The elliptic and triangular flow coefficients v2 and v3 of prompt D0, D+, and D⁎+ mesons were measured at midrapidity (|y|<0.8) in Pb–Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN=5.02TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The D mesons were reconstructed via their hadronic decays in the transverse momentum interval 1
The study aimed to investigate socioeconomic factors in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and to evaluate their impact on outcome following open carpal tunnel release (OCTR). Data from the National Quality Register for Hand Surgery were combined with socioeconomic data (marital status, education level, earnings, migrant status, occupation, sick leave, unemployment, and social assistance)
People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience a gradual loss of functional abilities that affects all facets of their daily life. There is a lack of longitudinal studies on coping styles in relation to the disease progression among people with PD. The aim of this study was to explore how coping styles in PD evolve over a 3-year period. Data from the longitudinal project “Home and Health in Peopl
Fruit-feeding pteropodid bats roost under varying light conditions. Some roost in trees with high exposure to daylight (> 1000 lx), while others roost in dark caves (< 0.1 lx). To understand the effect of ambient light intensity and moon phase on flight activity, we examined flight times across five lunar cycles in three pteropodid species whose roosts differ in daylight exposure. We found signifi
Background: Therapeutic fluids used in intensive care can have profound effects on coagulation, not only by dilution itself but also by other more complicated interactions. The aim of this in vitro study was to monitor the extent of dilutive coagulopathy induced by the most common therapeutic fluids and to attempt normalization of haemostasis by fibrinogen addition. Methods: 8 patients were re
Background: HIV-1 and HIV-2 are two related viruses with distinct clinical outcomes, where HIV-1 is more pathogenic and transmissible than HIV-2. The pathogenesis of both infections is influenced by the dysregulation and deterioration of the adaptive immune system. However, their effects on the responsiveness of innate immunity are less well known. Here, we report on toll-like receptor (TLR) stimu
Embryonic neural tissue obtained from other species has been considered as a donor tissue source in repair strategies for human neurodegenerative disorders. The neuro- and immunobiology of distantly related species combinations, discordant xenografts, need to be characterised. For this purpose, a small animal model would be an important research tool. Adult guinea-pigs, and adult rats as controls,
Psychotropic pharmaceuticals present in the environment may impact organisms both directly and via interaction strengths with other organisms, including predators; therefore, this study examined the potential effects of pharmaceuticals on behavioral responses of fish to avian predators. Wild-caught juvenile perch (Perca fluviatilis) were assayed using a striking bird model after a seven-day exposu
Active avoidance of information is gaining attention in behavioral sciences, and recently also its’ relevance from an economic theory perspective. We explore motivations and policy implications of active avoidance of carbon emission information. In a stated preference survey respondents were asked to indicate if they wished to access carbon emission information (info-takers) or not (info-decliners
Objectives: To present hearing results after successful primary myringoplasty surgeries registered in the Swedish Quality Registry for Myringoplasty and to evaluate the chance of hearing improvement and the risk of hearing loss. Design: A retrospective nationwide cohort study based on prospectively collected registry data between 2002 and 2012. Settings: Registry data from secondary and tertiary h
Fear has been assigned a central role in models of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), but empirical investigations into the emotions that underpin OCD symptoms are few, especially in pediatric samples. Using validated, clinician-led structured interviews, 124 youth with OCD reported on the presence and severity of symptoms across the main symptom dimensions of OCD (aggressive, symmetry, contamin
Authors: Fanny Carlström - Lina Hansson Title: The collaboration within the transition of young offenders who serves a sentence at the closed institutional youth care (translated title). Supervisor: Anna Rypi The Swedish social service and the closed institutional youth care are obligated by law to cooperate during the execution of young offenders who serves a sentence at an institution. The aim
A business becoming more common in todays labour market is the one of consultants. The idea of consultants is that they come into a company as experts in order to solve a problem and when the problem is solved and the contract has expired they move on to another costumer/client. These are usually shorter persiods of time, which means that consultants are constantly looking for new assignments. The
The purpose of this study is to qualitatively investigate how mid-level managers from care of the elderly and compulsory school can handle the complex position in the middle of the organization. A position distinguished by unclear boundaries and demands from both superiors and subordinates. The study is based on qualitative interviews with four managers from care of the elderly and four principals
Authors: Amanda Haraldsson and Jennica Bjurman Title: From safety to freedom - entrepreneurship as a professionalization strategy among social workers [translated title] Supervisor: Karin Kullberg The aim of this study was to examine outcomes/results of Social Workers’ choice to commence working in private practice. We wanted to identify the advantages and disadvantages respondents believe exist
We chose to write this essay on how the social services were illustrated and how it was reviewed in the media after the two cases in the municipality of Mark and Sandviken. These cases were brought to attention by Uppdrag granskning, the Swedish TV program, in two different coverages. Moreover, we have emanating from articles, blogs, and chat room conversations and gathered what people have writte
All agencies that affect children, and the employees of these businesses, are required to report to social services if they suspect a child is being abused. Studies show that too few reports are made to social services regarding children being maltreated. 84% of children in Sweden are in preschool and it is therefore important that preschool teachers recognize if a child is being abused. According
The aim of this study was to examine which impact it has on young people to grow up and live in Landskrona and their views of their future in light of the negative image that exists of the city and its people in the media. To get a better understanding we also choose to highlight what the youths consider significant in their lives. There were eight young people in the age 18-20 who participated in

Human trafficking is a transnational phenomenon and it has been one of the most hotly debated issues in the development agenda for the last decade. This thesis focuses the attention on the phenomenon of women trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation and takes as a case study the Republic of Albania.
