“I choose you, of my own free will”, en B-uppsats av Sofia Gripse och Veronika Persson vid Institutionen för kommunikation, Lunds universitet. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur kärlek och romantiska relationer konstrueras och representeras i säsong tre av tv-serien "The Summer I Turned Pretty". Med utgångspunkt i en kvalitativ innehållsanalys analyseras hur heteronormativa föres

Introduction: In this thesis, I critically examine three discourses, prevalent within the 'field' of sexual violence in migration. Methodology: Taking a poststructuralist approach, I deconstruct the beforementioned discourses in a threefold analysis. Results: I find, that the binary gender system is still dominating, and that certain ideas about 'men' and 'women', their bod

Introduction: Implementing new treatment regimens entails a learning phase with a concomitant risk of suboptimal results. High caseload has generally been shown to improve results in complex surgical procedures. This study aimed to evaluate results of Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (IP), given as Early Postoperative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (EPIC) or Hyperthermic

BACKGROUND: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) and left atrial strain metrics, including reservoir (LAr), contraction (LAct), and conduit strain (LAcd), have emerged as key indicators of left ventricular (LV) function and filling pressures. However, the prognostic value of these markers for risk stratification in acute heart failure (HF) remains uncertain, particularly in identifying patients at ele

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate psychometric properties of newly developed hand and wrist proprioception tests.DESIGN: Cross-sectional and test-retest comparisons.SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Twenty-six individuals (mean age 40 years) with wrist disability (> 3 months) due to traumatic injury or general instability.METHODS: Pointing acuity (with eyes open and closed), active joint position sense (in extension, flexi

BackgroundUmbilical cord arterial pH (UApH) is the most objective measurement of the metabolic condition of the infant at birth. However, studies have identified changes in UApH with advancing gestational age, as there is limited data examining UApH changes with different modes of birth. The objective was to establish reference values for UApH according to mode of birth and to investigate the infl

Selenium (Se), an essential trace element, is linked to poor prognosis in heart failure (HF) and kidney disease. Se deficiency (serum Se < 70 μg/L) has been associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Selenoprotein P (SELENOP), the main Se transporter, reflects bioavailable Se. Selective glomerular hypofiltration syndrome (SGHS), defined by a cystatin C-based eGFR < 0.7 of creatinine-based

Lifetimes of photoexcited charge transfer (CT) states in transition metal chromophores are influenced by low-lying ligand field (LF) excited states, especially for 3d metal complexes. To manipulate interactions between LF and CT states, it is important to be able to control LF excited state energies using tunable synthetic variables. In this report, we use Fe 2p3d L3-edge resonant inelastic X-ray

A broadband high gain metasurface-based Fabry–Perot resonant cavity antenna (FPRCA) for polarization reconfigurable is proposed in this article. The antenna features a microstrip source antenna with a single-layer 2 × 2 circular patch metasurface, a ground plane, and a double-layer partially reflective surface (PRS), along with four resistors and two diodes. Characteristic mode analysis (CMA) is p

Introduction: Sepsis, a widespread global ailment, involves an exaggerated immune response, leading to hyperinflammation and immunosuppression. Extracellular histones, released during hyperinflammation as part of the defensive response against pathogens, significantly contribute to sepsis pathogenesis, compromising viability of the host’s endothelial cells and contributing to organ failure. Method

The global rise in youth mental ill-health is exacerbated by a shortage of clinicians trained in evidence-based care, making it difficult to translate research into effective practice – especially for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), an adolescent-onset condition that often goes undetected and untreated. This study aimed to explore clinicians’ experiences of participation in an online educational p

Purpose – This study examines how representative deliberative processes (RDPs) can operate as systemic policy instruments for addressing complex, place-based societal challenges. By adopting a procedural perspective, the study advances understanding of how deliberation reshapes the internal logic of policymaking, enabling adaptive learning, coordination and institutional transformation. Design/met

Digitalization enables innovative applications in district heating and cooling (DHC), supporting decarbonization and sector integration. These applications rely heavily on data, making the shift toward a data economy a logical next step. A data economy would let stakeholders collect, share, and monetize data, encouraging sustainable innovation. However, limited data availability, interoperability

Purpose Despite increased interest in opioid-free strategies, their clinical uptake remains limited. This study explores Swedish perioperative healthcare professional’s (HCPs) knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding opioid and nonopioid analgesia across intraoperative and postoperative contexts. Design A national web-based survey was conducted among perioperative HCPs across Sweden between O

Arslan showed that computing all-pairs Hamming distances is easily reducible to arithmetic 0–1 matrix multiplication (IPL 2018). We provide a reverse, linear-time reduction of arithmetic 0–1 matrix multiplication to computing all-pairs distances in a Hamming space. On the other hand, we present a fast randomized algorithm for approximate all-pairs distances in a Hamming space. By combining it with

Vaccine scepticism is often related to fears of potential side effects and to doubts regarding the safety and effectiveness of the injections. Alongside the medical issues, mass vaccination campaigns like the one related to the COVID-19 pandemic also have civic and epistemic effects connected to the engagement of people on the internet in matters concerning the vaccination and vaccination campaign

This paper presents a novel low-profile, single-layer, differentially-fed microstrip antenna with a flat-top beam (FTB). By incorporating a central hexagonal slot together with four elongated slots and two short slots, the proposed antenna tailors high-order modes to achieve the desired radiation characteristics. By analyzing the electric field, the distribution in various regions is decomposed an
