Kära medlemmar av Nordic Network for Narratives in Medicine, här är nyheter som kan vara intresse. I mejlet läser ni en kortversion, i bifogad PDF nyhetsbrevet i sin helhet med mer information. 1.Save the Date: Nästa nordiska nätverksmöte kommer att vara i Lund den 3-4 oktober 2022. Mötet arrangeras av det nystartade Birgit Rausing Centrum för Medicinsk Humaniora, vars biträdande centrumledare Kat
The ongoing climate change can influence the dynamic of insect populations and therefore the Insect species Responsible for Forest Damage (“insects-RFD” hereafter). The present study aims at identifying the most occurring insects-RFD in Sweden, and exploring the relationships between insects-RFD and climate and land management changes. The recorded insect attacks based on historical reports, liter
This systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data evaluates the outcomes of treatment for Dupuytren's disease using limited fasciectomy (LF), percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) and collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injection. A total of 1423 studies were identified, of which 15 met the eligibility criteria for meta-analysis. The postoperative total extension deficit wa
Background: Co-occurring substance use disorders, and mental disorders are associated with significant suffering, high risks of violent reoffending and relapse in both substance use and psychotic episodes. Treatment for co-occurring substance use disorders in forensic mental health settings would benefit from incorporating patients’ understanding of their disorders. Method: Using an interpretative
This study presents an integrated simulation framework that combines agent-based transport modeling with probabilistic load-flow analysis to quantify power system loading of long-haul heavy-duty electrification. The approach is applied to a case study considering fully electrified road freight in the Skåne region in Sweden, using high-resolution transport demand data and the actual power grid mode
This article summarises the current understanding of the heterogeneity of type 1 diabetes from a June 2024 international Expert Forum organised by the editors of Diabetes, Diabetes Care, and Diabetologia. The Forum reviewed key factors contributing to the development and progression of type 1 diabetes and outlined specific, high-priority research questions. Knowledge gaps were identified and, nota
Due to the global demographic change many more people will need to work until anolder age, and organisations and enterprises need to implement measures to facilitate an extendedworking life. The aim of this study was to investigate organisational measures and suggestionsto promote and make improvements for a healthy and sustainable working life for all ages in anextended working life. This is a qu
Intermediate crops (ICs) are grown on large areas in Sweden and elsewhere for their function as cover or catch crops and to increase soil fertility, and they are usually soil-incorporated. The aim of this study was to investigate if aboveground biomass from ICs can be a sustainable source of biofuel feedstock. For that, the biomass yield of fertilized and unfertilized ICs was studied in field expe
In this paper, an inventory model with finite and constant replenishment rate, price dependant demand rate, time value of money and inflation, finite time horizon, lead time and exponential deterioration rate and with the objective of maximizing the present worth of the total system profit is developed. Using a dynamic programming based solution algorithm, the optimal sequence of the cycles can be
Over the past decade, the field of Inner Transformation for Sustainability has grown into a substantial and influential body of knowledge, providing much of the scientific foundation for the Inner Development Goals (IDGs). In this conversation, Professor Christine Wamsler and Tomas Björkman reflect on the current state of the field. They emphasize that any meaningful application of the IDG Guide r
Accelerating global demand for critical minerals intensifies pressures on Indigenous territories, exacerbating tensions between extractive imperatives and Indigenous land rights. This thesis critically analyses how state-mediated institutional arrangements in Sweden and Colombia shape Indigenous peoples' participation, authority, and influence in land-use decision-making related to critical mi
A paleomagnetic and chronogical study has been performed on the Turinge gabbro-diabase formation and on a cross cutting basic dyke in central Sweden and on the Joulovaara gabbro intrusion in northern Sweden in the Fennoscandian Shield. U-Pb age of baddeleyite and 40Ar/39Ar ages of hornblende and biotite reveal a cooling history of the deep gabbro-diabase intrusion in Turinge. The cooling is sugges
Underground constructions for public traffic purposes are becoming increasingly important for urban areas in order to use the limited space more efficiently. Several electric resistivity tomography and seismic refraction tomography measurements were performed crossing a water passage near Stockholm during the pre-investigation phase of a tunnel building project. The objective was to determine the
This article addresses domestic civil society organisations (CSOs) and their multilevel strategies for gaining political influence in the European Union. Drawing on a theoretical framework identifying different 'routes' that CSOs can take in a multilevel system of EU governance, this article analyses which routes or combination of routes CSOs take and investigates what organisational factors can e
This article contributes to an understanding of how different institutional contexts produce similar outcomes as regards the employment of migrant workers in care work. It examines how the employment of migrant care workers in both the familial provision of care and the formal provision of care services for older people is shaped, first, by the marketisation of care and, second, by immigration con
Current distance measurement techniques for pulse wave velocity (PWV) calculation are susceptible to intercenter variability. The aim of this study was to derive and validate a formula for this distance measurement. Based on carotid femoral distance in 1183 whole-body magnetic resonance angiograms, a formula was derived for calculating distance. This was compared with distance measurements in 128
