  1. 1. Inhibitory control in adults with ADHD

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Zoey Gard; [2023]
    Keywords : ADHD; inhibition; fmri; inhibitory control;

    Abstract : Inhibitory control refers to a person’s ability to control responses and impulses. Deficits in inhibitory control have been found in the neurodevelopmental disorder of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), though this has mainly been studied in children. READ MORE

  3. 2. Spin-Glass Behaviour in Ordered Solids

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori

    Author : Erik Karpelin; [2023]
    Keywords : spin-glass; self-induced; variation; Edwards-Andersson; glassy;

    Abstract : The spin-glass is a peculiar magnetic phase, exhibiting non-trivial dynamics at low temperatures, characterized by an continuously evolving state without long-range order. The behavior requires some degree of disorder to occur, often in the way of impurities or random exchange energy between the spins. READ MORE

  4. 3. Quantum Transport in Topological Insulator Nanowires

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Sergi Pradas Rodriguez; [2023]
    Keywords : quantum transport; topological insulators; nanowires; numerical analysis; Kwant; etc.; kvanttransport; topologiska isolatorer; nanotrådar; numerisk analys; Kvant; etc.;

    Abstract : Three-dimensional topological insulators are materials that have a bulk band gap like a traditional insulator, but which hold topologically protected conducting surface states. In this thesis we present a numerical analysis of the surface states of topological insulator nanowires in the tight-binding approximation. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Structural Brain Correlates of Psychopathy and Violent Crime

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Zaynab Abas Hashmi; Wilma Pettersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Psychopathy; Antisocial personality disorder; Violent crime; Magnetic resonance imaging;

    Abstract : Psychopathy is a frequently reported personality trait among violent offenders, and psychopaths have a higher rate of recidivism than inmates without psychopathic features. This systematic review aimed to investigate whether structural brain differences, measured with magnetic resonance imaging, are observed in violent offenders with psychopathy compared to violent offenders without psychopathy or healthy non-violent controls.

  6. 5. The neural correlates of cognitive reappraisal among post-traumatic stress disorder patients : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Cecilia Nordin; Cecilia Mattsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Emotion regulation; post-traumatic stress disorder; cognitive reappraisal; neural correlates; functional magnetic resonance imaging;

    Abstract : The ability to regulate emotions is essential for human well-being. Among posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients, the capability to control emotions is impaired. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy is a recommended treatment for patients diagnosed with PTSD. READ MORE
