Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning proposed national guidelines for COVID-19. SWESEM supported the proposal overall but raised comments regarding corticosteroid treatment, point-of-care ultrasound, involvement of emergency physicians and general practitioners, paediatric and obstetric care, and the management of COVID-19 in prehospital and eme
The current review summarizes recent advances in slow sand filtration (SSF) for water treatment, with a focus on addressing key gaps identified in recent studies. SSF has progressed beyond traditional biophysical processes through the integration of hybrid systems and advanced materials. The addition of zerovalent iron, graphene oxide, activated carbon, and biocomposites has improved the removal o
Climate models predict widespread precipitation changes across Europe, including more frequent and severe droughts. Drought events can alter soil microbial communities, leading to alterations in soil functioning and further ecosystem services. While long-term drought effects are well studied, short-term droughts during the growing season remain largely unexplored in agricultural soils. Thus, we in
The development of sophisticated and sustainable water treatment systems has become necessary due to the growing contamination of water resources by mercury and other heavy metal ions. This review examines current advances in composite membrane systems, with a special emphasis on polymer-based and functionalized membranes for efficient metal ion removal. Polymer matrix composites, such as polyviny
Rural regions encompass a wide variety of contexts, often facing challenges such as population decline and ageing, or limited infrastructure and services. Yet, rural territories can also be unique places for experimentation and serve as sites of transformative, sustainability-oriented development. We contribute with a theoretical perspective on rural transition pathways that connects rural pre-con
School subjects are reflections of society (Sundberg 2021), and in Sweden interest in learning English emerged in the seventeenth century, a consequence of growing mobility on the European continent (Bratt 1977). It was not until 1807 that English was first introduced as a school subject, however. Initially, English was available only at the upper-secondary level. It was an elective subject, and s
Geopolymer concrete has attracted increasing attention as a lower-carbon alternative to ordinary Portland cement concrete because it can utilize aluminosilicate-rich industrial by-products while still achieving satisfactory mechanical performance. However, the 28-day compressive strength of steel fiber-reinforced geopolymer concrete (SFGPC) is governed by multiple interacting mixture variables, wh
The framework of the Impact Cratering Committee (ICC) of the Meteoritical Society was approved in 2020, with the first committee members appointed in 2023. The ICC has a mandate to (1) approve, maintain, and update a database of confirmed terrestrial meteorite impact structures, (2) define and regularly update the criteria used for identification of impact structures and their related deposits, an
To explore the pattern of non-motor symptoms (NMS) and their fluctuations in dyskinetic patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD). Exploratory post-hoc analyses of the multicenter NoMoFlu-PD cross-sectional study originally designed to study NMS fluctuations using clinical examination of key NMS quantified using a visual analogue scale (VAS; assessing 10 key NMS: dysphagia/choking, anxiety/p
Youth are increasingly regarded as key actors in climate politics. At the global level, youth participation is visible at the conferences of the parties (COPs) to the UNFCCC. While the number of youth participants has gradually increased, the structural dimensions of youth participation, especially their networks in international policymaking, remain underexplored. This article addresses this know
The current quest for new pathways into sustainable, efficient and durable energy conversion technologies makes the used for a fundamental understanding of the atomic-scale phenomena underlying catalytic processes ever more pressing. In this context, characterizing catalyst particles in situ provides valuable information about the evolution of their composition, structure, oxidation state and char
Background: Canine otitis externa (COE) is one of the most frequently recorded disorders in veterinary practices, making it an important focus for antibiotic stewardship. Hypothesis/Objectives: To investigate and compare treatment regimens for acute COE in Finland, Norway and Sweden, with a focus on antibiotic use. Animals: 1060 dogs with acute COE lasting for ≤ 4 weeks. Materials and Methods: Thi
This study investigates how reading proficiency in an orthographically opaque foreign language (L2 English) modulates word recognition and decoding strategies of Italian adolescents with and without developmental dyslexia (DD), whose native language orthography is highly transparent. The size of the visual and phonological units that are processed while reading is modulated by the orthographic dep
Background and purpose — Injuries after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be compensated through the National Swedish Patient Insurance Company (Löf). This study examined injury incidence, types, consequences, and subgroup differences in compensated claims following primary THA for osteoarthritis (OA) in Sweden over 10 years. Methods — Data from Löf and the Swedish Arthroplasty Register wer
Ni-based superalloys components are utilised in some of the most hostile engineering environments. The exceptional high-temperature performance of these alloys presents significant challenges during manufacturing. Machining is a critical process, enabling the precise shaping of forgings into functional components. During material removal, plastic deformation of the workpiece material and friction
Introduction: Mental health problems and suicidal ideation in children and adolescents are increasing and with this comes an increase in the suffering of families and parents, as well. Having a supportive family and being able to speak openly about dark thoughts is preventive, but this requires parents who are both supported and psychologically well themselves throughout the child′s suicidal perio
Humanity has long expressed itself through the arts, yet the recent surge of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked debate about its impact on human expression and connection. Situated at the nexus of concerns, hype and aspiration surrounding AI’s cultural implications, this article explores the evolving dynamics of artificial–human co-creativity in contemporary ‘science-fiction opera’, a sub-ge
As Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) adoption accelerates, systematic integration of explainability is imperative for reliability, transparency, and continuous quality assurance. This paper presents a scoping review examining how explainability is integrated across the MLOps lifecycle, encompassing data handling, model development, and deployment. Each phase is further analyzed through its subar
Introduction – Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention is a major public health priority. Text message interventions promoting a healthy lifestyle can contribute to improved blood pressure in patients with hypertension, however the effect on other metabolic outcomes and broader CVD risk factor control are less studied. We aimed to investigate the effect of health-promoting text messages on metabol
Uncertainty maps provide a quantitative and visual representation of the estimated confidence of Deep Learning (DL) models in contouring predictions and have been proposed to improve clinicians’ efficiency during manual review. However, uncertainty maps are not currently integrated into clinical workflows, and evidence on their actual benefit in clinical decision-making remains limited. This study
