Methods: We created a pool of 100 items based on the real-world experience of autistic people, and a multidisciplinary team and sta

Positive Network Systems : Heuristic Methods and Opinion Dynamics

The analysis of interconnected systems is a large and growing field, with successful applications in a wide range of natural and synthesized systems. Biomolecular networks, power grids and human social dynamics have all been the subject of study through the lens of network dynamics, with impressive results. The work presented in this thesis takes the form of four research papers all focusing in di

The aim of this study was to investigate different forms and sources of Fe in relation to colorectal cancer risk in a Chinese population. A total of 2138 patients with colorectal cancer and 2144 sex- and age-matched (5-year interval) controls were recruited from July 2010 to November 2017. Dietary informa

Effects of chocolate-based products intake on blood glucose, insulin and ghrelin levels and on satiety in young people: a cross-over experimental study

This cross-over experimental study aimed to examine the effects of filled chocolate consumption on blood glucose, insulin and ghrelin levels in 20 volunteers. After a one-week run-in period, study participants consumed two chocolate-based products, the tested biscuit or water for 21 days as a morning snack. After a two-week wash-out period, participants consumed another tested food for another 21
