Narrative analysis about mental health in children

Nowadays it is becoming more and more common for children, young and older, to have some type of mental health problems, but the question is how does this affect the person's life? The purpose of this paper is to get a more specific understanding of mental health problems regarding children. The paper aims to show how mental health affects children, after a diagnosis and/or a turning point in

Circular business model innovation : A guidebook for practitioners

The purpose of this booklet is to offer easy-to-use guidelines for businesses to design and implement circularity strategies into their business model. Specifically, the booklet will provide step-by-step guidance on how to ideate, design, test, and scale novel circular business models. For each stage of this circular business model innovation (CBMI) process a selection of tools and methods will be

Natural decadal variability of global vegetation growth in relation to major decadal climate modes

The ongoing climate change can modulate the behavior of global vegetation and influence the terrestrial biosphere carbon sink. Past observation-based studies have mainly focused on the linear trend or interannual variability of the vegetation greenness, but could not explicitly deal with the effect of natural decadal variability due to the short length of observations. Here we put the variabilitie

Recurrent bacteremia with Enterococcus faecalis, the clinical findings predicting endocarditis, and genomic characterization of the isolates : a retrospective cohort study

Multiple episodes of Enterococcus faecalis bacteremia (EfsB) may indicate a relapse and be due to an undiagnosed infective endocarditis (IE). The aims were to study the clinical presentation of patients with EfsB with focus on the risk of recurrent infection and IE, identify potential improvements of the management, and to investigate whether E. faecalis isolates from different episodes in the sam

Education Reforms and Social Outcomes : The Impact of the Reforms on Hong Kong Students’ Concerns and Future Perspectives

The structural reforms of the curriculum implemented by the Hong Kong administration in the field of education at the beginning of the 2000s had profound implications for the future perspectives and ambitions of students and graduates. This thesis tries to investigate the key constraints posed by the reforms and their direct influence on Hong Kong local student’s perception of their future careers

Social cognition deficits and biometric signatures in the behavioural variant of Alzheimer’s disease

The behavioural variant of Alzheimer’s disease (bvAD) is characterized by early predominant behavioural changes, mimicking the behavioural variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), which is characterized by social cognition deficits and altered biometric responses to socioemotional cues. These functions remain understudied in bvAD. We investigated multiple social cognition components (i.e. emoti

Effects of surgical specialization and surgeon resection volume on postoperative complications and mortality rate after emergent colon cancer resection

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of surgical specialization and surgeon resection volume on short-term outcome after emergent colon cancer resections. Methods: A retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent resections for colon cancer between 2011 and 2020 at Helsingborg Hospital, Sweden was performed. The senior surgeon participating in each procedure was class

Emerging trends in the agri-food sector: Digitalisation and shift to plant-based diets

Our planet is currently facing unprecedented interconnected environmental, societal, and economic dilemmas due to climate change, the outbreak of pandemics and wars, among others. These global challenges pose direct threats to food security and safety and clearly show the urgent need for innovative scientific solutions and technological approaches. Backed by the current alarming situation, many fo

Examining biofilm growth and metabolism of Escherichia coli at laboratory scale using geoelectrical methods

To link geophysical field data to specific biological phenomena, controlled laboratory experiments are needed for the understanding of the response of geophysical parameters to changes in biological conditions. In this study, suspensions of bacteria were mixed with sand to create a biofilm growing on a surface and these mixtures were monitored using the geoelectrical spectral induced polarization

Forskaren och ministern om matfattigdomen och kyrkornas roll

Spara, laga, bo : Husdrömmar i mäklarreklam från 1960-, 70- och 80-talet

I denna artikel ställer jag frågor till arkivmaterial ur vardagstrycket: ett antal mäklarbroschyrer och reklamutskick analyseras med fokus på husdrömmar. Vilka husdrömmar gestaltas? Vem antas bo här, hur, var och varför? Vem är husdrömmaren, vilken värld, tid, människa och bostadskultur framträder i materialet? Jag jämför material från 1970- och 1980-tal med slutsatser jag dragit i min forskning o

Effects of mutant huntingtin in oxytocin neurons on non-motor features of Huntington's disease

Background: Early non-motor features including anxiety, depression and altered social cognition are present in Huntington's disease (HD). The underlying neurobiological mechanisms are not known. Oxytocin (OXT) is involved in the regulation of emotion, social cognition and metabolism, and our previous work showed that the OXT system is affected early in HD. The aim of the study was to investigate t

Article an internet of things approach for water efficiency : A case study of the beverage factory

There is a lack of knowledge among food manufacturers about adopting the Internet of Things (IoT)-based water monitoring system and its ability to support water minimisation activities. It is therefore necessary to investigate the applicability of IoT-based real-time water monitoring systems in a real food manufacturing environment to pursue water-saving opportunities accordingly.
