The Swedish army marched 1658 over the ice on the Danish sounds from Jutland to Zealand. An event that led to the foundation of Lund University in 1666. From the loads involved the ice thickness can be determined to have been at least 20 cm. Using data from mid-17 hundreds and forward the ice thickness of every year is computed. Large ice thickness seems to have been more common in the period mid
Background:Parentally bereaved children are at increased risk of negative consequences, and the mediating factors most consistently identified are found to be related to family function after the loss, including cohesion. However, existing evidence is limited, especially with respect to children and youths’ own perception of family cohesion and its long-term effects on health and well-being. There
Objective: While considerable focus has been placed on pain due to inflammation in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), less is reported on pain despite inflammation control. Here, we aimed to investigate the occurrence/predictors of persistent pain, including non-inflammatory components, after starting anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy. Method: Bionaïve PsA patients starting a first anti-TNF t
Background/objectives: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare malignancy, with an indolent course in the early stages of the disease. However, due to major molecular and clinical heterogeneity, patients at an advanced stage of the disease have variable responses to treatment and considerably reduced life expectancy. Today, there is a lack of specific markers for the progression from early to advanced st
Anestesiläkare rapporterades i en svensk studie ha en högre mortalitet än genomsnittet av läkare. Detta fynd har dock ej kunnat reproduceras i motsvarande studier i de övriga nordiska länderna. Likväl har det spekulerats i om den angivna överrisken bland svenska anestesiläkare kan relateras till gruppens jourarbete med höga krav, nattarbete och stress. Kunskapen om hälsoeffekter av läkares jourarb

Children are today, worldwide being released and let back into their communities, after years of abuse and violations against their rights. According to The Convention on the Rights of the Child, a child is protected fro
Information and communication technologies have acquired contemporary prominence and are being introduced as new and technologically innovative devices for rapid African development, becoming key cornerstones of the development assistance interventions of the European Union and the G8. But the Dot Force Initiative of the G8 and the various ICT for development programmes of the EU display a moderni
The age-specific incidence of traumatic brain injury in older adults is rising in high-income countries, mainly due to an increase in the incidence of falls. The severity of traumatic brain injury in older adults can be underestimated because of a delay in the development of mass effect and symptoms of intracranial haemorrhage. Management and rehabilitation in older adults must consider comorbidit
With the emerging technology called the Internet of Things (IoT), we can now connect computing devices and sensors to the Internet. The IoT sensors serve to collect data, pushing it and sharing it with a whole network of connected devices. We decided to explore how to utilize IoT data to increase the user experience from a commercial gym application called Advagym. Advagym is a commercial solution
This thesis aimed to determine if Euroscepticism is demonstrated to shift in the EU’s external border regions after sudden border insecurities, compared to other types of regions. This field was explored due to previous researchers claiming that the EU’s border regions are particularly susceptible to changes in Euroscepticism due to sudden border insecurity. The case of Russia’s invasion of Ukrain
Background: Approximately 40% of cancer patients/survivors develop chronic cancer-related pain (CRP), which is often associated with greater levels of fatigue and cancer worry, all of which are associated with poorer functioning, wellbeing, and greater healthcare costs. Psychological Flexibility (PF) refers to one’s level of openness to and acceptance of physical/emotional experiences and willingn
