Background: The wrist region is one of the most complex joints of the human body. It is prone to deformity and functional impairment in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and is difficult to examine clinically. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ultrasonography (US) with Doppler in diagnosis of synovitis, guidance of steroid injections, and follow-up examinations of the wrist in J
Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is the biggest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. While it is known to transport cholesterol to neurons the localization of the protein has not yet fully been mapped. Levels of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its cleavage product amyloid beta (Aβ), the main component of amyloid plaques, in transfected cells were determined using western blot. Green fluoresce
Forskningen kring psykedelier och dess effekter på välmående och vid behandling av psykiska åkommor har under senare år ökat markant. Den kvantitativa forskningen har varit dominerande men den kvalitativa forskningen börjar komma ikapp. En kvalitativ meta-analys kom fram till fyra teman med tillhörande underteman: (1) upplevelsens fenomenologi; (2) perspektiv på behandlingen; (3) terapeutiska procThe research on psychedelics and their effects on well-being and as a treatment for mental illness is growing fast. The research has been mostly quantitative, but qualitative efforts are catching up. One qualitative meta-analysis synthesized four themes and their associated subthemes: (1) phenomenology of the experience; (2) perspectives on the intervention; (3) therapeutic processes and (4) outco
Previous research has suggested there is a tipping point for ethnic tolerance. Once the tipping point is reached the group threat mechanisms outweigh those of increased intergroup contact. Due to the significant changes in the last decade, the ongoing 2015 European Refugee Crisis, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to revisit previous research to gain a better understanding if the
The Public Health Agency of Sweden are reporting negative statistics regarding the mental health of the LGBTQ-community. The Swedish National Agency for Education has therefore tasked all Swedish teachers and schools to implement a more inclusive way of processing questions regarding the LGBTQ-community in their ways of educating. The aim of this study is therefore to scrutinize teachers' own

Motivation: Proteomics is the large-scale study of all the proteins found in a cell, tissue or organism. In the last few years, and thanks to the development of mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, proteomics has led the research in several fields, ranging from medicine to agriculture. In order to reconstruct the amino acid sequence de novo protein sequencing can be used. It uses the protein’s mo
Stora sektorsövergripande samverkansprojekt har blivit på modet vad gäller att komma tillrätta med ökad segregation inom svenska förorter. För att åstadkomma långsiktig systemförändring förespråkas en omvandling från projektbaserade arbetssätt till strategisk samverkan där förortssituationen möts i hela sin komplexitet. Dessa så kallade wicked problems, som karakteriseras av problemställningar utaCross sector collaborations with multiple stakeholders are on the rise when it comes to dealing with segregation in Swedish suburbs. To achieve long-term systemic change, project-based interventions are slowly giving way to joint initiatives of a more strategic character, which target the situation of the suburbs in all of their complexity. These so-called wicked problems, characterized by problem
Aggression är ett utåtagerande beteende som orsakar skada och lidande världen över. Disinhibition antas spela en central roll i alla former av utåtagerande beteenden. Studier på aggression har funnit ett samband mellan empati och aggression men inga tidigare studier har undersökt om empati modererar sambandet mellan disinhibition och aggression. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka relationen Aggression is an externalizing behaviour that causes harm and suffering across the globe. Disinhibition is believed to play a central role in all forms of externalizing behaviours. Studies on aggression have found a link between empathy and aggression, however to our knowledge no previous studies have investigated whether empathy moderates the link between disinhibition and aggression. The purpose
Second homes, or summer cottages, are widely spread all over Finland. It is estimated that half of the country´s population have an access to one or several second homes. The phenomenon constitutes a remarkable part of how Finns spend their leisure time. Whereas traditional way of life attracts middle aged and retired urban dwellers to return to their roots, increasing number of second home users

The investigated catalysts are used in a homogeneous reaction. In this study I have used chemical methods for the synthesis of the catalytic materials, a number of different techniques for the characterization of the catal
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Effekter av förorenat vatten på grödor Sötvatten är en allt mer begränsad råvara och snabbt växande befolkningar i länder med begränsande vattenresurser är speciella problemområden. Egypten är ett sådant land, vars enda källa till sötvatten är Nilen. Egyptens befolkning var 21 miljoner 1950 och beräknas kunna vara 129 miljoner 2050. Alla dessa människor behöveAbstract The Bahr El-Baqar drain is considered one of the most contaminated waters in Egypt, and along the drain the farmers use its water for irrigation. This study aimed to investigate effects of this irrigation water on crops, with special focus on metal contaminants, using wheat (Triticum sp) as model species. Also, protective effects (against heavy metal poisoning) of adding mycorrhiza form
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Kullstorlek och förmågan att hålla värme Direkt efter kläckning har de flesta fågelungar svårt att hålla en jämn kroppstemperatur (termoreglera) i en kallare omgivning. Förmågan att termoreglera uppkommer eller utvecklas någon gång under ungarnas första tid i livet och snart är de mer eller mindre jämnvarma. Förmågan att hålla en jämn kroppstemperatur tidigt iAbstract Most birds are not capable of maintaining core body temperature when exposed to cold ambient temperatures directly after hatching. As postnatal development continues the thermoregulatory capacity begins to form, and eventually nestlings become homeothermic. Many factors, such as predation, latitude and foraging mode, may influence this development of homeothermy, but to my knowledge no s
The purpose of our paper was to examine how these unaccompanied teenagers were integrated and countered by the Swedish authorities based on the teenager´s perspective. To carry out our study, we have focused on male teenagers who were previously resident in a temporary home for unaccompanied refugee teens. We conducted a qualitative interview with four teenagers and we asked questions about their
Metal contamination of lakes can bring negative effects to aquatic biota, and to the general health of the ecosystem. Urban discharge is a known source of common metals. In cold regions, snow disposal sites further enhances the risk of contaminating recipient lakes, due to accumulation of pollutants. The importance of this source is poorly known and is further investigated in this study. Metal con
