Given the increase in electricity prices in recent years due to two reasons; the rebound effect after the initial corona outbreak and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the burden of paying the rising monthly expense for electricity has become an unwelcome reality for a significant part of society. The electricity trades on the open market called Nord Pool for the Nordic countries, among others, whe
Syftet med den aktuella studien var att, utifrån en kritisk realistisk ansats, undersöka hur män upplever, förstår och reglerar sina känslor, såväl intrapsykiskt som i en interpersonell kontext. Ett särskilt fokus riktades mot socialiseringsprocesser av känslor under uppväxten, och på hur detta idag inverkar på männens känslomässiga förhållningssätt. Studiens design var mixad och utgjordes av en eThe aim of the present study, which was informed by a critical realist approach, was to investigate how men experience, understand and regulate their emotions, both intrapsychically and in interpersonal contexts. A specific aim was to shed light on the socialization of emotions during adolescence, and on how this today is affecting men’s emotional attitudes. The study's design was mixed and in
Aims/hypothesis The aims of this project was to investigate the effect of glucolipotoxic treatment on DNA methylation and gene expression patterns in pancreatic islets and functionally test if and how these changes alter insulin secretion. Methods Genome-wide mRNA expression and DNA methylation patterns were analyzed in human pancreatic islets after control or glucolipotoxic treatment. Alterations
Både den svenska och den norska lagstiftningen präglas av en strävan att få föräldrar att nå enighet i frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Denna strävan grundar sig i att en samförståndslösning mellan föräldrarna, i större utsträckning än ett domstolsavgörande, antas vara till barnets bästa. I Norge är det därför obligatoriskt med medling för alla föräldrar med barn under 16 år innan de kan väcBoth Swedish and Norwegian legislation is characterized by an effort to get parents to reach consensual agreement, in matters of custody, residence and contact. This strive is based on the fact that a consensual solution between the parents, to a greater extent than a court decision, is assumed to be in the best interest of the child. In Norway, mediation is therefore mandatory for all parents wit
Objective: To develop and initially test a new questionnaire to be used to investigate former ICU patients physical and psychosocial needs/problems and if it change over time. Design: A questionnaire was developed based on the Likert scale. The items were generated from literature search and from personal experiences of follow up visit. SF 12 was used to assess the questionnaires concurrent validi
This study investigates Swedish critical entities (CEs) ability to maintain function during up to three months of electricity supply disruptions. It also examines possible improvement measures, and how contextual cases (grey zone, heightened state of alert, war) influence CEs’ ability to maintain function during electricity supply disruptions. Expert elicitation was conducted with experts from eig
This study examines the implementation of Signs of Safety in cases involving youths who have been recruited into, or are at risk of recruitment into, gang-related criminality. The study is based on qualitative interviews with eight social workers from different units of social service within a municipality in Skåne län, all of whom have at least two years of experience working with youths involved
BACKGROUND: The glabellar flap is a common technique for surgical repair after tumor excision in the medial canthal area. However, the outcome may be affected by partial flap necrosis. Little is known about the impact of surgery on blood perfusion and the postoperative course of reperfusion due to the absence of reliable and noninvasive perfusion monitoring techniques. The aim of this study was to
While much of the literature on complex global environments builds on studies of multinationals from mature markets, little is known about how firms from emerging markets understand and cope with complexity. This paper builds on a longitudinal case study of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (ZGH) in the post-acquisition process of Volvo Car Group (VCG) and its efforts to learn how to learn in order to
Introduction: It might in the future be valuable to screen for increased maternal arterial stiffness, i.e. low compliance, since it is associated with development of hypertensive complications in pregnancy. Digital pulse wave analysis (DPA) is an easy and manageable method for arterial stiffness assessment. We aimed to investigate gestational influence on DPA variables longitudinally, and establis
Background Clinical experience indicates that patients declining participation in randomised clinical trials (RCTs) at the time of surgery are older, less healthy and of lower social status than patients accepting to participate, compromising the external validity of the RCT and bringing the non-participants in higher risk at surgery. To our knowledge, no studies exist on patients with hazardous
INTRODUCTION: The EUROpean Bone Over 40 Sarcoma Study (EURO-B.O.S.S.) was the first prospective international study for patients 41-65 years old with high-grade bone sarcoma treated with an intensive chemotherapy regimen derived from protocols for younger patients with high-grade skeletal osteosarcoma.METHODS: Chemotherapy based on doxorubicin, cisplatin, ifosfamide, and methotrexate was suggested
Certain kidney diseases are associated with complement activation although a renal triggering factor has not been identified. Here we demonstrated that renin, a kidney-specific enzyme, cleaves C3 into C3b and C3a, in a manner identical to the C3 convertase. Cleavage was specifically blocked by the renin inhibitor aliskiren. Renin-mediated C3 cleavage and its inhibition by aliskiren also occurred i
Various benthic mapping methods exist but financing and technical capacity limit the choice of technology available to developing states to aid with natural resource management. Therefore, we assessed the efficacy of using a single-beam echosounder (SBES), satellite images (GeoEye-1 and WorldView-2) and different image (pixel-based Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC), and an objectbased image anal
Massive multiple-input-multiple-output has proven to deliver improvements in both spectral and transmitted energy efficiency. However, these improvements come at the cost of critical design challenges for the hardware implementation due to the huge amount of data that has to be processed immediately, especially the storage of large channel state information (CSI) matrices. This paper presents an o
Rather than maximizing intake of available macronutrients, insects increase intake of some nutrients and restrict intake of others. This selective consumption influences, and potentially optimizes, developmental time, reproduction and lifespan of the organism. Studies so far have focused on discriminating between protein and carbohydrate uptake and the consequences on fitness components at differe
By examining photographic depictions of subjects labeled as ‘intellectually disabled’, this article theorizes how photography performs the ideological function of producing narratives of historical progression. Recurrent representations of, on the one hand, a dark past of state institutionalization and repression and, on the other hand, the present as a time when intellectually disabled people are
Malaria is a potentially life-threatening disease with approximately half of the world’s population at risk. Young children and pregnant women are hit hardest by the disease. B cells and antibodies are part of an adaptive immune response protecting individuals continuously exposed to the parasite. An infection with Plasmodium falciparum can cause dysregulation of B cell homeostasis, while antibodi
Daily school physical activity (PA) improves musculoskeletal traits. This study evaluates whether the benefits remain 4 years after the intervention. We followed 45 boys and 36 girls who had had 40 min PA/school day during the nine compulsory school years and 21 boys and 22 girls who had had 60 min PA/school week (reference), with measurements at baseline and 4 years after the program terminated.
The aim of this knowledge compilation is to contribute with know-ledge about the work environment in relation to the ever-older workforce. How do employee needs and possibilities change from a course of life perspective? What should the employer and other work environment actors think about in order for the workforce to be able to and want to work to a high age? The Swedish Work Environment Author
