Goal self-concordance has been shown to have enduring influences on behavior. It predicts sustained effort and increased goal-attainment. Compared to goals that lack self-concordance, self-concordant goals generate greater satisfaction and increased well-being. One research strand where vision and goal self-concordance have been studied as integrated dimensions in behavior-steering processes is wo
The paper discusses how the early reception in Swedish of the Aesopic fable was filtered through German Lutheranism. The main focus of the paper is on the country’s very first vernacular fable collection, Hundrade Esopi Fabler (A Hundred Fables of Aesop), published in Stockholm in 1603. This volume is a faithful translation of the German collection Hundert Fabeln aus Esopo, composed in the 1570s b
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kvinnor känner till att det är riskabelt att röka när de blir gravida. Trots detta så slutar bara omkring hälften i Sverige och var tredje kvinna i många andra länder att röka när de blir gravida. Syftet i den här avhandlingen har varit att studera varför det är så svårt för gravida kvinnor att sluta röka. Problemområdet har studerats med olika utgångspunkter; gravida kThe aim of this thesis has been to increase understanding on the process of smoking cessation during pregnancy from the perspective of learning. The smoking pattern before and after pregnancy related to health, Sense of Coherence (SOC) and social issues was studied among all pregnant women in south-east Skåne during the period March 1994 to August 1995. They were asked to fill in a questionnaire d
Steric clashes pose a challenge when exploring dense protein systems using conventional explicit-chain methods. A minimal example is a single lattice protein confined on a minimal grid, with no free sites. Finding its minimum energy is a hard optimization problem, with similarities to scheduling problems. It can be recast as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem amenable to
This chapter has its origins in a Swedish version but has been updated through studies conducted as part of a Nordic research project on the 0governance of AI and automated decision-making in the public sector, and within the framework of a research cluster on the AI welfare state. The analysis aims to deepen our understanding of how European AI regulation is grappling with regulating a moving tar
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has
We study the probability distribution of the height of global maximum for a Gaussian random field evolving in time. Particularly, we discuss the role of the wave kinematics. It is observed that taking into account time dynamics of spatial characteristics results in distributions different from those obtained for the static case. We show how different characteristics of the sea surface like signifi
Malignant brain tumors present a major therapeutic challenge because no selective or efficient treatment is available. Here, we demonstrate that intratumoral administration of human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells (HAMLET) prolongs survival in a human glioblastoma (GBM) xenograft model, by selective induction of tumor cell apoptosis. HAMLET is a protein-lipid complex that is formed from α

We constructed hydrodynamical model atmospheres for mid M-type main-, as well as pre-main-sequence objects. Despite the complex chemistry encountered in such cool atmospheres a reasonably accurate representation of the radiative transfer is possible. The detailed treatment of the interplay between radiation and convection in the hydrodynamical models allows to study processes usually not accessibl
Reading Political Theology in light of the later developed concrete-order thinking, this essay draws attention to the understanding of law, which allows Schmitt to present the sovereign as simultaneously standing inside and outside the legal order. In addition, the particular way of ordering the political community, which Schmitt’s notion of sovereignty advances, is also explored. The essay sugges
The chapter presents the liturgical year, in particular the interpretation(s) of the liturgical year found in sermons and Biblical commentaries from the Benedictine abbey of Admont in the twelfth century.
