Inom forskningen refererar självskadebeteende till beteenden med låg dödlighet och där suicidintention är osannolikt, så som att skära, slå, och bränna sig själv. Denna avhandling ämnade undersöka; i) mental hälsa och välmående bland svenska unga vuxna som har slutat skada sig sedan tonåren, och ii) de psykosociala faktorerna som bidrar till att en slutar skada sig och mår bättre under denna perioNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is an umbrella term for non-lethal behaviours that are unlikely to be intended as suicidal, such as cutting, hitting, or burning oneself. The aims of this dissertation were to investigate i) the mental health and well-being of Swedish young adults who have ceased engaging in NSSI since adolescence, and ii) the psychosocial conditions that facilitate NSSI cessation a

Bronchial and alveolar remodeling and impaired epithelial function are characteristics of chronic respiratory diseases. In these patients, an increased number of mast cells (MCs) positive for serine proteases, tryptase and chymase, infiltrate the epithelium and alveolar parenchyma. However, little is known regarding the implication of intraepithelial MCs on the local environment, such as epithelia

This essay deals with the early trans movement in Sweden, which started in the sixties. Through the personal archive of Eva-Lisa Bengtson, activist and co-founder, it presents the groups Transvestia and FPE-NE (Full personality Expression, Northern Europe) as the first organisations to be started by and for any gender non-conforming people in Sweden. Their primary target group were heterosexual, m

With ongoing climate change, aridity is increasing worldwide, affecting biodiversity and ecosystem function in drylands. However, how the depth-profile microbial community structure and metabolic limitations change along aridity gradients are still poorly explored. Here, 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing and ecoenzymatic stoichiometry analysis were used to investigate both bacterial and fungal

Climate City Contracts or CCCs are being developed in the context of a larger mission, with many stakeholders, funding, and growing momentum, hopefully providing a new force, legitimacy, and inspiration to ongoing urban climate actions. CCCs differ from current strategies for tackling climate change in cities because they are being developed in the context of the mission approach to tackle some of

Dehydrogenation reactions that produce molecular hydrogen are thermodynamically unfavourable. Desired is to couple them with a green driving force, such as oxidation with oxygen or an electric current. This, in turn, requires understanding of the catalyst's redox properties. Here we report oxidation of the iridium pincer complexes (POCOP)IrHCl (POCOP = 2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3; 1a) and (PCP)IrHCl (PCP =

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a biologically and clinically heterogeneous disease, emphasizing the need for prognostic biomarkers. In this study we aimed at comparing the prognostic value of two RNA-based risk scores, circSCORE and MCL35, in 149 patients from the MCL2 (ISRCTN87866680) and MCL3 (NCT00514475) patient cohorts. Both risk scores provided significant stratification of high versus low ri

Collecting and utilizing data in industrial production are becoming increasingly important. One promising approach to utilize data is the concept of digital twin (DT). DTs are virtual representations of physical assets, updated by real data and enhanced by models. This paper provides an overview of DTs for cutting processes. After giving a definition, we discuss requirements derived from represent

Understanding of mass transfer in gas-liquid slug flow is imperative to design and optimize micro-reactors. There exist extensive studies on symmetric bubbles by the phase volume monitor technique, whereas deformed bubbles are rarely studied due to the limitation of volume calculation methods. In this work, CO2-water and N2-water two-phase flows were investigated in a square microchannel, obtainin

Purpose: Internal herniation (IH) is the most common complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB). Although primary closure has reduced the incidence, recurrences are a continued problem. This study aimed to investigate long-term follow-up and recurrence risk of IH surgery. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of laparoscopic RYGB operated patients operated for a first IH between Ap

Climate change affects the functioning of all of the components of food systems, often in ways that exacerbate existing predicaments and inequalities among regions of the world and groups in society. At the same time, food systems are a major cause of climate change, accounting for a third of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, food systems can and should play a much bigger role in clim

Background: Distal biceps tendon ruptures commonly occur in active men, and surgical repair through a single-incision technique using suture anchors has become common. The current study assessed whether an anatomic repair of the biceps to the radial tuberosity can be consistently achieved through a single-incision technique. Methods: Acute distal biceps tendon repairs using the single-incision tec

Eccentric exercises are commonly used as a treatment for various muscle and tendon injuries. During complex motions such as the forward lunge, however, it is not always clear which muscles may be contracting eccentrically and at what time. Because this exercise is used during rehabilitation, the purpose of this investigation was to determine what type of contractions take place during two differen

Eight healthy male subjects had intra-cortical bone-pins inserted into the proximal tibia and distal femur. Three reflective markers were attached to each bone-pin and four reflective markers were mounted on the skin of the tibia and thigh, respectively. Roentgen-stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA) was used to determine the anatomical reference frame of the tibia and femur. Knee joint motion was

Realizing ordered structures at the molecular level is a key approach to increase the charge mobility of organic semiconductors. However, the typical solution-based methods employed for the processing make the achievement of well-organized organic nanostructures difficult with the favored formation of disordered assemblies. To realize well-ordered thin films, one needs to design conjugated materia

The modern rigid alpine ski boot has been associated with an increase in severe knee joint injuries. A new design that allows the rear portion of the upper cuff of the boot (rear spoiler) to open when a posterior directed force is applied to it (similar to when a skier falls back on the ski) is investigated. Motion analysis was combined with kinetic measures to estimate the shear and compressive f

For the first time, this book presents the complete collection of Greek inscriptions of Gebel el-Silsila East – Ancient Egypt’s largest and most important sandstone quarry, including lists of names and professions of individuals involved in the quarry expeditions.

Interfaces play a crucial role in determining perovskite solar cells, (PSCs) performance and stability. It is therefore of great importance to constantly work toward improving their design. This study shows the advantages of using a hole-transport material (HTM) that can anchor to the perovskite surface through halogen bonding (XB). A halo-functional HTM (PFI) is compared to a reference HTM (PF),
