There is an urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions in Sweden, primarily caused by industry and the transport sector, which together accounted for nearly 65% of the country's total CO2 emissions in 2023. A key solution to this challenge is the rapid and effective implementation of green electrification, which involves transitioning industry and transportation to electricity and electricity-based f

HIV/AIDS stigmatizing behaviors are a huge barrier to early detection and treatment of individuals with the AIDS virus. HIV/AIDS stigma and related consequences are debilitating, especially for vulnerable populations. This study sought to assess whether young women's HIV/AIDS knowledge levels and exposure to mass media (television and radio) have an influence on their stigmatizing behaviors and ro

What can monuments do as communicative and imaginative media? This thesis exemplifies how counter-monuments present an entry point for Media and Communication scholars to re- conceptualise traditional monuments, shifting the focus from a noun to a processual verb based on conviviality. Accordingly, using a case-study methodology informed by Flyvbjerg’s (2001) and Dewey’s (1934) pragmatic understan

This thesis examines why listeners publicly share personal experiences within digital fan communities organised around music. Using the fan community of Hindia, the musical project of Indonesian artist Baskara Putra (Bas), as a case study, the research explores how storytelling unfolds in online comment sections among strangers connected through shared engagement with songs. The study asks how lis

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are increasingly used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. As their use expands, continued post-marketing safety monitoring is important, especially for uncommon but serious adverse events. Despite conflicting evidence regarding causality, pancreatitis, in particular, has remained a clinical and regulatory concern for GLP-1 drugs. Thi

Fractures pose a significant burden on society, making prevention strategies important. One approach is to increase physical activity (PA), which may enhance bone mass and muscle strength, thereby lowering fracture risk. A total of 3476 children who began 1st grade (mean age 7 years) between 1998 and 2012 in four Swedish schools were included. The intervention group was 1328 children from one scho

Negative symptoms (avolition, anhedonia, asociality, blunted affect, and alogia) are among the most disabling features of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. In the absence of treatment consensus guidelines, this PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42024613967) evaluated efficacy and clinical significance of interventions targeting this dimension. Web of Science/PsycInfo databases were sear

Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has been linked to poor health, high stress and diminished quality of life. Previous findings about associations between IBS and cardiovascular disease are, however, contradictory. Our objective was to examine 10-year cardiovascular risk, lifestyle factors, and self-rated health in people with IBS compared to a reference group. Methods: Sweden's souther

Retrospective, propensity-score-adjusted (PSA) studies have indicated to practitioners in the field that contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) after contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) is of minor importance or even non-existent. This has led to controversies between clinicians demanding CECT not to miss any diagnoses and radiologists reluctant or even refusing CECT in risky patients. A critical revi

Bakgrund: Otillräcklig postoperativ smärtlindring förlänger återhämtningen och ökar opioidförskrivningen med risk för biverkningar och beroende. Medicinsk akupunktur hardärför föreslagits som ett opioid-besparande komplement. Syfte: Att undersöka om medicinsk akupunktur reducerar postoperativ opioidförbrukning hos vuxna patienter som opererats i generell anestesi, samt att värdera effekten i rela

Background: Lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is common in emergency departments (EDs) and can be fatal if left untreated due to the risk of progression to pulmonary embolism (PE). In Scandinavia, DVT diagnosis typically relies on ultrasound performed outside the ED in the diagnostic departments. However, international guidelines now recommend combining limited/proximal compression ultrasound

BACKGROUND: Oesophagectomy, a corner stone in curative treatment of oesophageal cancer, is a complex procedure with high complication rates. Postoperative gastric tube decompression is debated and some centres are abandoning routine nasogastric (NG) tube use. We hypothesised that postoperative NG tube removal is non-inferior to five days of NG tube decompression, with regard to the risk of anastom

Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud have revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary properties of massive stars at low metallicity, and therefore in conditions approaching those of the Early Universe, remain sparse. We present the Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) campaign, an ESO large programme

Context. Since the discovery of the first exoplanet almost three decades ago, the number of known exoplanets has increased dramatically. By beginning of the 2000s it was clear that dedicated facilities to advance our studies in this field were needed. The CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS) is a space telescope specifically designed to monitor transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. I

Introduction. Electrodialytic processes have become relevant technology in promoting sustainability within the food industry. Bipolar membrane electrodialysis (EDBM) offers an efficient and eco-friendly alternative for skim milk (SM) acidification, eliminating the need for added acids that affect milk properties and mineral composition [1-2]. In this study, the fouling behavior of bipolar membrane

The potential of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) is currently explored in the world. SMRs as technology is still under development but is introduced to the public. In this stage, when much is still uncertain and unknown, media is important. The benefits and risks related to this new technology articulated in media potentially shape different actors' expectations and attitudes towards the technology.

BackgroundLong-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) given for at least 15 hours/day improves survival in patients with severe chronic hypoxemia. However, the recent REDOX trial showed that LTOT prescribed for 24 hours/day was not superior to 15 hours/day in terms of death, hospitalizations, or self-reported outcomes. We aimed to examine the cost effectiveness of prescribing LTOT for 24 versus 15 hours/day.M

Aims Academic journals are essential for advancing knowledge, yet gender disparities in orthopaedic authorship persist. While most previous studies focus authorship trends on mainly North American journals, this study analyzes gender distribution among primary and senior authors, along with the geographical origins of articles, in three orthopaedic journals based in Europe and North America.
