We evaluated the clinical utility of the Swedish SCARED-R in child- and adolescent psychiatric outpatients (n = 239) and validated it against Longitudinal Expert All Data (LEAD) DSM IV diagnoses based on the Children’s Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (KSADS) and subsequent clinical work-up and treatment outcome. The SCARED-R total score and subscales had acceptable sensitivity/s
A quantitative methodology based on in-line UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy and on-line evaporative light scattering detection for supercritical fluid extraction is proposed. The method was applied to the extraction of carotenoids, chlorophyll A, ergosterol and total lipids from microalgae. One regression technique and two curve resolution techniques were applied on the absorption spectroscopy data
Ovarian cancer develops due to a complex interplay between hereditary and environmental factors. Although often described as one disease, ovarian cancer is actually a group of distinct tumor types. Recent research has indicated that a large percentage of ovarian cancers may originate from the fallopian tube epithelium. Although most cancers develop in patients without a known hereditary syndrome,
There was a substantial trade in furs throughout the medieval period, as indicated by a number of written sources. The archaeological evidence for this trade is, however, scant. The discovery of furriers’ workshops depends to a significant extent on the large-scale sieving of soil samples, since most bones from fur-bearing species are small. As large-scale sieving for small bones is not often unde
Circadian rhythms are physiological and behavioural cycles generated by an endogenous biological clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus. The circadian system influences the majority of physiological processes, including sleep-wake homeostasis. Impaired sleep and alertness are common symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders, and circadian dysfunction might exacerbate the disease process. The pathophysio
Tunneling Field-Effect Transistors (TFET) are one of the most promising candidates for future low-power CMOS applications including mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) products. A vertical gate-all-around (VGAA) architecture with a core shell (C-S) structure is the leading contender to meet CMOS footprint requirements while simultaneously delivering high current drive for high performance specific
The term “network society” is often discussed as the society of the future, with technological saturation, knowledge-based work, and network structure being its defining characteristics. The network society implies a world populated by engineers, global telecom companies, highly mobile workers, cultural diversity, spin-offs, high-tech clusters, and venture capital. Theoretical approaches and empir
Complex formation between Pd(II), Pt(II) and iodide has been studied at 25 °C for an aqueous 1.00 M perchloric acid medium. Measurements of the solubility of PdI2(s) in aqueous mercury(II) perchlorate and of AgI(s) and PdI2(s) in aqueous solutions of Pd2+(aq) and Ag+(aq) gave the solubility product of PdI2(s) as Kso=(7±3) × 10−32 M3, which is much smaller than previous literature values.The stabilComplex formation between Pd(II), Pt(II) and iodide has been studied at 25 °C for an aqueous 1.00 M perchloric acid medium.

The wish to see beyond the horizon of the human biological eye is one of the major driving forces in the development of medical imaging technology. This essay discusses the implications technology has on the ability to see, and consequently know, more about the body. Further, the potential of merging art, rehabilitation engineering and medicine to develop and use images specifically designed to cr
A previous study compared two student groups that played a mathematics game based on a teachable agent. One group played with, and the other without, the inclusion of a social conversation module: a chat between the student and the teachable agent. Results were that students who used the game with the chat included had a more positive experience of the game and learned more in the sense of teachin
This paper presents selected findings from the project 'Privatisation of public housing in Hanoi, the impacts on housing quality and social equality' which was financed by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA). The project analyses the consequences of privatisation on the housing conditions of those tenants and owners who live in privatised and partly privatised multi family apart
Modern devices often include several embedded instruments, such as BIST interfaces, sensors, calibration facilities. New standards, such as IEEE Std 1687, provide vehicles to access these instruments. In approaches based on reconfigurable scan networks (RSNs), instruments are coupled with scan registers, connected into chains and interleaved with reconfigurable modules. Such modules embed reconfig
Investigating the chemical homogeneity of stars born from the same molecular cloud at virtually the same time is very important for our understanding of the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium and with it the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. One major cause of inhomogeneities in the abundances of open clusters is stellar evolution of the cluster members. In this work, we investigate va
Abstract: Our aim is to study trends in mental ill-health and socioeconomic-related mental health inequalities over time in Sweden. We also make a first attempt at disentangling why we see such a development, by decomposing any changes in terms of changes in selected demographic and socioeconomic characteristics among the population. A secondary aim is to consider how different indicators for mentAbstract: Our aim is to study trends in mental ill-health and socioeconomic-related mental health inequalities over time in Sweden.

Substantial evidence now supports the hypothesis that the common ancestor of bats was nocturnal and capable of both powered flight and laryngeal echolocation. This scenario entails a parallel sensory and biomechanical transition from a nonvolant, vision-reliant mammal to one capable of sonar and flight. Here we consider anatomical constraints and opportunities that led to a sonar rather than visio
Abstract The barnacle, Stephanolepas muricata, a commensal epibiont of cheloniid sea turtles, occurs frequently on the sea turtles of the Golfo Dulce, Pacific Costa Rica. The aim of this study was to quantify the occurrence of S. muricata on green and hawksbill sea turtles, to describe its major attachment locations and to investigate potential routes for barnacle exposure. In-water sampling of s
In this thesis, the value of the two composed financial products (structured products), sprinters and auto-calls, are studied and compared to the European call option. The study is preformed using both analytical and numerical solutions, where the underlying is either said to follow a GBM-process (Geometric Brownian Motion) or a GARCH-process (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic
