Changes in drug use in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic and their long-term consequences are not well understood. We employed natural language processing and machine learning to analyse a large dataset of self-reported rates of and reasons for drug use during the pandemic, along with their associations with anxiety, depression and substance use problems post-pandemic. Our findin
Labile organic carbon is a major nutrient, controlling microbial activity in aquatic ecosystems and contributing to the global cycling of carbon. During the production and distribution of drinking water, labile carbon fractions often escape treatment, which threatens water quality and biostability. This study proposes and compares two rapid methods for monitoring the production and removal of labi
Precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) have gained increasing interest as a model to study lung biology and disease, as well as for screening novel therapeutics. In particular, PCLS derived from human tissue can better recapitulate some aspects of lung biology and disease as compared to PCLS derived from animals (e.g. clinical heterogeneity), but access to human tissue is limited. A number of different
De senaste årtiondena har samhället i stort präglats av digitalisering. Så också detaljhandeln, med en växande betydelse av digitala plattformar där människor gör sina vardagsinköp via dator, till alltmer även via mobilen. Avgörande för om människor faktiskt kan genomföra sina köp i detaljhandeln är betalningar. Betalningar har liksom detaljhandeln också blivit mer digitala, med en stadig minskninThis dissertation explores how and why certain payment methods are used in retail.Payment methods have changed in their form throughout history, and rapidly so in recent decades. Surprisingly, the treatment of payment in retail research appears detached from its purpose of use; i.e. purchasing products and services.Payment has a role to play in the digitalisation of society and is part of shaping
Background: The absence of Epithelial Membrane Protein 3 (EMP3) on red blood cells (RBCs) underlies the MAM-negative (MAM−) phenotype. EMP3 is a ubiquitous protein found at low levels in most tissues but with higher expression in hematopoietic cells. Low levels of CD44 are a signature of MAM− RBCs due its proposed physical interaction with EMP3, indicating that EMP3 stabilises CD44 in the membrane
Background/Aim: Anterior resection is the gold standard surgery for high and middle rectal tumors. In cases where anterior resection is not feasible, the surgeon resorts to a non-restorative approach such as Hartmann’s procedure or abdominoperineal resection. It is not well studied how Hartmann’s procedure impacts quality of life. This cross-sectional cohort study compares the long-term quality of
Biochemical analyses of blood can decipher physiological conditions of living animals and unravel mechanistic underpinnings of life-history strategies and trade-offs. Yet, researchers in ecology and evolution often face constraints in which methods to apply, not least due to blood volume restrictions or field settings. Here, we test the suitability of a portable biochemical analyser (Zoetis VetSca
BACKGROUND: Leukocytes have been reported to have tumor stimulating effects in colorectal cancer, among other malignancies. In line with this, earlier research has shown improved disease-free survival in patients with postoperative neutropenia compared to non-neutropenic patients following cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hypertherm intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).AIM: To evaluate the impact o
Resection of advanced rectal cancer might result in significant tissue loss, including pelvic floor and parts of the vaginal wall. Pelvic floor reconstruction using a musculocutaneous flap offers optimized healing abilities and the possibility of vaginal reconstruction. In Skåne University Hospital, two different flap techniques are used to reconstruct the perineum: the vertical rectus abdominis m
This chapter compares two digital workflows and tool selection for best practice renovation simulation in Portugal and Sweden. Both workflows are part of ongoing research projects that seek to provide a robust workflow adapted to different user needs and scale implementation. While in Portugal, the focus is on the building, the assessment is scaled up to the neighbourhood in Sweden. Geographic inf
While the eddy covariance (EC) technique is a well-established method for measuring water fluxes (i.e., evaporation or 'evapotranspiration’, ET), the measurement is susceptible to many uncertainties. One such issue is the potential underestimation of ET when relative humidity (RH) is high (>70%), due to low-pass filtering with some EC systems. Yet, this underestimation for different types of EC sy
Background. Patients on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) have been identified as a vulnerable group during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study reports the outcomes of COVID-19 in KRT patients in Sweden, a country where patients on KRT were prioritized early in the vaccination campaign. Methods. Patients on KRT between January 2019 and December 2021 in the Swedish Renal Reg
The Real-World Implementation, Deployment, and Validation of Early Detection Tools and Lifestyle Enhancement (AD-RIDDLE) project, recently launched with the support of the EU Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) public-private partnership and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), aims to develop, test, and deploy a modular toolbox platform that can reduce existing barriers to the timely detection, and

Lärande i LTH Detta blad inleds med en presentation av de personer som erhållit kompetensgraden Excellent Teaching Practi- tioner (ETP) år 2010. Temat i detta nummer är utvärderingar och olika aspekter av dessa. I boktipset recenseras en grundläggande bok om utvärdering, som tar upp ett stort antal modeller och angreppssätt. Därefter följer fyra artiklar på temat, där den första artikeln beskriver

REPORT TITLE Corruption has been a systemic problem in Armenia, and topped the list of key challenges to Armenia’s development for many years. Political-economic patronage networks were embedded in state institutions and dominated Armenia’s political economy that resulted in alleged illicit enrichment by various means.1International assessments of Armenia’s anti-corruption efforts by 2018 acknowle
