Sveriges Television kallar sig en TV i allmänhetens tjänst och har en erkänd roll som viktig aktör i den svenska demokratin. I sin roll som public service-företag har SVT en mängd uppgifter att fylla genom sitt programutbud. Public service uppgifter som alla tillsammans skall främja ett demokratiskt samhälle. I takt med att medielandskapet och samhället har förändrats så står SVT:s ar-bete med des
Popular Abstract in Swedish Magnetisk resonanstomografi: Patienters upplevelser och betydelsen av anpassad information och förberedelse för vuxna och barn. Magnetisk resonanstomografi (MRT) har sedan tidigt 1980-tal ökat i betydelse och är idag en vanlig undersökning för både vuxna och barn. Undersökningen innebär att patienten ligger i en smal tunnel i magnetkameran och när bilderna tas hörs kraMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming an increasingly common form of exami¬nation for both adults and children. Although it is non-invasive and considered painless, both adults and children experience anxiety during the examination. The technique is sensitive to motion and for that reason many children are anaesthetised. The aim of this thesis was to improve patient care through exploring a
Due to an increase in unverified information that reaches people, data literacy, i.e. the understanding of how to interact with, and interpret information, becomes increasingly important for informed citizenship and responsible decision-making in a democratic society. Central to data literacy is the ability to draw conclusions based on existing data, as well as to interpret and evaluate numerical
This paper presents a joint model of multivariate longitudinal data and multistate data with application to modeling and predicting autoantibody development in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study. The model quantifies the risks of state transitions based on observed time-varying and non-time-varying risk factors. Based on the estimated model, a dynamic prediction

District heating and cooling is a simple but powerful technology that could contribute to decarbonising Europe's heating and cooling supply. However, its current overall penetration is minor. Furthermore, future systems could adopt different configurations with various settings of temperature levels or production location. This thesis has aimed to improve existing tools to evaluate district heatin
Age is a critical determinant of arterial disease, including aneurysm formation. Here, to understand the impact of aging on the arterial transcriptome, we leveraged RNA-sequencing data to define transcripts that change with advancing age in human arteries. Among the most repressed transcripts in aged individuals were those that are relevant for actomyosin structure and organization, including both
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are becoming an increasingly global concern. PFASs are highly fluorinated organic chemicals that represent a serious risk for environmental and human health. Due to their toxicological impact, PFASs are now included in several emission regulations. Even if the global level of PFASs use is decreasing much of present concentrations in the environ
Health care is moving toward integrated services where care and rehabilitation are provided at home rather than in institutions. This, together with the requirement that care must be person-centered, has proven to be a considerable challenge. Older adults living with complex health conditions such as stroke are vulnerable to change when their responsibility for care and rehabilitation becomes exte
This study uses a novel approach to identifying local contextual conditions conducive, alone or in combination to far-right political violence. The studied case is asylum housing attacks occurring in Sweden 2015-16. Using a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of eighty-six Swedish municipalities, forty-two of which have experienced arson attacks against refugee housing facilities, we operat
Soil erosion poses a significant environmental challenge in Dehradun due to its complex, steep terrain, heavy rainfall, and rapid urbanization. This study employed a Google Earth Engine-based approach to assess the average soil loss annually using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). The analysis used various factors, including rainfall-runoff erosivity (R), soil erodibility (K), slop
While the direct toxicological effects of metal exposure on animals, including birds, are well documented, indirect mechanisms remain poorly understood. This applies to effects on microbiota, despite the emerging evidence of its crucial role in host's physiological functions. We investigated the metal exposure, growth, and fledging of great tits (Parus major) in six rural vs. industrial/urban area
Enhancers are short DNA segments (50–1500 bp) that effectively activate gene transcription when transcription factors (TFs) are present. There is a correlation between the genetic differences in enhancers and numerous human disorders including cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. In computational biology, the accurate categorization of enhancers can yield important information for drug discovery
This article examines how intensive care staff navigated the emotional and temporal complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing on qualitative data from two Swedish ICUs. Rather than treating emotional responses as secondary reactions to crisis, the analysis shows that emotions were deeply embedded in professional feeling rules, organizational hierarchies, and the poly-temporal unfolding of the
