Objectives To compare risks for COVID-19-related outcomes in inflammatory joint diseases (IJDs) and across disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) during the first two waves of the pandemic and to assess effects of the pandemic on rheumatology care provision. Methods Through nationwide multiregister linkages and cohort study design, we defined IJD and DMARD use annually in 2015-2020. We ass

CONTEXT.—: Perinatal death is an increasingly important problem as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, but the mechanism of death has been unclear.OBJECTIVE.—: To evaluate the role of the placenta in causing stillbirth and neonatal death following maternal infection with COVID-19 and confirmed placental positivity for SARS-CoV-2.DESIGN.—: Case-based retrospective clinico-pathological analysis by a mu

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the cost effectiveness of oral semaglutide versus other oral glucose-lowering drugs for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Sweden. Methods: The Swedish Institute for Health Economics Diabetes Cohort Model was used to assess the cost effectiveness of oral semaglutide 14 mg versus empagliflozin 25 mg and oral semaglutide 14 mg versus sitagliptin

Objectives: To investigate the interaction effect of sex and early vs. late onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) on long-term cognitive and functional outcomes and survival. Methods: The Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study (SATS) is a prospective, observational, multicentre study of clinical practice involving 1,017 participants diagnosed with mild-to-moderate AD at the start of cholinesterase inhibito

Tuberculosis is a communicable disease that persists as a second leading cause for death, by an infectious agent. Several reasons contribute to this issue to this, of which an upsurge in antibiotic resistance is of top concern. Resistance patterns in the form of mono or multidrug resistance was reported to most clinical therapies at our disposal. This thesis aims to address this issue by studying

Dramatiska floraförändringar i Skåne Floran i centrala Skåne har förändrats dramatiskt de senaste 60 åren. I mitten av 1900-talet dominerades landskapet av ängs- och betesmarker, högmossar och lövskog. Idag har både jordbruket och skogsbruket intensifierats, och många av ängs- och betesmarkerna hävdas inte längre, samtidigt som införda växter, förvildade från trädgårdar, har spridits i landskapeChanged land-use, nitrogen deposition, climate change, and the spread of non-native species have repeatedly been reported as the main drivers of floristic changes in northern Europe. However, the relevance of the geographical scale at which floristic changes are observed, is less studied and understood. Here, I assess the changes in species richness and species composition in the central parts of

Att tvångsomhänderta ett barn är ett undantag från svensk inställning att vård ska ske genom frivillighet. Det är inget som görs lättvindigt och det krävs att det finns en påtaglig risk för att barnets hälsa eller utveckling annars kommer till skada. Men hur stora krav finns det i samband med vårdens avslutande, var ligger fokus när den bedömningen görs? Syftet med detta arbetet är att titta på föTo take a child into public care against the parents will is an exception from the Swedish standpoint that all care should be given on a voluntary basis. It requires that there is a noticeable risk that the child's health or development will come to harm. But what are the demands when deciding whether the care should come to an end? Where is the focus in that process? The aim of this study is

This Master’s Thesis was written in collaboration with Handelsbanken Asset Man- agement in Stockholm, through the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. This paper aims to investigate algoritmic trading on the financial market from a theo- retical and a practical perspective. The theoretical section presents an approach of using sentiment analysis for predicting asset price movements. The algo

The order-to-delivery (OTD) process for a specific product group at ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems (AAES) has been underperforming lately and failing to meet changing customer expectations, especially regarding reliability and speed. The current process configuration has been assessed as outdated and inadequate for efficient distribution of the product. Since the OTD process was configured, supply ch

Detta examensarbete behandlar effekten av slagg som ersättningsmaterial till Portlandcement och dess påverkan på hållfasthetsutvecklingen, med krav på den tidiga hållfastheten. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka möjligheten att förbättra betong med hänsyn till dess klimatpåverkan genom att ersätta en del av Portlandcement med ett mindre miljöbelastande bindemedel. I den experimentella delenThis thesis addresses the effect of slag as a replacement material for Portland cement and its impact on strength development, with focus on early strength requirements. The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of improving concrete in terms of its environmental impact by using more eco-friendly material. In the experimental part of this work, various mixtures with different slag amount

En av den svenska regeringsmaktens minst uppmärksammade och sällan omdiskuterade maktbefogenheter är regeringens rätt enligt 12 kap. 9 § första stycket regeringsformen att genom nåd efterge eller mildra en brottspåföljd eller annan sådan rättsverkan av brott samt ett annat liknande myndighetsingrepp som avser enskildas person eller egendom.

This master thesis project was completed in partnership with Lantmännen, known for producing Gluten Free (GF) PromOat®—a concentrated oat β glucan powder. The main aim of the thesis was to explore the properties of emulsions containing GF PromOat® oat β-glucan. It specifically focuses on the critical overlap concentration, viscosity, and stability before and after high-pressure homogenization

Public organisations need legitimacy to operate and there are many ways for them to gain, maintain and repair it. Without legitimacy, public organisations can face challenges such as legitimacy gaps or crises, which can have lasting effects on their function and authority. This thesis aims to shed light on how public organisations in Iceland communicate when their legitimacy is questioned and wha

BackgroundUnderstanding the interplay between different pathologies is essential for correlating specific pathologies with cognitive symptoms and predicting the clinical effects of emerging therapies later on. This thesis investigates interactions among biomarkers of small vessel disease (SVD), neuroinflammation, and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), their relation to infection in the brain parenchyma, an

The individuals from Westerhus were randomly selected to cover all age groups and both sexes. Bone samples were taken from 94 skeletons (25%) of the population. Different skeletal elements have been used in the PIXE (Proton Induced X-ray Emission) analyses. The following elements were studied: Ca (calcium), the earth metals Mn (manganese) and Fe (iron); the trace elements Zn (zinc), Sr (strontium)

External quality assessment (EQA) schemes for pathology are essential, yet large/international programmes do not assess morphology-based biomarkers or address local/regional needs. This study outlines bottom-up initiated, flexible Swedish Digital Pathology EQA rounds for breast pathology, and presents results from the 2021 and 2023 rounds. Six breast carcinoma cases were selected for each EQA roun

Background and aims: The EAT-Lancet Commission proposed a healthy dietary pattern to prevent diet-related diseases while promoting planetary sustainability, but little is known regarding its associations with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), both of which are highly prevalent and frequently co-exist. We aimed to assess association of this
