In this study, we use an extension of the heterogeneous autoregressive model to investigate the influence of time-varying risk aversion and macroeconomic, financial, and economic policy uncertainty measures on stock market volatility and correlation. Based on the findings, there is a stronger predictive ability of these variables at the monthly frequency than at the daily frequency. We also highli

Background: Fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a rare and potentially life-threatening bleeding disorder of the fetus/newborn. Antibodies against human platelet antigen 1a (HPA-1a) are associated with the most frequent FNAIT cases. There are no approved therapies for FNAIT prevention or treatment. RLYB211 is a polyclonal HPA-1a hyperimmune IgG being developed to prevent FNAIT. O

Volatile molecules containing hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen are key components of planetary atmospheres. In the pebble accretion model for rocky planet formation, these volatile species are accreted during the main planetary formation phase. For this study, we modelled the partitioning of volatiles within a growing planet and the outgassing to the surface. The core stores more than 90% of the hyd

We present a series of papers dedicated to modelling the accretion and differentiation of rocky planets that form by pebble accretion within the lifetime of the protoplanetary disc. In this first paper, we focus on how the accreted ice determines the distribution of iron between the mantle (oxidized FeO and FeO1.5) and the core (metallic Fe and FeS). We find that an initial primitive composition o

It is one of the most basic requirements of today for sustainable social and economic development that individuals have the knowledge, skills and competencies appropriate to the requirements of the age. Vocational education and training (VET) is an important role that determine social and economic development levels of countries as well as urban growth. In general, vocational education is consider

Syftet med denna sammanläggningsavhandling är att belysa de etiska, juridiska och politiska konsekvenserna av olika försök att hantera lidande hos djur orsakat av industriell djurproduktion. På basis av kvalitativa studier utförda i Danmark undersöker avhandlingen hur skötseln av lantbruksdjur förhandlas inom olika sociala domäner. För detta ändamål använder avhandlingen rättssociologiska och tvärThis compilation thesis aims to develop an understanding of the ethical, legal and political implications associated with different strategies to address the suffering of animals caused by industrialised agriculture. Based on qualitative analysis conducted in Denmark, the research explores how ethical commitment to the situation of farmed animals is negotiated across different domains. The thesis

Humanity is facing an unprecedented challenge of climate crises. Rapid changes to the physical environment and living conditions will be accompanied by challenges to mental health and well-being. Consequently, education for sustainable development should also include coping strategies for stress and anxiety. Adding intra-personal skills to the curriculum, such as self-reflection and mindfulness tr

Introduction: Mental health problems often manifest at a young age when a person is studying with a view to gettinga job. Young adults are a vulnerable group when entering the labour market. If they also experience mental healthproblems, their entry is likely to be postponed indefinitely, thus increasing the risk of early social marginalisation. Workis closely linked to how we identify ourselves a

Objective People with neuropsychiatric symptoms often experience delay in accurate diagnosis. Although cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light (CSF NfL) shows promise in distinguishing neurodegenerative disorders (ND) from psychiatric disorders (PSY), its accuracy in a diagnostically challenging cohort longitudinally is unknown. Methods We collected longitudinal diagnostic information (mean=36 mon

After World War II and prior to the financial deregulation of the 1980s,monetary policy in Sweden as well as in other western Europeancountries rested chiefly on a system of far-reaching non-market-orientedcontrols of credit flows and interest rates. How was monetary policyconducted in such an environment of financial repression, where thecentral bank was unable to rely on traditional monetary pol

Objective. Ultrasound can detect individual motor unit (MU) activity during voluntary isometric contractions based on their subtle axial displacements. The detection pipeline, currently performed offline, is based on displacement velocity images and identifying the subtle axial displacements. This identification can preferably be made through a blind source separation (BSS) algorithm with the feas

Objectives Nocturnal hypoxia in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a potential risk factor for cancer. We aimed to investigate the association between OSA measures and cancer prevalence in a large national patient cohort. Design Cross-sectional study. Settings 44 sleep centres in Sweden. Participants 62 811 patients from the Swedish registry for positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment in OSA, link

Congenital disorders of glycosylation are a group of rare related disorders causing multisystem dysfunction, including ovarian failure in females that requires early estrogen replacement. Glycosylation defects also disrupt normal synthesis of several coagulation factors, increasing thrombotic risks and complicating hormone replacement. This series describes four females with different types of CDG

Background and Purpose: For pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-only radiotherapy the use of receiver coil bridges (CB) is recommended to avoid deformation of the patient. Development in coil technology has enabled lightweight, flexible coils. In this work we evaluate the effects of a lightweight coil in a pelvic MRI-only radiotherapy workflow. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients, refer

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) occupies an increasingly important position in the clinic for the management of cardiac and/or pulmonary failure. As a rescue therapy, ECMO can support patients following respiratory or cardiac compromise to act as a bridge to recovery, to decision, or to transplant. This chapter reviews briefly the history of ECMO implementation as well as device modes,

We suggest an appealing strategy to probe a large class of scenarios beyond the Standard Model simultaneously explaining the recent CDF II measurement of the W boson mass and predicting first-order phase transitions (FOPT) testable in future gravitational-wave (GW) experiments. Our analysis deploys measurements from the GW channels and high energy particle colliders. We discuss this methodology fo
