The Swedish response to the Corona-crisis has been relatively moderate compared to most other countries. Sweden did not opt for a total lockdown, did not close elementary schools, day cares, bars, restaurants, movie theaters, and other places of business. Public gatherings of up to 50 people are still allowed until further notice. Sweden’s intra EU borders remain open – in contrast to its neighbor
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this exploratory study were to investigate the feasibility of multidimensional diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MddMRI) in assessing diffusion heterogeneity at both a macroscopic and microscopic level in prostate cancer (PCa).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Informed consent was obtained from 46 subjects who underwent 3.0-T prostate multiparametric MRI, complemented with a
The optimal time interval from neoadjuvant therapy to surgery in the treatment of esophageal cancer is not known. The aim of this study was to investigate if a prolonged interval between completed neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery was associated with improved histological response rates and survival in a population-based national register cohort. The population-based cohort study included
Several species of migratory swifts breed in the Western Palearctic, but they differ in reproductive traits and nonbreeding areas explored in Africa. We examined survival and recapture probabilities of two species of swifts by capture–mark–recapture data collected in northern Italy (Pallid Swift Apus pallidus in Carmagnola, Turin, and Common Swift Apus apus in Guiglia, Modena) in the breeding seas
OBJECTIVES: Many hairdressers experience work-related symptoms from the airways caused by bleaching powder. This contains persulphates, which could be irritating to the mucous membrane and also may evoke an allergic reaction. However, specific IgE antibodies are difficult to detect. We found earlier that hairdressers with work-related bleaching powder-associated nasal symptoms reacted to persulpha
Sediment sequences spanning the last 800 years from two small lakes in the south Swedish uplands were explored for assessment of effects of changing human population, local land-use practices and airborne pollution on lake-ecosystem functioning and resilience. Variations in nutrient cycling and deposition of lithogenic elements were studied, using a multi-proxy stratigraphic approach. Carbon and n
Clonal plants from poor habitats benefit less from morphologically plastic responses to heterogeneity than plants from more productive sites. In addition, physiological integration has been suggested to either increase or decrease the foraging efficiency of clonal plants. We tested the capacity for biomass production and morphological response in two closely related, rhizomatous species from habit
Kuannersuit Glacier, a valley glacier on Disko Island in west Greenland, experienced a major surge from 1995 to 1998 where the glacier advanced 10.5 km and produced a similar to 65 m thick stacked sequence of debris-rich basal ice and meteoric glacier ice. The aim of this study is to describe the tectonic evolution of large englacial thrusts and the processes of basal ice formation using a multipr
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn stod år 2020 för 21% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser (Boverket, 2023a). För att synliggöra och därigenom minska klimatpåverkan vid uppförandet av nya byggnader blev det den 1 januari 2022 obligatoriskt att genomföra klimatdeklaration av nya byggnader som kräver bygglov, med vissa undantag (Boverket, 2021a). Klimatdeklarationen ska redovisa klimatpåverkan frånThe construction and real estate sector accounted for 21 % of Sweden’s total green-house gas emissions in 2020. To mitigate the impact of new buildings, the Swedish government introduced a new law on climate declaration for new buildings called “lag om klimatdeklaration”. The law requires most new buildings, which already re-quired building permits, to perform a climate declaration. The climate de
Idag finns det krav om trafikförsäkring för motorfordon i Sverige, för att garantera skälig ersättning till de drabbade. Försäkringsbolagen har dock en rätt att föra regresstalan mot den som vållade olycksfallet. Ifall olyckan orsakas av ett felfungerande fordon så kan regresstalan riktas mot fordonets tillverkare med stöd av PAL. Självkörande fordon kan dock komplicera tillämpningen av PAL på tvIn Sweden today, there is a mandatory vehicle insurance, to ensure fair compensation to the injured parties. However, the insurance companies have a right to recourse against the faulty party. If the accident was caused by a faulty vehicle, a claim can be made against the vehicle manufacturer, as stated in the product liability act. Autonomous vehicles can, however, complicate the use of the prod
Den föreliggande studien grundades på tidigare forskning som funnit samband mellan email-användande och stressrelaterade sjukdomar, såsom utbrändhet och emotionell utmattning, samt en ökad daglig stress. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan email overload, copingstrategier och upplevd stress. Vidare frågeställningar som studien baserades på var ifall det finns ett sThe present study was based on previous research that has found connections between email usage and stress-related diseases, such as burnout and emotional exhaustion, as well as an increased daily stress. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether there is a connection between email overload, coping strategies and percieved stress. Further issues on which the study was based was if there
Huvudansvaret för barns fostran och vårdnad ligger hos föräldrarna. Trots detta så har samhället en skyldighet att träda in då en förälder inte kan full-följa sin vårdnadsplikt. Detta ansvar återfinns i den sociala barnavården. Mycket har hänt inom den sociala barnavården det senaste århundradet, delvis på grund av en förändrad syn på barn och inte minst har Förenta nationernas konvention om barneThe main responsibility for the child's upbringing and custody lies in the hands of the parents. However, society has an obligation to step in when the parents can´t fulfill their duty of care. This responsibility is called the child welfare. Much has happened in the area of child welfare during the last century, partly because of a changed view of the child, but also because the United Nation
People in industrialized countries spend most of their time indoors. In this respect, a pleasant indoor environment is therefore very important, and daylight plays a fundamental role in this matter. A good lighting design in offices has proved to improve the worker’s wellbeing and increase their productivity. It has become an important part of the early stages of the building design. Simultaneous
Inventories are one of the largest investments made by trading companies and as a result an e®ective inventory control is important to obtain a low opportunity cost of capital for the carried items. Despite this, many small and middle sized companies lack access to a high-quality tool for this purpose. The past few years have also showed that the Internet as a sales channel has become of greater i
Corporate Social Responsibility is today a recognised concept companies have to act on in order to meet the stakeholders’ increased demands. An increased environmental debate in the society as well as increased regulations requires companies to focus on environmental questions to a greater extent than before. Companies need to control their environmental performance and focus on their significant
Östra Tommarp is the name of a small village situated outside Simrishamn in eastern Skåne. Bioagro-life is an ongoing project sponsored by the EU. The main ambition is to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from the process of heatproduction. The project will produce a more environmental friendly alternative to present use of burners with oil as fuel. The heating of the facilities within the villag
OBJECTIVE: To clarify, using an extended adoption design, the sources of parent-offspring transmission for anxiety disorder (AD) and its major subforms and their familial cross-generational relationship with major depression (MD). METHODS: Offspring (born 1960-1992) and their parents, from six family types (intact, not-lived-with biological father or mother, lived-with step-father or step-mother,
Neonicotinoid insecticides applied to flowering crops can have negative impacts on bees, with implications for crop pollination. To assess if exposure to the neonicotinoid clothianidin via a treated crop (rapeseed) affected bee behaviour, pollination performance (to strawberry), and bee reproduction, we provided each of 12 outdoor cages with rapeseed (autumn-sown plants complemented with a few spr
Background: Spirometry reference values differ by race/ethnicity, which is controversial. We evaluated the effect of race-specific references on prevalence of lung function impairment and its relation to breathlessness and mortality in the US population. Methods: Population-based analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007–2012. Race/ethnicity was analyzed as bla
Soil moisture is an essential component for the planetary balance between land surface water and energy. Obtaining long-term global soil moisture data is important for understanding the water cycle changes in the warming climate. To date several satellite soil moisture products are being developed with varying retrieval algorithms, however with considerable missing values. To resolve the data gaps
