The relationship between emotion regulation, social interaction and different types of restricted and repetitive behaviors is poorly understood. In the present study, structural equation modeling based on information about 239 individuals with autism was used to examine whether emotion regulation and social communication were associated with self-injury and stereotyped behaviors. Results showed th

The stability of albumin, protein HC, immunoglobulin G, κ- and λ-chain immunoreactivity, orosomucoid and α1 -antitrypsin in urine stored at -20°C for up to 24 months was investigated. Significant decreases of the median concentration values for protein HC, IgG and α1-antitrypsin were observed for native urine. Addition to urine of a preservative solution containing benzamidinium chloride, EDTA, tr

Pragmadialektiikan maailmanvalloitus alkoi kaksikymmentäviisi vuotta sitten. Tänään se on yhtä tunnettu kuin jo viisikymmentä vuotta täyttäneet Toulminin ja Perelmanin uraauurtavat argumentaation teoriat. Arviot pragmadialektiikasta kuitenkin vaihtelevat huomattavan paljon. J. Anthony Blair on esimerkiksi luonnehtinut sitä maailman tärkeimmäksi argumentaation teoriaksi tänä päivänä. John Woodsin m

Urbanization is gaining force globally, which challenges biodiversity, and it has recently also emerged as an agent of evolutionary change. Seasonal phenology and life cycle regulation are essential processes that urbanization is likely to alter through both the urban heat island effect (UHI) and artificial light at night (ALAN). However, how UHI and ALAN affect the evolution of seasonal adaptatio

The bromovinyl radical has been prepared by the reaction of bromine atoms with acetylene in an argon matrix at 17 K and its i.r. spectrum has been studied. The spectrum of C2HDBr• shows the presence of two isomers, indicating that the radical has an unsymmetric structure.

Recent theoretical developments in growth models, triggered particularly by unified theories of growth, suggest that the child quantity-quality trade-off is a defining element in our explanation of a transition from Malthusian stagnation to a sustained growth path. This paper presents a model and derive a testable empirical framework to investigate the role of gender in the trade-off between educa

Reactive settling denotes the process of sedimentation of small solid particles dispersed in a viscous fluid with simultaneous reactions between the components that constitute the solid and liquid phases. This process is of particular importance for the simulation and control of secondary settling tanks (SSTs) in water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs), formerly known as wastewater treatment pl

This chapter provides an overview of some historical struggles against domination that are based in ‘radical religious’ communities. Yet what qualifies as ‘religious’ and ‘radical’ is very open to interpretation, and typical interpretations of ‘religion’ in particular often betray a colonial mindset which this chapter seeks to problematise. By presenting a deliberately broad range of examples and

Relative clauses have traditionally been said to have an antecedent or a correlate corresponding to a coreferent, missing, and relativized constituent in the relative clause (some representative works on relative clauses are mentioned in the list of references). Referent grammar (Sigurd, 1987) assumes referent variables in the syntactic representations of noun phrases and it is natural to assume t

Mice (Mus musculus) have a high basal rate of metabolism which increases during pregnancy and lactation. During peak lactation, water intake amounts to up to 65 % of the bodyweight per day. Providing water in a bottle may pose a restriction of water intake and lead to dehydration during periods of high demand, such as peak lactation. To establish if female mice are able to sustain a physiological

Homelessness is a growing global problem. Homelessness produces and reinforces social exclusion. The main reason for homelessness is that there is a shortage of housing available to people with low incomes. Counteracting homelessness requires housing policy initiatives that make it possible for people with low incomes to have access to housing. At the same time people who are homeless must receive

In this chapter I take Barthes’ concept of transported immobility and allow it to travel from the dining car of a French train to the forests of Sweden and to my own experience of living in a digital media blackout zone. In ‘Dining Car’, Barthes’ reflects on the contrary experience of eating an elaborate meal in an upscale restaurant carriage. This entire mise-en-scene Barthes’ describes as a ‘mir

Objective In 2015, new FIGO guidelines for CTG interpretation were presented (FIGO-15). In 2017, the previous Swedish guidelines (SWE-09) were replaced with guidelines adapted to FIGOs (SWE-17). The performance of these three templates had not been scientifically evaluated before its clinical implementation. The objective of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity to detect fetal

Purpose: This study aimed to describe extended collaboration in situations when an ambulance was called, as experienced by older patients, a significant other, and ambulance- and primary healthcare (PHC) centre personnel. Methods: The study used a phenomenological reflective lifeworld research (RLR) approach. Participants included in three specific situations with extended collaboration were inter

Lymphocytes from five non‐tumor‐bearing male W/Fu rats infected with human adenovirus type‐9 as newborns or as adults share a common reactivity against rat mammary fibroadenoma target cells and rat mammary carcinoma target cells, as demonstrated by microcytotoxicity tests. Mammary fibroadenomas were induced by adenovirus type‐9 infection of newborn female W/Fu rats, littermates of three of the mal

A waveguide boundary spectral finite element method (SFEM) is developed for the study of acoustical wave propagation in non-uniform waveguide-like geometries. The formulation is based on a variational approach using a mixture of non-internal node element shape functions and wave solutions. The numerical method provides solutions to acoustic duct or fluid waveguide environments which may be divided
