N-type doping of the bulk-heterojunction layer in nonfullerene organic solar cells allows to effectively ameliorate inferior electron transportation by filling traps and optimizing electron pathways, leading to a better balance of charge transport in device. This mechanism, however, provides an incomplete understanding of the stronger photogeneration, long-lived excitons and simultaneously increas

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: High resolution 7T MRI is increasingly used to investigate hippocampal subfields in vivo, but most studies rely on manual segmentation which is labor intensive. We aimed to evaluate an automated technique to segment hippocampal subfields and the entorhinal cortex at 7T MRI.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cornu ammonis (CA)1, CA2, CA3, dentate gyrus, subiculum, and entorhinal cor

Background. Poor maternal self-rated health in healthy women is associated with adverse neonatal outcomes, but knowledge about self-rated health in pregnant women with congenital heart disease (CHD) is sparse. This study, therefore, investigated self-rated health before, during, and after pregnancy in women with CHD and factors associated with poor self-rated health. Methods. The Swedish national

Objectives: To evaluate outcomes of management without surgical revascularization in patients with acute lower limb ischemia (ALI) in a population-based setting. Design: Retrospective observational population-based study. Materials: Patients from Malmö, Sweden, hospitalized for ALI between 2015 and 2018. Methods: In-hospital, surgical, radiological, and autopsy registries were scrutinized for desc

In humans, resting cerebral perfusion, oxygen consumption and energy metabolism demonstrate large intersubject variation regardless of methodology. Whether a similar large variation is also present longitudinally in individual subjects is much less studied, but knowing the time variance in reproducibility is important when designing and interpreting longitudinal follow-up studies examining brain p

Introduction: In kidney transplantation (KT), the role of the intravascular innate immune system (IIIS) in response to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is not well-understood. Here, we studied parallel changes in the generation of key activation products of the proteolytic cascade systems of the IIIS following living donor (LD) and deceased donor (DD) transplantation and evaluated potential assoc

This article describes and analyzes the Euro cash changeover process. The European Monetary Union, EMU, is a unique event in history, although other monetary unions were formed and existed long before. Still, this giant experiment makes it possible to study changes in the monetary environment from a unique and new position. The article tries to find factors that can help to explain the different p

Background: Studies from Sweden have reported association between immigrant status and incidence of cardiovascular diseases. The nature of this relationship is unclear. We investigated the relationship between immigrant status and risk of heart failure (HF) hospitalization in a population-based cohort, and to what extent this is mediated by hypertension and life-style risk factors. We also explore

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is common in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) without dementia, but the prevalence of AD pathology in patients with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) and non-amnestic mild cognitive impairment (naMCI) is unknown. AD is characterised by decreased CSF concentrations of A beta(42) and increased concentrations of tau. We investig

BACKGROUND: Asthma may be defined either as wheeze within the previous 12 months (current wheeze) doctor-diagnosed asthma (DDA), or current wheeze plus confirmed airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). AIMS: We wanted to estimate asthma prevalence in randomly selected adolescents based on different criteria for asthma diagnosis, study gender differences in reported asthma-like symptoms vs DDA, and relat

Background Hyper-CVAD is widely used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and aggressive lymphomas. This multicenter, population-based study assessed the efficacy of Hyper-CVAD as first-line therapy in patients with T-cell ALL (T-ALL). Patients and methods Between October 2002 and September 2006, 24 patients were diagnosed with T-ALL in Sweden; 19 were eligible for treatment with the protoc

BACKGROUND: Reduced forced expiratory volume (FEV(1)) and forced vital capacity (FVC) are risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. However, the relationship with incidence of heart failure (HF) is incompletely known. This population-based study explored whether reduced FEV(1) or FVC is associated with the incidence of hospitalisation for HF. METHODS: 20 998 men (mean age 43 years) w

Objective: To explore the use and interpretation of self reported on/off diary data for assessment of daily motor fluctuations in Parkinson’s disease. Methods: 26 consecutive non-demented patients with fluctuating Parkinson’s disease received standardised training on how to fill out the four category CAPSIT-PD on/off diary, followed by four hours of clinical observation and four weeks of daytime

Here we studied the effects of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in a rat model that represents the symptomatic stages of Parkinson's disease. GDNF was infused starting 2 weeks after an intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion in order to halt the ongoing degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. GDNF or vehicle was infused in the striatum or the lateral ventr

Klimatkompensation, är det en avdragsgill kostnad? För några år sedan skickade Saltå Kvarn AB in sin deklaration till Skatteverket. Saltå begärde avdrag för klimatkompenserande utgifter, Saltå ansåg det vara en avdragsgill kostnad för att förvärva eller bibehålla intäkter i enlighet med 16kal 1§ Inkomstskattelagen, utfallet blev minst sagt negativt. Fyra år senare försökte Arla Foods AB sig på saClimate compensation, a deductible expense? A few years ago, Saltå Kvarn AB sent in its declaration to the Swedish Tax Agency. Saltå re-quested a deduction for climate-compensating expenses, Saltå considered it to be a deducti-ble expense for acquiring or maintaining income in accordance with the chapter 16th para-graph 1, Income Tax Act, the outcome was negative to say the least. Four years late

Klimatförändringar framhålls som vår tids stora ödesfråga. En global temperaturökning kommer att få långtgående och svåröverskådliga effekter på hela världen. I denna uppsats krymps dock perspektivet en aning, och fokuserar på hur klimatförändringarna påverkar det svenska skogsbruket. Genom att betrakta den svenska skogsvårdslagen med tillhörande förordningar och föreskrifter ur ett klimatanpassniClimate change has been considered as the great threat of our time. Global warming will have far-reaching and unwieldy consequences for our planet. The perspective of this essay is a little narrower: The area of investigation in this essay is how climate change will affect the Swedish forestry production. By regarding the Swedish forestry legislation from a climate adaptation perspective, this ess

Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har länge särbehandlats i den svenska rättsordningen. I nästan alla rättssystem ingår ett krav på tillräknelighet som brottsförutsättning. Detta krav togs bort i den svenska straffrätten i samband med brottsbalkens ikraftträdande 1965. Att vara tillräknelig innebär att man har en viss förmåga att förstå vad man gör, och att man kan kontrollera sitt handlande. Endast
