In this conceptual article, we propose that legal professional decision makers’ transformation of narratives in court (encoding) influences their emotional attunement to the stories at hand. First, we argue that the process of encoding is linked to the strict demand for dispassion in legal settings. Second, we introduce three techniques that regulate the emotional processes at play during the enco
Background: The diagnostic performance of the IOTA methods, the O-RADS lexicon, and the RMI has been validated in prospective and retrospective studies, but most validation studies tested the performance in the hands of experienced ultrasound examiners. Objective: To prospectively validate the performance of the Risk of Malignancy Index, the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis Simple Rules Risk M
Background: Wrist osteoarthritis can cause persistent pain, reduced joint mobility, and difficulty performing daily activities, negatively impacting quality of life. Although patient education and exercise therapy are recommended as first-line treatments for osteoarthritis in other joints, evidence supporting these strategies for wrist osteoarthritis remains limited. This randomized controlled tri
Vaccine scepticism is often related to fears of potential side effects and to doubts regarding the safety and effectiveness of the injections. Alongside the medical issues, mass vaccination campaigns like the one related to the COVID-19 pandemic also have civic and epistemic effects connected to the engagement of people on the internet in matters concerning the vaccination and vaccination campaign
Introduction: Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) is implemented in Swedish general Mental Health Services. While FACT focuses on supporting the participation and personal recovery of individuals with complex mental health needs, critical components enabling these aspects are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to understand the critical components of FACT delivery supporting pa
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as nitration of Tyr (Y) residues and di-tyrosine (DT) formation are known to impact the aggregation behavior of α-synuclein (α-syn), a protein closely linked to Parkinson's disease. Using tetranitromethane (TNM) as a model nitrating agent, we systematically investigated the chemical modifications of α-syn and their consequences for aggregation. Mass spe
This paper presents findings from a transdisciplinary study exploring conditions for Inclusive Science Education (ISE) for children aged 0–16 from communities in vulnerability risk situation. A two-step literature review was conducted to identify inclusive teaching and learning interventions. The first phase applied a Scoping Review, followed by an Integrative Literature Review focusing on communi
The present study aimed to increase understanding of how singing activities may be initiated in primary school, and what support and assistance teachers require to conduct singing activities as an integrated part of the school day. Five music teachers participated in a focus group interview. The following main themes were identified: 1) pedagogical and methodological flexibility, 2) the role of ro
A set of measurements for the production of a W-boson in association with high-transverse-momentum jets is presented using 140 fb-1 of proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurements are performed in final states in which the W-boson decays into an electron or muon plus a neutrino and is produced in association with j
Background: Blood cultures (BCs) are key diagnostic elements for sepsis patients. Accurate preanalytical procedures are substantial, and results should be available as soon as possible to guide adequate antimicrobial treatment. This study aimed to evaluate BC collection practices and diagnostic capacity across European hospitals. Methods: This cross-sectional survey investigated BC diagnostics in
Background: Repetitive and monotonous work is often associated with neck pain, potentially resulting in sick leave and reduced productivity. Establishing appropriate muscle activity patterns, including duration and frequency of breaks that can prevent neck pain development, is important for providing workplace guidance. While several smaller studies addressing monotonous neck-loading work have ind
Background: Less adults with cerebral palsy (CP) lives independently, compared to adults without disabilities. Access to personal assistance may help overcome barriers to independent living. Also, little is known about hand function in adults with CP, and the role of hand function in achieving independent living remains unexplored. Objective: To explore the associations between housing and persona
Objective: To develop machine-learning models that incorporate clinical information and radiomics features extracted from ultrasound images to distinguish uterine sarcomas from leiomyomas. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter, pilot case–control study included 200 patients (100 with a uterine sarcoma and 100 with a usual-type leiomyoma, i.e. including no benign leiomyoma variants) who underwen
This thesis aims to analyze female sexual and bodily rights in Lebanon from a queer perspective, focusing on issues such as space and visibility and the strategically neglecting of historical existence of female narratives, referred to as conceptual anorexia. The thesis was preceded by a field work conducted in Beirut where observations of the field and interviews with LGBTQ- and/or feminist activ
The Water hyacinth is one of the worst aquatic weeds in the world and it is today present on all continents except Antarctica. It causes big problems for both people and the aquatic ecosystems in many countries. A lot of research has been completed to find methods to eradicate the weed and a lot of money has been spent on management to keep waters clean. In this literature study on management meth
Title: Resistance and uncertainty in change processes. How can dialogue and participation be used to ensure a successful implementation of a change initiative? Author: Cathrine Westlie Eidal Advisor: Charlotte Simonsson Problem: Resistance and uncertainty towards change are the main problems why change initiatives fail. There is also a lack in the literature when it comes to how the employees perc
In this thesis, issues surrounding climate actions are analysed through the notion of corporate due diligence in the European Union (EU) context. The study explores how mandatory climate change due diligence schemes, potentially in the form of a legally binding instrument, may affect the critical sector of energy-intensive industries (EIIs) in the Union and further contribute to the broader EU cli
Plant-based ice cream and whipping cream are increasingly popular as sustainable alternatives to traditional dairy products. Their low fat content makes them much healthier than high-fat dairy products. However, achieving desirable texture and stability in plant-based desserts remains a challenge. This study investigated how different processing conditions (homogenization pressure, upstream/downst
