Importance Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes have higher subsequent cardiovascular risks, but their long-term risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and potential causality are unclear. A better understanding of such risks is needed to identify women with high risk early in life and guide interventions to prevent AF and its complications. Objective To determine long-term risks of AF associated with

Objective: To examine the associations between five major adverse pregnancy outcomes and long term risks of ischemic heart disease in mothers. Design: National cohort study. Setting: Sweden. Participants: All 2 195 266 women with a first singleton delivery in Sweden during 1973-2015. Main outcome measures: The main outcome measure was incidence of ischemic heart disease from delivery to 2018, iden

Purpose: To determine progression factors at the end of the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT) based on all EMGT patients and evaluate separately patients with higher and lower baseline intraocular pressure (IOP; median split). Design: Cohort of clinical trial participants. Participants: Patients with early open-angle glaucoma randomized to argon laser trabeculoplasty plus betaxolol (n = 129) or

This study describes an atrial fibrillation (AF) detector whose structure is well-adapted both for detection of subclinical AF episodes and for implementation in a battery-powered device for use in continuous long-term monitoring applications. A key aspect for achieving these two properties is the use of an 8-beat sliding window, which thus is much shorter than the 128-beat window used in most exi

Slow and hovering animal flight creates high demands on the lift production of animal wings. Steady state aerodynamics is unable to explain the forces required and the most commonly used mechanism to enhance the lift production is a leading edge vortex (LEV). Although LEVs increase the lift, they come at the cost of high drag. Here we determine the flow above the wing of lesser long-nosed bats at

A recently identified polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL) from Bacteroides ovatus ATCC 8483 is transcriptionally up-regulated during growth on galacto- and glucomannans. It encodes two glycoside hydrolase family 26 (GH26) β-mannanases, BoMan26A and BoMan26B, and a GH36 α-galactosidase, BoGal36A. The PUL also includes two glycan-binding proteins, confirmed by β-mannan affinity electrophoresis. W

Det straffrättsliga orsaksbegreppet har främst diskuterats i rättsvetenskaplig doktrin, eftersom det saknas en legaldefinition och mängden rättspraxis kring begreppet är begränsad i Sverige. År 2024 kom dock ett avgörande, NJA 2024 s. 36, där Högsta domstolen för första gången uttryckligen diskuterade orsaksbegreppet. Rättsfallet handlade om alternativ kausalitet i form av alternativa dödsorsakThe concept of causation in criminal law has been discussed mainly in legal doctrine, since there is no legal definition, and the amount of case law regard ing the concept is limited, in Sweden. In 2024, a decision was made, NJA 2024 s. 36, where the Swedish Supreme Court explicitly discussed the con cept of causation for the first time. The case was about alternative causality in the terms of

Debt and equity are in most countries treated differently for taxing purposes. The asymmetry between the financing forms are being taken advantage of by MNEs, allowing them to plan their cross-border activities in a way that lowers the taxable burden for the whole group. To prevent the increasing problem of base erosion and profit shifting, Member States have implemented different rules limiting i

In 2010, Spence and Van Gelder presented a family of CNF formulas based on combinatorial block designs. They showed empirically that this construction yielded small instances that were orders of magnitude harder for state-of-the-art SAT solvers than other benchmarks of comparable size, but left open the problem of proving theoretical lower bounds. We establish that these formulas are exponentially

The adverse impacts to environmental and human well-being derived from the past achievements in agricultural productivity and modernised food systems now call for building up sustainable farming systems. Increasingly specialised, standardised and concentrated agrifood systems have evoked both academic and practical interest in enhancing more place-based and integrated farming styles with shared be

This thesis work was done in the SCAN COIN headquarters in Malmö, Sweden. In the work, we investigate the possibility to optimize the product SCAN COIN CashComplete POS. CashComplete is a closed system that makes it easy to pay with notes and coins and get the correct change back. To make CashComplete more attractive in a self-checkout environment the products price must be decreased. This work fo

How do men and women differ in their persistence after experiencing failure in a competitive environment? We tackle this question by combining a large online experiment (N=2,086) with machine learning. We find that when losing is unequivocally due to merit, both men and women exhibit a significant decrease in subsequent tournament entry. However, when the prior tournament is unfair, i.e., a loss i

This thesis evaluates if a countrywide female-related healthcare intervention in 2015 affected Swedish regions’ maternal health outcomes differently due to a decentralized healthcare system. By exploiting regions’ varying budget dedicated to female-related healthcare before the intervention, the size of the budget increase is estimated. Maternal health outcomes before and after the intervention ar

In this paper, we discuss the apportionment of national debt when Ireland exited the UK in 1922. We estimate that the claim on Ireland amounted to 80 percent of Irish Gross National Product (G.N.P.) and describe how it was ultimately waived at the expense of an unchanged land border with Northern Ireland. While this represents the largest debt relief episode in the twentieth century, the political

Purpose: To assess the additional value of subtraction ictal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) coregistered to MRI (SISCOM) for localization of the epileptogenic zone in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy scheduled for invasive video-EEG (VEEG) before epilepsy surgery by a descriptive study from clinical practice. Methods: Forty-nine consecutive epilepsy patients between Januar

Background High-dose aspirin (>= 500 mg daily) reduces long-term incidence of colorectal cancer, but adverse effects might limit its potential for long-term prevention. The long-term effectiveness of lower doses (75-300 mg daily) is unknown. We assessed the effects of aspirin on incidence and mortality due to colorectal cancer in relation to dose, duration of treatment, and site of tumour. Methods
