Central parts of the debate between theories of consciousness concern the proposed mechanism rendering a previously unconscious state X conscious. Here, I introduce a question that comes immediately before, namely why it is X-rather than some other unconscious state Y-that gets to enter the mechanism and become conscious. This is the selection problem: accounting for the mechanism that selects whi

Purpose: The aim of this exploratory study was to investigate different aspects of attitudes to intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) among university students in Sweden, and whether those attitudes are related to students´ willingness to intervene in cases of IPVAW. Gender differences related to IPVAW attitudes and willingness to intervene were examined. Methods: The study was based on

Introduction – Adolescent depression poses a major public health concern with substantial clinical and societal implications. Both internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) and internet-delivered psychodynamic therapy (IPDT) have shown efficacy, but questions remain regarding long-term efficacy and cost-effectiveness. The present study presents a 12-month follow-up and cost-compariso

The development of new radar systems operating at sub-THz and THz frequencies with high-resolution imaging has led to new applications and enabled remote sensing for shortrange applications, such as non-destructive testing or surfaceroughness analysis. Furthermore, these remote-sensing systems open an opportunity to study downscaled real-life scenarios that involve long-range remote sensing in a c

Introduction Tattooing is common in many populations, yet population-based data on side effects remain limited. We aimed to describe the occurrence of self-reported acute- and delayed-onset side effects following tattooing and investigate individual and tattoo-related determinants in a Swedish population.Methods The Swedish Tattoo and Body Modifications Cohort includes 13 049 participants, of whom

Focus herein is on hydrogenous gases interacting with porous-carbon materials on activated biochar at pressures ranging from 0 to 100 bar and temperatures from room (ambient) to cryogenic. Neutron radiography was conducted using a custom-made cell system to simultaneously image pure gas and gas interacting with the porous carbon. From neutron attenuation, the cross sections of methane and ethane a

Purpose: Across many countries, primary care is under growing strain. Primary care clinicians face increasing workloads, costs are rising, and ageing populations are driving up demand for care. In this context, corporate actors with a for-profit objective are spotting opportunities to enter the “healthcare market,” bringing new forms of organisation and delivery into primary care. This process of

Vaccine candidates are typically identified through characterization of microbial surface antigens expressed under laboratory conditions. Here, we studied the major human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes and showed that Slr, a lipoprotein encoded by all strains, is not detected on the bacterial surface during growth in broth but nevertheless is targeted by protective antibodies in vivo, as demonstr

International law provides for the autonomy of the Åland Islands. The source of this law (“the Åland Islands Autonomy Regime”) is far from clear and much debated. A literature survey furnishes five possibilities. Thus, the Regime may have been created: (i) by the conclusion of a bilateral agreement; (ii) by unilateral declaration; (iii) by the conclusion of a bilateral agreement and the tacit acce

Objective: To describe the epidemiology, organ involvement, histopathological patterns, and clinical management of immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) in Stockholm County, Sweden. Method: Patients with an International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, Swedish Edition (ICD-10-SE) diagnosis of IgG4-RD recorded between 2019 and 2023 were identified from the Swedish National Patient

Purpose: To comparatively map primary health care (PHC) nurses’ roles across European countries (including Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden) identify convergences and divergences in scope of practice, education, roles, and regulation, and explore advanced practice and care navigation functions. The workshop engages participants to discuss experiential, organizational,

Early Music makes fundamental contributions to society and cultural identity, from mass media to tourist sites, from annual festivals to national heritage projects. Yet Early Music research often has difficulty conforming to institutional and policy-based categories and definitions at a European level, typically being divided between two major policy domains: science & research, represented by

Reliable building performance management involves reducing energy use and peak demand while maintaining indoor comfort and operational safety. Achieving these objectives requires effective strategies across the building life cycle, from early-stage design to operation. However, the availability, quality, and structure of building data vary considerably between life cycle stages. Buildings in opera
