In elite sport, athletes and staff may face unique personal- and sports-related stressors that can both bolster and undermine their mental health. Meanwhile, toughness, perfectionism, stigma, and unwanted attention can serve as exacerbating factors and help-seeking deterrents. Two outpatient psychiatric clinics specializing in elite sport and health have been established in Sweden, including one i

Acute Achilles tendon rupture can be treated both surgically and by immobilization in plaster alone. We have used the latter approach, since it has been shown that results are almost equivalent, but with fewer complications. In both cases, patients are often immobilized for many weeks, although treatment which encourages movement has been used in operated cases. The physiology of tendon healing wo

Static code checkers are tools that help software engineers by automatically finding defects without executing the programs. These tools contain a set of detectors that rely on static program analyses to find common programming defects or to enforce coding guidelines.While existing code checker frameworks package a rich collection of detectors, aimed at common bug defects, the effort to adapt thes

This thesis explores the relationship between AI, security, and social sustainability as a sociotechnical system, analyzing the implications and perspectives that arise from this understanding. It represents a culmination of four articles that rely on both conceptual insights and empirical findings. The articles incorporate diverse perspectives to enhance the comprehension of AI’s effects on socia

In recent years, the prevalence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis has risen. Nevertheless, effective diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers alongside targeted treatments are lacking, making lung transplantation the last resort for many patients with end-stage disease. However, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), a manifestation of chronic lung allograft

Artikel om Sverker Oredssons gärning som historiker.

In this article, I examine and compare how the book of Esther is interpreted on two Swedish and one US based online discussion forums (Familjeliv, Flashback, and Reddit). The study is conducted from a reception critical perspective, highlighting dominant interpretations and their ideological consequences, such as the reproduction of relations of domination. While religious actors tend to praise Es

Avtal kan innehålla otydligheter som gör att det blir nödvändigt med en tolkning. De kan också vara ofullständiga på ett sätt som gör att de måste fyllas ut med lagbestämmelser. Det här gäller givetvis även avtal som slutits efter att beslut om kontraktstilldelning fattats efter en genomförd offentlig upphandling. Varken upphandlingsdirektiven eller den svenska lagstiftningen tar ställning i fråga

Landscape-scale land use is important in driving species communities and interactions. However, despite increasing concerns regarding the ecological consequences of insect declines, our understanding of how the relative proportions of different land cover types influence insect herbivory in species-rich semi-natural habitats remains limited. This study assessed leaf, stem, and flower herbivory acr

There is widespread criticism that place marketing initiatives contribute mainly to the commodification of places (Lichrou and Panayiotopoulos, 2021; Kavaratizis et al., 2018; Kavaratzis et al., 2017) and to the commodification of the climate crisis (Fletcher 2019). Place marketing is seen here only as a strategic management tool to make a place recognisable in the minds of different stakeholders,

The reasons why some individuals who experience trauma develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) while others do not remain poorly understood, highlighting the complex interplay of encoding-related and intrapersonal factors. This study aimed to examine factors predicting variability in trauma-related symptom development. Using a trauma-film paradigm in a healthy sample (N = 32), we investigate

The rapid rise of e-scooters (electric scooters) in cities around the world, boosted by the introduction of shared e-scooter services has visibly reshaped the way people move around cities, sparking both excitement and controversy. With the increase in popularity of these vehicles, concerns regarding their impact on traffic safety and accidents have become a rising public concern. In this paper, w

In this paper, locating myself in a tradition of critical race studies, I try to identify the problems I observe within the field of antisemitism studies. Departing from observations from the European Sociological Association conference held in Porto, Portugal, in August 2024, where leading antisemitism researchers in Europe stated that “antisemitism is at the core of Palestinian identity” and “po

Bakgrund Smärta och värk är vanliga problem bland professionella musiker och utgör en betydande utmaning för deras hälsa och yrkesutövning. Musiker lägger ofta många timmar varje vecka på att spela sitt instrument och somliga har gjort detta i merparten av sina liv. Många instrument kräver långvariga obekväma arbetsställningar och det är svårare att avbryta spelandet eller byta arbetsuppgifter som

Bakgrund Ridsport är en av Sveriges största sporter med en stor variation av discipliner och utövare i alla åldrar. Trots att prevalensen för ländryggssmärta inom ridsporten misstänks vara hög så saknas kartläggning av problematiken, dess orsaker, konsekvenser och åtgärder. Syfte/frågeställningar Syftet med studien var att kartlägga prevalensen av ländryggssmärta och smärtans påverkan på det dagli

Bakgrund I styrkelyft kan knäböj delas in i två huvudtekniker: den med låg stångplacering och den med hög stångplacering. Dessa två tekniker har undersökts i tidigare studier och tillskrivits olika egenskaper gällande biomekanik och muskelaktivering. Mer eller mindre modifierbara faktorer som en individ besitter, såsom antropometri och styrka, skulle också kunna vara bidragande faktorer till val a
