Context. TOI-732 is an M dwarf hosting two transiting planets that are located on the two opposite sides of the radius valley. Inferring a reliable demographics for this type of systems is key to understanding their formation and evolution mechanisms. Aims. By doubling the number of available space-based observations and increasing the number of radial velocity (RV) measurements, we aim at refinin
This study investigates the relationship between outdoor life and the well-being and self-esteem of Swedish adolescents aged 12–15 years old (n = 320), residing in three different living environments in the south of Sweden. The study employed a questionnaire that was administered twice during a school year that included questions on time spent outdoors, environmental quality and the perceived bene
Both advocates and critics of deliberative theory have regarded power relations as problems for public deliberation. Three aspects—interests, ideology and status differences—have been thought to distort deliberative processes. This article discusses a growing body of case studies that indicate that these “problems” may actually, under certain conditions, help facilitate inclusion and equality in d
In a cross-sectional study adjusting for age, gender, and catchment area, the prevalence of thyroid antibodies was assessed in 51 consecutive subjects with biopsy-proven glomerulonephritis and in 112 control subjects admitted for extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy treatment for renal stones. Women with glomerulonephritis had both a significantly greater prevalence of thyroid peroxidase antibodi
The Autism – Tics, AD/HD, and other Comorbidities inventory (A-TAC) is a comprehensive interview for evaluating problems related to autism spectrum disorders (ASD), tic disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), and common comorbid conditions in children and adolescents. A-TAC telephone interviews were administered to parents of 2,957 children aged nine- or twelve-years, represen
In the drop volume method the surface of the drop enlarges throughout the process of the interfacial tension decay. This surface expansion has been measured for drops of various sizes and shapes, where the interfacial tension depression was caused by different proteins such as lysozyme, β-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin, sodium caseinate, whey protein concentrate and soy protein isolate at dif
I detta examensarbete undersöks rätten att bli glömd(RTBF), som finns i artikel 17 GDPR, och dess tillämpning inom ramen för artificiell intelligens (AI). Uppsatsen följer centrala juridiska och tekniska frågor om hur AI modeller som har tränats på personuppgifter behöver modifieras, helt omskolas eller kompletteras med säkerhetsåtgärder för att leva upp till raderings kravet i artikel 17(GDPR). F
This thesis explores the economic, social, and institutional impacts of privatization policies in Latin America, focusing on both short- and long-term effects across different periods. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative analysis with qualitative insights, the study assesses key indicators such as GDP growth, inflation, inequality, foreign direct investment (FDI), and polit
This thesis investigates affective and semantic meaning-making in online audiovisual propaganda published by the Danish nationalist youth organization, Generation Identitær. Specifically, the study uses the notion of affective investments and relations in order to account for the ways in which the organization’s propaganda operates. It follows a feminist and postcolonial tradition and centers the
The self-screening error in the GW approximation is studied by applying correction schemes beyond the random-phase approximation in model and ab inito calculations. Two model systems in the form of Hubbard dimers, with one and two orbitals per site respectively, are considered. Both the self-screening (GW-ss) and self-polarization (GW-sp) correction schemes are compared to ordinary GW calculations
Like many other West African countries, The Gambia faces challenges regarding discrimination based on descent, which relates to the inherited disadvantage of being born into a specific group (RADDHO & IDSN, 2012). This sociological case study has the analytical purpose of discussing the case of social stratification and descent-based discrimination in the Fulani village of Nokuta in The Gambia
This thesis explores the legal, ethical, and human rights challenges posed by emerging neurotechnologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven neural implants within the European Union. It critically assesses the adequacy of current EU regulatory frameworks, specifically the General Data Protection Regulation, the Artificial Intelligence Act, and the Medical Device Regulation in addressing the u
Amid overlapping global crises, many individuals experience psychological distress, anxiety, hopelessness, and a diminished sense of agency. Scholars increasingly argue that this erosion of perceived significance may be as consequential as climate change, biodiversity loss, polarization, and political turmoil, as it stems from a growing disconnection or alienation from self, others, and nature at
Diversity, equity, and inclusion have become an important part of justice work in today’s society. Nevertheless, many non-profits still fail to diversify. While previous research has examined methods for an organization to successfully diversify, there has been a distinct lack of research on how these methods play out in an intersectional manner. This study aims to better understand these processe
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the techniques that scammers and scambaiters use in phone conversations to deceive each other and accomplish their respective goals. Seeing how the number of people losing money to scams continues to rise every year, there is an urgent need for more research to raise awareness of common scam tactics. It is also highly sociologically relevant to gain an
Abstract Background: Lactobacillus species are the most often found inhabitants of vaginal ecosystem of fertile women. In postmenopausal women with low oestrogen levels, Lactobacillus flora is diminishing or absent. However, no studies have been performed to investigate the correlation between oestrogen levels and the lactobacilli in the gut. The aim of the present study was to investigate the rel
Cell migration is the first step of the invasive process, which is part of the malignant phenotype, and the uPA receptor (uPAR) plays a central role in cell migration. We studied the role of EGF and estrogen on cell migration and uPAR expression in ovarian cancer cell lines. We also analyzed the diagnostic and prognostic value of cleaved forms of the uPAR in plasma from patients with ovarian tumor
