Objective. To describe the change of pain reports over time in 3 cohorts derived from the general population: (1) no chronic pain (NCP, n = 1156); (2) chronic regional pain (CRP n = 502) and (3) chronic widespread pain (CWP; n = 242). To identify risk factors that predict the development or persistence of chronic widespread pain. Methods. A 3-year followup from 1995 to 1998 with postal questionnai

The self-assembly of the trifluoroacetate salt of the short peptide (ala)(6)-lys (A(6)K) in water has been investigated by cryo-transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering. For concentrations below ca. 12%, the peptide does not self-assemble but forms a molecularly dispersed solution. Above this critical concentration, however, A(6)K self-assembles into several-micrometer-lon

Ansträngningsutlöst andningsfunktionsstörning drabbar främst barn och ungdomar, oftast i samband med idrottsutövning och är vanligare bland flickor än pojkar. Mekanismerna bakom besvären är komplexa och inte helt klarlagda. Enhetliga rutiner för omhändertagandet finns inte. Syftet med uppsatsen var att kartlägga och utvärdera omhändertagandet av personer med dessa besvär vid Röst- och TalvårdsavdeExercise-induced respiratory dysfunction affects mostly children and young people, usually during athletic performance, and is more common among girls than boys. The mechanisms of the disorder are complex and not fully understood. Uniform clinical procedures for examination and treatment of these patients are not established. The purpose of this paper was to identify and evaluate the present care

Den svenska missbruks- och narkotikamodellen bygger på en restriktiv straffrättslig kontroll med ett narkotikafritt samhälle som mål. Trots detta har Sverige idag högst narkotikarelaterad dödlighet i Europa. Portugal använder istället en modell där skademinimering är centralt och förvärv och innehav avsett för eget bruk samt eget bruk är avkriminaliserat. I dagsläget verkar också Norge ta in på etThe Swedish drug control strategy is based on restrictive criminal law where the goal is a society free from illicit drugs. However, today Sweden has the highest drug-related mortality in Europe. Countries like Portugal use a different model where harm reduction is central and acquisitions, personal possession and consumption are decriminalized. Norway is also taking an interest in switching to a

När är en bild barnpornografisk? Frågan kan utredas rättsdogmatiskt, men också empiriskt genom att domstolarnas prövningar av misstänkt barnpornografiska bilder undersöks. Det är inte självklart att de olika utredningsmetoderna ger samstämmiga svar; domare dömer inte nödvändigtvis på ett sätt som överensstämmer med gällande rätt. I den här undersökningen jämfördes innebörden av barnpornografi enliWhen does an image constitute child pornography? The issue can be investigated with a legal dogmatic method, but also with an empirically method and by examining the courts' trials regarding suspected child pornographic material. It is not obvious that the different methods of investigation provide consistent answers; judges do not necessarily decide in a manner consistent with applicable law.

Transformativt ledarskap är en av de mest inflytelserika teorierna inom ledarskapsforskning idag och dess fördelar har blivit uppmärksammade från flertalet perspektiv. Syftet med följande studie var att undersöka relationen mellan personlighetsdrag i HEXACO-modellen, en utmanare till den etablerade femfaktormodellen, och uppskattandet av transformativ ledarskapsstil. Datan samlades in genom en intTransformational leadership is one of the most influential theories in leadership research today and its benefits have been highlighted from several perspectives. The purpose of the following study was to examine the relationship between personality traits in the HEXACO model, a contender to the established five-factor model, and the appreciation of transformational leadership style. The data was

Companies always strives to acheive as eective inventory control as possible. At the same time, a suciently high delivery accuracy to satisfy the customer is pursued. One prerequisite for successfully accomplishing this is to anticipate customer demand in advance. An approximation of the demand in advance is called forecasting. Forecasting implies that dierent techniques are used to predict future

Försäkringsbolag behöver identifiera och hantera en stor mängd potentiellt bedrägliga försäkringsanspråk från deras kunder. Därför har försäkringsbolag en rad system för att försöka identifiera vilka anspråk som är bedrägliga och vilka som inte är det. Med den senaste utvecklingen inom maskininlärning och särskilt inom området för språkbehandling (NLP) kan dessa tekniker eventuellt användas för atMachine-Learning can sometimes see things we as humans can not. In this thesis we evaluated three different Natural Language Procces-techniques: BERT, word2vec and linguistic analysis (UDPipe), on their performance in detecting insurance fraud based on transcribed audio from phone calls (referred to as audio data) and written text (referred to as text-form data), related to insurance claims. We al

Trots att exponering- och responsprevention (ERP) är en effektiv behandling för patienter med tvångssyndrom (eng: obsessive-compulsive disorder; OCD), blir inte alla hjälpta. Medan många författare har intresserat sig för demografiska och kliniska faktorers betydelse för behandlingsutfall, är det få studier som har undersökt hur processer som uppstår under behandling (t.ex. förändring i motivationExposure and response prevention (ERP) is an effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but not everyone benefits. While many authors have explored the contribution of demographic and clinical factors in relation to treatment outcome, few studies have investigated how processes that occur during the course of treatment (e.g., changes in motivation) relate to treatment outcome.

Isoprene is a highly reactive volatile organic compound emitted by vegetation, known to be a precursor of secondary organic aerosols and to enhance tropospheric ozone formation under polluted conditions. Isoprene emissions respond strongly to changes in meteorological parameters such as temperature and solar radiation. In addition, the increasing CO2 concentration has a dual effect, as it causes b

PURPOSE: multiple myeloma is considered an incurable hematologic cancer but a subset of patients can achieve long-term remissions and survival. The present study examines the clinical features of long-term survival as it correlates to depth of disease response. PATIENTS & METHODS: this was a multi-institutional, international, retrospective analysis of high-dose melphalan-autologous stem cell
