) 27 (6.5) years, 24 women), (mean (range) 7 (4–10) months post ACLR) were included. At baseline, a
Aims: The role of resection remains debated in cases of metastatic gastric carcinoma (mGC). Some mGCs are technically resectable. At the population level, the real-world application of resection for mGC remains largely unclear in most Western countries. This large, population-based international investigation aimed to reveal the resection patterns and trends for mGC and the treatment-associated fa
Global urbanisation reduces greenery and species richness (biodiversity) and limits opportunities for most children to gain experiences of nature. Disconnecting children from nature has implications for their play, health, well-being, and comprehension of ecological systems, as well as their engagement with the environment as adults.In the competition for land for built infrastructure, the preserv
This paper explores how pedagogical beliefs are challenged in everyday encounters, particularly when someone in an educational relationship acts unexpectedly. Following Donna Haraway’s notion of tentacular thinking (2016), I examine my relationship with Lyra, a reactive dog, as a site where prior experiences, emotions, and social expectations intertwine. The analysis sits at the intersection of so
