Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate possible associations between androgen concentrations in perimenopausal women and symptoms that may be associated with low androgen concentrations in the blood. Methods All women born in the period 1935-1945 and living in a defined geographic area in Sweden (n=10 766) were invited to a screening program that included physical and laboratory exami
Uppsatsen utforskar hur hen används av dagstidningar efter det att boken Kivi & Monsterhund populariserade pronomet i början av 2012. Studien använder sig av kvantitativ innehållsanalys av Aftonbladet och Svenska Dagbladets artiklar innehållande hen. Det statistiska materialet analyseras med stöd av teorierna om medielogik och diffusion av innovation. Fokus ligger på i vilken kontext ordet anv
This study was motivated by the current vulnerable status of Chinese taught as a second language in Swedish gymnasium education, calling for further knowledge on how theories on second language (L2) acquisition can benefit instruction on L2 Chinese. Since language textbooks often constitute the curriculum in Swedish classrooms, two Chinese textbooks were targeted for analysis in terms of the seque

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur den amerikanska ockupationen påverkade den japanska filmen i allmänhet, och Akira Kurosawas (1910-1998) produktion under denna tidsperiod i synnerhet. För att uppnå detta skisserar jag en översiktlig och lättillgänglig bild av den japanska filmhistorien, från dess tidigaste skede fram till 1952, vilken jag hoppas kan fungera som en historisk fond. Vad
This paper elaborates on a technique for rapid real-time imaging of millimeter wave (mmWave) power density over surfaces of several wavelengths in size. The approach involves utilizing a screen-printed metasurface equipped with elements designed for absorption of mmWaves, along with an infrared camera to monitor temperature changes due to the absorption. By modulating the transmitted signal and ap
Introduction: Widening participation in education by including students from underrepresented groups has been recognized as important for the last decade. During the recent pandemic, the interest in how to make students from different backgrounds feel part of the university, and connected to their studies and peers, has become an even more widespread concern and therefore important to explore furt
This research explores how district heating (DH) sector professionals /employees experience the low-carbon energy transitions-related change processes in the Danish heat supply sector. Enquiry draws upon mixed data collected among DH employees from 148 utilities. Geels’ triple embeddedness framework conceptualizes the connections between regime-level actor experiences of niche- and landscape-level
Single-cell RNAseq is a routinely used method to explore heterogeneity within cell populations. Data from these experiments are often visualized using dimension reduction methods such as UMAP and tSNE, where each cell is projected in two or three dimensional space. Three-dimensional projections can be more informative for larger and complex datasets because they are less prone to merging and flatt
Developing efficient and robust computational models is essential to improve our understanding of protein solution behavior. This becomes particularly important to tackle the high-concentration regime. In this context, the main challenge is to put forward coarse-grained descriptions able to reduce the level of detail, while retaining key features and relevant information. In this work, we develop
This paper proposes a wireless and stretchable sensor which uses an oscillator with an inductively coupled resonator. By delving into the malleable nature of these cutting-edge electronics, we determine the most effective circuit parameters to optimize signal behavior for specific applications. The findings showed that the simulated frequency shift sensitivity to variations in sensor resistance in
Body water balance is determined by fundamental homeostatic mechanisms that maintain stable volume, osmolality and the composition of extracellular and intracellular fluids. Water balance is maintained by multiple mechanisms that continuously match water losses through urine, the skin, the gastrointestinal tract and respiration with water gains achieved through drinking, eating and metabolic water
A palliative cancer diagnosis in a parent has a major impact on many aspects of their children’s lives. Studies show that professionals do not seem to offer relatives, in general, much attention in the palliative fieldAim: To explore how doctors and social workers handle children of cancer patients in order to understand the possibilities and difficulties in supporting children in specialized pall
Integration of fiber modification step with a modern pulp mill is a resource efficient way to produce functional fibers. Motivated by the need to integrate polymer adsorption with the current pulping system, anion-specific effects in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) adsorption have been studied. The QCM-D adsorption experiments revealed that CMC adsorption to the cellulose model surface is prone to an
Introduction: Device-aided therapy may improve the quality of life (QoL) for people with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) and poorly controlled symptoms with oral therapy. MANAGE-PD is a validated tool classifying patients based on symptom control and advanced treatment eligibility. This study focused on patient/caregiver reported outcomes and healthcare resource utilization among patients groupe
Properties of characteristic modes of lossless scatterers breaking time-reversal symmetry are presented utilizing the scattering formulation of characteristic decomposition. Antennas connected to nonreciprocal circuits and moving material bodies are used as numerical examples.
The chemical composition of non-refractory submicron aerosol (NR-PM1) was characterized at the Villum Research Station (Villum) at Station Nord in North Greenland during spring-summer 2016 using a Time of Flight Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor (ToF-ACSM). The composition is dominated by sulfate (48%) and organic species (40%). Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) identified three key factors co
