Sleep problems, in particular the difficulty in initiating and maintaining sleep are important comorbidities in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), accompanied by a range of negative consequences for both patients and their caregivers. Melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that is important for coordinating the body's sleep-wake cycle, has been used to
STUDY QUESTION: Which substances and signal transduction pathways are potentially active downstream to the effect of FSH and LH in the regulation of human oocyte maturation in vivo? SUMMARY ANSWER: The regulation of human oocyte maturation appears to be a multifactorial process in which several different signal transduction pathways are active. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Many studies in animal species
BACKGROUND: The major risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease differ by race or ethnicity but have largely been defined using populations of European ancestry. Despite the rising prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Africa there are few related data from African populations. Therefore, we compared the association of established cardiovascular risk factors with carotid-intima med
Background: Brain metastases are associated with considerable negative effects on patients’ outcome in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). Here, we investigated the proteomic landscape of primary LADCs and their corresponding brain metastases. Materials and methods: Proteomic profiling was conducted on 20 surgically resected primary and brain metastatic LADC samples via label-free shotgun proteomics. Afte
Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been shown to predict poverty and development indicators from satellite images with surprising accuracy. This paper presents a first attempt at analyzing the CNNs responses in detail and explaining the basis for the predictions. The CNN model, while trained on relatively low resolution day- and night-time satellite images, is able to outperform human
Background: The study of thoracic injuries and biomechanics during CPR requires detailed studies that are very scarce. The role of the heart in CPR biomechanics has not been determined. This study aimed to determine the risk factors importance for serious ribcage damage due to CPR. Methods: Data were collected from a prospective registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between April 2014 and Apr
Title: Experience: does it matter when choosing co-founders? - A comparative multiple case study of how novice and habitual entrepreneurs in fintech ventures form founding teams Seminar date: January 10th, 2024 Course: FEKH99, Bachelor’s Degree Project in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, Business Administration, Undergraduate Level, 15 University Credit Points Authors: Oliver Allemog, C
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how publicly listed real estate companies in Sweden balance formal pre-decision controls with managerial judgement. Methodology: The research approach of this thesis is of a qualitative and exploratory nature. At first, a literature review was conducted in the field. The empirical data was primarily collected through semi-structured interviews
Stress and mental illness are growing and are the leading causes to sickness and sick relief from work. A lot of the stress is due to psychosocial factors, i.e. how the individual is shaped by and herself shapes the environment (the context she is currently in) through social norms. Norms which are culturally contingent and shaped with the capitalistic system. Capitalism, with its built in need fo
Undersökningen syftar till att utifrån en alternativ infallsvinkel analysera utvecklingsbegreppets möjliga bredd och alternativa definition. Utvecklingsbegreppet är under ständig förändring och med bakgrund av milleniemålen är det möjligt att tala om en förändring endast baserad på mätbara faktorer vilket ur flera aspekter anses vara negativt. Utifrån en begreppsanalytisk metod samt ett teoretiskt
Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att bidra till klarhet av och förståelse för vilken eller vilka aktörer som påverkar FASB i deras beslutsprocess vid införandet av en ny eller vid förändringen av en befintlig redovisningsstandard. Metod: Denna uppsats är en dokumentstudie av deskriptiv karaktär. En deduktiv ansats har legat till grund för att uppnå uppsatsens syfte. Urvalstekniken är ett så kall
In a future climate change perspective, the interactions among different life-forms of primary producers will likely be altered, leading to changes in the relative dominance among macrophytes, filamentous, and planktonic algae. In order to improve the possibilities to forecast future ecosystem services and function, we therefore conducted a long-term mesocosm study where primary producers were exp
Hybrid anisotropic microgels were synthesised using mesoporous silica as core particles. By finely controlling the synthesis conditions, the latter can be obtained with different shapes such as platelets, primary particles or rods. Using the core particles as seeds for precipitation polymerisation, a crosslinked poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel shell could be grown at the surface, con
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether there was any difference in scores of the Cleft Hearing, Appearance and Speech Questionnaire (CHASQ) between patients with cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) and a control population. The second aim was to compare CL/P and control population scores in this study with a British norm CL/P population. Design: Single-site, cross-sec
In this article, we demonstrate a method for inducing reversible crystal-to-crystal transitions in binary mixtures of soft colloidal particles. Through a controlled decrease of salinity and increasingly dominating electrostatic interactions, a single sample is shown to reversibly organize into entropic crystals, electrostatic attraction-dominated crystals, or aggregated gels, which we quantify usi
Technical innovations in the area of manufacturing logistics are being introduced partially and thus not exploiting their full potential. In order to optimise the efficiency of turning manufacturing processes, the process has been analysed and fundamentally re-engineered. All data from production (operations, quantities, date, time duration of operations, etc.) are now located in ERPsystem. It pro
Nowadays, most small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are seeking information technique(s) or packaged software for improving their market competitiveness. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system could be a good choice regarding it is a powerful system which is integrated software for operating different perspective of a business, all information within organization would be flow between eac
