Introduction and Aims: Up to 80% of adolescents have experienced trauma and one-in-seven suffer from post­ traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For 50% of these adoles­cents, the course of their illness is further complicated by a co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD). Despite high rates of comorbidity, treatment options remain sparse and there is limited understanding of the clinical profile ass

Substance use and mental health disorders commonly co-occur and they are frequently underpinned by history of psychological trauma. This symposium presents new data on the clinical presentation and documentation of trauma exposure, trauma-related disorders, and their treatment among adults entering substance use treatment, the implementation of integrated trauma-focused therapy in substance use tr

This paper provides a general theoretical framework that captures the essential features ofa Swedish reform where private and public health care providers serve patients with certainfunctional impairments. Because providers receive a fixed hourly compensation for theirservices (identical across patient types) and only private providers can reject service requestsfrom patients, private providers av

After hatching, bird chicks are inevitably exposed to the thermal conditions of their environment. For the first stage of development chicks are not yet fully capable of maintaining a stable body temperature. During this time, their thermal environment can cause morphological and physiological priming. The plasticity of these responses and the extent to which they persist in the long-term is not w

In men from the general population, BMI has been associated with a lower sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI). We wondered whether this could be due to estradiol, which is associated with BMI and reported important for sperm function. Our objective was to investigate the association between estradiol and DFI. In 2008–2010, we recruited 284 young men from the general population to deliver samples of

Aim: The aim of the study was to describe different eHealth literacy domains among parents of children needing paediatric surgery in Sweden, and the correlation between these eHealth literacy domains and parents' socioeconomic factors and demographic characteristics. Design: Descriptive correlational design. Method: Thirty-five Swedish-speaking parents participated as a historical control group wi

While in Modern Italian, V1 is mandatory in absolute constructions, no such restriction is operative in Old Italian. On the surface, such a fact could be interpreted as a sign of residual V-to-Comp movement in Modern Italian. However, it is not: In Old Italian, participles targeted a position lower than Comp and, hence, the V1 pattern of Modern Italian is an innovation rather than a residue from t

Brain damage is the major cause of permanent disability and it is particularly relevant in the elderly. While most studies focused on the immediate phase of neuronal loss upon injury, much less is known about the process of axonal regeneration after damage. The development of new refined preclinical models to investigate neuronal regeneration and the recovery of brain tissue upon injury is a major

Europa går över till en cirkulär ekonomi och har höga återvinningsmål. År 2030 ska alla förpackningar på marknaden vara återvinningsbara. Detta är en utmaning, särskilt för plastförpackningar för livsmedel, som vanligtvis består av olika plastmaterial. Kravet från återvinningsindustrin i Europa är att använda monomaterialförpackningar eftersom det är lättare att återvinna. Detta kan bli problematiEurope is transitioning to a circular economy and have high recycling goals. By 2030 all packaging on the market should be recyclable. This is a challenge, especially for plastic packaging for food, which usually constitutes of different plastic materials. The demand from the recycling industry in Europe is to use mono material packaging as it is easier to recycle. This can become problematic for

Kinesthetic teaching allows human operators to reprogram part of a robot’s trajectory by manually guiding the robot. To allow kinesthetic teaching, and also to avoid any harm to both the robot and its environment, Cartesian impedance control is here used for trajectory following. In this paper, we present an online method to modify the compliant behavior of a robot toward its environment, so that

This thesis addresses how graphene can be a valuable asset for surface science studies. Using a combination of X- ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and low-energy electron diffraction, we take advantage of graphene’s sensitivity to changes in its chemical environment to obtain an atomic scale understanding of different reactions occurring above and below the film.As a

The emergence of the Faster-Than-Nyquist signaling (FTN) technology has im- proved the tight spectrum resources by compressing the transmission interval between adjacent pulses. In a natural environment, data transmission via a wire- less medium and through multi-path, at a high data rate, the leakage of these paths among symbols can cause severe inter-symbol interference (ISI). In order to compen

Death is a universal human experience, yet the ecological impact of the care and disposition of dead bodies is rarely considered, due in part to cultural taboos surrounding the physical reality of death and decomposition. If negative environmental consequences are to be limited, deathcare will need to adapt. Utilizing interviews with funeral directors from the United Kingdom, the United States and

In this article, I use a broad brush to provide a big picture of a corporate brand, how corporate branding works, and what it takes to manage a corporate brand. In the movie The Matrix, Mr. Anderson is invited to come behind the scenes to see and experience a world beyond the projected image. My article’s title welcomes you to discover and experience a corporate brand’s reality with its opportunit
