We report the discovery of TOI-1268b, a transiting Saturn-mass planet from the TESS space mission. With an age of less than 1 Gyr, derived from various age indicators, TOI-1268b is the youngest Saturn-mass planet known to date; it contributes to the small sample of well-characterised young planets. It has an orbital period of P = 8.1577080 ± 0.0000044 days, and transits an early K-dwarf star with

Objective: Previous work suggested that the ultrasound-based benign Simple Descriptors can reliably exclude malignancy in a large proportion of women presenting with an adnexal mass. We aim to validate a modified version of the Benign Simple Descriptors (BD), and we introduce a two-step strategy to estimate the risk of malignancy: if the BDs do not apply, the ADNEX model is used to estimate the ri

Frailty refers to the lack of resilience and a reduction in a person’s ability to recover following a health problem, and it is increasingly becoming a challenging aspect of ageing populations.Many older adults are exposed to polypharmacy; i.e., they continue to be on medications without timely re-evaluation. Medication reviews have proven successful in managing polypharmacy in the general populat

BackgroundEducation is expected to bring about positive behavioral changes which could lead to improved health behaviors. Parental education is a primary determinant of child health and development. However, some evidence showed inverse associations between high parental education and recommended infant and young child feeding (IYCF) in Bangladesh. How the association of parental education differs

Joel Penney made an innovative, interdisciplinary intervention into the scholarship on political participation with The Citizen Marketer: Promoting Political Opinion in the Social Media Age. By melding modern marketing frameworks with democratic theory, Penney offered a timely heuristic for rethinking citizens’ engagement with politics on social media. The “citizen marketer approach” developed in

Unga vuxna nämns ofta som bland de mest ekonomiskt utsatta grupperna och Sverige karakteriseras ofta som ett av de länder i EU som har de mest skuldsatta hushållen. Även om hushållens skuldsättning främst är kopplad till bostadslån, har även andra former av kreditanvändning blivit allt vanligare. Mot bakgrund av en ökande tillgången till lättillgängliga konsumentkrediter, en tuff bostadsmarknad meYoung adults are often mentioned as among the most financially vulnerable groups, and Sweden is often characterized as being one of the countries in the EU with the most indebted households. While this houshold indebtedness mainly is linked to home loans, also other forms of credit usage have become increasingly common. Given the increasing access to readily availabe consumer credits, a difficult

Soft tissue artefact (STA) represents one of the main obstacles for obtaining accurate and reliable skeletal kinematics from motion capture. Many studies have addressed this issue, yet there is no consensus on the best available bone pose estimator and the expected errors associated with relevant results. Furthermore, results obtained by different authors are difficult to compare due to the high v

In this work, the new ANO-R basis set for all elements of the first six periods is introduced. The ANO-R basis set is an all-electron basis set that was constructed including scalar-relativistic effects of the exact-two component (X2C) Hamiltonian and modeling the atomic nucleus by a Gaussian charge distribution, which makes the basis set suitable for calculations of both light and heavy elements.

Objectives: To present hearing results after successful primary myringoplasty surgeries registered in the Swedish Quality Registry for Myringoplasty and to evaluate the chance of hearing improvement and the risk of hearing loss. Design: A retrospective nationwide cohort study based on prospectively collected registry data between 2002 and 2012. Settings: Registry data from secondary and tertiary h

As diets change in response to ethical, environmental, and health concerns surrounding meat consumption, fermentation has potential to improve the taste and nutritional qualities of plant-based foods. In this study, cauliflower, white beans, and a 50:50 cauliflower-white bean mixture were fermented using different strains of Lactobacillus plantarum. In all treatments containing cauliflower, the pH

Introduction: Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) after degenerative meniscus tears is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in orthopaedics. Although several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have been published that showed no clear benefit compared with sham treatment or non-surgical treatment, the incidence of APM remains high. The common perception by most orthopaedic surgeons i

Background: ACMG/AMP and AMP/ASCO/CAP have released guidelines for variation interpretation, and ESHG for diagnostic sequencing. These guidelines contain recommendations including the use of computational prediction methods. The guidelines per se and the way they are implemented cause some problems. Methods: Logical reasoning based on domain knowledge. Results: According to the guidelines, several

Institutional economics has produced a string of findings about the importance of good institutions for economic growth and development. While consensus is lacking about how important institutions are, few scholars argue that institutions have no impact whatsoever. Yet, for all the knowledge produced, the results of institutional reforms are meager. This is not surprising as a central theme in the

Background: Few previous studies have examined the prevalence of giant cell arteritis (GCA). The main objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of temporal artery positive GCA (TAB+GCA) in southern Sweden.Methods: The study area is the region of Skåne in southern Sweden with a population of 1,3 million inhabitants (36% aged ⩾50 years). To be included in the study, patient should ful

Background: One of the most serious secondary manifestations of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is coronary atherosclerosis. This study aimed to evaluate whether aged garlic extract (AGE) can influence coronary artery calcification (CAC) and to predict the individual effect of AGE using a standard process for data mining (CRISP-DM). Method: This was a single-center parallel randomized controlled stud

Petrochemical enterprises in Kazakhstan discharge polluted wastewater into special recipients. Contaminants infiltrate through the soil into the groundwater, which potentially affects public health and environment safety. This paper presents the evaluation of a 7-year monitoring program from one of the factories and includes nineteen variables from nine wells during 2013–2019. Several multivariate

Introduction LUCRIS is Lund University’s research information system. Among other things, researchers can register publications, projects and activities such as conference participation, external academic engagements, and outreach (“tredje uppgiften”). LUCRIS stands for Lund University Current Research Information System. The public web portal is called Research portal. It displays the system’s in
