Popular Abstract in Swedish Båtbenet är ett lite ben i handloven som är väsentlig för handledens funktion.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Under de senaste 300 åren har jordbrukslandskapet i Sverige genomgått stora förändringar. Detta började med att bönderna i slutet av 1600-talet erhöll en stor del av adelns jord. De fick således förvalta sin egen vinst, vilket resulterade i en rad nyodlingar och tekniska hjälpmedel. I början av 1900-talet introducerades konstgödslet och efter andra världskriget Human-induced eutrophication has rapidly become one of the most important environmental issues. The problem is largely due to the shift in agricultural practices. Farming methods have become more efficient during the last 300 years. Watercourses have been straightened out and wetlands have been reduced to increase agricultural landuse. Since the end of the 1940s, fertilization has increased dramat

Blood biomarkers have the potential to revolutionize Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, offering advantages over CSF and PET due to their accessibility, scalability and cost-effectiveness. This study evaluated the effectiveness of individual plasma biomarkers, such as phosphorylated Tau (pTau) 217, as well as biomarker combinations, with a focus on the pTau 217/β-Amyloid (Aβ) 1–42 ratio to predict amy

Methods: This retrospective, multicenter, pilot case–control study included 200 patients (100 with a uterine sarcoma and 100 with a usual-type leiomyoma, i.e. including no benign leiomyoma variants) who underwen

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is a well-recognized risk state for developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.

According to TCO (The Swedish Confederation for Professional Employees) the worst threat to the Swedish welfare is that so many people because of bad health and unemployment are not a part of the labour force. If Sweden could make the number of people with health and unemployment problems half the size as today, the GDP would increase with more than five percent. In real money this means 110 billi

På vilka värderingar och grundläggande teorier baserar sig vårt rättsystem och vad är lagens bindande kraft? Hur kan dessa teorier förklara klyftan mellan moraliska regler och lagregler?

Eftersom snabb teknisk utveckling och globalisering har förändrat sättet på vilket vi anförtror oss personuppgifter till webbplatser för sociala medier samt sökmotorer, har den Europeiska kommissionen föreslagit en ny dataskyddsförordning som kommer att förbättra skyddet för den personliga integriteteten på internet för medborgarna i EU.
