Various studies have claimed that the sense of agency is based on a comparison between an internal estimate of an action’s outcome and sensory feedback. With respect to speech, this presumes that speakers have a stable prearticulatory representation of their own speech. However, recent research suggests that the sense of agency is flexible and thus in some contexts we may feel like we produced spe
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) give rise to all types of blood lineages, including red blood cells (RBC). Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) are known to be functionally diverse in terms of their self-renewal potential and lineage output. Consequently, investigation of molecular heterogeneity in the differentiation potential of HSPC is vital to identify novel regulators that affect generat
This chapter contains an overview of general policies regarding student housing in Sweden, a desription of market conditions for students renting a room or an apartment, and the legal framework regulating student housing in Sweden, including the rental contract.
BACKGROUND/AIM: Inflammation is a hallmark of cancer, and the role of neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in cancer and cancer-associated thrombosis has attracted a lot of interest. The NET-specific marker H3Cit has been found to be elevated in the plasma of patients with malignancies, suggesting NETs markers as novel cancer biomarkers. This study aimed to determine the levels of
Sb-based semiconductors are critical p-channel materials for III-V complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, while the performance of Sb-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is typically inhibited by the low quality of the channel to gate dielectric interface, which leads to poor gate modulation. In this study, we achieve improved electrostatics of ve
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), metal-backed (MBT) and all-polyethylene (APT) designs have shown comparable implant migration up to 2 years postoperatively using radiostereometric analysis (RSA). However, studies comparing mid-term migration of both designs are lacking. Furthermore, continuously migrating TKAs up to 2 years may continue to migrate or stabilize thereafter.
Virtual Reality has long been proposed to combine the reliability of controlled laboratory settings with the ecological validity of real life. While the technological development steadily pushes towards even more realistic renderings of the real world— the elusiveness of social and emotional elements gradually becomes more evident. This is not the least true for behavioral studies in rich sociocul
While the current research mainly deals with the Palestinian youth in the Middle East, reports from various organisations, whose most accounts are descriptive, hardly provide a sustained and critical evaluation of their nature and impact. With an urgent need to understand better youth engagement in exile under adverse conditions in a conflict-ridden society such as the Palestinian one, this paper
Background: Young people's daily lives and social interactions changed remarkably during the COVID-19 pandemic as schools and cinemas closed, leisure activities were cancelled, and gatherings were regulated. Questions have been raised by the media, schools, policy makers, and research communities about the effect on young people's online behaviors. Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to st
Internet of Things or IoT deployments are becoming more and more common. The list of use-cases for IoT is getting longer and longer, but some examples are smart home appliances and wireless sensor networks. When IoT devices are deployed and used over an extended time, it is not guaranteed that one owner will control the IoT devices over their entire lifetime. If the ownership of an IoT system shal
Artificial intelligence through machine learning is increasingly used in the digital society. Solutions based on machine learning bring both great opportunities, thus coined “Software 2.0,” but also great challenges for the engineering community to tackle. Due to the experimental approach used by data scientists when developing machine learning models, agility is an essential characteristic. In th
We exploit a large historical shock to the Danish labour market to provide evidence of how restrictions on labour mobility increase monopsony power and thereby reduce wages. By severely limiting the possibility of the rural population to work beyond their place of birth, the reintroduction of serfdom in 1733 aimed to increase monopsony power and secure cheaper labour in the countryside. Using a un
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children. Studies of the immunopathogenesis in JIA has mainly focused on the adaptive immune system, while less is known of the role of the monocytes. JIA is considered a chronic disease, although only about 50% of participants in long-term follow-up studies have active disease as adults. The treatment arsenal for JIA has
Environmental disasters, and especially floods, are among today's biggest sustainability challenges. The number and intensity of floods are increasing, challenging current governance approaches. Governments worldwide are looking to diversify their flood risk management and adaptation strategies, among others, by increasing resident involvement in flood risk governance. Such involvement of individu
IntroductionChildren affected by Paediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) cannot consume enough nourishment by mouth. PFD is highly prevalent and can affect the child's growth and development as well as family life.AimTo illuminate Swedish parents’ experiences of living with a child with PFD.MethodSemi-structured interviews via telephone or video calls were conducted with 14 purposefully recruited mother
Although established forms of peer review are often criticized for being slow, secretive, and even unfair, they are repeatedly mentioned by academics as the most important indicator of quality in scholarly publishing. In many countries, the peer review of books is a less codified practice than that of journal articles or conference papers, and the processes and actors involved are far from uniform
Background: To pursue high quality research, successful participant recruitment is essential, but recruitment rates are often low. This is specifically true in target populations with impairments, for instance, among stroke survivors. Previous studies focusing on recruitment have mainly relied on information from professionals, and there is therefore a need to contribute with new methodological in
