This investigation concerns written output produced by Swedish learners of English as a second language (L2) and French as a third language (L3). The analysed texts were rated according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which is a widespread and language-independent document commonly used to assess communicative competence based on six main proficiency levels (A1,

Sweden has received a high number of immigrants during the last decade. This has led to an increased ethnic and socioeconomic segregation in Swedish cities, which in turn has led to different integration initiatives to become more frequent. This thesis aims to investigate how a “buddy programme”, a social integration project that matches a newcomer and an established Swede together, can enrich the
Neutrophil recruitment and plasma exudation are key elements in the immune response to injury or infection. Activated neutrophils stimulate opening of the endothelial barrier; however, the underlying mechanisms have remained largely unknown. In this study, we identified a pivotal role of the proinflammatory kallikrein-kinin system and consequent formation of bradykinin in neutrophil-evoked vascula
The latency and amplitude of the midlatency auditive evoked potential's (AEP) Nb-trough has been found to indicate the depth of anaesthesis. The aim of this paper is to present a system that reliably estimates these parameters without a long time delay. The result shows that it is possible to estimate and track changes in latency and amplitude of the Nb-trough with a delay below 1 minute at a stim
Drainage networks are the basis for segmentation of watersheds, an essential component in hydrological modelling, biogeochemical applications, and resource management plans. With the rapidly increasing availability of topographic information as digital elevation models (DEMs), there have been many studies on DEM-based drainage network extraction algorithms. Most of traditional drainage network ext
Bakgrund: Hur vi identifierar oss är starkt kopplat till arbete. Unga vuxna är en känslig grupp när det gäller inträde på arbetsmarknaden. Om de också har psykisk ohälsa blir det ännu svårare och risken för marginalisering ökar. Likväl har arbete visat väsentlig betydelse för en personlig återhämtning. Syftet med studien var att utforska erfarenheter bland unga vuxna med psykisk ohälsa som börjar
Mnemonic discrimination, the ability to distinguish similar events in memory, relies on subregions in the human medial temporal lobes (MTLs). Tau pathology is frequently found within the MTL of older adults and therefore likely to affect mnemonic discrimination, even in healthy older individuals. The MTL subregions that are known to be affected early by tau pathology, the perirhinal-transentorhina
BACKGROUND: Transient tachypnoea of the newborn (TTN) is characterized by tachypnoea and signs of respiratory distress. Transient tachypnoea typically appears within the first two hours of life in term and late preterm newborns. The administration of corticosteroids might compensate for the impaired hormonal changes which occur when infants are delivered late preterm, or at term but before the ons
The aim of the RAID project (Robot for Assisting the Integration of the Disabled) is to develop and demonstrate a prototype robotic workstation for use by disabled people. The RAID project is part of the European Community TIDE program (Technology for the socio-economic Integration of disabled and Elderly people). The robotized system is intended primarily for vocational use in an office environ
In vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) data often exhibit baselines or low-amplitude signal variations resulting from residual water, imperfectly suppressed lipids, low-amplitude metabolites not considered for fitting, and other features not represented in a basis set. While multitudinous approaches exist to model these baselines in 1H-MR spectral analysis, many continue to lack s
This study explores how Swedish preachers incorporate AI chats such as ChatGPT into sermon preparation. Based on interviews, chat logs, and sermon manuscripts from six priests in the Church of Sweden, the study uses relevance theory to analyse the preachers' prompting and evaluation strategies. The preachers primarily use large language models (LLMs) for brainstorming and inspiration, critically e
Due to ongoing climate change, methane (CH4) emissions from vegetated wetlands are projected to increase during the 21st century, challenging climate mitigation efforts aimed at limiting global warming. However, despite reports of rising emission trends, a comprehensive evaluation and attribution of recent changes remains limited. Here we assessed global wetland CH4 emissions from 2000-2020 based
BACKGROUND: The advent of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors has revolutionized lung cancer treatment, necessitating accurate PD-L1 immunohistochemical (IHC) assessment. While standardized for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) histological samples, PD-L1 testing on cytology remains challenging. This review aims to address the complexities of PD-L1 IHC in cytology, focusing on validation guidelines, quali
Anthropogenic land-use change (LUC) substantially impacts climate dynamics, primarily through modifications in the surface biogeophysical (BGP) and biogeochemical (BGC) fluxes, which alter the exchange of energy, water, and carbon with the atmosphere. Despite the established significance of both the BGP and BGC effects, their relative contribution to climate change remains poorly quantified. In th
Global wetlands are the largest and most uncertain natural source of atmospheric methane (CH4). The FLUXNET-CH4 synthesis initiative has established a global network of flux tower infrastructure, offering valuable data products and fostering a dedicated community for the measurement and analysis of methane flux data. Existing studies using the FLUXNET-CH4 Community Product v1.0 have provided inval
This thesis investigates the role of advanced atmospheric inversion techniques and ∆¹⁴CO₂ observations in improving the accuracy of regional CO₂ flux estimates across Europe. Accurate quantification of fossil fuel emissions and biospheric fluxes is essential for understanding regional carbon budgets and supporting climate policy. However, significant uncertainties persist due to limited observatio
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether malnutrition or nutrition impact symptoms (NIS) affect the possibility of returning to work after treatment for head and neck cancer. Methods: Patients of working age with head and neck cancer were followed up from treatment initiation to 3 months (n = 238), 1 year (n = 182), and 2 years (n = 130) after treatment completion. The observed decrease in
