INTRODUCTION: The gerontological literature suggests that external housing-related control beliefs (HCB) influence activities of daily living (ADL) among older people, but knowledge is scarce for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). This longitudinal study aimed to explore the directions of the relationship between external HCB and ADL among people with PD.METHODS: Baseline (T1) and 3-year follow
Classifying active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is a challenge, especially for BL Lacertae objects (BLLs), which are identified by their weak emission line spectra. To address the problem of classification, we use data from the fourth Fermi Catalog, Data Release 3. Missing data hinder the use of machine learning to classify AGNs. A previous paper found that Multivariate Imputation by Chain Equations (MI
Background and aims: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is one of the strongest predictors of suicidal behavior. Here, we measured risk of suicide attempt and death as a function of AUD typologies. Design: We used AUD typologies from previous latent class analysis: (i) externalizing subtype (characterized by externalizing symptomatology and early age of onset; individuals in this group have lower educatio
Aim: Self-reported cognitive function has been described as an important complement to performance-based measurements but has seldom been investigated in cardiac arrest (CA) survivors. Therefore, the aim was to describe self-reported cognitive function and its association with health status, psychological distress, and life satisfaction. Methods: This study utilised data from the Swedish Register
Wind power is seen by many observers as an important part of the transition to a sustainable energy system, since it does not contribute to the environmental problems connected with dominating energy forms such as fossil fuel, nuclear power and large-scale hydro power. At the same time wind power has some characteristics that makes it a special challenge for land use planning. In Sweden, where win
Pseudopotentials, tight-binding models, and k p theory have stood for many years as the standard techniques for computing electronic states in crystalline solids. Here, we present the first new method in decades, which we call atomistic k . p theory. In its usual formulation, k . p theory has the advantage of depending on parameters that are directly related to experimentally measured quantities,
A systematic assessment of radiotherapy for cancer was conducted by The Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU) in 2001. The assessment included a review of future developments in radiotherapy and an estimate of the potential benefits of improved radiotherapy in Sweden. The conclusions reached from this review can be summarized as: Successively better knowledge is available o

The thesis begins with an introduction in chapter one, while chapter two to chapter five contains the four essays. The first essay examines the implication of using various risk measures for portfolio selection. Specifically, three risk measures are examined: variance, Value at Risk (VaR) an
Popular Abstract in Swedish De flesta bakterier lever i harmoni med människan, på huden och på olika slemhinnor framför allt i mag-tarmkanalen. Cellerna på dessa ytorna utgör ett effektivt skydd mot sjukdomsalstrande bakterier. Ibland bryts emellertid försvarsbarriären och bakterierna kan få tillgång till delar av kroppen som normalt är sterila. De är försvarade av fagocyter, ätarceller, som omsluStreptococcus pyogenes causes infections only in humans, from trivial tonsillitis to life-threatening conditions. One of its most important virulence factors is the M-like protein family conferring resistance to phagocytosis to the bacterium. The M-like proteins are surface exposed rod-like molecules attached to the cell wall. Each strain of S. pyogenes expresses unique M-like proteins that bind t
The temperature distribution in a concrete structure varies due to complex interactions with the surrounding climate. Solar radiation, air temperature, wind speed and long-wave radiation all affect the temperature in the material, and may cause movements in the longitudinal and transversal directions. If these movements are restrained, stresses and strains can be induced which may contribute to cr
Popular Abstract in Swedish En av de stora vetenskapliga bedrifterna hittills under 2000-talet är onekligen att man efter många års arbete för första gången lyckades kartlägga (sekvensera) samtliga mänskliga gener. Det mänskliga DNA:t är lokaliserat till cellkärnan och i princip så kan man likna en cellkärna med ett kontrollrum fyllt av manualer (DNA) som talar om cellens sammansättning och hur deProteomics is expected to generate new insights into biological processes as well as identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets since most biological functions are transmitted through proteins. However, due to the complexity displayed by a proteome and inherent limitations associated with current methodologies, proteomic analyses often result in incomplete coverage and inconsistent measurem
För att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten används, i Sverige och internationellt, provokativa åtgärder. Det innebär att en person provoceras av staten att begå brott eller att presentera bevis för tidigare begångna brott. Det föreligger dock en risk för att provokationer får personer att begå brott som de annars inte hade begått. Åtgärderna har då lett till att brott har tillförts samhället In order to fight organized crime, provocative investigative measures are widely used in Sweden and abroad. This means that a person is provoked by the state to commit a crime or to present evidence of past crimes. However, there is a risk that the police causes people to commit crimes that they otherwise would not have committed. The measures have then led to crimes being added to the community,
Uppsatsen har som syfte att redogöra för alkoholpolitiken som bedrivs och som har bedrivits i Sverige och dess förhållande till EU-rätten, samt att redogöra för den alkohol- och hälsopolitik EU bedriver. Utöver diskuteras den fria rörligheten och alkoholimport. Sverige har sedan länge haft lagar som syftar till att begränsa de problem som är förknippade med alkohol. De allra tidigaste lagarna fråThe main purpose of this essay is to discuss Swedish politics on the alcohol field, and its problems when it comes to the treaties of the EU. In addition, I also want to write about the alcohol and health policy of the EU. Sweden has since many hundred years had problems associated with alcohol. The earliest laws came during the 1500s and provided penalty for drunkenness. Gradually our law maker b
The importance of reading : a Master’s Thesis about literacy and librarians’ motivational reading strategies towards children and teenagers. The public literacy debate has exploded all over Swedish media since PISA published their report at the end of 2013 with the result that politicians, teachers and parents suddenly have shown a lot more interest in what and how young people read. The report h
AbstractOverweight and obesity are more common among adult people with mobility disability (MD). Epidemiological studies are sparse in Sweden when it comes to the prevalence of MD and weight, differences between people with MD compared to those without MD, as well as the association to HRQoL. In addition, general guidelines in obesity prevention and treatment adapted to people with MD are lacking
Agriculture and animal production have a great environmental impact, which is steadily growing. In a previous article, we highlighted how biodiversity is vital for agricultural production, emphasizing the role of animal pollinators. Here, we discuss the different dimensions of food security and the key role of our food choices in the cities to drive land use in rural areas and minimize the environ
Problem Statement: Make the order handling process as well as the purchasing process more efficient by constructing a loading application for transport of mixed goods in containers and trailers and to put that application in a wider packaging logistic perspective by analysing the effects of an implementation of this application. Purpose: To simplify the order handling process and the purchasi
Title: Creativity and blockings: Non-musicians? experiences of music making The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the ability of music-making can benefit from and/or be inhibited by extra-musical factors, such as one's own or other people's opinions, criticism, prejudice and values. An experiment was carried out, where 10 nonmusicians were instructed to solve a compositional
The aim of this Master's thesis is to study how DIK (Documentation, Information and Culture), the major trade union for Swedish librarians, work with the status and professionalization of the occupation. The status is, as we see it, low and depending on several factors. They are among others: the knowledge base, how extended the research base is and the domination of women within the professio
When it comes to taxation of housing cooperatives there is a difference in the tax law between the cooperatives the tax law regard as true and false respectively. True housing cooperatives have a milder taxation than the false cooperatives. The consequences, depending of which category the cooperative belongs to, will have an effect on the cooperative as well as its shareholders. Because of that,
