Small angle neutron scattering and small angle X-ray scattering methods were used alongside droplet size analysis to determine the nanoscale effects of the addition of stearate salts of sodium, calcium and magnesium at the interface of a 30:70 oil: water emulsion. The dispersed phase consisted of hydrophobic dodecanoic acid: menthol deep eutectic solvent with up to 2.5 wt.% stearate salt. The cont
Understanding surfactant self-assembly in deep eutectic solvents (DES) is fundamentally challenging, and computational efforts for in silico screening are frequently hampered by the computational expense of all-atom simulations. To circumvent these limitations, we present newly parameterized and rigorously validated coarse-grained Martini 3 models for the cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA) cation and gl

This article investigates how social workers enact ethical judgement in digitalised welfare organisations. Drawing on the concept of ethics work, it examines how engagements with digital systems involve ongoing processes of identifying, interpreting and responding to ethically salient aspects of practice. The study is based on an organisational ethnography in Swedish social services, combining 45

Artificial intelligence (AI) shows promise in identifying psychopathology through language, but replicability in AI models remains challenging. We develop an AI-based language assessment of posttraumatic-stress-disorder (PTSD) severity and introduce the sequential evaluation with model preregistration to rigorously evaluate its validity and replicability. This design includes two phases: developme
INTRODUCTION: Improving access to genetic testing has increased the number of individuals identified with cancer genetic predisposition. Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) and Lynch syndrome (LS) are key examples of high-risk hereditary cancer syndromes. Ensuring that carriers of germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (GPVs) receive evidence-based risk counseling, surveillance and
Reading ability emerges from interacting phonological and semantic skills. However, the cortical microstructure supporting these traits remains unclear. Multimodal cortical parcellation and diffusion analysis were performed in 1,068 participants, including a genetically informed twin subsample. We identified auditory and anterior temporal subregions predicting oral reading scores. In the left audi
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is increasingly seen as essential for mitigating climate change. In Global North countries like Denmark, Sweden and the UK, bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) projects have become a prominent component of national climate strategies. This perspective explores an emerging trend: the advancement of such projects through a co-financing model that combines state
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic there was an increase in digital healthcare delivery. It is unclear how this was implemented among people intellectual disabilities (ID) who may struggle to access new technologies. This is important to investigate as this group already faces inequities in healthcare access.Research Question(s): Does the degree of health-related video-conferencing utilizati
Background: Women with intellectual disabilities have increased risks of pregnancy-related complications and adverse maternal outcomes. This could increase their risk of post-partum care needs. Research Question(s): Do post-partum healthcare utilization differ between women with intellectual disabilities and women from the general population?Methodology: Through national and regional registers, we
Background: Older people with intellectual disabilities have complex healthcare needs, with many somatic and psychiatric co-morbidities and high healthcare utilization, including unplanned (i.e., acute) healthcare contacts. However, little is known about predictors of unplanned healthcare contacts—a possible proxy for unmet healthcare needs, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.Research Quest
BackgroundIschemic stroke remains a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, with limited acute therapeutic options. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that regulates endothelial function, vascular integrity, and immune responses, and reduced circulating S1P levels have been reported in ischemic stroke. Whether plasma S1P depletion parallels alterations in brain-endothe
Skattelagstiftningen i Sverige och Europeiska unionen utformas i allt större utsträckning med utgångspunkt i dokument som tagits fram av OECD. Modellregler, kommentarer och administrativa riktlinjer om skattebaserodering och vinstförflyttning samt global minimibeskattning är inte rättsligt bindande, men påverkar ändå innehållet i bindande rätt. I avhandlingen undersöks vilket rättskällevärde sådanTax legislation in Sweden and in the European Union is increasingly drafted with reference to documents produced by the OECD. Model rules, commentaries and administrative guidance concerning base erosion and profit shifting and global minimum taxation are not legally binding, yet they influence the content of binding law. This thesis examines what weight such documents can be accorded as sources o
At Lund University (LU), we are increasingly working with linking inner and outer transformation and the inner development goals (IDGs) for accelerating sustainability across different disciplines, departments and levels. Related work started around ten years ago with the establishment of the Contemplative Sustainable Futures Program, which involves research, education, impact and outreach activit
Diet-induced metabolic dysregulation is associated with cerebral microvascular pathology contributing to cognitive decline and vascular dementia. These alterations include blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage, pericyte dysfunction, aberrant angiogenesis, and perivascular neuroinflammation. Restoration of BBB integrity has been achieved in other conditions by targeting pericytes, for example through k
Epigenetic regulation governs stem cell fate and perturbations in these mechanisms often lead to tumor development. The CoREST complex, a critical regulator of neural and hematopoietic stem cell differentiation, is recurrently targeted by gain of function mutations in the ubiquitin ligase KBTBD4 in high-risk embryonal brain tumors. However, the tumorigenic potential of these mutations remains unre
