The aim is to test the reliability of two alcohol screening instruments: (1) The Parent Alcohol Screening Questionnaire (PASQ5), and (2) the Social Support for an Alcohol-free Pregnancy (SSAFP) questionnaire. This is a cohort study from the south of Sweden using repeated surveys during pregnancy. To examine if responses differed according to different data collection methods, two cohorts consistin
Abstract Information and information seeking have always been important parts of society. How behavioural patterns of information seeking manifest themselves are partly due to individual prerequisites and partly due to the practice where the seeking of information is conducted. The aim of this study is to investigate a group of newly examined physicians? experiences of information seeking behavi
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. The motor and non-motor symptoms of PD lead to a number of consequences in everyday life for persons with PD (PwPD). PwPD continuously need to adapt to their new life situation and despite medical treatment, the impact of PD on everyday life is inevitable and can lead to a lower level of life satisfaction (LS). LS is a
This review examines four imaging modalities; ultrasound (US), digital subtraction angiography (DSA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), that have common or potential applications in vascular access (VA). The four modalities are reviewed under their primary uses, techniques, advantages and disadvantages, and future directions that are specific to VA. Currently, US is th
Scholars of international law and international relations largely agree that global governance today, and global environmental governance in particular, is marked by institutional complexity. Environmental policy fields are, to varying degrees, governed by a plurality of institutions with different levels of legalization, membership, and jurisdictional scope, and with different degrees of coherenc
A numerical study is performed to investigate the effects of jet hole shape and channel geometry on impingement cooling for both stationary and rotating condition. Two hole shapes and two channel geometries are introduced to counteract the adverse effects of centrifugal force and Coriolis force which are induced by rotation. Both the fluid and solid part are considered for realizing the conjugate
The Cross-Wavy primary surface heat exchanger is one of the most promising candidates for microturbine recuperators. In this paper, naphthalene sublimation experiments are performed for Cross-Wavy channels in a wind tunnel. The experimental results indicate that the entrance region has a small effect on the unit-averaged heat transfer coefficient of whole Cross-Wavy channels. Correlations of Nusse

This paper draws attention to the increasing prominence of religious symbolism in Turkish visual politics, focusing state sponsored expositions, cultural events and public celebrations, orchestrated by the Turkish AKP Government and municipalities. The appropriation of Islamic and neo-Ottoman symbols in such public events appears to have become an important strategy for forwarding religious values
AbstractBackgroundThere is a need for easily administered objective tests in neurodevelopmental disorders. We investigated the clinical utility for child and adolescent psychiatry of Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) and Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) as support in diagnosing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). MethodsTh
This study shows that the framework used to construct the successful Euro Area Leading Indicator (ALI), developed by de Bondt and Hahn on behalf of the European Central Bank, can successfully be applied to the Swedish business cycle. The ALI type indicator constructed in this study is a weighted index of nine macroeconomic series and accurately predicts the Swedish business cycle by three months (
Researchers in the field of Galactic Archaeology have entered the era of industrial revolution. Upcoming surveys are planning on observing tens of millions of stars and high precision and accuracy must be ensured when deriving their stellar parameters and elemental abundances. Unconventional data-driven techniques hold the promise of efficiently dealing with these vast collections of data while st
Our thesis, The Valley Of Trust, attempts to build upon current literature on cultural diversity and its effect on trust by answering the question; How does cultural diversity affect trust within an international team? With the purpose of giving a more nuanced understanding of the role of cultural diversity and its impact on trust within international teams, we build upon the current literature an
Economic theory often suggests congestion pricing to smooth the demand for traffic from periods of high demand to periods with lower demand. However, the real-world implementation of con- gestion charges remains limited. This study investigates the relationship between time-varying congestion charges and traffic volumes. By applying a difference-in-difference (DiD) method on hourly level traffic d

Despite, the fact that we now have highly powerful and reliable CPU cores from System on Chip (SoC) Intellectual Property (IP) giants, the silicon industry is still leaning toward an efficient CPU core with an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) at the moment, where RISC-V has proven to be extremely successful. The aim to customize an open-source processor core, as described in our thes
This study investigates the concept of Selective Intentional Non-Compliance (SINC) in aviation. Deliberate, context-driven deviations from procedures motivated by safety in response to dynamic operational conditions. Based on a survey of 39 European commercial pilots, we analysed the prevalence, motivations, and perceived outcomes of procedural deviations. Nearly 43% reported deviating from s
Building on previous work on the agenda-shaping powers of the Council Presidency, this heuristic case study identifies and explores a set of important factors that influence the Presidency´s ability to shape the EU-political agenda. The primary material consists of a set of interviews with Portuguese and Commission officials, treating the Portuguese Presidency in 2007. Four main findings are discu
