The app-based COVID Symptom Study was launched in Sweden in April 2020 to contribute to real-time COVID-19 surveillance. We enrolled 143,531 study participants (≥18 years) who contributed 10.6 million daily symptom reports between April 29, 2020 and February 10, 2021. Here, we include data from 19,161 self-reported PCR tests to create a symptom-based model to estimate the individual probability of
Atrial cardiomyopathy, characterized by abnormalities in atrial structure and function, is associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular and neurocognitive outcomes, independent of atrial fibrillation. There exists a critical unmet need for a clinical tool that is cost-effective, easy to use, and that can diagnose atrial cardiomyopathy. P wave parameters (PWPs) reflect underlying atrial
This paper provides reflections on transdisciplinary knowledge coproduction and experimentation processes from sustainability researcher perspectives. It centers on a 5-year period of collaborative research with small- and medium-sized enterprises in an Urban Living Lab in the Swedish craft beer sector. Nine reflections cover a variety of issues and potentials encountered during numerous interacti
a-particle emitters are emerging as a potent modality for disseminated cancer therapy because of their high linear energy transfer and localized absorbed dose profile. Despite great interest and pharmaceutical development, there is scant information on the distribution of these agents at the scale of the a-particle pathlength. We sought to determine the distribution of clinically approved [223Ra]R
Objective: Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) are severe complications to vaginal births with potential long-term consequences. Maternal origin has been proposed to affect the overall risk, but the association and underlying explanation are uncertain. The objective was to assess the association between maternal country of birth and OASIS. Methods: A Swedish nationwide cohort study including
A search for a heavy CP-odd Higgs boson, A, decaying into a Z boson and a heavy CP-even Higgs boson, H, is presented. It uses the full LHC Run 2 dataset of pp collisions at s = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The search for A → ZH is performed in the ℓ+ℓ−tt¯ and νν¯bb¯ final states and surpasses the reach of previous searches in diff
This paper provides an update on the fast-evolving topic of the induced polarization (IP) method applied to biogeophysics. It emphasizes new understandings of the IP phenomena associated with biological activity, pointing out new developments and applications, and identifying existing knowledge gaps. The focus is on the use of IP as related to living organisms, including micro-organisms and plants
Salinity gradient energy (SGE) can play an important role in the energy transition from fossil-based sources to renewable sources. Its potential is estimated to be around 625 TWh·a-1 corresponding to 3% of global electricity consumption [1]. SGE sources are most abundant in the estuaries where rivers meet seawater. However, it is also available in different forms such as brackish water, brine etc
This study introduces a novel approach for synthesising a surface-imprinted polymer-ordered mesoporous silica adsorbent, known as SiO2@MIPs-CAPcr, with high selectivity for chloramphenicol (CAP) adsorption by employing an activator that was regenerated by electron atom transfer radical polymerisation (ARGET ATRP). Optimal synthesising conditions for SiO2@MIPs-CAPcr have been determined, including
Globally, road traffic accidents (RTAs) remain a major cause of death, particularly among individuals aged 15–30 years. While Sweden has been at the forefront of traffic safety through the Vision Zero initiative, in-hospital management remains crucial in determining RTA outcomes. Drawing on North American evidence suggesting improved survival at trauma centres, the Swedish healthcare system has in
The twin transition, which combines green and digital innovation in economic activities, is increasingly central to policy agendas and is also receiving growing attention in regional research. However, accurately mapping green, digital and twin (both green and digital) economic activities across regions remains challenging, particularly due to data constraints. In this study, we advance this resea
I ett hållbart samhälle är tillgänglighet en viktig förutsättning för alla, oavsett deras bakgrund. Det finns olika komponenter som ingår inom begreppet tillgänglighet. En av dessa komponenter handlar om transportmöjligheten, att man ska ha möjlighet att transportera sig till olika punkter med minsta möjliga reseuppoffring. Detta kan uppnås med hjälp av kollektivtrafiken, eftersom kollektivtrafik In a sustainable society accessibility is vital and should be provided for everyone, regardless of their background. There are different components within accessibility as a concept. One of these components is transport, which has to do with the ability to transport to different destinations with minimum sacrifice. This can be achieved with public transport, because it’s available for everyone and
The aim of this study was the investigation of the photocatalytic properties of Iron{phenyl[tris(3-methylimidazole-2-ylidine)]borate}2 ([Fe(phtmeimb)2]+) by optimising reactions previously established with ruthenium-based catalysts in good yields. For the first time in several decades of research on photochemistry of iron complexes a Fe complex has been made ([Fe(phtmeimb)2]+) that has photophysic
Förevarande kandidatuppsats undersöker justitieråds konstitutionella straffansvar för brott begångna i tjänsteutövningen ur en rättshistorisk och nordisk-komparativ belysning. Hur regleras tjänstebrott på högsta juridiska nivå i svensk statsrätt, och är regleringen, bedömd utifrån regeringsformens grundläggande principer, tillfredsställande? För att besvara dessa frågor utreder uppsatsen justitierThis bachelor's thesis examines the constitutional criminal liability of Swedish Supreme Court Justices for judicial misconduct, from a historical and Nordic-comparative perspective. How has the problem of judicial misconduct on the highest level been solved in Swedish constitutional law, and is the solution, judged in light of the ambitions inherent in the Swedish constitution, satisfactory?
Access to clean drinking water is a human right and a necessity for life, yet many rely on precarious water sources across the world. The United Nations outlines a great aspiration in Agenda 2030 - that safe and affordable drinking water should be available for all by 2030. In Rio Grande do Sul (RS) in Brazil, more than one million residents rely on small-scale water supply solutions without conve
Alfa Laval’s head office in Lund, Sweden, is the centre for research, development, and production of one of their key technologies: heat exchangers. The most common of these are the gasketed plate heat exchangers (GPHE). In these the liquid channels between heat transfer plates are sealed using rubber gaskets. The sealing ability of these gaskets are thus highly important for the performance of th
Amidst global efforts to address pressing environmental challenges and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, education for sustainable development emerges as a pivotal tool for fostering societal transformation towards a more sustainable future. Within this context, competence frameworks serve as essential guidelines for integrating sustainability into education. This research investigates th
By using the site-selectivity enabled by synchrotron radiation, we can choose the ionization site on a molecule. Core-ionization can result in that the molecule dissociates into charged (and uncharged) ions. With mass spectroscopy, the dissociated fragments’ mass-over-charge can be identified in a time-of-flight spectrum. Pyridine dissociation was studied for pyridine and for pyridine mixed with p
Aftermath of the Tsunami disaster in 2004 and current COVID-19 pandemic, developing nations have faced serious economic disparities. Sri Lanka, an island nation in South Asia, has faced the same economic hardships that many economies face globally. The hardest-hit segment of this economic incongruences has been the marginal communities. Post-Tsunami disaster development scenarios have revealed fem
