Sports-related concussions may cause white matter injuries and persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS). We hypothesized that athletes with PPCS would have neurocognitive impairments and white matter abnormalities that could be revealed by advanced neuroimaging using ultra-high field strength diffusion tensor (DTI) and diffusion kurtosis (DKI) imaging metrics and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarSports-related concussions may cause white matter injuries and persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS).

This book studies the interplay of economic philosophy and moral conduct as reflected in the writings of one of the most renowned scholars in Islamic history, Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 1111). Al-Ghazālī contributed to Islamic theology, philosophy, and Sufism but is also regarded as one of the forerunners of classical economic thought in Islamic tradition.Al-Ghazālī made seminal contributions to the

In increasingly digitalised societies, government initiatives to ensure that public services remain accessible for everyone typically focus on the digital inclusion of older adults. However, by solely viewing older adults as passive recipients or consumers of services, digital inclusion strategies under-emphasise the concept of digital participation. Highlighting the importance of older adults as

Health services will change dramatically as the prevalence of home healthcare increases. Only technologically advanced acute care will be performed in hospitals. This-along with the increased healthcare needs of people with long-term conditions such as stroke and the rising demand for services to be more person-centred-will place pressure on healthcare to consider quality across the continuum of c

Under the Sign of Regret focuses on aesthetically mediated responses to regret. It interrogates the qualities of the feeling of regret as well as what is produced under its influence (as objects and as experiences). These two aims—considering regret as a mode and as a tool—hinge between two complementary definitions of aesthetics: on the one hand, the quality of feelings or the “distribution of th

Introduction eHealth, defined by WHO as: “the transfer of health resources and healthcare by electronic means” are expected to increase communication between healthcare providers and patients and increase accessibility and patient participation in healthcare. The aim of this research programme is to: 1) develop a sustainable multidisciplinary environment for advancing, evaluating, and implementin

Asymmetry. What is in the word? One kind of asymmetry is asymmetrical coaction, that is, when actors relate in different ways to one another and/or partake differently in an action done together. Coaction requires that the actors acting together, during the process, reach an enlarged mentality (Arendt, Lectures on Kant’s Political Philosophy), either through putting themselves in the position of o

This thesis is a collection of three empirical papers that tests hypotheses within the context of two related and intersecting theoretical frameworks: rational expectations and efficient markets. The aim is to empirically explore to what extent households form their inflation expectations in a rational manner, and to explain why households’ perceptions may deviate from the measured official rate.

Aktieägaravtal existerar i gränslandet mellan aktiebolagsrätt och avtalsrätt. Till följd av det uppkommer svåra frågor om vilken verkan avtalet anses medföra, och vilka faktorer som påverkar ett ställningstagande i frågan. Länge har det hävdats att aktiebolagsrättsliga överväganden inte inverkar på den obligationsrättsliga verkan av aktieägaravtal. Det synsättet har motiverats av en föreställning

Misshandel är ett begrepp vi i allmänhet förknippar med allvarligt våld mot en, helt eller delvis, försvarslös part. Våld mot den enskilde är en gärning som kriminaliserats i lag då samhället ser den som klandervärd både i Sverige och Danmark. Rättsordningen har till syfte att skydda den enskildes intresse, och i vissa fall till och med skydda den enskilde från sig själv. Det man ofta inte tänker Assault is a concept we generally associate with serious violence against a, wholly or partly, defenceless party. Violence against an individual is an act the society has criminalized because of the danger and effect it can have on the party concerned. The purpose of the legal system is to protect the individual´s interest, and in some cases even protecting the individual from himself. Even if the

A crucial yet unanswered question in the entrepreneurial domain is why men tend to receive more venture capital funding than women. As venture capitalists act as critical gatekeepers who ultimately decide whose ideas, innovations, and products will get a fair chance (Chilazi, 2019), female entrepreneurs have a lower chance of succeeding with their high-growth ventures. This research aims to furthe

Syftet med denna uppsats är att systematisera tolkningsläran för försäkringsavtal. Detta för att undersöka om det går att tolka försäkringsavtal på ett enhetligt sätt samt vilka för- respektive nackdelar det kan finnas med en enhetlig tolkningslära. Vidare syftar uppsatsen till att utreda huruvida tolkningsläran är rättvis, under ett synsätt, att tolkningsläran är ett sätt att uppnå rättvisa. ToThe aim of this paper is to establish and implement a framework for the systematic interpretation of insurance contracts. Specifically, this paper will try and establish a uniform means of interpreting an insurance contract, and identify and assess the negative and positive aspects associated with the adoption of such a system. Furthermore, this paper looks to investigate whether or not the interp

Klimatkompensation genom skogsplantering i Globala Syd har blivit ett allt mer vanligt sätt för företag att åtgärda sina växthusgasutsläpp, och därigenom sälja produkter och tjänster med netto noll utsläpp. I Sverige går snabbmatsrestaurangen MAX Burgers AB ett steg längre.

In Sweden, fast food company MAX Burgers AB goes even further. They offset 10 % more than what they emit through carbon dioxide removal (CDR), thus claiming to have a “climat

Skadeståndsprocesser mot styrelseledamöter har historiskt varit ovanliga i Sverige men antalet fall har ökat på senare år. Styrelseledamöters skadeståndsansvar regleras i 29 kap. 1 § aktiebolagslagen (ABL) och av särskilt intresse för denna framställning är de fall där styrelseledamöterna orsakat skada för bolaget genom dåliga affärsbeslut. I USA skyddas styrelseledamöter i dessa fall av business Claims for damages against board members have historically been unusual in Sweden but have started to increase in recent years. The responsibility of board members is regulated in the 29th chapter 1 § of the Swedish Companies Act (SCA) and of particular interest for this essay are the cases where the board has caused damage upon the company through bad business decisions. In such cases in the US,

This study aims to examine outreach workers’ view of developing trust through communication with young adults living in exposed areas. I seek an understanding of how outreach workers justify and excuse the development of trust and mistrust in the interaction with young adults. The empirical data consists of five semi-structured telephone-interviews with outreach workers who are active in five diff
