Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease that exhibits patterns of usual interstitial pneumonia with honeycombing. IPF is characterized by damaged distal lung epithelium with excessive tissue scarring and extracellular matrix remodeling. The etiology of IPF is unknown and current therapies cannot end or reverse disease progression. Aberrant reactivation of developmental pathways is e
Background: Coffee, tea, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), and low- and no-calorie-sweetened beverages (LNCSBs) are generally frequently consumed in the Nordic and Baltic countries. These beverages have also been related to potential health effects. This scoping review describes the evidence for the role of coffee, tea, SSBs, and LNCSBs for health-related outcomes as a basis for setting and updati
Metal cutting technology plays an important role in the automotive and aeronautic sectors, both of whichare important for the Swedish economy. Both make use of traditional grey cast iron and difficult-to-machine materials like titanium alloys and compacted graphite iron. The tools used to machine thesematerials wear at varying rates depending on factors such as contact temperature, pressure, and t
Fat-soluble vitamin D is an essential bioactive compound important for human health. Insufficient vitamin D levels can result not only in bone disease but also in other disorders, such as cancer, metabolic disorders, and diseases related to poor immune function. The current methods commonly used for vitamin D analysis are often applied to determine the levels of the most abundant metabolite in pla
Introduction: Long-term intense training leads to structural, functional, and electrical remodeling of the heart. How different sports affect the heart has not been fully investigated, particularly for female athletes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the morphology of 12-lead resting electrocardiogram (ECG) in elite female handball players compared to non-athlete female subjects. P
OBJECTIVES: The occurrence of hand and forearm disorders related to vibration exposure, adjusted for relevant background factors, is scarcely reported. We analysed the prevalence of such conditions in a large population cohort, stratified by sex, and associations with exposure to vibrating hand-held tools.DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study.SETTING: Individuals in the Malmö Diet and Cance
The success of social movements is highly dependent on their sustainability, as in their efforts to produce meaningful change, they inevitably encounter oppressive dominant forces. With the advent of the social media era, scholarly research on collective action has acquired an additional dimension, bringing the role of their communicative constitution to the forefront of discussions. However, a de
The utilization of low calorific value gases (LCVG) in combustion devices presents particular challenges in terms of ignition and sustained combustion stability due to the presence of non-combustible components. Moderate or intense low-oxygen dilution (MILD) combustion has emerged as a promising technology for LCVG combustion, offering numerous advantages such as high combustion efficiency, reduce
This paper examines the reaction-to-fire behaviour of building materials containing phase change materials by predicting their fire classification according to the European reaction-to-fire classification system (Euroclasses). While various building materials containing PCMs exist today, their application in buildings has been somewhat limited due to the fire behaviour of these building materials.
BackgroundInterventions that are co-created with end-users, and that are informed by behavior change or implementation theories, support implementation in real world settings. However, injury prevention programs for youth athletes have typically been developed by experts with no, or insufficiently described, end-user involvement and without guidance by theories. The aim of the current study was to
Context. The third Gaia data release provides photometric time series covering 34 months for about 10 million stars. For many of those stars, a characterisation in Fourier space and their variability classification are also provided. This paper focuses on intermediate- to high-mass (IHM) main sequence pulsators (M'a ¥''1.3'M') of spectral types O, B, A, or F, known as β Cep, slowly pulsating B (SP
This thesis includes one introductory chapter and three independent papers. The first paper adds to the broad literature regarding the effect of alcohol consumption on educational attainment. Given that no consensus exists in the literature regarding this paper adds to the literature by analyzing the effect of alcohol consumption on educational attainment using a life cycle approach. In addition
In this work, we present a stroboscopic detection technique for the study of oscillating nanoscale objects. This optical read-out gives a position accuracy better than 1 nm which is a fraction of both the diffraction limit and the pixel size. The advantage of this stroboscopic method compared to conventional time-averaging techniques, is the time-resolution it provides as well as being non-invasiv
A close reading of Akira Kurosawa's film Seven Samurai (1954), constitutes the core of this dissertation. The hermeneutic method worked out by Fredric Jameson in The Political Unconscious. Narrative as a Socially Symbolic Act (1981), is applied. An argument is developed to the effect that Kurosawa's much reputed humanism is shown to have its main source, not in the Western philosophi
This doctoral dissertation deals with a phenomenon that is often referred to in sports, but still poorly understood from a scientific angle: psychological momentum (PM). No consensus has been agreed on how to label this phenomenon, and other terms such as momentum or behavioural momentum (BM) are often used interchangeably. In everyday language, PM can be explained by periods in a match where ever
Till avtalstypen tillverkningsavtal hör olika avtal om tillverkning av produkter, exempelvis båtar, flygplan, klädesplagg och entreprenader. Avtalen kan klassificeras antingen som tillverkningsköp eller som materiella uppdragsavtal, baserat på vilken part som tillhandahåller materialet för tillverkningen. Det får i sin tur avgörande betydelse för den rättsliga regleringen. Köplagen är direkt tillä
Den 1 december 2025 trädde nya straffbestämmelser i kraft i svensk rätt som kriminaliserar oskuldskontroller, oskuldsintyg och oskuldsingrepp. Reformen har motiverats som ett led i arbetet mot hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck som syftar till att stärka skyddet för kvinnor i hedersbaserade kontexter. Samtidigt väcker kriminaliseringen grundläggande frågor om straffrättens funktion och gränser vid On 1 December 2025, new criminal provisions came into force in Swedish law criminalizing virginity tests, virginity certificates, and virginity procedures. The reform has been justified as part of the efforts against honour-related violence and oppression that aim to strengthen the protection of women in honour-based contexts. At the same time, the criminalization raises fundamental questions abou
Licensavtal spelar en central roll som medel för kommersialisering av intellektuella prestationer och resurser. Genom licensavtal kan en rättighetshavare ge någon annan rätt att nyttja en immaterialrätt inom avtalets ramar, utan att rättigheten som sådan överlåts. I många fall är avtalen dessutom varaktiga, eftersom nyttjanderätten består under viss tid. Frågan om förtida upphörande aktualiseras dLicence agreements play a central role in commercialising intellectual achievements and resources. Through such agreements, a rights holder can grant another party the right to use an intellectual property right within the agreement’s framework, without transferring the right itself. In many cases, the agreements are long-term, as the right of use remains in force for a certain period. The issue o
Den här uppsatsen undersöker villkoren för vårdpersonalens yrkesansvar och motsvarande ansvarsutkrävande processer som aktualiseras vid omedvetet oaktsamma misstag i yrkesutövningen. Processen är viktig i en så riskfylld och samhällsviktig verksamhet som hälso- och sjukvården, där vårdpersonalen är den yttersta försäkran om att människor ska få en patientsäker vård. Riskerna för patientsäkerheten This essay examines the conditions of the duties of healthcare professionals and the corresponding processes of accountability activated by negligent mistakes within the profession. Accountability is important in such a hazardous yet crucial societal institution as the healthcare system, where health workers is the primary insurance for a patient-safe healthcare. The risks threatening patient-safe
