Försök att beskriva och rekonstruera omständigheterna kring Carl Johan Tornbergs (1807-1877) utnämning till och installation som professor i österländska språk 1850.

Background: Skin pain is a common symptom in patients with chronic hand eczema (CHE); however, its association with increased analgesic use has not been thoroughly investigated. Objectives: To examine analgesic use (paracetamol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], opioids and gabapentin/pregabalin) among patients with CHE compared to a control group. Methods: Data were obtained from the

Dating the bottommost section of an ice core is often complicated by strong layer thinning and possible disturbances in the stratigraphy. The radioactive decay of atmospherically produced 36Cl and 10Be can provide age estimates, where traditional methods can no longer be used. In this study, we investigated ice from the bottom of the Skytrain ice core, which was drilled in West Antarctica next to

Ice cores are unique archives of paleo-climate information and require accurate dating for its interpretation. Continuous chronologies are usually based on time markers, stratigraphic matching, and orbital tuning, but often end several meters above bedrock, because extreme thinning and sometimes disturbances in the stratigraphy complicate the identification of climate signals and their alignment w

The implementation of water-related environmental measures (WREMs) in agricultural businesses presents an opportunity to align food production with sustainable value creation through ecosystem services. However, the complexity of adopting these measures, and making them a part of business models, necessitates the involvement of intermediaries to facilitate business opportunities that align with go

Introduction: Device-aided therapies (DATs) have been developed to provide continuous drug delivery (CDD) to people with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) whose symptoms can no longer be effectively managed with oral or transdermal therapy. Intrajejunal infusion of levodopa–carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG), delivered via the CADD Legacy 1400 pump, is an established CDD option, while levodopa–entaca

Under våren 2025 genomfördes en landskapsarkeologisk undersökning av en fastighet belägen på Bjärehalvön, nordvästra Skåne. Undersökningen visar med hjälpa av skriftliga källor, kartor samt fältstudier hur bebyggelse och landskap har förändrats från ca 1600 - 1900.

Introduction: Clinical learning has an important role in health care education. However, challenging working environments with increasing staff turnover, sick leave and high work pace create tensions between teaching and clinical activities. After participation in a faculty development program, a teacher team implemented new activities, the supervisors were grouped in pairs for support; a workshop

The semiconductor industry is pivotal to Europe's economy, especially within the industrial and automotive sectors. However, Europe faces a significant shortfall in chip design capabilities, marked by a severe skilled labor shortage and lagging contributions in the design value chain segment. This paper explores the role of European universities and academic initiatives in enhancing chip design ed

Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the gold standard method for evaluating cardiac function and structure and is thus an important tool for diagnostics in cardiovascular disease. Recently, deep learning (DL) methods have achieved notable developments in various aspects of CMR. The aim of this thesis was to further assess

Objectives: To evaluate whether long-term magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, alone or in combination with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density or the result of prior surveillance biopsies, could be used to omit biopsies occurring after patients have been on active surveillance (AS) for ≥5 years. Patients and Methods: Analysis of a single-institution AS cohort of patients with Grade Grou

The impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment on COVID-19 severity is unclear. In this population-based, nationwide study using multi-register data, we aimed to assess if OSA is a risk factor for COVID-19 severity and how adherence to PAP treatment and clinical characteristics affect the risk. Swedish residents with COVID-19 infection January 2020–May 202

The water level-area-storage volume (Z-A-V) relationship serves as the cornerstone of reservoir operations, governing water allocation, flood mitigation, and power generation. Sedimentation-induced capacity alterations can progressively degrade Z-A-V accuracy, yet systematic curve updates remain inadequately implemented across developing nations. Traditional reconstruction approaches face inherent

Simulating temporal changes in breast tissue has been challenging, despite advancement in virtual clinical trials. This study aims to enable virtual trials over time, motivated by interest in the effect of tissue involution on tumor visibility. We present a framework for creating 3D voxel-based breast phantoms and lesions using in-house Perlin Noise-based algorithm. The framework consists of three

The rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes among migrant populations from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) living in high-income countries (HICs) presents a significant public health challenge. Migrants often experience lifestyle changes, socioeconomic disadvantages and barriers to accessing healthcare, which can increase their risk for type 2 diabetes. This review explores the prevention an

Introduction Distinguishing between homicide and suicide in cases of single stab injuries to the trunk can be challenging, particularly in the absence of clear contextual information. This study aims to address this issue by developing the MODSIT score (Manner of Death in Stab Injuries to the Trunk)—an evidence-based scoring system designed to standardise forensic manner of death assessments. Meth

The new ACR/EULAR classification criteria for APS differ from the previous Sydney criteria by incorporating a broader range of clinical manifestations beyond venous/arterial thromboembolism and obstetric complications. These include microvascular disease, heart valve disease and thrombocytopenia. We applied both classification systems to a cohort of 139 individuals diagnosed with primary APS in So
