School-related functional impairment is common in children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, little is known about the characteristics of youth with OCD who struggle in school, whether these struggles interfere with treatment outcomes, and whether treatment improves school-related function. Among 385 youth with OCD at a specialist clinic (mean age [sd] = 13.7 [2.5]
Background: The Catquest-9SF questionnaire is a patient reported outcome measure that quantifies the visual benefits from cataract surgery. The purpose of this study was to translate and adapt the Catquest-9SF questionnaire for France, to assess its psychometric properties via Rasch analysis, and to assess its validity when completed using an electronic notepad. Methods: The Catquest-9SF questionn
Children's participation in economic activities has been documented as an inseparable part of the family support network in childhood studies. Children as an integral part of the parents' world contribute to enhanced social experiences, the continuity of the societal system, and the holistic well-being of the family. In the pro- baby global south children are political, economic, cultural, and soc
Purpose: Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors have unique psychological needs and require tailored support, as they transition from hospital settings following cancer treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of the online "Recapture Life" program to improve AYA aged survivors' psychological adjustment in early cancer survivorship.

Panel for Pollen Conference in Lund 2024Exploring transitions for marine environmental governance: the potential of communities and bottom-up processes as alternative pathways to sustainabilityFacilitating the potential of communities and bottom-up governance for transitions to sustainability (T2S) sparks key questions of political ecology. Marine environmental governance exposes such challenges r
Background People living with serious respiratory illness experience a high burden of distressing symptoms. Although opioids are prescribed for symptom management, they generate adverse events, and their benefits are unclear. Methods We examined the efficacy and safety of opioids for symptom management in people with serious respiratory illness. Embase, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Central Register of
Education reduces the intergenerational transfer of poverty and boosts growth according to the Social Investment (SI) approach (Morel, Palier, and Palme 2011). However, educational systems differ in their capacity to promote equality and produce the skills needed in today‘s knowledge economies. Despite extensive scholarship on how education policies vary in terms of their social and economic effec
This study builds on analyses of everyday professional practices to explore de-bordering and re-bordering processes in the field of gender-based violence (GBV). The concepts of de-bordering and re-bordering practices express the tensions arising from the conflictual roles taken on by civil society actors (CSAs) in their double vest of service delivery for the state and advocate for migrant women w
We study the realizability and strong satisfiability problems for SAFETY LTL, a syntactic fragment of Linear Temporal Logic ([Formula presented]) capturing safe formulas. While it is well-known that realizability for this fragment lies in [Formula presented], the best-known lower bound is [Formula presented]-hardness. Surprisingly, closing this gap has proven an elusive task. Previous works have c
Introduction: Altered biomechanics, increased joint loading and tissue damage, might be related in a vicious cycle within the development of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). We have defined biomechanical factors as joint-related factors that interact with the forces, moments and kinematics in and around a synovial joint. Although a number of studies and systematic reviews have been performed to assess t
This chapter is about digital advocacy and civil society in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Social media has often been discussed as a game-changer when it comes to advocacy. The technical structures of social media are continuously changing and, therefore, so are the conditions for digital advocacy. Extensive research has focused on different digital advocacy strategies. However, there h
Background: Negative affective processes may contribute to maintenance of paranoia in patients with psychosis, and vice versa. Successful treatment may break these pathological symptom networks. This study examined whether treatment with virtual reality based cognitive behavioral therapy (VR-CBT) for paranoia influences momentary affective states, and whether VR-CBT changes the adverse interplay b
This essay delves into the akiya (vacant houses) problem in Japan, using the phenomenon as a lens to discuss the larger issue of depopulation and repopulation of regional Japan. It builds on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Kochi Prefecture from February to April, 2023, where semi-structured interviews were conducted with official workers and local residents of depopulated areas. The study find
The intervention Balancing Everyday Life™ (BEL) helps service users achieve a balance among everyday activities and enhance personal recovery. BEL builds upon research for people with mental illness and on evidence from earlier activity-based interventions. This methodological paper presents the theoretical basis for BEL, which rests on five pillars of theories and models. Further, the BEL topics
The field of high energy physics (HEPs) has seen a marked increase in the use of machine learning (ML) techniques in recent years. The proliferation of applications has revolutionised many aspects of the data processing pipeline at collider experiments including the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this whitepaper, we discuss the increasingly crucial role that ML plays in real-time analysis (RTA) a
Boreal forests play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle and currently act as an important carbon sink. At the same time, these forests are increasingly affected by intensive forest management and a changing disturbance regime driven by climate change. Clear-cutting has been the dominant harvesting method in managed boreal forests, while wildfire, although rare over the last century in Sweden
INTRODUCTION: Genetic deficiency of factor XI is associated with a reduced risk of ischemic stroke. Asundexian is a direct inhibitor of activated factor XIa (FXIa) with a low risk of bleeding in early trials. We seek to determine its efficacy and safety combined with antiplatelet therapy for prevention of ischemic stroke. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Oral faCtor Eleven A iNhibitor asundexian as novel ant
