Denna avhandling belyser välbefinnandeprocesser utifrån två olika angreppssätt: 1)dels teoretiska beskrivningar av personligt växande, där personligt växandedefinieras som den gradvisa processen av förändring i välbefinnande, 2) delsempiriska undersökningar av välbefinnande och mental hälsa med fokus på eleversmentala hälsoprofiler och självuppfattning. Sammanlagt ingår fem studier iavhandlingen, This thesis follows two main lines of inquiry into well-being processes: 1) atheoretical exploration of personal growth, defined as the gradual growth of wellbeing, and 2) an empirical exploration of students’ mental health profiles and sense of self. Altogether five studies are included in the thesis, two of which follow thefirst line of inquiry (articles I and II) and three of which follow the s

Context: DevOps has recently become a mainstream solution for bridging the gaps between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) enabling cross-functional collaboration. The DevOps concept of continuous monitoring may bring a lot of benefits to development teams such as early detection of run-time errors and various performance anomalies. Objective: We aim to explore deep learning (DL) solutions for

BACKGROUNDThe evidence for temperature control for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest is inconclusive. Controversy exists as to whether the effects of hypothermia differ per the circumstances of the cardiac arrest or patient characteristics.METHODSAn individual patient data meta-analysis of the Targeted Temperature Management at 33°C versus 36°C after Cardiac Arrest (TTM) and Hypothermia versus

Recent assessments of the literature on the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804) offer radically different images, ranging from the identification of a politics of universal human rights to objections against conservative assumptions. The present article instead uncovers an overarching conflict between what is named the universality paradigm and the sceptical responses. However, in the outskirts of the

Open science and collaboration are necessary to facilitate the advancement of Parkinson’s disease (PD) research. Hackathons are collaborative events that bring together people with different skill sets and backgrounds to generate resources and creative solutions to problems. These events can be used as training and networking opportunities, thus we coordinated a virtual 3-day hackathon event, duri

The Paris Agreement includes the goals of ‘holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industriallevels’ and ‘making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions’. Industrial energy efficiency will playan important role in meeting those goals as well as becoming a competitive advantage due to reduced costs for companies. The al

Stereo work, released as part of the 'strengur' album, released by Carrier Recordings in 2022. The work uses AI renderings by David Brynjar Franzson as part of its material. The composition reworks recordings with performers Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir, Nguyen Thanh Thuy, Halla Lovísa Loftsdóttir and Árný Inga Pálsdóttir.

Solo violin part and electronics. The electronic part builds on an archival recording with Halla Lovísa Loftsdóttir (voice) and includes also reworking of improvisation by Nguyen Thanh Thuy (dan tranh). Loftsdóttir's performance is a vocalising of passion hymns, written in the Lutheran meditation style by priest and poet Hallgrímur Pétursson, first published in 1666. The archival recording is foun

Background: The right internal jugular vein is currently recommended for temporary central dialysis catheters (tCDC) based on results from previous studies showing a lower incidence of central vein stenosis compared to the subclavian vein. Data is however conflicting, and there are several advantages when the subclavian route is used for tCDCs. This prospective, controlled, randomised, non-inferio

About 40 years ago, a subpopulation of small neurons in the cerebellar nuclei was shown to project to the inferior olive, the source of the climbing fiber input to the cerebellum. This nucleo-olivary projection follows the zonal and probably also microzonal arrangement of the cerebellum so that closed loops are formed between the neurons in the olive, the cerebellar cortex, and the nuclei. Althoug

Permafrost-affected ecosystems are subject to warming and thawing, which can increase the availability of subsurface nitrogen (N) with consequences in otherwise N-limited tundra and alpine vegetation. Here, we quantify the extent of warming and permafrost thawing and the corresponding effects on nitrogen availability and plant growth based on a 20-year survey across 14 sites on the Tibetan Plateau
