ObjectivesUncertainty among healthcare providers about patients’ ability to make care decisions is a barrier to shared decision-making. We aimed to assess the self-reported decision-making ability of patients with cancer at the end of life.MethodsData from 11 countries of adults with a limited life expectancy and cancer as the primary diagnosis were used. Participants completed a questionnaire, in
To address the challenges of an ageing population, it is important to promote health by identifying factors for healthy ageing. The aim of this study was to investigate the bidirectional association between physical activity (PA) and sleep in healthy Japanese super-seniors over the age of 80. For approximately 1 year, 124 participants wore wearable devices and answered daily lifestyle questionnair
Anthropogenic land-use change (LUC) substantially impacts climate dynamics, primarily through modifications in the surface biogeophysical (BGP) and biogeochemical (BGC) fluxes, which alter the exchange of energy, water, and carbon with the atmosphere. Despite the established significance of both the BGP and BGC effects, their relative contribution to climate change remains poorly quantified. In th
The boreal forest covers approximately 12 million km² and contains one-third of the terrestrial vegetation carbon, making it a vital component of the global carbon cycle. The impact of forest harvesting (e.g. clear-cuts) and forest fires on forest carbon budgets under climate change is still not well understood. This study presents results from simulations with the process-based dynamic globalvege
Boreal forests are key to global carbon (C) sequestration and storage. However, the potential impacts of climate change on these forests could be profound. Nearly 70 % of the European boreal forests are intensively managed, but our understanding of the combined effects of forest management and climate change on the forest's integral role as a C sink is still limited. In this study, we aim to fill
The Fennoscandian boreal and mountain regions harbour a wide range of vegetation types, from boreal forest to high alpine tundra and barren soils. The area is facing a rise in air temperature above the global average and changes in temperature and precipitation patterns. This is expected to alter the Fennoscandian vegetation composition and change the conditions for areal land use such as forestry
The global water and carbon cycles are greatly influenced by terrestrial vegetation, making trustworthy representations of dynamic biosphere–hydrosphere interactions a crucial component of both ecosystem and climate models. This paper comprehensively evaluates the hydrological performance of a leading dynamic global vegetation model Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS), using
Boreal forests play a crucial role in global carbon sequestration and storage, yet their vulnerability to climate change remains a significant concern. We present results from simulations with the process-based dynamic global vegetation model LPJ-GUESS of the combined effects of climate change and forest management on the carbon sink capacity of a boreal forest in southern Sweden. We compared two
Aim: Earth observation-based estimates of land–atmosphere exchange of carbon are essential for understanding the response of the terrestrial biosphere to climatic change and other anthropogenic forcing. Temperature, soil water content and gross primary production are the main drivers of ecosystem respiration (Reco), and the main aims of this study are to develop an Reco model driven by long-term g
Efficient scheduling is vital for railway maintenance, which is increasingly challenged by rising train traffic and infrastructure wear. Trackwork often necessitates the reduction of train speeds and the partial or complete closure of tracks. Despite advancements in maintenance technology, the efficiency of planning processes, especially the repetitive tasks of planners and the adaptation to unfor
Svensk hälso- och sjukvård innehåller i dagsläget ett stort antal informationssystem som inte kommunicerar med varandra digitalt. Detta minskar patientsäkerheten och leder till stora effektivitetsförluster inom verksamheten. Ett aktuellt ämne på både lokal, regional och nationell nivå är därför hur dessa system kan integreras. I denna uppsats presenterar vi ett ramverk för utvärdering av de integr

Methods: In this work, we extend a recently introduced method to describe classical skyrmion textures coupled to dynamical itinerant electrons. In this scheme, the electron dynamics is described via nonequilibrium Gre
