The dissociative effects of ketamine and psychedelics might be associated with their rapid antidepressant properties, raising questions about whether these effects are necessary for their therapeutic action. Additionally, the distinct dissociative experiences often reported by patients in clinical trials may reveal whether they receive an active treatment or a placebo, potentially introducing bias
The EU AI Act aims to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) in a way that balances innovation and protection from harms, but faces the challenge of keeping pace with the development of AI. This paper examines the tension between fixity and flexibility when regulating AI in the EU by drawing on literature on the pacing problem and anticipatory governance, contrasted by sociolegal theory on the impo
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has emerged as an attractive gene delivery vector platform to treat both rare and pervasive diseases. With more and more rAAV-based therapies entering late-stage clinical trials and commercialization, there is an increasing pressure on the rAAV manufacturing process to accelerate drug development, account for larger trials, and commercially provide high do
This chapter explains how a mutual fund culture, which strengthened the link between households and the stock market, emerged exceptionally early in Sweden. We explore the popularisation of individual shareholding through state-subsidised fund savings schemes, the Tax Funds (introduced by the centre-right government in 1978) and the similar Everyman’s Funds (introduced by the Social Democratic gov
Karst caves are known to buffer external climatic variability and track annual temperature and humidity means, yet little is understood about how this buffering extends beyond cave interiors or whether it influences vegetation patterns at cave entrances. This pilot study investigates microclimate (temperature, relative humidity and derived vapour pressure deficit) and vegetation patterns (Shannon
During Chávez’s presidency (1999-2013), Venezuela experienced an increase in lethal violence, becoming one of the most violent countries in the world. In contrast, Ecuador saw a significant decline in homicide rates during the presidency of Correa (2007-2017). This thesis examines why two countries with similar conditions such as oil dependency, socialist governments and geographical locations, ex
Denna studie undersöker hur beslutsfattare i privata organisationer uppfattar och hanterar risken för vendor lock-in vid strategiska IT-beslut. Studien är influerad av en kvalitativ ansats och bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem respondenter med erfarenhet av IT- beslut, systemförvaltning och leverantörsrelationer. Resultatet visar att vendor lock-in inte enbart handlar om tekniska elle
Background: Studies suggest increased phosphate removal when using hemodiafiltration (HDF) compared with hemodialysis (HD), but a complete analytic comparison has not been reported. Methods: We analyzed data from a 6-month prospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study that enrolled patients treated with high-flux HD or HDF and in whom residual kidney phosphate clearances (KrPhos) were measured.
This thesis examines how the environmental, regulatory, and social problems arising from U.S.– Malaysia plastic waste trade were represented following China’s 2018 National Sword policy and Malaysia’s eventual 2025 restrictions on plastic waste imports. Rather than treating plastic waste trade as only a material flow, this study seeks to analyze how different actors constructed meaning through com
Denna studie undersöker hur feministiska diskurser konstrueras och omformuleras inom sportfemvertising för att legitimera varumärkesidentitet och positionering i ett kommersiellt sammanhang. Studien analyserar fyra kampanjer av Nike (2020, 2025), Adidas (2025) och Puma (2022) genom en kvalitativ multimodal kritisk diskurs analys, baserad på Fairclough’three-Dimensional Model. Analysen undersöker fThis study examines how feminist discourse is constructed and adapted within sports femvertising in order to legitimise brand identity and positioning in a commercial context. The study analyses four campaigns by Nike (2020, 2025), Adidas (2025) and Puma (2022) through a qualitative multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis, based on Fairclough’s Three-Dimensional Model. The analysis analyses feminis
INTRODUCTION: Women are increasingly entering the dementia research workforce, but they frequently fail to attain senior leadership positions in academia. Discrepancies in academic research outputs were investigated to guide equity-focused policy recommendations.METHODS: Bibliometrics was conducted on 400,482 original research articles (2003-2022) followed by surveying the AD/ADRD research communi
Background and Objectives – Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) deficiency is a potentially treatable neurodegenerative genetic disorder. It represents a common cause of mitochondrial disease. Most published reports are limited to single cases, and population-based data are lacking. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence, incidence, and life expectancy and to explore genot
The Indonesian Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) market ranks among the world’s largest consumer markets, with one of the highest annual growth rates worldwide, and a consumer base of more than 200 million. Despite its size and potential, the market is notoriously challenging to navigate, as it contains a unique combination of strong local traditions, Islamic religious practices, and price sensiti
Lean-oriented manufacturing depends not only on routines, standards and improvement systems, but also on employees who are willing to engage with these practices in daily work. This thesis explores how employees in Swedish Lean-oriented manufacturing companies experience leadership in relation to their work motivation, using transformational leadership as an interpretive lens. The study takes a qu
Preeclampsia (PE) is a complication during pregnancy characterized by hypertension, organ damage, and systemic inflammation. Increasing evidence suggests that the gut microbiome may play a role in the pathophysiology of PE. However, previous studies on the gut microbiome have generally overlooked the distinction between subgroups of PE, although clinical manifestations may differ. Also, most studi

This research examines the relationship between the language attitudes and language strategies of balanced Latvian-Russian bilinguals in Latvia, in the context of the country’s language policies, which shifted towards securitisation following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. To this end, the study proposes an explanatory model in which identity negotiation serves as the key med
