BackgroundThe Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is the most widely used standardised screener for impairments across a range of cognitive domains. However, the degree to which its domains (orientation, registration, attention, recall, language, and visuospatial) capture cognitive functioning measured using standardised neuropsychological tests is unclear.MethodA longitudinal research design wit

Background: Chronic breathlessness adversely impacts people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and their caregivers (family and friends), who may, in turn, experience significant burden due to their caregiving role. Sustained-release morphine may reduce chronic breathlessness in some patients, which may have an impact on caregivers’ perceived burden. Aim: To explore the impact on caregiver

ObjectivesResearch on personality seeks to understand what makes people similar or distinct from another. However, there is still a limited understanding of processes that underpin an individual’s personality, such as interactions with other psychological dispositions such as trait mindfulness. Elucidating the unique relationships between mindfulness and personality traits with network analysis ca

Recent use of public libraries as political symbols by the radical right in their challenge of the established consensus in Swedish cultural policy is part of an ongoing (re)politicization of the field of cultural policy. This paper frames this development as part of a post-political condition of Swedish cultural and library policy. Through an analysis of previous research, policy, and policy deba

Yanilda González has written a landmark study addressing a highly contentious issue of our time: the persistence of authoritarian policing practices in numerous countries, despite their transition to democracy. The central question explored in the book is how to reform the police bureaucracy, an institution tasked with ensuring security but often becoming the primary source of insecurity for citiz

Kometer har alltid fascinerat människan då de till skillnad från stjärnor och andra objekt på natthimlen rör sig över den. De består av is som frigör gas när kometen kommer tillräckligt nära solen. Gasen ser ut som en svans och ger kometen dess karakteristiska utseende. Förr i tiden saknade människan kunskap om dessa kroppar och de väckte rädsla. Kometer sågs som dåliga omen och tecken på gudarnasComets have been a source of fascination throughout the history of man. In recent years, advances in technology have opened up for the study of extrasolar objects, among them exocomets. The first exocomets were observed in the β Pictoris system almost 50 years ago and the system has been of interest ever since. Still, it is not clearly known where these bodies originate from and how they end up in

In Amazonia, interfluvial groups such as the Naduhup (Makú) peoples of the northwest Amazon have tended to be less visible than riverine peoples in the historical record, but are also more likely to maintain their cultural and linguistic identity over time. Hence the languages of these groups may offer insights into Indigenous histories that have otherwise been largely overlooked or obliterated. L

Under 2022 genomgick LAS en omfattande förändring. 7 § 1 st LAS om upp-sägning av personliga skäl har ändrats från krav på saklig grund till sakliga skäl och samtidigt gjorts semidispositiv i syfte att öka förutsebarheten. Reformen avsåg att göra det tydligt att avtalsbrottets allvar och omständigheterna vid uppsägningstillfället är det avgörande. Uppsatsen avser att utreda om reformen innebär någIn 2022, 7 § Employment Protection Act underwent a comprehensive change. Dismissal for personal reasons has been changed from a requirement on a factual basis to factual reasons and at the same time made semi-dispositive with the aim of increasing predictability. The reform intended to make it clear that the seriousness of the breach of contract and the circumstances at the time of termination are

Under många år har passiviteten varit en relativt underordnad figur i svensk rätt. På senare tid har dock Högsta domstolen lämnat flera avgöranden där passiviteten särskiljs från andra liknande institut som reklamation och preskription. Från att enbart handla om försittande av tid har passivitet blivit erkänd som allmän princip med flera rättsregler som följd. Uppsatsen gör inget anspråk på att For many years, passivity has been a relatively minor figure in Swedish law. In later years however, the Supreme Court has rendered several verdicts concerning passivity, complaint, and statutes of limitation. Recent precedents have transferred passivity from being considered part of complaint rules with limited legal impact into what is now considered more a principle of law, with several rules

Skattelagstiftning styrs av principer, som ibland kan säga emot varandra och då behöva vägas mot varandra. I förarbeten redogör lagstiftaren för hur denna bedömning ser ut, och det är möjligt att genom förarbeten analysera vilka principer lagstiftaren behandlar, hur de behandlas och hur de vägs mot varandra. Det finns olika sätt att dela in skatterättsliga principer; ett sätt är att dela in dem i Tax law is governed by principles, that sometimes may contradict each other and then need to be weighed against each other. In preparatory works the lawmaker gives their account for how the assessment of principles looks like, and it’s possible through preparatory works to analyse which principles the lawmaker considers, how they’re considered, and how they’re weighed against each other. There are

I mängdreglerade entreprenadavtal förtecknar beställaren arbetena som entreprenören ska utföra i en mängdförteckning. Entreprenören prissätter sedan mängdförteckningen genom att ange ett à-pris för respektive enhet arbete. I mängdförteckningen finns en preliminär uppskattad mängd för varje typ av arbete. Mängden är typiskt sett reglerbar vilket innebär att mängden arbete mäts upp när entreprenörenIn quantity-regulated construction contracts, the work that the contractor must perform is listed in a bill of quantities. The contractor then prices the bill of quantities by specifying a price for each type of work. Within the bill of quantities, there is a preliminary estimated quantity for each type of work. This quantity is typically adjustable, meaning that the amount of work is measured whe

This study deals with segmental articulations based on acceleration signals from EMA data. We test how well the one-to-one relationship between acceleration peaks and segment boundaries (as described within the framework of the Descriptive Approach to Segmental Articulations) works across different prosodic levels in Swedish, here: focused and unfocused position, with the assumption of a positive
