COVID-19 and lockdown strategies may affect mental health and addictive behavior differently in the population, and elite athletes are among the professions clearly affected by the pandemic. This study in top elite athletes aimed to study current perceived psychological influence from COVID-19 and symptoms of depression, anxiety and changes in alcohol drinking, gambling behavior and problem gambli

The 2018 drought was one of the worst European droughts of the twenty-first century in terms of its severity, extent and duration. The effects of the drought could be seen in a reduction in harvest yields in parts of Europe, as well as an unprecedented browning of vegetation in summer. Here, we quantify the effect of the drought on net ecosystem exchange (NEE) using five independent regional atmos

The construction industry is known to hold a quite low innovation level compared to many other industries. Along with the technical development, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has entered the industry in some of today’s large and complex construction projects. BIM is an intelligent 3D-model based process used for creating and managing building projects. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is

Objectives. During the past decade, the position of biologics in the therapeutic armamentarium, the number of approved indications and the number of available biologics have changed. Available data on (long-term) safety might thus pertain to patient populations not comparable with contemporary patients. The aim of this study was to assess the extent to which contemporary patients who start or swit

There is a trend in urban planning to redevelop industrial areas within cities into new modern residential districts. Considering sustainability goals and heritage conservation, many of these areas are often redeveloped through partial material reuse or full adaptive reuse of buildings. The thesis aims to uncover the actors, networks and processes in the redevelopment and planning processes to und

I samband med teknologins framsteg och intåget av artificiell intelligens (AI) möter idag upphovsrätten flertalet utmaningar. Genom korta instruktioner och några få knapptryck kan vem som helst utnyttja teknikens kreativa möjligheter för att framstå som fantastiska konstnärer. I nuläget saknas däremot tydliga riktlinjer i gällande rätt för hanteringen av upphovsrättens digitala gränsland. För upphIn the context of technological advancements and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), copyright is currently facing numerous challenges. With just a few instructions and a couple of button presses, individuals can leverage the creative potential of technology to present themselves as outstanding artists. However, there is currently a lack of clear guidelines in existing law for managing the d

I uppsatsen utreds hur intresseavvägningen mellan personlig integritet och brottsbekämpning, i form av kamerabevakning med ansiktsigenkänning, ser ut. För att ta reda på detta har uppsatsen utrett vad ansiktsigenkänningsteknologin är, vad integritet är och hur den regleras, samt hur en begränsning av den personliga integriteten får göras enligt lag. Personlig integritet är ett inte helt definieraThe essay explores the balancing of interests between personal privacy and crime prevention, specifically focusing on surveillance with facial recognition technology. To investigate this, the essay examines what facial recognition technology is, the concept of privacy and its regulation, as well as how limitations on personal privacy can be legally justified. Personal privacy is a somewhat undefi

På senare tid har regeringen genomfört kriminalpolitiska reformer i syfte att bekämpa den grova och organiserade brottsligheten. Flera av lagförslagen har kritiserats av bland annat utredningsväsendet vars syfte är att säkerställa rättsväsendets kvalité och kvalitetssäkra nya lagförslag. Syftet med uppsatsen är att ge läsaren en fördjupad förståelse för utredningsväsendets funktion och undersöka

Rättssäkerhet är en grundläggande förutsättning för ett fungerande samhälle. För att öka enskildas förtroende till staten krävs det att individen skyddas mot godtycklig rättstillämpning. Genom att garantera medborgarnas likhet inför lagen och lagars förutsebarhet ökar rättssäkerheten. Dessvärre korrelerar inte alltid rättssäkerheten med tillämpning av Sveriges lagar. Lagen (2014:307) om straff för

Aim: To increase survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA), great efforts are made to improve the number of voluntary first responders (VFR). However, evidence of the potential utility of such efforts is sparse, especially in rural areas. Therefore, the aim was to describe and compare response times for emergency medical services (EMS), fire and rescue services (FRS), and VFR during OHCA

In Alzheimer’s disease, reconfiguration and deterioration of tissue microstructure occur before substantial degeneration become evident. We explored the diffusion properties of both water, a ubiquitous marker measured by diffusion MRI, and N-acetyl-aspartate, a neuronal metabolite probed by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy, for investigating cortical microstructural changes downs

Purpose: As social infrastructures, public libraries are increasingly recognised as providing more than access to books and information; librarians’ work is importantly centred around practices of care. However, the ways in which they provide care is poorly researched, let alone conceptualised. This paper explores how this important part of librarians’ daily work is practiced through the lens of i

Given the proven benefits of screening to reduce diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) likelihood at the time of stage 3 type 1 diabetes diagnosis, and emerging availability of therapy to delay disease progression, type 1 diabetes screening programs are being increasingly emphasized. Once broadly implemented, screening initiatives will identify significant numbers of islet autoantibody-positive (IAb+) child
