Intraspecific variation in phenotypic plasticity can affect the ability of populations, and thus species, to respond to environmental changes. However, the prevalence and drivers of such variation are not well known. Most proposed explanations for intraspecific variation in phenotypic plasticity involve mechanisms associated with a population's position within the species' geographic range or the

Particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) is an enzyme that converts methane into methanol at ambient temperature and pressure. Over the past three decades, the metal content and location of the active site have been highly controversial. Recent single-particle cryogenic electron-microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have furthered this debate. In this study, three cryo-EM structures (PDB entries 7s4h, 7

Introduction As care and rehabilitation poststroke are increasingly moving into persons’ home environment, the importance of support from social networks in self-management and rehabilitation has emerged as an important topic for research and practice. While there are instruments used to assess social support and collective efficacy, a clearer scope of the availability and quality of these instrum

Rationale: A care bundle approach to the management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been shown to benefit patients in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), but uncertainty persists over the specific components and its applicability in high-income countries (HICs). Aims: An international collaborative initiative aimed at determining whether implementation of a care bundle impro

With the rapid development of blood biomarkers (BBMs) related to amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD), the question arises whether these can replace the accepted reference standard, positron emission tomography (PET), for assessing Aβ burden. BBMs can differentiate Aβ status reliably in cognitively impaired patients, but two-threshold strategies to further improve their performance

This study investigates how rescue service response times and staffing solutions relate to both citizen satisfaction with rescue services and the adoption of individual fire safety measures in Sweden. Data were drawn from Statistics Sweden's satisfaction index, rescue service response times from KOLADA, and survey data from the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency on ownership of functional smoke de

In this chapter, I describe how technological progress triggers and shapes structural change within the economy and society, which in turn—if the resulting changes are significant enough—may shift the scope and outcome of established legislation and regulatory frameworks. The argument presented focuses on the ongoing digitalization, using its common technological characteristics to identify and de

En av de vanligaste frågorna som brukar ställas till astronomer är om det finns liv någon annanstans i universum. Vi har ännu inget enkelt svar. Framsteg mot ett svar på denna fråga görs lite i taget. Den här avhandlingen är ett av dessa steg.Min forskning är inriktad på atmosfärerna hos så kallade "ultra-hot Jupiters": planeter i Jupiters storlek som kretsar så nära sina stjärnor att de hettas upOne of the biggest questions people ask astronomers is whether life exists elsewhere in the universe. Unfortunately, we don’t yet have an answer. Instead, progress towards an answer comes in small, careful steps. This thesis is one of those steps.My research has focused on the atmospheres of "ultra-hot Jupiters": planets the size of Jupiter that orbit so close to their stars they are heated to tho

In this master’s thesis we propose a DensePose-based person re-identification (re-ID) machine learning algorithm building upon previous research on this topic. DensePose, a deep neural network that performs human body part segmentation on images, forms the foundation of our approach. We investigate whether utilization of DensePose can enhance performance on re-ID algorithms with the utilization of

The purpose of this study is to understand if elderly visitors in senior centers around Helsingborg feel some type of loneliness and how senior centers can contribute to the feeling of fellowship with other visitors. The aim was towards their experience where we had seven participants who answered our interview questions, which we later summoned to four who all happened to be of the female gender.

Barn har ett särskilt skyddsvärde och när de utsätts för brottsliga gärningar har de, precis som vuxna, ett behov av upprättelse men också en rätt att få uppleva att rättvisa skipas för att få ett avslut på brottsupplevelsen. I Sverige tillmäts den rättsliga hanteringen av unga brottsoffer stor betydelse för utgången i målet och det ställs således höga krav på att barnets särskilda behov tas i beaChildren have a specific need for protection and especially when subject to criminal acts. Similar to adults, children also have a need for redress and a right to experience that justice will be served in order to find a closure to the process associated with crime victimization. In Sweden, the legal treatment of young victims of crime is of great importance for criminal judgement and thus high de

Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har sedan länge särbehandlats inom straffrätten. I Sverige aktualiseras numera särbehandlingen vid påföljdsvalet. För att påföljdsvalet överhuvudtaget ska komma på fråga krävs att gärningspersonen kan tillskrivas skuld; antingen genom uppsåt eller, vid vissa särreglerade brott, oaktsamhet. Eftersom uppsåt inte är objektivt iakttagbart är uppsåtsbedömningen vanligen eMentally disordered offenders have been specially treated in criminal law for a long time. In Sweden, the special treatment occurs when the choice of sanction is decided. The choice of sanction only becomes relevant when the perpetrator is attributed debt; either through criminal intent or, in certain regulations, negligence. Since criminal intent is not objectively observable, the intent assessme

För att FN skulle kunna bildas efter andra världskriget fanns det ett krav från de fem stormaktsländerna att de skulle få en rätt till veto i FN:s säkerhetsråd. Då behovet av en global organisation var stor efter andra världskriget gick övriga medlemmar med på att dessa fem länder skulle få en vetorätt. Vetorätten har inneburit att de fem permanenta medlemmarna i säkerhetsrådet alltid har haft mIn order to establish the UN after world war II, the then five great powers of the world required to have a veto right in the UN Security Council. The other members agreed to this as there were a fundamental need to create a global organization of this nature. The veto right has resulted in that the permanent members of the Security Council always have had the ability to vote against proposals an

In recent years, digital technologies provided new affordances for movement leaders as communication strategies in political protests in order to advance democratisation processes, especially in less developed countries. In Ethiopia, numerous protests have been taken place lately, which were mainly organised along ethnic lines on the basis of nationalist sentiments. Political activists in Tigray,

Introduction: The addition of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to interval cytoreductive surgery (CRS) improves recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with FIGO stage III ovarian cancer. We evaluated the effect of HIPEC on patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the OVHIPEC trial. Materials and methods: OVHIPEC was a multicentre, open-label, random
