BACKGROUND: International middle- and long-distance running competitions attract millions of spectators in association with city races, world championships, and Olympic Games. It is therefore a major concern that ill health and pain, as a result of sports overuse, lead to numerous hours of lost training and decreased performance in competitive runners. Despite its potential for sustenance of perfo

Context. 55 Cnc e is an ultra-short period super-Earth transiting a Sun-like star. Previous observations in the optical range detected a time-variable flux modulation that is phased with the planetary orbital period, whose amplitude is too large to be explained by reflected light and thermal emission alone. Aims. The goal of the study is to investigate the origin of the variability and timescale o

I upphandlingsmål ska officialprincipen tillämpas på ett försiktigt sätt. Syftet med uppsatsen är att söka klarhet i om det införts en åberopsbörda i upphandlingsmål likt den som finns för dispositiva tvistemål samt hur en eventuell åberopsbörda samspelar med officialprincipen. Uppsatsen ämnar besvara två frågeställningar: hur kan vi förstå förvaltningsprocessens regler i FPL samt praxis i förhåll

The EU and its Member States have been increasingly engaging into cooperation with third countries with the view to containing movements and preventing refugees from entering European soil. These cooperative arrangements have been critiqued for allowing EU countries to evade their responsibilities vis-a-vis refugees subjecting them to substandard treatment in transit countries. From a distributive

Every day about 1 trillion new blood cells are formed, of which the majority are red blood cells. This depends on a small number of hematopoietic stem cells that are able to both self-renew to maintain the stem cell pool, and to mature into all types of mature blood cells. Anemia is associated with aging, chronic infections and cancer, and significantly impacts quality of life and survival. It is

Lundbystudien är en världsunik deskriptiv psykiatrisk epidemiologisk studie som startades 1947. Fältundersökningar har gjorts 1947, 1957, 1972 och 1997. Data är av hög kvalitet, validerade genom personliga intervjuer av specialistkompetenta psykiatriker, och diagnoserna har validerats mot olika klassifikationssystem som varit i bruk sedan 1947, där det senaste är DSM-IV. Totalt hade 42% av befolknThe Lundby Study is a world-unique descriptive psychiatric epidemiological study that started in 1947. Field investigations were performed in 1947, 1957, 1972 and 1997. Data are of high quality, validated through personal interviews by psychiatrists, and the diagnoses have been validated against various classification systems that have been in use since 1947, the latest being DSM-IV. A total of 42

Sophia Zackrisson är forskargruppsledare för den här forskargruppenCancer imaging is a growing field with screening programs for secondary prevention through early detection and advances in therapeutics as key drivers. Since primary prevention strategies are lacking for many types of cancers, imaging has a pivotal role in early detection, diagnosis and treatment response evaluation. Our research group has a long-standing experience especially in mammography scree

Background--The relationship between "on-treatment" low platelet reactivity and longitudinal risks of major bleeding dual antiplatelet therapy following acute coronary syndromes remains uncertain, especially for patients who do not undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods and Results--We analyzed 2428medicallymanaged acute coronary syndromes patients fromthe Targeted Platelet Inhibition

This article investigates the potential of alternative research terminologyto facilitate the utilisation of existing geographical conceptions of spaceand place in empirical studies of children’s everyday lives. This isachieved by employing Clifford Geertz’s (1974. “‘From the Native’s Pointof View’: On the Nature of Anthropological Understanding.” Bulletin ofthe American Academy of Arts and Science

Stroke causes direct structural damage to local brain networks and indirect functional damage to distant brain regions. Neuroplasticity after stroke involves molecular changes within perilesional tissue that can be influenced by regions functionally connected to the site of injury. Spontaneous functional recovery can be enhanced by rehabilitative strategies, which provides experience-driven cell s

Methods: Three hundred and eighty newly diagnosed ANCA-associated vasculitis patients from six European multicentre studies treated with AZA maintenance were included; 58% were male, median age at diagnosis 59.4 years (interquartile range: 48.3-68.2 years); granulomatosis with polyangiitis, n = 236; microscopic polyangiitis, n = 132; or renal limited vasculitis, n = 12. Patients were grouped accor

Uppsatsen har undersökt huruvida spelföretaget Star Stable Entertainment AB marknadsföring av virtuella valutor och produkter till barn bryter mot EU:s konsumentskyddslagstiftning i ljuset av Sveriges Konsumenters anmälan mot företaget. Uppsatsen har även diskuterat om direktivet om otillbörliga affärs-metoder är anpassat för den digitala miljön med hänsyn till kommissionens aktuella fitness checkThe essay analyses whether the gaming company Star Stable Entertainment AB´s marketing of virtual currencies and other virtual products against chil-dren violates EU consumer law, considering the Swedish Consumers Associ-ation’s complaint against the company. The paper also discusses whether the Unfair Commercial Practice Directive (UCPD) is fit for the digital environ-ment, given the European Com

Background: Studies on long-term exposure to air pollution at high levels suggest an association with increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to study this relationship at very low levels, less well-studied, yet of public health importance. Methods: The Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) consists of randomly selected subjects aged 50–64 years from six large cities in Swe

Mental health disorders are a rapidly growing public health problem. Despite the fact that lack of trust in the health-care system is considered to be an important determinant of health, there is scarcity of empirical evidence demonstrating its associations with health outcomes. This is the first study which aims to evaluate the association between trust in the health-care system and psychological

Child stunting (chronic undernutrition) is a major public health concern in low- and middle-income countries. In Rwanda, an estimated 33% of children are affected. This study investigated the household living conditions and the impact of gender-related decision-making on child stunting. The findings contribute to ongoing discussion on this critical public health issue. In December 2021, a populati

Objectives. Cirrhosis is a well-known risk factor for hepatocellular cancer, but the true risk in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is scarcely studied. Other cancers may arise after prolonged use of immune-modulating drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the cancer risk in a large cohort of AIH patients. Material and methods. Six hundred and thirty-four Swedish patients in a well-defined cohor

OBJECTIVE: The time taken to reach maximal haemostatic effect following local anaesthesia with epinephrine is generally believed to be <10 min. This is based on clinical experience and indirect measurements of perfusion using methods such as laser Doppler flowmetry and oxygen spectroscopy. However, the only study in which bleeding has been measured quantitatively in an intra-operative setting in h

Fokus på plast i mark och jord: mikroplasters effekt på organismer i jord undersökt med ny teknologi inom jordekologi frågor. De enorma plastutsläppen till naturen är idag ett välkänt problem. Det är också välkänt att plast bryts ner till mindre partiklar med andra effekter, så kallade mikro- och nanoplaster. Allmänheten har visat stort intresse kring plastproblematiken i haven och mycket forskniThis study aims to investigate if micro- and nanoparticles of polystyrene affect microorganisms in soil. This was tested by using microfluidic chips, which are new for investigation of soil ecology questions, providing artificial channels reflecting soil conditions as well as being transparent for seeing real-time interactions. Eight microfluidic chips were made; four were filled with a micro- and
