BackgroundSuicide is a leading cause of premature mortality worldwide, but the impact of system-level mental health resources remains unclear despite the central role of psychiatric inpatient care and declining bed capacity. Prior research has yielded inconsistent findings with limited control for confounding. We aimed to estimate the effect of psychiatric inpatient bed availability on suicide mor
This chapter addresses ten “themes” (or conclusions). It starts with conclusions on the various themes that the author has addressed in many articles, books, and reports over the decades. Each conclusion constitutes a section heading, followed by some of the arguments in a much shorter form than when the conclusions were reached originally – over the decades. Therefore, much of the text is heavily
This position paper examines the growing dominance of health economics in Swedish healthcare governance and argues that its elevated epistemic authority produces significant risks for the sustainability and ethical integrity of care systems. Drawing on feminist theories of care and critical political economy, the paper interrogates the assumption that care can be adequately represented, valued, or
Co-speech head and eyebrow gestures often align with pitch accents in spoken language production, thereby likely instantiating what we could refer to as multimodal prominence. Indeed, when speech is perceived audio-visually, controlled experimental studies have shown that both pitch accents and head and eyebrow gestures, when independently manipulated, have sizable effects on perceived prominence.
The aim of the creation of this cohort was to investigate patterns of health and health care utilisation before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, overall and in relation to specific diagnoses, among people with intellectual disabilities (ID) compared to the general population. People living in Skåne, the southernmost region of Sweden, on 1st of January 2014 with at least one diagnosis of ID (ICD-1
This article offers a history of the digital music archive at the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR). By looking into archival documents, reviewing interviews and analyzing interfaces, the article examines visions and strategies behind the digital music archive and its in-house platform, /Diskoteket, and based on this the article assesses whether or not DR’s archival strategies play an active ro
Proponents of religious non-doxasticism standardly aim to show how a commitment to traditional religion can be rational in the absence of religious belief. We demonstrate how the non-doxastic framework can be given a much wider application. In a study on Swedish semi-secularity, sociologist Ann af Burén has discovered a pattern where subjects simultaneously entertain naturalistic and supernatural
In many fMRI task-evoked studies, localized brain activity can be detected by GLM fitting and statistical hypothesis testing. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) is the classical method that requires Gaussian pre-smoothing of the data. Instead, the wavelet transform provides a compact representation of activation patterns. Wavelet based SPM (WSPM) is an extension of SPM that combines wavelet proc
In a recent paper we presented a procedure for optimal analyticalcontrol of several deformable mirrors based on only the measured guidestar wavefronts. The expected performance was evaluated for variousguide star configurations using up to three deformable mirrors. Forsimplicity the guide stars were assumed to be infinitely distant. Inthis paper we address the effect of using laser guide stars in
How is it that a group that self-identifies as “religious” and is associated with one of the most dramatic events in the United States during the 1980s could receive almost no attention from religious studies scholars? Furthermore, how is it that the court case in which said group was determined to not qualify as a “religion” has been discussed and challenged by legal scholars while being virtuall
A new method to determine quasi diabatic (QD) CASSCF states is presented. The adiabatic states are subjected to a unitary transformation resulting from diagonalization of a state-selection operator. The latter is constructed from the overlap of the adiabatic states with a suitable set of reference states. The multi-state (MS) CASPT2 method is used to account for the dynamical correlation effects i
