Improved self-esteem and body image, as well as reduced experiences of weight stigma are important patient-reported obesity treatment outcomes. However, more knowledge is needed about how individuals who have undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) perceive themselves and their bodies and use different coping strategies in relation to body image and self-esteem long-term after MBS. In this

The seasonal migrations of insects involve a substantial displacement of biomass with significant ecological and economic consequences for regions of departure and arrival. Remote sensors have played a pivotal role in revealing the magnitude and general direction of bioflows above 150 m. Nevertheless, the take-off and descent activity of insects below this height is poorly understood. Our lidar ob

In this work we introduce a new method for manufacturing minimal submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds of codimension two. For this we employ the so called complex-valued eigenfunctions. This is particularly interesting in the cases when the Riemannian ambient manifold is compact. We then give several explicit examples in important cases.

In this thesis, wastewater reuse was investigated from technological and social perspectives, based onwhich the thesis was divided into two parts. In the first part, the removal of chemical and microbialcontaminants by full-scale and pilot-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, in different processcombinations, was examined. In the second part, the perceptions of reused wastewater were stu

How do nondescript spaces of transfer (Warped Space), as such, relate to the wide-spread headphone culture in those spaces? To address this question, the chapter presents a reading of Vidler (1999) on Warped space, Simmel (the Stranger) and Bull (2012) on Toxic Audiotopia. The chapter concludes that Warped spaces or spaces of transfer call for people not to connect, and it was also found that this

Changes in the energy landscape relating both to the ambitions of a green energy transformation as well as increasing global security concerns, have led to increased attention to new energy carriers. These can serve the role of allowing for the electrification of transport and decarbonization of industries as well as to reduce the effects of variation in many sustainable energy sources such as winChanges in the energy landscape relating both to the ambitions of a green energy transformation as well as increasing global security concerns, have led to increased attention to new energy carriers.

The term non-cardiac syncope includes all forms of syncope, in which primary intrinsic cardiac mechanism and non-syncopal transient loss of consciousness can be ruled out. Reflex syncope and orthostatic hypotension are the most frequent etiologies of non-cardiac syncope. As no specific therapy is effective for all types of non-cardiac syncope, identifying the underlying hemodynamic mechanism is th

Aeolian transport rates decreases during wet conditions as the threshold shear velocity for initiation of transport increases over moist sand. This study investigates the influence of surface moisture on meso-scale aeolian transport simulations. Yearly transport rates towards the dunes are simulated with ten different threshold-based models to account for moisture effects. The ten models show larg

OBJECTIVE: To explore in a primary care setting the associations between patients' daily self-measured blood pressure (BP) during eight weeks and concurrent self-reported values of wellbeing, lifestyle, symptoms, and medication intake. We also explore these associations for men and women separately.DESIGN AND SETTING: The study is a secondary post-hoc analysis of the randomised controlled trial PE

Under de senaste femtio åren har kvinnors makt i ­Sverige stärkts på ett dramatiskt sätt. Från att tidigare ha varit det generellt underordnade könet har kvinnor idag rentav en ­ledande ställning på många centrala områden. Viktiga yrken och samhälls­institutioner som tidigare dominerats av män domineras idag av kvinnor.I Den mjuka staten undersöker Erik J. Olsson och Catharina Grönqvist Olsson, ut

Instruments and tables in Regiomontanus’ calendar published in 1474 are analysed and explained. It is shown that Regiomontanus used the Alfonsine Tables corrected for the longitude time difference between Toledo and Nuremberg. It is also shown that for the syzygy and eclipse times he used apparent solar times. The syzygy tables of George Peurbach may have been used to correct from mean to true syz

This paper investigates and discusses four instruments found in a sixteenth century Spanish book of navigation. The night clock is a rather standard application of similar instruments known since the fourteenth century in Europe. Cortés’ explanation of the causes of the deviation of the magnetic and geographical north is quite original. His instrument to correct for that the Polaris deviates from

Rättsfallspodd från Juridiska fakulteten.År 1632 ger den italienske vetenskapsmannen Galileo Galilei ut en bok som visar att den katolska kyrkans världsbild är felaktig. Jorden står inte still, utan roterar runt solen. Galileo åtalas för kätteri och ställs inför inkvisitionens domstol i Rom.
