Market making and optimal portfolio liquidation in the context of electronic limit order books are of considerably practical importance for high frequency (HF) market makers as well as more traditional brokerage firms supplying optimal execution services for clients. In general, the two problems are based on probabilistic models defined on certain reference probability spaces. However, due to unce
The aim of this population-based registry study was to explore how cancer influences the health of partners, by examining the onset of new diagnoses for partners, health care use and health care costs among partners living with patients with cancer. The sample consisted of partners of patients with cancer (N = 10 353) and partners of age- and sex-matched controls who did not have cancer (N = 74 59
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice for noninvasive studies of micrometer-scale structures in biological tissues via their effects on the time- and frequency-dependent (restricted) and anisotropic self-diffusion of water. While new designs of time-dependent magnetic field gradient waveforms have enabled disambiguation between different aspects of translational motion that are
This article is about finding the limit set for banded Toeplitz matrices. Our main result is a new approach to approximate the limit set Λ(b), where b is the symbol of the banded Toeplitz matrix. The new approach is geometrical and based on the formula Λ(b) = ∩ρ∊(0, ∞) sp T (bρ), where ρ is a scaling factor, i.e., bρ(t):= b(ρt), and sp(∙) denotes the spectrum. We show that the full intersection ca
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is a costly and morbid disease with the first presentation often with a fragility fracture. The purpose of this study was to assess whether Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements on shoulder computed tomography could identify patients at risk of osteoporosis and aid in its diagnosis.METHODS: We identified patients who had both a computed tomography scan of the glenoid and a dua
In this study, we investigated the prevalence of mental disorders and the use of psychopharmacologic drugs among individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). We studied how the association between CP and mental illness develops over the life course (between ages 5 and 65 years), and how it varies across disability specific factors (intellectual disability, gross motor function and communicative ability).
In five sentence continuation studies we investigated how different forms of negation (negative quantifier, clausal negation, lexical negation) impact discourse structure in Swedish. We looked at what set of referents (the reference set for which some property holds, or the complement set, for which the property does not hold) speakers considered most noteworthy (speaker salient), and what form th
This chapter examines a population of third language (L3) learners that has received little attention, namely heritage speaker (HS) L3 learners, who grow up speaking two languages in early childhood. Unlike traditionally studied L3 learners, who acquired their L2 as older children, HSs have two naturalistically acquired languages to draw from, which has been suggested to have implications for L3 a
Background: Swedish municipalities are facing demographic challenges due to the growing number of older people and the resulting increased need for health care services. Welfare technologies are being launched as possible solutions for meeting some of these challenges. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the perception, experimentation, evaluation, and procurement of welfare technology
Background: The transition process from being an occupational therapy student to becoming an occupational therapist has been shown to be stressful, with an increased risk of burnout and job turnover. Consequently, there is a need to gain a deeper understanding of this process in order to identify ways of making it easier. Aims/objectives: To describe newly graduated Swedish occupational therapists
The focus of this study is the direct interactions of the local turbulent fields and single drops inside the anisotropic turbulent field of a high-pressure homogenizer valve scale-up model. A volume of fluid scheme is incorporated into a direct numerical simulation approach to study the deformation and breakup of drops. The numerical framework was validated by experiments in a previous study. Ther
The Swedish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (SCND) fought the military’s plans to acquire Swedish nuclear weapons and protested the nuclear arms race, 1961–1967. This article presents SCND’s ideological orientation by focusing on temporalities. SCND saw the Second World War as a decisive event and tried to avert a crisis and a dystopia by manifesting remembrance of past nuclear detonations, and b
We introduce empirical work on Romance language acquisition withrespect to the interfaces of syntax with other modules of grammar (internal interfaces)and other domains of cognition (external interfaces). We do so by choosing specificphenomena within the following interfaces: syntax-morphology, syntax-semanticsand syntax-pragmatics. In the domain of syntax-morphology we focus on grammaticalgender,
As the population of the world increases, there will be a larger number of people with major neurocognitive disorder and anemerging need for prompt diagnosis and treatment. A digital cognitive test could lead to that more people can be tested withoutburdening healthcare. To explore elderly’s experiences of using a digital cognitive test a cognitive healthy population of 70-year-oldswere recruited
Background: We have previously demonstrated that high-risk obstructive sleep apnea (HR-OSA), based on a modified Berlin Questionnaire (mBQ), is linked to worse clinical outcomes. Chest computed tomography (CT) imaging with the implementation of an artificial intelligence (AI) analysis program has been a valuable tool for the speedy assessment of huge numbers of patients during the COVID-19 epidemi
Background: Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are associated with long-term complications after heart transplantation (HTx). Everolimus (EVR)-based immunosuppression allows for CNI withdrawal. We used data from The Scandinavian heart transplant everolimus de novo study with early CNI avoidance (SCHEDULE) trial to assess whether health-related quality of life (HRQoL) differed between patients on long-t
We consider two continuous-time generalizations of conservative random walks introduced in Englander and Volkov (2022), an orthogonal and a spherically symmetrical one; the latter model is also known as random flights. For both models, we show the transience of the walks when d ≥ 2 and that the rate of direction changing follows a power law t-α, 0 < α ≤ 1, or the law (In t)-β where β ≥ 2.
