Rydbergdagarna 2025 – utfalletDe andra Rydbergdagarna arrangerades den 27-29 oktober 2025. Den första dagen ägnades åt medicinsk strålningsfysik, medan den andra dagen förkovrade sig deltagarna i astrofysikens grunder med didaktiska tillämpningar. På förmiddagarna var det föreläsningar och på eftermiddagarna bjöds deltagarna på laborationer, övningar, sjukhus- och planetariebesök, teleskopvisning

In parallel to market-like reforms in Swedish primary care, the gathering and compilation of comparative information about providers, for example through survey tools, has been improved. Such information is increasingly being used to guide individuals' choice of provider and payers' assessments of provider performance, often without critically reflecting about underlying factors affecting the resu
Familial clustering of prostate, breast and colorectal cancer is well established, but the familial risk of these cancers has not been determined among adoptees. The aim was to disentangle the contributions of genetic and environmental factors to the familial transmission of prostate, breast and colorectal cancer.
September 2026 Hur låter demokratins död?Genom en serie evenemang i september utforskar Ljudmiljöcentrum ljuden som formar det politiska livet: från protester, "applause" och offentlig debatt till poddar, sonisk ”slopaganda”, "audio deepfakes" och förändrade lyssnarteknologier och lyssnarkulturer. I takt med att medielandskapet skiftar och nya former av soniskt inflytande växer fram, ställer evene

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) was identified in 3.2% of 21 463 residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, 50 years of age or older. The risk of progression to multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, AL amyloidosis or a lymphoproliferative disorder is approximately 1% per year. Low-risk MGUS is characterized by having an M protein < 15 g/l, IgG type and a normal
Germline BRCA1 mutations predispose to breast cancer. To identify genetic modifiers of this risk, we performed a genome-wide association study in 1,193 individuals with BRCA1 mutations who were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer under age 40 and 1,190 BRCA1 carriers without breast cancer diagnosis over age 35. We took forward 96 SNPs for replication in another 5,986 BRCA1 carriers (2,974 indivi
This study explores the extent to which decentralization has affected farmers’ access to agricultural advisory services in the Sunyani Municipality of Ghana. Specifically, it focuses on how political and organizational factors, which are intermediate outcomes of decentralization, affect the availability and relevance of advisory services. The study follows a qualitative research design employing q
In the pursuit of CO₂-neutral renewable energy solutions, biofuels have emerged as one of the key strategies. However, biodiesel production generates a surplus of crude glycerol (GL), creating a need for efficient valorization pathways. The conversion of GL into value-added chemicals represents a sustainable approach to address this issue. Metal nanoclusters (NCats) embedded within metal-organic f
BACKGROUNDAutomated information extraction with natural language processing (NLP) tools is required to gain systematic insights from the large number of COVID-19 publications, reports and social media posts, which far exceed human processing capabilities. A key challenge for NLP is the extensive variation in terminology used to describe medical entities, which was especially pronounced for this ne
Background: There is increasing knowledge of how individual lifestyle factors affect patients with spondyloarthritis, while studies exploring the combination of unhealthy lifestyle factors are lacking. Thus, our aim was to study the frequency of two or more unhealthy lifestyle factors and their associations with physical and mental health in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). Methods: A popula
The name dispute between Greece and North Macedonia was a 27-year-long diplomatic battle over the name of the latter state. In this thesis, a narrative analysis is applied to discern each state's official conflict narrative during the period 2008–2020 in order to examine (1) how they differ from each other, (2) how they develop over time and (3) how they affect the conflict itself. Building on
In the wake of 9/11, the Council of the European Union created the so-called ‘CP931’counter-terrorism listing and sanctioning regime. Shortcomings of this regime have been subject to scholarly debates, focused on its lack of respect for human rights and its absent efficiency. However, not yet have these discussions taken into account the meaning of the regime’s relation to national listing policie
Endometrial angiogenesis is not well studied, but has potential as a model for studies of physiological angiogenesis. Migration as well as proliferation of vascular endothelial cells are modulated by other endometrial cells. This study analyzes the chemotactic signal released from endometrial tissue in a wound assay using human microvascular endothelial cells. Endometrial tissue explants stimulate
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is known to have a higher risk of revision than tricompartmental arthroplasty (TKA), while UKA implants are generally less expensive than TKA implants. We estimated the costs of implants and hospital stay of both procedures and related the cost difference at primary operation to the difference in number of revisions to be expected. We compared 15,437 primar
The relationship between intellectual property and competition law gives an excellent contrast into how competing legal principles may work harmoniously and need not be viewed in conflict. Consequently, applying principles from one field may benefit the application of another. In respect of this and following the Court of Justice of the European Union’s recent ruling in Leno Merken, an application
This paper sets out to analyze tensions between two different political and administrative models in Swedish local democracy; the ‘traditional model based on a hierarchical and highly formal structure with specialized agencies and the ‘centralized model’ in which formalized and specialized committees have been dismantled, and all strategic and operational responsibilities have been transferred to
While previous research has primarily focused on the sources and causes shaping attitudes towards artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles, this research attempts to shed light on the communication efforts employed by autonomous vehicle companies. Using qualitative content analysis of the website material from three distinct SAE level 5 autonomous vehicle organizations, the study aims to ac
