Importance: We know little about the transmission of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) across generations. Objective: To evaluate the sources of parent-offspring transmission of OCD and familial cross-generational association with more typical anxiety disorders. Design, Setting, and Participants: This Swedish population register-based study analyzed data for offspring born in Sweden from 1960 to

The ECJ’s judgment of 27 January 2021 in the case C-595/18 P (the ”Goldman Sachs case”) has caused a big buzz in the ever growing Private Equity sector. It confirmed the ruling of the GCEU of July 2018 case T-419/14 which in turn confirmed the Commission’s decision according to which Goldman Sachs has been held liable for an antitrust infringement committed by one of its portfolio companies. In al

Galektiner är proteiner som är involverade i många biologiska funktioner så som celldelning, cellvandring och celldöd bland många fler. Deras närvaro är betydande i sjukdomar som akut inflammation, ärrbildning, allergier och cancer. Galektinfamiljen består av 15 medlemmar där majoriteten av dem finns i människor. Speciellt galektin-3 är ett intressant protein att studera eftersom det har visats vaGalectins are cytosolic protein family involved in several biological functions such as cell differentiation, cell migration and apoptosis amongst many others. Their presence is also substantial in diseases including acute inflammation, fibrosis, allergies, and cancer. This protein family consists of 15 members where the majority of them are found in humans and they are divided into three subgroup

The push-pull design has been shown to increase DSC performance through the introduction of electron-withdrawing groups and electron-donating groups, usually on opposite far ends of the sensitizer. The scope of this thesis was to synthesize several pre-N-heterocyclic carbene ligand analogs that are inspired by the push-pull design in an attempt to investigate their susceptibility to Fe(II) complex

This research project examines the research on safe and forced repatriation and how those concepts have been contested in research, especially in the case of Syrian repatriation from Lebanon. It focuses on how there needs to be nuance and fluidity added to the perception of safe repatriation. It suggests that voluntary repatriation is a disguise for forced repatriation and that research needs to f

Among foreign-born women there is a significant employment gap compared to native women as well as foreign-born men. At the same time public institutions have been deemed as unable to deliver labor market integration efforts that are adapted to the needs of foreign-born women, which has been pointed out as a necessity. In this context, civil society-municipal partnerships have been recognized as a

In recent years, more than 2000 jurisdictions worldwide have declared a climate emergency. While such declarations have been suggested to have the potential to spark transformative climate action, there is much disagreement about the merits of climate emergency framings. Moreover, no studies have been conducted on the topic from a Swedish perspective. This study addresses this research gap by expl

The current way of consumption and production is unsustainable in that society is exceeding the earth’s planetary boundaries and creating long-term and irreversible effects on an environmental, social, and economic level. There is a recognized need on all system levels to change the way that we operate. Industry is a key area that requires this attention, as it is largely responsible for the impac

In the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGoM), the Louisiana Shelf (LS) and Mississippi Bight (MB) subregions are influenced by eutrophication to varying degrees. Despite recognition that dissolved silicon may regulate diatom productivity in the nGoM, there is only one published data set reporting biogenic silica (bSiO2) production rates for each subregion. We report that bSiO2 production rates on the LS

In this chapter, we first review key concepts of the critical animal studies field such as oppression, intersectionality, and total liberation. From these ideas we consider the role of media in perpetuating the oppression of minoritized groups, particularly through cultural violence (Galtung, 1990), which legitimizes other forms of violence and injustice. We argue that communication research can c

This text aims to identify the political framework of the human rights regime and compare the regime's historical and current political framework. This question is essential and deserves research as it explains how the regime has developed its policies and advocacy over its history and elucidates the reasons behind several of the most damaging and contentious challenges the human rights advoca

In an era of globalization, where decision-making transcends national boundaries, it is crucial to recognize the importance of individual participation in shaping the international legal sphere. This recognition becomes even more critical in the 21st century, as we are faced with the need to respond to global challenges and emergencies that demand the collaboration of diverse actors. The inclusive

We consider distributed consensus in networks where the agents have integrator dynamics of order two or higher (n≥2). We assume all feedback to be localized in the sense that each agent has a bounded number of neighbors and consider a scaling of the network through the addition of agents in a modular manner, i.e., without re-tuning controller gains upon addition. We show that standard consensus al

Although people with cardiovascular conditions were subjected to more rigorous restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is limited knowledge of how the restrictions affected their lives and well-being. Thus, the aim of this study was to describe how people with cardiovascular conditions experienced their life situation and physical and mental health during the second wave of the pandemic i

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain an understanding of how Swedish millennials perceive the image of luxury textile brands that have always relied on animal leather and now are introducing plant-based vegan leather textiles. Methodology/Empirical data: The study is based on the foundation of social constructionism philosophy. A qualitative research design is followed in the present stud

Tropical cloud forests are characterized by abundant and biodiverse mosses which grow epiphytically as well as on the ground. Nitrogen (N)-fixing cyanobacteria live in association with most mosses, and contribute greatly to the N pool via biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). However, the availability of nutrients, especially N and phosphorus (P), can influence BNF rates drastically. To evaluate the
