Structured Abstract Background Sexual health and functioning are significant, yet often overlooked, components of psychosocial well-being of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). Prior research reports inconsistent findings, limited data on older adults with CHD, and few studies have compared patients with controls from the general population. This study investigated sexual functioning in m
We consider two optimization problems in which a planner aims to influence the average transient opinion in the Friedkin-Johnsen dynamics on a network by intervening on the agents' innate opinions. Solving these problems requires full network knowledge, which is often not available because of the cost involved in collecting this information or due to privacy considerations. For this reason, we foc
This international, multidisciplinary consensus report represents the first effort to systematically define and characterize fatty pancreas. A key outcome of this endeavor was the recommendation to adopt "fatty pancreas" as the standardized and inclusive term to describe all forms of fat accumulation in the pancreas. This terminological consensus provides a critical foundation for unified reportin
Children undergoing surgery for posterior fossa tumours (PFT) may experience postoperative language and communication difficulties, regardless of whether they develop cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) or not. While these language difficulties are increasingly recognised in current research, children’s own experiences of everyday communication remain limited. In this presentation, we share findings
This chapter reviews the imaging findings of different non-infectious inflammatory diseases that affect the central nervous system, with special emphasis on demyelinating disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Special sections are also dedicated to inflammatory vascular disorders and to metabolic and toxic conditions that affect the ad
Förtätning av städer med en hög andel hårdgjorda ytor i kombination med klimatförändringarna gör urbana miljöer särskilt sårbara. Hållbar dagvattenhantering kan bidra till att öka klimatresiliensen i städerna, samtidigt som de genererar flera mervärden. Vilket gör de särskilt lämpliga i städerna där tillgången till mark är en begränsad resurs. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att tillvarata på inUrban densification with a high proportion of impervious surfaces, in combination with climate change, makes urban environments particularly vulnerable. Sustainable stormwater management can contribute to increasing climate resilience in cities, while also generating multiple added values. This makes such solutions particularly suitable in cities where access to land is a limited resource. The pur
In this thesis we study extensions of the classical Sylow theory from finite groups to the class of locally finite groups. To this end we present theorems from P. Hall as an introduction to π-groups in finite groups and theorems from A. O. Asar and B. Hartley to introduce Sylow theory in locally finite groups. We then conclude the thesis with touching on more well-behaved groups (for example solub
We review groups acting on rooted trees and discuss their topological and measure-theoretic structure as compact topological groups using the theory of profinite groups and Haar measures. We introduce new notions of fractal-like structures for groups acting on rooted trees: shifted fractality and shifted super strong fractality, as generalisations of fractality and super strong fractality. These n
Previous research on cardiometabolic risk has mostly used a variable-centred approach, assessing risk factors separately or in predefined combinations. This study used a probabilistic modelling approach to identify distinct cardiometabolic risk classes and estimate the predicted prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis. The analysis included 28,307 middle-aged adults from the Swedish CArdioPulmon
In the Hebrew Bible and related literature, the Jerusalem temple(s) served as the dwelling place of the deity and a focal point for human-divine relations and ritual life. Ancient Jewish literature documents the temple’s sacred architecture, rituals, and social practices in great detail, providing a foundation for Jewish engagement with temple aesthetics over millennia. Today, a diverse and growin
Developing individualized spatial models that capture the complex dynamics of multi-electrode EEG data is essential for accurately decoding global neural activity. A widely used approach is network modeling, where electrodes are represented as nodes. A key challenge lies in defining the network edges and weights, as precise connectivity estimation is critical for enhancing neural characterization
The contact urticaria syndrome (CUS) shows four stages of severity. It is a syndrome that initially involves the skin but also the respiratory or the gastrointestinal tract once it has manifested systemically. It is potentially a life-threatening syndrome. Immediate contact skin reactions (ICSR) induced by environmental agents are clinical manifestations of contact urticaria (CoU) and protein cont
Ammonia/diesel dual-fuel compression-ignition engines are a promising solution for reducing carbon emissions in marine applications, yet their combustion efficiency and nitrogen-related emissions remain major challenges. In this study, combined numerical simulations and experiments were performed to investigate combustion characteristics and emissions in a two-stroke, low-speed ammonia/diesel dire
