Parkinson’s disease (PD) is now recognized as a multisystem, heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease with fluctuating trajectories and complex symptom profiles. Despite therapeutic advances, many patients (particularly women and those in late stages) and their caregivers face substantial unmet needs across physical, psychological, social, and spiritual domains, which highlight the need for a more

Building on interviews and observations of 41 prosecutors at five offices in Sweden, and drawing on sociological theories of emotion habituation, we analyze the emotion management necessary to perform frontstage (in court) professionalism as a prosecutor. We divide our analysis into three key dimensions
BACKGROUND: Dapagliflozin improved cardiometabolic outcomes following myocardial infarction in patients without prior type-2 diabetes (T2DM) in the DAPA-MI (dapagliflozin in patients with myocardial infarction) trial. The effect of glycemic status and body mass index (BMI) post–myocardial infarction requires elucidation. METHODS: Participants with T2DM diagnosis, without baseline hemoglobin A1c, o
Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process bringing many advantages over conventional processes such as allowing to obtain complex geometries and personalized designs at a lower cost. However, this process does not allow to reach tight surface roughness nor dimensional tolerances. To overcome these limits, post-production finishing techniques are required, such as f
Introduction: There is a lack of comprehensive data on complications following sinus surgery (SS) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of SS-related complications in CRSwNP patients and examine patient characteristics, predictors of revision surgery, healthcare use, and associated costs using secondary care data from Swedis
Background: This study aimed to assess chlamydia diagnostics in different clinic types, including internet-based self-sampling (IBSS). Furthermore, we investigated the incidence of chlamydia-associated complications. Methods: Data on Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) testing were retrieved from six healthcare regions in the years 2016–2023 across different categories of testing facilities. National data
Transdisciplinary research (TDR) integrates academic and non-academic expertise to co-produce actionable knowledge that contributes to societal impact in addressing sustainability challenges. While context is widely acknowledged as important, the role and definition of context factors shaping TDR remain underexplored. This study develops an integrative understanding of context by synthesising theo
Background Small aortic annulus is associated with poorer hemodynamic outcomes in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). In these cases, supra-annular (SA) self-expandable valves (SEVs) may offer better results than intra-annular SEVs (IA SEVs). This study evaluated clinical and hemodynamic outcomes for SA SEVs (Evolut valves, Acurate valves) and IA SEVs (Portico/Navitor valves). Methods W
Abstract: Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a critical prognostic marker linked to higher risks of metastasis and recurrence. This study aimed to develop a non-invasive predictive model using body composition features from 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging to assess LVI risk in early-stage NSCLC patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 248 patients, including 153 fr
The emerging field of geo-foundation models (GeoFM) has the potential to reshape GeoAI and spatial data science research, education, and practice. In this work, we motivate and define the term and put it into its historic context within GeoAI and spatial data science more broadly. Next, we review core datasets, models, and benchmarks. Based on this overview of the state-of-the-art, we introduce ke
Background and purpose — Data on effectiveness of nighttime bracing compared with full-time bracing in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is scarce. We aimed to investigate risk of curve progression and surgery with nighttime bracing vs full-time bracing for patients with moderate-grade adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Methods — Skeletally immature individuals with idiopathic scoliosis (25°–40°) trea
Recent upgrades in synchrotron radiation facilities, which now produce highly brilliant and coherent beams, result in a broader array of experiments challenging the available detectors. In X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) experiments, detector performance is often a limiting factor, especially with the high photon fluxes from upgraded facilities. Within this context, a consortium of European
Despite high country-level gender equality, intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is common in Sweden. In discussion about this apparent paradox, the complexity of gender in/equality has been highlighted. Drawing on the domains considered in the EIGE gender equality index (work, money, knowledge, time, power, and health), and based on thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with
Background: The diagnostic performance of the IOTA methods, the O-RADS lexicon, and the RMI has been validated in prospective and retrospective studies, but most validation studies tested the performance in the hands of experienced ultrasound examiners. Objective: To prospectively validate the performance of the Risk of Malignancy Index, the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis Simple Rules Risk M
This dissertation discusses various issues relating to Iron Age settlements in the area around the central place of Uppåkra. Most of the sites have been excavated by contract archaeology. The discussion begins with a presentation of the material from the houses in the settlements, detailing the different construction types and discussing the functions and chronological aspects of the houses. The d
The independence of the judiciary is challenged in several ways. One is the populist narrative of the judges as elitist, another is artificial intelligence being introduced into judicial evaluation. The traditional ideal of positivistic objectivity underpins both these narratives, even though research has shown that emotions are a crucial part of rational decision making. By scrutinising legal decThe independence of the judiciary is challenged in several ways.

The aim of this chapter is to outline a theoretical framework for the comparative study of emotions in Western legal systems of different countries. Our focus is on the legal actors, and our primary interest is how internal legal culture – conceptualized as ‘the emotive-cognitive judicial frame’ – is embedded in a broader context of a socio-culturally specific emotional regime.
