Background: Testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC) originates during fetal life. Fetal exposure to environmental chemicals may contribute to its development, but epidemiological data are lacking. We investigated per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which can act as endocrine disruptors during fetal development, and TGCC risk in adulthood. Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study of 549
A mobile gamma spectrometer's series of pulse height distributions (gamma spectra) acquired when passing a point source contains enough information to derive the distance to the source, its shielding and activity. Two Excel routines, SODAC and SSC, have been developed to determine these source parameters. SODAC determines the source-road distance by finding the best fit of the measured series of t
The circular economy (CE) is argued as a possible model for dealing with value chain instabilities in global production networks. Since geographical proximity is central to unlocking circular potential, x-shoring (including concepts like reshoring, resourcing, or friendshoring) is arguably key to this process. Often, spatial restructurings of the CE are embraced without a critical examination of t
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) occurs in approximately 30% of people with highly symptomatic post-COVID-19 condition (PCC). It involves several symptoms that limit physical and psychological functions and cause reduced quality of life. Evidence for different treatments of POTS and PCC is limited, and this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of individually tailored physical e
This study adopts a configurational approach to discover conditions common to graduates from venture creation programs who take a particular learning pathway to high entrepreneurial passion. Our theoretical framework identifies two primary sources of experiential learning (direct and vicarious experience) and three temporal vantage points (pre-, peri-, and post-education) conducive to such conditi
Objective: A growing body of evidence suggests patients with late-onset seizures are at an increased risk of stroke, but the potential for reducing cardiovascular morbidity through risk factor screening and management is unknown. We aim to determine whether individuals with new-onset unprovoked seizures after middle age should undergo vascular risk assessment. The long follow-up needed to assess s
Artikeln utforskar den snabba och COVID-19 pandemiframkallade migrationen från campus till digital undervisning 2020–2021. Migrationsprocessen erbjuder en möjlighet att undersöka flera viktiga frågor relaterade till digital undervisning, lärande och utbildning. Baserat på vår studie av situationen för School of Social Work vid Tata Institute of Social Sciences i Mumbai, Indien, och Socialhögskola
This article critically engages with the concept of screen time. We explore the screen time recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and their application in a Swedish context. We also investigate the experiences and opinions of the recommendations and advice on screen time, as well as screen media use in early childhood among parents of young children (0–3 years of age) in Sweden.
Background: Osteonecrosis (ON) is a potentially disabling skeletal complication of cancer treatment. Although symptomatic osteonecrosis (sON) is well-known in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), with an incidence around 6%, studies on sON in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of sON in children treated for HL. P
Purpose: This study aims to explore the experiences of care, psychosocial support, and psychosocial wellbeing among patients treated for COVID-19 in intensive care 12 to 18 months after discharge. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Semi-structured interviews were performed with 20 adult patients treated for COVID-19 12 to 18 months after being discharged fro
Background: The management of patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) requires imaging diagnostics of good quality and accurate measurement of the degree of slippage. In Sweden, three different radiological methods are commonly used: the calcar femorale method; the Billing method; and the Head-shaft angle described by Southwick. Purpose: To evaluate whether any of the three most com

Scand J Gastroenterol 1994;29:1001-1008. Background: The intestinal barrier properties are impaired during inflammation and sepsis, but the mechanisms behind this are unknown and were therefore investigated du
South Korea's democratization appeared to mean the demise of a harsh political style that was dominant during the country's rapid industrialization. The 2012 presidential election placed in power a leader who deliberately invoked the style and policies of that predemocratic period. The election saw a sharp divide between voters aged fifty and over, who overwhelmingly supported the winning candidat
I tidigare forskning inom strategisk kommunikation har klimatförändringar undersökts utifrån ett rationellt sätt att kommunicera olika politiska, företagsmässiga eller vetenskapliga intressen. Dessa studier förhåller sig ofta till känslor som antingen psykologiska effekter av planerad kommunikation eller som redan existerande faktorer vilka påverkar förståelsen av frågan. I dessa studier anses denPrevious research has studied the strategic communication of climate change as a rational and purposeful means of communicating about climate change in accordance with political, corporate or scientific interests. These studies often consider emotions either as the psychological effects of planned communication, or as pre-existing attachments that influence an individual's understanding of the iss
This article offers a development of Garfinkel’s (1984) breaching experiments. The discussed breaches are not artificially staged to provoke a reaction; instead, they occur spontaneously in their context—in this case, the design field. Also, the focus shifts from the breaches to the people enacting them, the breachers. Three examples of breachers are compared, enabling a deep understanding of what
Echinolittorina malaccana, a marine gastropod living on rocky shores along the Indo-West Pacific coasts, shows consistent mate choice in which males prefer to mate with females slightly larger than themselves. Previous studies suggest that the strength of this preference is, to a certain extent, context dependent, being influenced by both demographic and individual (potentially genetic) factors. T
BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) after stroke has significant health benefits if it is conducted regularly, with sufficient intensity and duration. Because of the health benefits, it is important to identify those below the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended level of PA. However, few studies have assessed the level of PA after stroke in relation to the WHO recommendations and which soci
