Different tau biomarkers become abnormal at different stages of Alzheimer's disease, with CSF phospho-tau typically becoming elevated at subthreshold levels of tau-PET binding. To capitalize on the temporal order of tau biomarker-abnormality and capture the earliest changes of tau accumulation, we implemented an observational study design to examine longitudinal changes in Tau-PET, cortical thickn

Characterization of emissions from fires in a laboratory-controlled environment are presented in this report. The project is initiated by the CERN HSE Unit and is called FIRIA, Fire-Induced Radiological Integrated Assessment. The objective of FIRIA is to enhance the knowledge of aerosols emitted from fires in order to develop dispersion models of radiologically-activated material in case of fire.

Objective Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) is the most prevalent primary childhood vasculitis in Sweden, but is considerably rarer in adults. This study aims to describe the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and renal outcome of adult-onset IgAV in Skåne, Sweden. Methods The study area consisted of Skåne, the southernmost region of Sweden, with a population ≥18 years of 990 464 on 31 Decemb

Fluorescence spectroscopy has been applied to clinical tumour detection and to rmcroscopy. The fluorescence properties of biological tissue have been investigated within two clinical projects in order to discriminate tumours from normal surrounding tissue. Clinical studies have been performed on brain tumours in collaboration with the Department of Neurosurgery in Linkoping, and on urinary bladde

The last decade has seen significant shifts in the framework conditions of living and working in the academic life sciences, such as changing funding structures, increasing project-type character of scientific work and the integration of multiple quality assessment mechanisms into structures of scientific knowledge production. Alongside these changes there have also been significant transformation

This paper addresses the problem of distributed Kalman filtering, with focus on limiting the required communication bandwidth. By distributed we refer to a scenario when all nodes in the network desire an estimate of the full state of the observed system and there is no centralized computation center. Communication only takes place between neighbors and only a fixed number of times each sample. To

The ability of a nematode-trapping fungus to establish in field soil is an important characteristic when considering its use as a biological control agent. The outgrowth of the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys superba from wood was recorded by labelling the fungus with [14C]3-O-methylglucose and [32P]orthophosphoric acid and by using the soil sprinkling method. The fungus reached a distance o

The effect of ultraviolet radiation (UV) (255-325 nm) on stomatal closure was investigated on tef (Eragrostis tef (Zucc) Trotter) in the presence of white light (ca 50 .mu.mol m-2 s-1). The action spectrum showed that UV (ca 2 .mu.mol m-2 s-1, half band width about 10 nm) of 285 nm or shorter wavelengths was very efficient in causing stomatal closure. The effectiveness decreased sharply towards lo

Sequencing of immunoglobulin germline gene loci is a challenging process, e.g. due to their repetitiveness and complexity, hence limiting the insight in the germline gene repertoire of humans and other species. Through next generation sequencing technology, it is possible to generate immunoglobulin transcript data sets large enough to computationally infer the germline genes from which the transcr

The purpose of this study was to examine how gambling addiction is understood by those active in the field, the consequences of gambling addiction and treatment available for gambling addiction in Sweden. We also wanted to examine if gambling addiction could be seen as a social problem or not depending on our theoretical basis. Our main issues were: 1 How do active within the field of gambling add

Critical infrastructure networks are susceptible to disruptions, and an imbalanced distribution of component importance can significantly amplify their vulnerability to cascading failures or targeted attacks. This study introduces a novel bi-objective optimization framework designed to enhance network resilience by strategically balancing component importance in multi-commodity spatial networks. T

Mother Abuse in the Eyes of the Social Services - a Qualitative Study of Violence and Parenting The purpose of this study was to examine how Child Protection workers understand the dynamics of parenting within a relationship that entails Domestic Violence, and to highlight how they understand the needs of the children in these families. Interviews were carried out with four female Child Protectio

Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS). Epileptogenesis is a multifaceted pathophysiological process that transforms a normal brain into one prone to chronic seizures. Targeting epileptogenesis is a compelling line of epilepsy therapy. Thus, discovering new drugs that oppose, mitigate, or modify epileptogenesis is a significant challenge

During the past ten years, Sweden's security policy has undergone a clear change, where key events have been Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and, most recently, Sweden's entry into NATO in 2024. The focus on issues such as national security and military rearmament have increased. The essay discusses how a perceived need to improve resilience has put requirements on the population
