SUSTAINABILITY is increasingly framed as a task to be solved in and through cities, not least by planning and designing built environments that ‘nudges’ individuals towards sustainable ways of living. Realising visions of a sustainable urban future is thus at least partially dependent upon affecting individual and collective behaviors. So, what happens when coherent visions of sustainable urban de
Background: Opioid substitution treatment (OST) with methadone or buprenorphine is the most effective means of treating opioid dependence. If these substances are used by people who are not undergoing OST, they can however carry serious risks. This article examines the lifetime prevalence, motives, and drug sources for such use, as well as geographical differences in these variables. Methods: Stru
There is a belief that the pace of society is accelerating due to digital technologies, but there is also concern that these technologies will replace care staff and negatively impact the quality of care for older people. In 2023, a Swedish municipality began offering video visits to homecare users, yet little is known about the implications of this digital technology on the perception of time. Th
Online Workshop 30th Sept. – 1st Oct. 2020 Machine Learning for Segmentation of 3D Structures This online workshop is hosted by the Centre for Quantification of Imaging Data from MAX IV (QIM) and focuses on segmentation of 3D structures in microscopy images using machine learning. You will learn how to apply state-of-the art machine learning tools to segment your own data. We will focus on the tra

Purpose This study is designed to estimate the prevalence of epilepsy associated with TSC in Sweden and to describe treatment, morbidity, and mortality of TSC patients with epilepsy. Methods Register data for 2004–2014 was obtained from the National Board of Health and Welfare in Sweden. Patients with TSC were identified using ICD-10 codes. Epilepsy was identified using ICD-10 codes, interventions
Political instability the last decades has forced millions of people to migrate from their homelands. In Sweden today, 1.6 million are born abroad, of which the largest immigrant groups originate from the Middle East. Immigrants from these areas represent high risk populations for type 2 diabetes with prevalence of type 2 diabetes twice as high compared to the native Swedish population. The mechan
This paper aims to present a recently started project about the heritage of subaltern people in Sweden. In the paper we focus on the parts of the project that concerns the rural history of the 18th and 19th centuries, especially crofters. The background to the project is the introduction of major changes in the Swedish Historic Environments Act in 2014. A radical novelty is that remains of human aThis paper aims to present a recently started project about the heritage of subaltern people in Sweden.

Many extensions of the Standard Model predict new resonances decaying to a Z, W, or Higgs boson and a photon. This paper presents a search for such resonances produced in pp collisions at s=13 TeV using a data set with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1 collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The Z/W/H bosons are identified through their decays to hadrons. The data are found to be consisten
Estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR) were measured in the same laboratory in more than 4000 breast cancer biopsy samples obtained from 15 different hospitals during ten years. ER was measured with isoelectric focusing and PgR with the dextran-coated charcoal method and Scatchard analysis. The distribution pattern for both ER and PgR was during this time period and for the different hospi
Hong and Kao (2004) proposed a class of general applicable wavelet-based tests for serial correlation of unknown form in the residuals from a panel regression model. The tests can be applied to both static and dynamic panel models. Their test, however, is computationally difficult to implement, and simulation studies show that the test has poor small-sample properties. In this paper, we extend GenHong and Kao (2004) proposed a class of general applicable wavelet-based tests for serial correlation of unknown form in the residuals from a panel regression model.

Portfolio optimization involves a tradeoff between maximizing expected returnand minimizing risk. In practice, useful formulations also include various costs and constraints that regularize the problem and reduce the risk due to estimation errors, resulting in solutions that depend on a number of hyperparameters. As the number of hyperparameters grows, selecting their value becomes increasingly imPortfolio selection involves a trade-off between maximizing expected return and minimizing risk.

Applying media analysis, this article addresses how the exclusion of Muslim women from fields of common public interest in Sweden, such as partaking as an active citizen, is materialized. Focusing on a specific event—the cancellation of a screening of Burka Songs 2.0—and the media coverage and representation of the cancellation, it discusses the role of discourses of gender equality, secularity anApplying media analysis, this article addresses how the exclusion of Muslim women from fields of common public interest in Sweden, such as partaking as an active citizen, is materialized.

Objectives: To address the efficacy and safety of secukinumab in comparison with placebo in active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who had an inadequate response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. Methods: Databases of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched to identify the relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). R
Aims: Sorbitol and myo-inositol levels and morphology of sural nerve were compared with nerve function and clinical neuropathy in men with diabetic, impaired (IGT), and normal glucose tolerance. Methods: After neurography of sural nerve and determinations of sensory thresholds for vibration, warm and cold on the foot, whole nerve sural nerve biopsy was performed in 10 men with Type 1 diabetes mell

Scope: To explore the effect of a healthy Nordic diet on the global transcriptome profile in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of subjects with metabolic syndrome. Methods and results: Subjects with metabolic syndrome undergo a 18/24 week randomized intervention study comparing an isocaloric healthy Nordic diet with an average habitual Nordic diet served as control (SYSDIET study). Altoge
he requirement of flexibility in the modern industries demands robots that can be efficiently and quickly adapted to different tasks. A way to achieve such a flexible programming paradigm is to instruct robots with task goals and leave planning algorithms to deduct the correct sequence of actions to use in the specific context. A common approach is to connect the skills that realize a semantically
The aim of this study was to examine whether autoantibodies to: ZnT8-Tryptophan (ZnT8WA), ZnT8-Arginine (ZnT8RA) or ZnT8-Glutamine (ZnT8QA) correlated with C-peptide or other autoantibodies and to assess diagnostic sensitivity of ZnT8WRQA. Specimens from 270 newly diagnosed diabetic subjects (age 15--34 years) and after five 5 years duration of disease were examined. Four linear regression models
There are increasing reports of deaths and serious complications associated with the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Bleeding may occur in patients when NPWT is applied to a wound with exposed blood vessels or vascular grafts, possibly due to mechanical deformation and hypoperfusion of the vessel walls. Recent evidence suggests that using a rigid barrier disc to protect underlying t
The Selvester QRS scoring system has previously been shown to enable estimation of myocardial infarct (MI) size by quantitative evaluation of the 12-lead ECG. The aim of this study was to assess the system's ability to detect and quantify lateral MI, using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) as reference standard.
