Pain is a key unmet need and a major aspect of non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). No specific validated scales exist to identify and grade the various types of pain in PD. We report an international, cross-sectional, open, multicenter, one-point-in-time evaluation with retest study of the first PD-specific pain scale, the King's PD Pain Scale. Its seven domains include 14 items, each
Informal (dementia) care has economic consequences throughout the health care system. Whilst the health and wellbeing of the care recipient might improve, the health of the caregiver might also change, typically for the worse. Therefore, this analysis aims to examine the association between caregiving intensity and caregivers' health and health care utilization.
Airway hyperreactivity (AHR) is a major feature of asthmatic and inflammatory airways. Cigarette smoke exposure, and bacterial and viral infections are well-known environmental risk factors for AHR, but knowledge about the underlying molecular mechanisms on how these risk factors lead to the development of AHR is limited. Activation of intracellular mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/nuclear

With approximately 94 percent of traffic accidents being caused by human error, improving driver behaviour has the potential to save lives. To encourage safer driving, Volvo Cars is developing a Safety Coach feature for their mobile application. However, pilot studies of a minimum viable product (MVP) indicated low user retention, suggesting the need for design elements that better support user en
Heavy rainfall and cloudbursts are expected to increase as a result of climate change, putting greater demands on sustainable stormwater management. This study investigated the possibilities and challenges perceived by Swedish municipalities and water and wastewater utilities in the implementation of sustainable stormwater solutions. Additionally, the study examines how the proposed expansion of t
As data generation accelerates globally, organizations accumulate vast amounts of unused information, commonly referred to as dark data. While dark data is widely recognized as holding potential decision value, it persistently remains inaccessible, revealing a paradox between perceived importance and practical neglect. This study examines how organizations in Sweden make dark data accessible for d
A new genus and species of emperor butterfly (Nymphalidae, Apaturinae) is described based on an exceptionally well-preserved specimen from the "Calcaire de Campagne Calavon" limestone of southern France (early Oligocene age, approximately 34–28 Mya). Most parts of the right wings and upper parts of the left wings are visible, with complete venation and even wing patterns. The head and thorax are c
Methane (CH₄) emissions from landfills are a key uncertainty in Sweden’s national greenhouse gas inventory. This thesis evaluates whether UAV-based CH₄ measurements can complement inventory-based estimates, using Filborna landfill in southern Sweden as a case study. UAV-derived emissions from 2022–2024 were compared with an IPCC Tier 2 First Order Decay model, reproduced from Sweden’s national inv
Att identifiera proteinmönster associerade med lungsyndromet acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) hos patienter med underliggande sepsis är en central utmaning inom intensivvårdsforskning. Konventionella univariata metoder riskerar att missa icke-linjära associationer och högre ordningens interaktioner som speglar syndromets sanna komplexitet, och systematisk utvärdering av alternativa metodIdentifying proteomic patterns associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in sepsis patients is a central challenge in critical care research. Standard univariate approaches may miss non-linear associations and higher-order interactions that reflect the true complexity of the syndrome, yet systematic evaluation of alternative methods is lacking. This thesis introduces a unified eva
Abstract – Introduction: Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is associated with substantial impairment and high healthcare use, particularly among patients with chronic symptoms, psychiatric comorbidity, and poor response to standard interventions. Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a promising emotion-focused approach, but evidence in treatment-resistant SSD remains limited. Methods
Universities are widely understood to be sites of free expression, knowledge-seeking institutions that serve the public good while encouraging personal development of individuals. They typically uphold and communicate institutional integrity and ethics, seeking to encourage open communication, equip students with critical thinking, and foster civil participation. For the Social Sciences, questions
Atmospheric particles play a significant role in radiative forcing through light scattering and new methods are called for to better characterize their impact. Typical Lidar systems emit single wavelength light, not utilizing full spectral information from scattering measurements. This thesis aims to use a hyperspectral lidar system to measure the spectral dependence of scattering and absorption
Air pockets in pressurized pipelines may reduce hydraulic capacity, increase head losses, and affect system operation. In downward sloping pipe sections, a key question is whether the water flow can transport a trapped air pocket downstream or whether the air is likely to remain stationary, which would require an air valve to evacuate the air. This thesis compares selected criteria and guidance so
OBJECTIVE: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are chronic, relapsing inflammatory diseases, yet reliable biomarkers for detecting relapse and organ involvement remain limited. This study aimed to identify plasma protein biomarkers that distinguish active disease from remission and to explore markers associated with lung and kidney involvement.METHODS: Plasma
