Soft x-ray emission spectroscopy is a common tool for the study of the electronic structure of molecules and solids. However, the interpretation of spectra is sometimes made difficult by overlaying lines due to satellite transitions or close-lying core holes. Also, irrelevant inner core transitions may accidentally fall in the wavelength region under study. These problems, which often arise for sp
Butterfly monitoring schemes are recording programs initiated to monitor nationwide butterfly abundance and distribution patterns, often with help from volunteers. The method generates high-resolution data, but may be associated with a degree of habitat sampling bias if volunteers prefer to survey areas perceived to be high-quality butterfly habitats. This can result in habitats becoming underrepr
Background: Our hypothesis was that a modified diet would improve blood glucose control with beneficial impact on weight management and overall health in established diabetes. Objective: This prospective interventional study investigated the clinical effect of an Okinawan-based Nordic diet on anthropometry, metabolic control, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Scandinavian type 2 diabet
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether surveillance of pulmonary nodules detected with low-dose CT (LDCT) impacted health-related quality of life and psychosocial consequences in the Swedish population-based study, Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS).DESIGN: A prospective cross-sectional study.SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS: This multicentre (five sites) observational study, which included a co
Diffusion encoding with free gradient waveforms can provide increased microstructural specificity in heterogeneous tissues compared to conventional encoding approaches. This is achieved by considering specific aspects of encoding, such as b-tensor shape, sensitivity to bulk motion and to time-dependent diffusion (TDD). In tensor-valued encoding, different b-tensor shapes are used, such as in linea
IMPORTANCE The extent to which large-caliber axonal degeneration contributes to Alzheimer disease (AD) progression is unknown. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neurofilament light (NFL) concentration is a general marker of damage to large-calibermyelinated axons. OBJECTIVE To test whether CSF NFL concentration is associated with cognitive decline and imaging evidence of neurodegeneration and white matter
The stress response is governed by automatic neurological and hormonal processes that occur before we become consciously aware of a dangerous situation. If stress ensues for 15-30 seconds, the hormonal processes may have progressed so far that recovery takes an hour or longer instead of minutes. Stress can affect our behavior and in certain professions, such as the police force and emergency servi
Importance: Breast cancer screening guidelines acknowledge the need for earlier screening for women at increased risk but provide limited guidance for women with a family history of breast cancer. A risk-adapted starting age of screening for relatives of patients with breast cancer may help supplement current screening guidelines. Objective: To identify the risk-adapted starting age of breast canc
While surgery is a cornerstone in treatment of peripheral nerve injuries, it is not a comprehensive approach, and outcome is unsatisfactory, especially sensory function. The present aim was to translate recent findings about stem- and progenitor cells to improve regenerative outcome, where the cells have to be autologous, available within the same surgical procedure, and minimally manipulated. Gra
Background: Falls reflect sentinel events in older adults, with significant negative consequences. Although fall risk factors have been identified as intrinsic (e.g., muscle weakness, balance problems) and extrinsic (e.g., home hazards), most prevention programs target only intrinsic factors. We present the rationale and design of a home-based multicomponent fall prevention program - the LIVE LiFE
Background: Adolescent depression is a common mental health problem and there is an urgent need for effective and accessible treatments. Internet-based interventions solve many obstacles for seeking and receiving treatment, thus increasing access to effective treatments. Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) for adolescent depression has demonstrated efficacy in previous trials. In o
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of plasma vitamin C and carotenoids, as indicators of fruit and vegetable intake, with the risk of type 2 diabetes. DESIGN: Prospective case-cohort study. SETTING: Populations from eight European countries. PARTICIPANTS: 9754 participants with incident type 2 diabetes, and a subcohort of 13 662 individuals from the European Prospective Investigation into C
BACKGROUND: Deregulated lipid metabolism is common in cancer cells and the mevalonate pathway, which synthesizes cholesterol, is central in lipid metabolism. This study aimed to assess statin-induced changes of the intratumoral levels of cholesterol and the expression of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) to enhance our understanding of the role of the mevalonate pathway in cancer cholest
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the mortality in hip fracture patients with regard to use of fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs), by comparing survival in exposed and nonexposed individuals. Design: This was a general population-based cohort study. Settings: Data on hip fracture patients were retrieved from three national databases. Participants: All hip fracture patients aged 60 yea

Convergence analysis of a full discretization of operator-valued differential Riccati equations Eskil Hansen Tony Stillfjord Teodor Åberg April 28, 2026 Abstract In recent previous work [E. Hansen, T. Stillfjord and T. Åberg, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., to appear], we analyzed the convergence of operator splitting methods applied to operator-valued differential Riccati equations (DRE).

Vindkraften spelar en avgörande roll i den gröna omställningen. Men vad händer när vindkraftverken nått slutet av sin livslängd? Tornen som består av enorma mängder stål återbrukas i vissa fall efter renovering men efter två–tre gånger sätter de strukturella förutsättningar stopp för återbruk och torndelarna i stål smälts oftast om till ”nytt stål”. En process som kräver mycket energi och resulterClimate change is a fact, new innovations and solutions need to be applied to mitigate the effects around the world. Greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels are the primary cause of climate change, one of them being carbon dioxide. There are many attempts to make a turn-around regarding the use of fossil fuels and one of them is wind power. However, due to extreme loads their service life is ju
Background: Chronic low-grade inflammation is a well-known risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and future cardiovascular events. Anti-inflammatory therapy can reduce the risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD) events following myocardial infarction (MI). However, it remains unknown to what extent inflammation at the time of an acute event predicts long-term outcomes. We explored whe
