Det har visats att svenska högskole- och universitetsstudenter mår psykiskt sämre i jämförelse med yrkesverksamma i samma ålder. Tidigare studier har visat att det finns ett samband mellan fysisk träning och bättre mental hälsa. Trots detta rör många på sig för lite. Denna studie undersökte hur regelbunden träning påverkar svenska studenters mående och vilka effekter den har på deras liv. Detta gj

Static anatomical and real-time dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (RT-MRI) of the upper airway is a valuable method for studying speech production in research and clinical settings. The test-retest repeatability of quantitative imaging biomarkers is an important parameter, since it limits the effect sizes and intragroup differences that can be studied. Therefore, this study aims to present a fram
