Trots att det är ett fundamentalt begrepp inom global hälsa och utveckling är det förvånansvärt svårt att fånga vad solidaritet innebär. Denna artikel börjar med en diskussion av vad som karakteriserar solidaritet, inklusive uppfattade och verkliga spänningar mellan egenintresse och solidaritet inom internationellt bistånd. Därvid bygger den på illustrativa exempel ur historien om svenskt bistånd,Although it is a fundamental concept in global health and development, soli-darity is surprisingly hard to capture. This essay first discusses characteris-tics of solidarity, including perceived and real tensions between self-interest and solidarity in international aid. In doing so, it draws upon illustrative ex-amples from Sweden’s aid history, as well as international vaccine solidarity during

This chapter reviews the imaging findings of different non-infectious inflammatory diseases that affect the central nervous system, with special emphasis on demyelinating disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Special sections are also dedicated to inflammatory vascular disorders and to metabolic and toxic conditions that affect the ad

In their seminal hypothesis, Hamilton and Zuk proposed parasites to drive host sexual selection and predicted infections to correlate with ornamentation. Since then, a plethora of studies has explored how parasite occurrence relates to host traits, though the underlying assumption that parasite infection parameters are host-specific traits has rarely been evaluated. We used a global database (MalA

Bakgrund/Syfte: Inom allmänpsykiatrin i Sverige behandlas personer med komplexa psykiatriska behov. Det innebär bland annat begränsningar i att delta i vardagens aktiviteter och samhällslivet. Att få stöd med detta kan möjliggöra ett liv värt att leva trots psykisk ohälsa, i enlighet med arbetsterapi. Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) är en återhämtningsinriktad integrerad vård- och st

The contact urticaria syndrome (CUS) shows four stages of severity. It is a syndrome that initially involves the skin but also the respiratory or the gastrointestinal tract once it has manifested systemically. It is potentially a life-threatening syndrome. Immediate contact skin reactions (ICSR) induced by environmental agents are clinical manifestations of contact urticaria (CoU) and protein cont

Previous research on cardiometabolic risk has mostly used a variable-centred approach, assessing risk factors separately or in predefined combinations. This study used a probabilistic modelling approach to identify distinct cardiometabolic risk classes and estimate the predicted prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis. The analysis included 28,307 middle-aged adults from the Swedish CArdioPulmon

Ammonia/diesel dual-fuel compression-ignition engines are a promising solution for reducing carbon emissions in marine applications, yet their combustion efficiency and nitrogen-related emissions remain major challenges. In this study, combined numerical simulations and experiments were performed to investigate combustion characteristics and emissions in a two-stroke, low-speed ammonia/diesel dire

En röst bär längre än ord. Den kan öppna ett rum, skapa tillit, väcka motstånd – eller få någon att lyssna på riktigt. I läraryrket är rösten aldrig ensam. Densamverkar med berättelser, blickar, tonfall och relationer. Det är där, i mötet mellan människa och människa, som undervisning blir till.Den här boken bjuder in till att utforska den professionella muntligheten som ett levande och mångbottna

Developing individualized spatial models that capture the complex dynamics of multi-electrode EEG data is essential for accurately decoding global neural activity. A widely used approach is network modeling, where electrodes are represented as nodes. A key challenge lies in defining the network edges and weights, as precise connectivity estimation is critical for enhancing neural characterization

This article examines how generative artificial intelligence (AI) design platforms are reshaping fashion and textile design by mediating creative processes, reconfiguring design roles and influencing aesthetic outcomes. While these design practices have traditionally relied on embodied techniques such as sketching or draping, AI platforms shift the creative process towards prompt-writing, thus tra

The transition to post-quantum cryptography is well underway. Driven by the recognition that Shor's algorithm would render all widely deployed asymmetric cryptosystems insecure in the presence of a sufficiently capable quantum computer, the cryptographic community has spent the past decade designing, evaluating, and standardizing a new generation of public-key primitives. In 2024, ML-KEM became th

Despite extensive cataloging of carcinogenic exposures by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and pharmacogenomic variation by resources such as PharmVar and CPIC, few platforms unify exposure, metabolic activation and detoxification, DNA damage, and genetic annotation within a single interactive visualization framework. This gap limits systematic evaluation of gene-environment

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid for the human body and is crucial for protein synthesis. It is primarily metabolized through the kynurenine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and indole pathways. The various bioactive compounds produced through tryptophan metabolism can regulate a range of physiological functions, including digestive, metabolic, immune responses, and neurological functions. New evidence

Denna berättelse om Synergi mellan Strål- och Immun-Terapi har sitt ursprung i resultaten av försök som utfördes år 2001 vilka avsåg att kombinera tumörvaccin-behandling med strålterapi av Fischer-344 råttor med gliom-tumörer inokulerade i hjärnan.Med 3 omgångar tumörvaccin kombinerat med endast en fraktion strålterapi á 5Gy, överlevde sex av åtta behandlade djur (ca.75%). Detta dramatiska re
