Physical exercise affects hippocampal structure and function, but the underlying neural mechanisms and the effects of exercise intensity remain incompletely understood. Therefore, we undertook a comprehensive, multi-modal 3T and 7T MRI randomized controlled trial (Netherlands Trial Register - NL5847) in which we randomized 52 young, non-athletic volunteers to a 12-week low- or high-intensity exerc
BACKGROUND: Prolonged second stage of labor increases the risk of insufficient gas exchange over the placenta to the fetus and risk of birth asphyxia. There are considerable variations in clinical guidelines regarding the recommended duration of pushing during the active second stage of labor. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the total duration of the second stage of labor and its as
Using Laclau’s and Mouffe’s discourse theory, this thesis examines how the discursive formation of ”immigrants” as a group has developed in the Swedish party leader debates of 2013 and 2017. During these years the number of immigrants had a record year and the conversation and politics on immigration changed drastically in Sweden. This thesis is used to find out if the discourse on the conversatio
The widespread consequences of climate change are becoming more and more evident around the world and are raising crucial awareness to world leaders that a sustainable transition is direly needed to mitigate against disastrous climatic events. In Australia, in early 2020, these events took the form of some of the most devastating and largest forest fires the country has ever seen. This devastation
Healthcare is one of the largest and most essential industries in the world. eHealth systems, which includes information systems in healthcare, provides opportunity to monitor and administrate patients. The purpose of eHealth systems, for instance electronic medical records, is to decrease administrative workload and improve healthcare. However, previous research shows a lot of time spent in the s
Water scarcity can have severe implications for society; endangering human health and food security whilst also exacerbating social conflict around the world. These issues are exemplified in the case of the Ferghana Valley in Central Asia, where much of the valley suffers from water scarcity and conflicts despite having adequate water sources. This scarcity is primarily due to how water is used, m
Stemflow water acidifies the soil in beech stands impacted by atmospheric deposition. To investigate whether the soil recovers from acidification, stemflow was experimentally removed. A horizon material was sampled at a distance of 10-250 cm From the stems. Before the onset of the experiment, there were stemflow-induced gradients in the saturation of exchange sites with K+, H+ and Na+ that were la
In 1990, a joint Nordic-Russian project was initiated in order to make independent estimations of the effective dose to selected groups of inhabitants in a highly contaminated area around the city of Novozybkov In the western Bryansk region of Russia. The inhabitants were living in six villages with initial contamination levels of Cs-137 between 0.9 and 2.7 MBq m(-2). Some villages had been decont
Little is known about provision of medical services to adolescents prior to participating in international top-level sports. This study aimed to investigate experiences of medical service provision among high-level adolescent athletics (track and field) athletes from three continents. A thematic narrative analysis was applied to data collected from 14 athletes by semi-structured interviews. Althou
Objective: To investigate changes in maternal ECG ST index, blood pressure (BP), cardiac left ventricular (LV) ejection function and vascular tone/stiffness in large and small arteries occurring during elective cesarean section (CS) in spinal anesthesia. Material and methods: Twenty-six women were monitored with photoplethysmographic digital pulse wave (PW) analysis (DPA) before and after spinal a
Achieving constitutional amendment has been a goal for the Japanese conservatives for a long time, especially after the Cold War, because Japan’s peace identity has been perceived increasingly “abnormal” by the conservative elites in Japan. It thus engendered the heated debates surrounding whether Japan should change its peace identity via controversial constitutional amendment, which conflicts ag
More and more people around the world are feeling stressed, and the consequences have become a global burden. At the same time, cities are growing both spatially and from within, creating competition for land which sometimes comes at the cost to our access to nature. Natural settings provide people with stress relief, and some of the feelings we perceive in nature are more efficient at this than o
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate if a CEO with finance and accounting working experiences would affect corporate hedging decisions, in terms of the decision to hedge, the extent of hedging, and the type of hedging tools used. This thesis uses panel data regressions where the hedge ratio, binary hedging decisions and hedging types are dependent variables, controlled by independent varia
The rapidly growing, global plastic production and the waste generated as an effect of this is associated with countless environmental problems. As this sector continues to expand, so will the problems. Further complicating is the fact that currently only a small proportion of plastic is being recycled or re-used. A majority of the recyclable plastic in the EU and in Sweden is instead being incine

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand what effects Perceived Brand Identity Fit of luxury fashion collaborations have on Brand Loyalty and ultimately Purchase Intention. Furthermore, Consumer-Brand Identification with the luxury brand is tested as a moderator towards these relationships. Main research question: What is the relationship between unconventional luxury fashion collabora
Green hydrogen is an advantageous clean energy carrier that enables the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors and addresses the intermittency of renewables. However, its global production is currently constrained by inadequate infrastructure, high investment risks, and relatively technological infancy. Failure to scale green hydrogen could hinder decarbonization efforts and climate goals. Recog
In the last 20 years more than 7,300 disaster events were recorded across the world. Global trends indicated that in 2019 over 79 million people were displaced worldwide, 45 million were internally displaced and there were 26 million refugees. The nature of disasters is increasingly complex, uncertain and long lasting and refugees represent a growing community often disproportionately affected by
