Background: Register diagnoses, both hospital-based and from open clinic care, are often used in research studies in Sweden. The validity of such diagnoses has been debated and a validation assessment can improve the diagnostic accuracy for use in research studies.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of register-derived dementia diagnoses in the Malmö Diet and Cancer pop
Accurately simulating soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics is essential for carbon-related assessments. Process-oriented SOC models employ temperature (f(T)) and soil moisture (f(W)) response functions derived from specific conditions to simulate SOC responses to climate change, yet are widely applied in regional and global-scale studies. How these functions affect regional SOC simulations remains u
Beamline end-stations often require components to move along non-trivial multi-dimensional trajectories in order to fulfill experimental requirements. These trajectories can frequently be realised through well synchronized combined motion of multiple axes with single degrees of freedom, such as linear and rotational actuators. A good example of this is the SCANIA-2D (Segmented Crystal Analyzer wit
Although many efforts have been made to eliminate barriers in public transport worldwide, research shows that public transport is still often perceived as challenging, inconvenient, and inaccessible for many people with disabilities. A growing body of research points to several issues, relating to the spatial and temporal distribution of public transport, affordability, safety, and social barriers
Volumetry of subregions in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) computed from automatic segmentation in MRI can track neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. However, poor quality MR images can lead to unreliable segmentation of MTL subregions. Considering that different MRI contrast mechanisms and field strengths (jointly referred to as “modalities” here) offer distinct advantages in imaging differen
Scientific breakthroughs in the field of cell and gene therapy lay the groundwork for therapeutic innovation, but their translation and integration into routine care is delayed by systemic inefficiencies and limited cross-sector alignment. The Advanced Therapies model of Lund is a proactive and integrated approach designed to accelerate the development of advanced therapies from discovery to reimb
Pea albumins are the soluble fraction of pea proteins, recovered as a side stream of the isoelectric precipitation. The time-resolved heat-induced structural transitions of the whole fraction of pea albumin (PA) were studied by evaluating the structure of the two main fractions, PA1 and PA2. Synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SR-CD) spectroscopy showed that the secondary structure signature
Swedish small-scale fishing has undergone significant changes over time. There are examples of small-scale fishers who have diversified their activities by developing new sales channels or by processing a large part of their products themselves. However, this type of activity is significantly less well-documented than the fishing itself. In this paper, we examine how the catches of the Swedish sma
Aviation currently contributes about 3% of the world’s CO2 emissions, 5% of the global warming, and 35% of the trade. Reducing the emissions and the global warming from aviation is thus essential. Many approaches to achieve this goal are underway, including H2, fuel cells, and batteries, but also by replacing the fossil jet fuel with sustainable jet fuel from non-fossil feedstocks. This involves m
We present an analysis of atmospheric transport impact on estimating CO2 fluxes using two atmospheric inversion systems (CarboScope-Regional (CSR) and Lund University Modular Inversion Algorithm (LUMIA)) over Europe in 2018. The main focus of this study is to quantify the dominant drivers of spread amid CO2 estimates derived from atmospheric tracer inversions. The Lagrangian transport models STILT
Growing evidence suggests that young migrants are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence. As young migrants often lack family and social networks, professionals are often the recipients of disclosures of sexual violence. This study aimed to explore how professionals experience young migrants’ disclosures of sexual violence. A qualitative design was used, based on 14 semi-structured interviews
I Sverige överlever idag uppemot 80% av de barnen som är födda extremt för tidigt (födda innan graviditetsvecka 28). Dock medföljer en hög sjuklighet, där uppemot 20% av barnen utvecklar olika sjukdomstillstånd såsom blödning i hjärnas hålrum, även kallat intra-ventrikulär hjärnblödning (IVH). Dessutom löper de extremt för tidigt födda barnen en ökad risk att utveckla en intellektuell och neurologExtremely preterm infants (i.e., born below 28 gestational weeks), are at high risk of developing brain morbidities including intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and neurodevelopmental impairment. Despite over 50 years of research, there is currently no effective therapy available for preventing IVH. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) plays a pivotal role in perinatal development. Extremely preter
Previous research has shown that the polarization ratio technique allows the characterization of the surface mean diameter, D21, of droplets forming dilute sprays. However, its application to optically dense sprays has posed significant challenges due to the presence of multiple light scattering. Additionally, errors in measurement can arise from the angular dependence of the signal. In this Lette
Aim: This study aimed to investigate if younger age at diagnosis of colorectal cancer was associated with a diagnostic delay. The secondary objective was to evaluate if symptomatology varied with age. Method: The study population consisted of the cohorts from two prospective multicentre studies conducted in Sweden and Denmark, the QoLiRECT and QoLiCOL studies. These studies investigated the qualit
In anonymous online text-based counselling provided by social services, counsellors face specific communicative and professional challenges. One of the challenges is a higher risk of misunderstanding in textual encounters due to the lack of non-verbal clues and conversation participants’ anonymity (Bambling et al. 2008; Dowling & Rickwood 2014; Fukkink & Hermanns 2009). Chat counsellors ne
National greenhouse gas inventories (GHGIs) are submitted annually to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They are estimated in compliance with Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodological guidance using activity data, emission factors and facility-level measurements. For some sources, the outputs from these calculations are very uncertain. Invers
We report on a quantum dots-in-a-well infrared photodetector (DWELL QDIP) grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The DWELL QDIP consisted of ten stacked InAs/In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs QD layers embedded between n-doped contact layers. The density of the QDs was about 9 x 1010 cm-2 per QD layer. The energy level structure of the DWELL was revealed by optical measurements of interband transitions, an
This paper presents a development of the use of multi-axial ultrasonic data for the quantification of extrinsic, crack or grain-contact induced elastic anisotropy in core samples with application to a UKCS oil field. An approach for inversion of multi-axial velocity measurements is presented, which extends the previous work by Sayers (2002) for the determination of second- and fourth-order crack d
