This study investigated attendance of treatment and follow-up characteristics in two samples of suicide attempters with different lengths of follow-up, that is after one month and after three months. They did not differ initially. After one month, most of the treatment non-attenders (32%) had not yet established an outpatient contact after inpatient treatment, while after three months, 38% of the

In this paper, we consider positioning with observed-time-difference-of-arrival (OTDOA) for a device deployed in long-term-evolution (LTE) based narrow-band Internet-of-things (NB-IoT) systems. We propose an iterative expectation- maximization based successive interference cancellation (EM-SIC) algorithm to jointly consider estimations of residual frequency- offset (FO), fading-channel taps and ti

Three mentally retarded male patients, 24, 30 and 14 years old, died from acute gastric dilatation leading to rupture and perforation. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMA) was the cause of gastric dilatation in two of them. In the third patient the cause was not clear. The three patients had scoliosis and were underweight or thin. Two had spastic quadriplegia of perinatal origin and one had D

Background and Aims: Pancreatic and periampullary cancers are sometimes found to have a too advanced disease during surgery to allow resection. The aim was to describe characteristics, treatment, outcome, and time trends for patients that were planned for pancreatic surgery but found unresectable during surgery. Material and Methods: Data from the Swedish National Pancreatic and Periampullary Canc

Registration is a key component in multi-atlas approaches to medical image segmentation. Current state-of-the-art uses intensity-based registration methods, but such methods tend to be slow and sensitive to large amount of noise and anatomical abnormalities present in medical images. In this master thesis, a novel feature-based registration method is presented and compared to two baseline methods;

This thesis examines the diachronic semantic development in terms of metonymization and metaphorization for 30 nouns loaned into the Swedish language between the 13th and 20th centuries from a cognitive-semantic point of view. Through the framework of Lexical Meaning as Ontologies and Construals (LOC) combined with a study of the occurrence of metaphorization, metonymization, widening and narrowin

This thesis searches for the presence of seasonal anomalies in monthly returns on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Three indexes are investigated, one small-cap-index OMXSSCPI, one large-firm-index OMXS30, and one index containing all stocks on the exchange OMXSPI. Econometric regressions and statistical methods are used in order to investigate. Subsample regressions are also used in order to examine

In multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO), the complexity of the base-station scheduler has increased further compared to single-user multiple input multiple output (SU-MIMO). The scheduler must understand if several users can be spatially multiplexed in the same time-frequency resource. One way to spatially separate users is through beamforming with sufficiently many antennas. In thi

A voltage controlled galvanic simulator has been constructed for experiments on human balance. The aim is to gain knowledge about the human body's balancing behaviour and implementation for diagnostic purposes. The purpose is to stimulate the vestibular nerve in the inner ear, with a defined stimulus, measuring the resulting body sway, analysing the input and output signals with mathematical m

Lipases are the main fat digestive enzymes present in the digestive system of many animals, microorganisms and plants. Probiotic microorganisms that can possibly produce enzymes are of crucial importance since it can have an effect on human health. Two of the main probiotic strains are Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Biffidobacterium longum, in each there was a putative lipase encoded on the DNA and t

Enligt 2 kap 2 § socialtjänstlagen (2001:453) har kommunen det yttersta ansvaret för att de som vistas i kommunen får det stöd och den hjälp som de behöver. Det innebär bland annat att vård och omsorg är en offentlig angelägenhet och ett offentligt ansvar. Trots det är den vård som utförs av anhöriga och andra närstående personer en betydande och, till följd av nedskärningar i den kommunala omsorgArticle 2 § 2 in the Social Services Act (2001:453) declares that the municipality has the ultimate responsibility to see to that the individuals in the municipality receive the support and help they need. This means that health care is a public concern and a public responsibility. Despite this regulation, the care provided by relatives is, as a result of cuts in municipal care, a significant and

Systemic risk can be defined as the risk to the whole financial system. Financial institutions may contribute more or less to this risk, and measuring the systemic risk contributions of institutions is of central importance for regulators. This is important since it makes it possible to determine to what extent different institutions contribute to the overall systemic risk of the financial system

Aluminum matrix fly ash (AMFA) cenosphere composites were fabricated using the stir casting technique. The used type of fly ash cenosphere, which accounted for over 60% in all fly ash particles, was in narrow and small size (2-30 μm). During synthesis, effects of several key technological parameters on microstructure and properties were investigated using orthogonal experimental design. The optima

This paper investigates the intricacies of language complexity in political discourse within the Swedish parliament, with a focus on understanding the impact of mediatization. Drawing on Strömbäck's four-phase framework of mediatization, the study examines whether the internalization of media logic has led to a simplification of language in parliamentary debates. Using a quantitative approach,
