Tveksamhet mot vaccin har tidigare undersökts både globalt och inom nationer, genom såväl demografiska och socioekonomiska faktorer som politisk och ideologisk orientering hos de personer som har erbjudits vaccin. Skillnader i vaccinationstäckning har föreslagits vara geografiskt strukturerat, kopplat till Covid-19 såväl som andra vaccin, och det finns flera exempel på sådan forskning där rumsligaGlobal as well as national vaccine hesitancy have previously been investigated using demographic and socioeconomic factors, as well as political or ideological orientations of the persons offered vaccinations. Variation in vaccine uptakes has been suggested to be geographically structured, in both Covid-19 and other vaccine contexts, and there are several examples of such research applying spatial

The abundance of refractory elements in giant planets can provide key insights into their formation histories1. Owing to the low temperatures of the Solar System giants, refractory elements condense below the cloud deck, limiting sensing capabilities to only highly volatile elements2. Recently, ultra-hot giant exoplanets have allowed for some refractory elements to be measured, showing abundances

Introduction: The presented work evaluates intermolecular interactions and the solvation free energy between a ground and excited state of an iron complex in saline solution using MD simulations. Background: MD simulations are utilized for estimating the solvation free energy in various systems and concentrations of salt. Any changes in the intermolecular interactions that might influence this are

Importance: Nonsuicidal self-injury is prevalent in adolescence and associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Effective interventions that are brief, transportable, and scalable are lacking. Objective: To test the hypotheses that an internet-delivered emotion regulation individual therapy for adolescents delivered adjunctive to treatment as usual is superior to treatment as usual only in reducing

OBJECTIVES: Very early-life conditions are recognized as critical for healthy brain development. This study assesses early-life risk factors for developing dementia. In the absence of historical medical birth records, we leverage an alternative full population approach using demographic characteristics obtained from administrative data to derive proxy indicators for birth complications and unfavor

Grain size affects the rates of aeolian sediment transport on beaches. Sediment in coastal environments typically consists of multiple grain-size fractions and exhibits spatiotemporal variations. Still, conceptual and numerical aeolian transport models are simplified and often only include a single fraction that is constant over the model domain. It is unclear to what extent this simplification is

The construction and general implications of a model with complete supersymmetric unification of the Standard Model matter content, interactions and families' replication into a single E8 gauge superfield in ten dimensions is presented. The gauge and extended Poincaré symmetries are broken through compactification of the T6/(Z3×Z3) orbifold with Wilson lines, which reduces the original symmetry an

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka sambandet mellan hög mobiltelefonanvändning och allmänt mående bland gymnasieelever. Med stöd från två välgrundade teorier: självregleringsteorin och sociala inlärningsteorin, har studien presenterat intressanta korrelationer och samband kring mobilanvändning och allmänt mående. Studien är uppdelad i två olika studier, en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ. KvantiThis study aims to investigate the relationship between high mobile phone use and general well being among high school students. With support from two well-founded theories: the self-regulation theory and the social learning theory, the study has presented interesting correlations and connections around mobile phone use and general ill-health. The study is divided into two studies, one quantitativ

This thesis explores the physics of nanostructures involving nanowires, quantum dots, superconductors, and topological insulators. These systems serve as excellent platforms for fundamental physics studies and quantum technology applications.The introduction contains information on the band structures of crystalline materials and transport phenomena in quantum dots. It is followed by discussions o

Epileptogenesis is a complex process involving a multitude of changes at the molecular, cellular and network level. Previous studies have identified several key alterations contributing to epileptogenesis and the development of hyper-excitability in different animal models, but only a few have focused on the early stages of this process. For post status epilepticus (SE) temporal lobe epilepsy in p

This thesis explores the behavioural effect of carbon labels on conscious food consumption. A constantly increasing awareness of sustainable challenges, transparency for stakeholders and constant development of regulatory guidelines for food labelling communication raise a need for further consumer understanding. By assessing previous observational and quantitative findings on food products'

Differentiation is something that can easily be seen in today’s world, almost everywhere in companies, brands, people, products. It is simply ubiquitous. Cosmetics is an industry in particular where product differentiation in particular now plays an increasingly salient role in allowing firms to stand out from competition; a competition that will never cease to exist. This study explores the very

Using Tobin’s Q as an approximation of firm value, this paper aims to examine the effect of foreign exchange rate derivatives on firm value. Risk management is viewed by many as one of the most vital aspects of corporate- and business strategy. On the topic of risk, foreign exchange rate exposure is a distinctive form of risk confronted by numerous internationally operating firms. The mitigation o

Diabetes is associated with excess morbidity and mortality due to both micro- and macrovascular complications, as well as a range of non-classical comorbidities. Diabetes-associated microvascular complications are those considered most closely related to hyperglycaemia in a causal manner. However, some individuals with hyperglycaemia (even those with severe hyperglycaemia) do not develop microvasc

This master thesis is conducted in collaboration with Opticept Technologies, a company operating in the Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) treatment industry. PEF treatment necessitates the use of high-voltage machines, and this thesis focuses on exploring a mechanical disconnector that serves as an essential safety feature for such high-voltage systems. The thesis examines relevant standards and del

In the last 10 years, sustainability has been in focus and cities are being designed to prioritize sustainable alternatives. Today, narrowing the carriageway is used as an alternative to make way for sustainable alternatives in the existing street space. The purpose of this study is to investigate the consequences narrowing the lane can have on the lifespan of the road structure and what damage it
