During eyeblink conditioning, Purkinje cells that control blinking develop an inhibitory response to the conditional stimulus. This conditional response (CR) in the Purkinje cell shows a number of striking similarities to the overt blink CR, including adaptive timing. The evidence suggests that the Purkinje cell CR drives the overt CR. Recent results show that the Purkinje cell CR does not depend
The world is currently facing a biodiversity and climate crisis which are globally interlinked. Nature-based solutions (NBS), defined as “actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural and modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously benefiting people and nature” is part of the solution to these challenges. Here we give a status overv
Background: Patients with acute respiratory failure caused by cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) may require mechanical ventilation that can cause further lung damage. Our aim was to determine the impact of ventilatory settings on CPE mortality. Methods: Patients from the LUNG SAFE cohort, a multicenter prospective cohort study of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, were studied. Relationsh
This chapter presents two case analyses, one situated in Sweden and the other in Poland, where attempts have been made to intervene in the existing laws regulating access to abortion. The first case involves the lawsuits filed by midwives in Sweden who claimed to have been discriminated against on the grounds of their religion when they had been turned down for work due to their objection to perfo
Develops the Black feminist concept of reproductive justice further in critical dialogue.Includes case studies and perspectives from Sweden, Nicaragua, Poland, Taiwan.Focuses on the historical and contemporary interplay between the state and the pro- abortion/anti-abortion movements.
Responsible internationalization has become an increasingly used term to promote relationship building in a world which is increasingly shaped by the growing impact of global challenges and geopolitical competition. Amidst these changing global conditions researchers and universities have started to learn that they need to adhere to an expanded set of norms related to the research endeavor. Today
PURPOSE: To analyze preoperative visual acuity before cataract surgery regarding the risk of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after cataract surgery.METHODS: The preoperative visual acuity in an observational cohort study of patients undergoing cataract surgery in Skåne, southern Sweden, during 2015-2017 was analyzed with data retrieved from the Swedish National Cataract Register. This was
PURPOSE: Automated perimetry provides a standardized method of measuring the visual field. The Humphrey Field Analyser (HFA) uses the 24-2 test pattern to cover 24 degrees centrally or the 30-2 test pattern to cover a slightly broader region of 30 degrees. The aim of this study was to determine whether the 24-2 test pattern provides comparable information to the 30-2 test pattern in detecting visu

Academic research increasingly focuses on environmental sustainability as a specific societal mission to be addressed. However, the effects of the increasing sustainability orientation on output generation in public research organizations are largely unexplored. In this paper, we analyse the effects of the increasing importance of sustainability-oriented research topics on research and teaching ef
BACKGROUND: Most cerebral palsy (CP) cases have an unexplained etiology, but a role for environmental exposures has been suggested. One purported environmental risk factor is exposure to endocrine-disrupting pollutants specifically per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association between prenatal PFAS exposures and CP in Swedish children.METHODS: In this case-
