The current confusion about what species are has two major causes. First, many authors discussing species concepts seem not to have considered for what purpose species are distinguished. Several proposed species concepts define species in a way that is only useful in a narrow field of advanced biological science. It is argued that species concepts should rather fulfil the needs of the majority of
Several beneficial effects have been connected with dietary fibre. Insoluble fibre has a good faecal bulking capacity, whereas soluble and viscous dietary fibre has been shown to have beneficial effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Fruit and vegetables provide about one third of the dietary fibre intake in Northern Europe and more than half in Mediterranean countries. These food items are

Background Patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage who are receiving factor Xa inhibitors have a risk of hematoma expansion. The effect of andexanet alfa, an agent that reverses the effects of factor Xa inhibitors, on hematoma volume expansion has not been well studied. Methods We randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, patients who had taken factor Xa inhibitors within 15 hours before having an a
Background: Risky sexual behavior (RSB) is one of the major youth sexual and reproductive health problems globally, including in Ethiopia. RSB among youth increases the risk of HIV infection, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unintended pregnancy, and unsafe abortion. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine RSB and its associated factors among university students in Ethiopia. M
Micron-sized aluminum (Al) particles have recently been proposed as promising carbon-free energy carriers. To facilitate the application of micron-sized Al particles as fuel in practical energy generation system, this study experimentally investigates the underlying mechanisms of the ignition, stabilization and particle-particle collision in lifted Al particle cloud flames. High-resolution shadowg
BACKGROUND: Obesity, assessed by body mass index (BMI), is an established risk factor for 13 cancers. We aimed to identify further potential obesity-related cancers and to quantify their association with BMI relative to that of established obesity-related cancers.METHODS: Using Cox regression models on 4,142,349 individuals in Sweden (mean age 27.1 years at weight measurement), we calculated hazar
The processes responsible for the formation of Earth's most conspicuous diversity pattern, the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG), remain unexplored for many clades in the Tree of Life. Here, we present a densely sampled and dated molecular phylogeny for the most speciose clade of damselflies worldwide (Odonata: Coenagrionoidea) and investigate the role of time, macroevolutionary processes, and
Objective To assess the intervention fidelity and explore contextual factors affecting the process of implementing a mobile phone text messaging intervention in improving adherence to and retention in care among adolescents living with HIV, their families and their healthcare providers in southern Ethiopia. Design A convergent mixed-methods design guided by the process evaluation theoretical frame
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) uses the peritoneal membrane for dialysis. The peritoneal membrane is a thin layer of tissue that lines the abdomen. The lining is used as a filter to help remove extra fluid and poisonous waste from the blood. Everybody is unique. What is normal for one person’s membrane may be very different from another person’s. The kidney care team wants to provide each person with th
BACKGROUND: Prior research has established a positive association between the single-measured triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and hypertension. Nevertheless, longitudinal studies addressing the enduring impact of TyG index on incident hypertension are lacking. This study sought to explore the association between cumulative TyG index (cum-TyG) and incident hypertension, especially obesity-related
Denna uppsats analyserar hur synen på straffets ändamål kommer till ut- tryck i Straffreformutredningen (SOU 2025:66 En straffreform). Syftet är att undersöka vilka straffteoretiska principer som får störst genomslag i utred- ningen och dess tillhörande direktiv, samt vad denna riktning reflekterar för grundläggande föreställningar om straffets funktion. Särskilt fokus ligger på hur straff, i synnThis thesis analyses how the purpose of punishment is articulated in ”Straff- reformutredningen”(the report for the proposed criminal law reform in Swe- den, SOU 2025:66). The aim is to examine which penal theories gain the greatest influence in the report and what this direction reflects in terms of underlying conceptions of the purpose of punishment. Particular attention is paid to how punishmen
OBJECTIVES: To explore broadened entry criteria of the 2021 European Resuscitation Council/European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ERC/ ESICM) algorithm for neuroprognostication including patients with ongoing sedation and Glasgow Coma Scale-Motor score (GCS-M) scores 4–5. DESIGN: Retrospective multicenter observational study. SETTING: Four ICUs, Skane, Sweden. PATIENTS: Postcardiac arrest pa
OBJECTIVES: To investigate if socioeconomic status impacts patient-reported outcomes after a surgically treated trigger finger (TF).DESIGN AND SETTING: Data on patients with TF treated with surgery were collected from the Swedish National Quality Registry of Hand Surgery (HAKIR) 2010-2019 with an evaluation of symptoms and disability before surgery and at 3 and 12 months after surgery, using the s
Background and aims: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is one of the strongest predictors of suicidal behavior. Here, we measured risk of suicide attempt and death as a function of AUD typologies. Design: We used AUD typologies from previous latent class analysis: (i) externalizing subtype (characterized by externalizing symptomatology and early age of onset; individuals in this group have lower educatio
Background: Voluntary self-exclusion from gambling is a common but underdeveloped harm reduction tool in the management of gambling problems or gambling disorders. Large-scale, multi-operator, and operator-independent self-exclusion services are needed. A recent nationwide multi-operator self-exclusion service in Sweden (Spelpaus), involving both land- and web-based gambling sites, is promising, b
Om sakerna på ditt skrivbord inte har tillverkats genom skärande bearbetning, så har definitivt verktyget som användes för att tillverka dem gjort det. Skärande bearbetning har en stor men ganska dold inverkan på ditt liv. Då den enda skärande bearbetning du kanske har upplevt är att göra en ljusstake i träslöjden i grundskolan. Svarvningen och fräsningen i denna avhandling rör ej ljusstakar i träIn an era where 3D printing and AI are at the forefront, turning, milling, and metal cutting might seem like niche research topics from the past. But metal cutting is all around you. If what you have lying on your desk was not machined, then the tools used to create it certainly were. Even 3D-printed or additively manufactured parts must be machined if a good surface quality is needed for an indus
Objective: There is a lack of real-life studies on interleukin-17 (IL-17) inhibition in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). We assessed real-life 6- and 12-month effectiveness (i.e., retention, remission, low disease activity [LDA], and response rates) of the IL-17 inhibitor secukinumab in PsA patients overall and across 1) number of prior biologic/targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (
IntroductionAn important hallmark of cancer is escaping the immune system. Despite advances in immunotherapy, only a subset of patients experiences clinical benefits. It was shown that adoptive T cell or checkpoint inhibition therapy rely on the presence of conventional dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1). cDC1 excel in recruiting and priming protective CD8+ T cells through cross-presentation. However,
