School refusal (SR) can have several negative consequences, but effective treatments are available. When chronic, school absence requires comprehensive treatment. This study evaluates an intervention for SR based on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model, Hemmasittarprogrammet (HSP). Attendance, anxiety, depression, quality of life, and emotional and behavioral symptoms were measured at pre-tr
This paper presents a structured optimization framework for reducing the computational complexity of LDPC decoders. Subject to specified performance constraints and adaptive to environment conditions, the proposed framework leverages the adjustable performance-complexity tradeoffs of the decoder to deliver satisfying performance with minimum computational complexity. More specifically, two constra
Weber's notion of value spheres is famous but underdeveloped as a theory framework. Prominent sociologists have shown that it can be used as a unifying force in functionalist differentiation theory, and as a tool in the analysis of modernity. One of the theorists in this tradition is Hans L. Zetterberg, who throughout his varied career remained attached to the idea of society as composed of six va
Översiktlig analys av hur tidningen Lundagård under 100 år tecknat sin historia genom särskilda jubileumsutgåvor vart femte år sedan 1925.
Background: Visual exploration of gene product behavior across multiple omic datasets can pinpoint technical limitations in data and reveal biological trends. Still, such exploration is challenging as there is a need for visualizations that are tailored for the purpose. Results: The OmicLoupe software was developed to facilitate visual data exploration and provides more than 15 interactive cross-d
Up to 10% of pediatric cancer patients harbor pathogenic germline variants in one or more cancer susceptibility genes. A recent study from the US reported pathogenic variants in 22 out of 60 analyzed autosomal dominant cancer susceptibility genes, implicating 8.5% of pediatric cancer patients. Here we aimed to assess the prevalence of germline pathogenic variants in these 22 genes in a population-
This paper presents a robust and low-complexity non-linearity suppression scheme for radio frequency (RF) transceiver building blocks to efficiently mitigate intermodulation distortion. The scheme consists of tunable RF components assisted by an auxiliary path equipped with an adaptive digital signal processing algorithm to provide the tuning control. This proposed concept of digitally-assisted tu
This paper assesses water quality that is used for vegetable irrigation in Tamale Metropolis, Ghana. A mixed-method of research design was employed in this study to collect and analyze the data based on survey instruments. The paper found that Escherichia coli (E. coli) that is usually used as an indicator of water contamination and heavy metals exist in all taken water samples. The mean concentra
Introduction: Data regarding real-world impact on cancer clinical research during COVID-19 are scarce. We analysed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the conduct of paediatric cancer phase I–II trials in Europe through the experience of the Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer (ITCC). Methods: A survey was sent to all ITCC-accredited early-phase clinical trial hospitals including ques
This Phase I study investigated the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO), a CD22-directed antibody-drug conjugate, in pediatric patients with multiple-relapsed/refractory (R/R) CD22-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Patients (≥1-<18 years) received three InO doses (Days 1, 8, 15) per course. Dose-escalation was based on dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) during Co
Objective: To develop and validate Clinical Diversity In Meta-analyses (CDIM), a new tool for assessing clinical diversity between trials in meta-analyses of interventions. Study design and setting: The development of CDIM was based on consensus work informed by empirical literature and expertise. We drafted the CDIM tool, refined it, and validated CDIM for interrater scale reliability and agreeme
Rhombohedral-stacked few-layer graphene (FLG) displays peculiar electronic properties that could lead to phenomena such as high-temperature superconductivity and magnetic ordering. To date, experimental studies have been mainly limited by the difficulty in isolating rhombohedral FLG with thickness exceeding 3 layers and device-compatible size. In this work, we demonstrate the synthesis and transfe
A numerical investigation has been conducted to study the convective heat transfer enhancement and friction loss behaviors for turbulent flow by using arrays of differently shaped ribs combined with delta-winglet vortex generators (DWVGs) pair on the absorber plate of a solar air heater. Four transverse vortex generators arrays, i.e., 90° continuous ribs, 90° truncated ribs, 60° V-shaped continuou
An overview of the development, and use of, fictive languages in literature, movies and TV-shows from ancient Greece to 2021.
The difficult manufacturing of helical baffles hinders the widespread application of the enhancement technology and the shortcut leakage between adjacent baffles impairs the enhancement effects. To solve these two issues, the promising anti-leakage and easy-to-manufacture helical baffles with small inclined angle and folded structure are proposed, which can be produced by 2D laser cutting and simp
A 9-bit 1-MS/s successive-approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for ultra low power radio applications using 130 nm CMOS is presented. The ADC achieves a power consumption of 7/μW according to simulation results. This ultra low power is realized by employing a maximally simplified ADC architecture that consists of a dynamic latch comparator, a charge redistribution digital-to-analo
