Spectroscopic validation of the roaming process in molecular dissociation was first reported for formaldehyde, but today roaming is acknowledged to be a nearly ubiquitous dissociation pathway. The process has been described as a frustrated dissociation process, and as such, direct detection of the roaming process is challenging. In the present study the cyclopropane dication is the starting point

PURPOSE: The gut microbiome has gained increasing recognition as an important factor influencing cancer treatment efficacy and toxicity. However, translation of this knowledge to deliver clinical benefit has been hampered by inconsistent approaches to both biospecimen sampling and investigation of microbial-based interventions, potentially reflecting inherent biases and/or barriers across research

Simultaneous digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and mechanical imaging (MI) – DBTMI – is a novel, multimodality approach to early breast cancer screening, combining high sensitivity of DBT imaging, and improved specificity of tissue stiffness analysis by MI. We have been collecting clinical DBTMI, with ethics approval, in an observational study at the Skane University Hospital Malmö. To date, we c

Overheating in residential buildings during summer are an increasing problem. Future climate will be warmer. Hence the problem is likely to grow. Furthermore, requirements regarding accepted indoor temperature have been made stricter in Sweden. This paper investigates different measures to maintain the indoor temperature at acceptable temperature levels. The study conducts dynamic simulations for

This article examines the structure and evolution of violent nativist crime in Sweden between 2009 and 2022. Drawing on a novel dataset of 2,522 incidents generated from the full register of police reports of violent criminal offenses with suspected hate motives, the study conceptualizes such violence as composed of recurring “violent scripts” – configurations of actors, settings, means, and actioThis article examines the structure and evolution of violent nativist crime in Sweden between 2009 and 2022. Drawing on a novel dataset of 2,522 incidents generated from the full register of police reports of violent criminal offenses with suspected hate motives, the study conceptualizes such violence as composed of recurring “violent scripts” – configurations of actors, settings, means, and actio

Purpose: To determine whether routinely available radiology reports, together with basic clinical data, can identify patients with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (TICH) who are at low risk of adverse events. Methods: This retrospective cohort study of adults with TICH in Region Jönköping, Sweden (2019–2021). Clinical data, findings from radiology reports and outcomes were extracted from medical

Thermoregulatory competence is key to maintaining fitness in thermally unstable environments. Previous research found that development in the warmth renders birds better able to handle mild heat stress, whereas cold postnatal development gives no apparent benefit upon mild cold exposure. It is still not known how developmental temperature affects maximal temperature tolerance limits, and even less

A recent study by Bieri et al. shows that exercise elevates hepatic glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D1 (GPLD1), which cleaves endothelial tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) to rejuvenate cerebrovascular signaling, enhance cognition in aging, and attenuate Alzheimer’s-related pathology. This liver-to-brain enzymatic axis positions hepatokines as potent mediators of e

Background: Registered nurses (RNs) in municipal home care (MHC) encounter patients with illnesses and/or disabilities. When these patients suffer a stressful event, such as the loss of a loved one, there is an increased risk of suffering further ill health. It is unclear whether RNs are aware of patients’ grief and how to support and promote their well-being and health. Aims: The aim was to explo

Self-reported family history of myocardial infarction (MI) is frequently used to assess cardiovascular risk. However, validation of self-reported family history has often been limited to small samples, and to death-certificates or self-reported medical history as reference. This study investigated the accuracy of self-reported family history of MI in a population-based cohort, using register data

BACKGROUND: Loss of, or unwanted changes in employment reduces economic wellbeing and is associated with lower quality of life. People living with chronic breathlessness are less likely to participate in the workforce. The influence of breathlessness on change in employment status is unknown. This study investigates associations between self-reported breathlessness limiting exertion (hereafter bre

Breathlessness is a common symptom in clinical practice, yet evidence for cost-effective strategies to diagnose the underlying health conditions causing breathlessness remains limited. Using Swedish population data with individuals with moderate to severe breathlessness, we developed an artificial intelligence (AI) reinforcement learning model to identify optimal, low-cost diagnostic pathways for

Background: Breathlessness is common, anxiety-provoking, and challenging to clarify in primary care. When it persists beyond four weeks, it markedly impairs quality of life, functional capacity, and prognosis, and can trigger urgent consultations if underlying causes are not recognized and managed. Chronic breathlessness is frequently multifactorial, combining cardiopulmonary disease with obesity,

This study extends the communicative approach to populism - widely used in research on populist communication - to the analysis of extremist narratives, enabling a differentiated examination of populism and extremism as two related but distinct phenomena that are often conflated in academic and public discourse. We distinguish analytically between populist communication (people-centrism, anti-elit
