Schizophrenia is a disease highly characterized by a disturbed perception of reality, where delusions often generate misinterpretations of the individuals perceptions. Emotion processing has been widely documented within schizophrenia, which above all has demonstrated a reduction regarding the Theory of mind. Also well documented is that individuals with schizophrenia depict a reduced perceptual a

The purpose of my article is to highlight the development and activities of the Catholic traditionalist minority groups and discuss their importance in today’s Catholic Church. The traditionalist movement started as a reaction to the reforms implemented as a result of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), which for many conservative-minded Catholics appeared as a departure from Catholic faith an

Cyanobacteria blooms are a water menace since they produce potent toxins that have been implicated in poisonings and deaths of humans and animals after consumption or contact with cyanotoxin-contaminated water. Of particular concern are cyanotoxins called microcystins, which are hepatotoxic cyclic peptides known to promote development of liver tumors in humans and animals. The high toxicity and in

Modern standard written Chinese has two common object markers, 把 ba and 将 jiang, both of which mark a direct object preceding the verb. Both markers appear to have been widely used in the spoken language of the Tang dynasty but the actual distribution is not entirely clear. Today jiang has disappeared from the dialects and subdialects of northern China and it is mainly used in the Yue dialect (Can

Regardless of workplace, social workers today use standardized tools for investigation, assessment and treatment that, to varying degrees, prescribe what information should be collected, with what questions, and what should be done in what order. With an ethnomethodological gaze on situated action and context, this article explores how social workers ascribe meaning to a standardized tool for fami

According to the Euro-barometer conducted by European Parliament in 2016, 57% of Young People in Europe have the perception of being excluded from the society in their country of residence (EPRS, 2016). With rising of anti-immigrants sentiments across the globe and increasing discourse on failed integration, one of the most affected groups are young migrants (MUCF, 2016). Differently from existing

Popular Abstract in Swedish Städer har kommit att framstå som alltmer drivande i arbetet med att ställa om till ett ekologiskt hållbart samhälle. Utöver att genomföra statliga direktiv eller fokusera på klassiskt kommunala uppgifter som fysisk planering eller renhållning, har kommunala politiker och tjänstemän alltmer kommit att driva en egen miljöpolitik på lokal nivå. Ett exempel är energi- och Local governments are increasingly taking the initiative in environmental governance. But can they make any difference in addressing current environmental challenges, which are becoming more and more global in scope? This PhD thesis explores and analyses the outcomes of proactive initiatives in the field of building energy efficiency, and the governance approaches taken. It addresses outcomes both

In this essay my intention has been to investigate the introductional efforts provided for newly arrived immigrants and whether these efforts have an integrating effect. To work this out I have taken use of the theory about social inclusion/exclusion and also by interviewing six persons who are professionally experienced in these particular matters. I also explain the very concept of integration a

This thesis explores the possibilities of integrating semantic transport information in the context of 3D-city modelling by implementing transport surfaces according to standards defined by the 3CIM specification, an extension of CityGML. This approach aims to automatically generate transport surfaces in LOD1 and LOD2, based on the Stockholm city basemap in combination with road geometries that re

This thesis consists of four papers that broadly concerns two dierent topics. The rsttopic is so-called barycentric Markov processes. By a barycentric Markov process wemean a process that consists of a point/particle system evolving in (discrete) time,whose evolution depends in some way on the mean value of the current points in thesystem.

Spatial models, such as the Besag, York and Mollie (BYM)model, have long been used in epidemiology and disease mapping. A commonproblem in these subjects is the modelling of number of disease eventsper region; here the BYM models provides a holistic framework for bothcovariates and dependencies between regions.We use these tools to assess the relative insurance risk associated withthe policyholder

Using qualitative content analysis on adverse drug reactions reports filed to an open Internet-based reporting system in Sweden, this study explored patients’ and consumers’ experiences of antidepressant treatment and the medical encounter. By scrutinizing free text comments in 181 individual consumer reports of adverse drug reactions, we could obtain important information about how people, as indUsing qualitative content analysis on adverse drug reactions reports filed to an open Internet-based reporting system in Sweden, this study explored patients’ and consumers’ experiences of antidepressant treatment and the medical encounter.
