Tensor-valued encoding in diffusion MRI allows probing of microscopic anisotropy in tissue, however, time-dependent diffusion (TDD) can bias results unless b-tensors are carefully tuned to account for TDD. We propose two novel strategies for tuning b-tensors to enable accurate measurements without interference from TDD due to restricted diffusion. The first strategy involves identifying encoding t
Background: Optimal long-term follow-up (LTFU) care for survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult (CAYA) cancer can improve or maintain their quality of life by prevention and early treatment of late effects. However, optimal LTFU care is not provided to all CAYA cancer survivors. This systematic review sought to identify associated barriers, facilitators and other factors of LTFU care fo
Access to outdoor leisure activities is central to supporting active and healthy ageing. To address the lack of research on services supporting continued engagement, this study examines how public, voluntary and private sectors provide outdoor recreation services for older adults. This study uses a qualitative research design to draw on interviews, a workshop, and field observations conducted in a
In the face of climate change, today’s young people need to balance the challenges of being active and maintaining mental health. This study investigated climate resilience, meaning patterns of climate engagement and mental health among adolescents. Using latent profile analysis, we identified three profiles in a sample of N=603 Swedish adolescents: climate-resilient (17%, active and not impaired)
OBJECTIVES: To assess the risk of incident cardiovascular disease in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome, overall and stratified by Ro/SSA and La/SSB autoantibody status.METHODS: A cohort of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome in Sweden (n=960) and matched controls from the general population (n=9,035) were included, and data extracted from the National Patient Register to identify event
Upcycling is a process in which used or waste products and materials are repaired, reused, repurposed, refurbished, upgraded and remanufactured in a creative way to add value to the compositional elements. It has been part of human life throughout history, and the past few years have seen its revival, driven by multiple factors including growing concern for the environment and resource scarcity. U
Literature investigating highly skilled Chinese migrants has so far focused on their role as drivers of new entrepreneurship as well as innovation in firms and regions, although their role in supporting small and medium enterprises' (SMEs) engagement in global innovation networks (GINs) is still underexplored. The participation in GINs is a key for high-tech SMEs, which rely on sophisticated knowl
Abstract Body:Starting out from a joint Nordic collaboration initiative in 2008 resulting in the development of a Nordic Master Program in Gerontology (NordMaG), followed by the establishment of graduate schools integrated with two national excellence centers for aging research in Sweden, in 2014 the Swedish National Graduate School for Competitive Science on Aging and Health (SWEAH) was establish
Denna avhandling utforskar den meta-etiska frågan: Vilka egenskaper krävs av ett normativt kritiskt begrepp så att det både kan (a) härledas från den sociala faktiska verkligheten av gällande normer, praktiker och institutioner i ett givet samhälle och (b) vara utgångpunkt för radikal kritik? Radikal kritik förstås i avhandlingen som en kritik bortom anklagelser om partiskhet gentemot det rådandeThis thesis explores the meta-ethical question: What properties would be required of a normative critical concept in order for it to be (a) derived from the social facticity of prevailing norms, practices and institutions in a given society and (b) still be capable of informing radical critique? This thesis takes radical critique to mean one that escapes all charges of status quo biases and thus t
Aims: The aim is to discuss implications of consensus culture in combination with media policy in Sweden with regard to the Swedish COVID-19 strategy in the spring of 2020.

INTRODUCTION: There is limited knowledge on how the SARS-CoV-2 affects pregnancy outcomes. Studies investigating the impact of COVID-19 in early pregnancy are scarce and information on long-term follow-up is lacking.The purpose of this project is to study the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy outcomes and long-term maternal and child health by: (1) establishing a database and biobank from pregnant w
Background: Patients presenting with synchronous colorectal liver metastases are increasinglybeing considered for a curative treatment, and the liver-first approach is gaining popularity in thiscontext. However, little is known about the completion rates of the liver-first approach and itseffects on survival.Methods:A systematic review and meta-analysis of liver-first strategy for colorectal liver
The reaction of perbenzylated (±)-myo-inositol 1,2-bis- and 1,2,6-tris-phosphites with benzyl bromoacetate, followed by catalytic (Pd/C) hydrogenolysis affords (±)-myo-inositol 1,2-bis- and 1,2,6-tris(carboxymethylphosphonate). The same procedure is used for the synthesis methyl α-D-mannopyranoside 2,3,4-tris(carboxymethylphosphonate).
BACKGROUND: Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can experience obstacles in traditional health care situations due to difficulties associated with their impairment.OBJECTIVE: This controlled study aims to investigate the feasibility of an internet-based support and coaching intervention (IBSC), including 2 weekly chat sessions and 2 c
