Background and Objectives – Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) is characterized by an amnestic- and limbic-predominant phenotype, which can mimic Alzheimer disease (AD). In a memory clinic cohort, we tested whether clinical criteria for LATE can detect a clinical profile of LATE that is distinct from AD.Methods – In this retrospective examination of a longitudinal memory c
The rise of solo living presents significant social and environmental challenges, particularly in high-income countries like Denmark where nearly half of households are single occupancy. This study explores the social dynamics driving the trend towards living alone through in-depth interviews with 23 individuals living alone in Denmark. Pathways to solo living include urban relocation, aging out o
A new genus and species of emperor butterfly (Nymphalidae, Apaturinae) is described based on an exceptionally well-preserved specimen from the "Calcaire de Campagne Calavon" limestone of southern France (early Oligocene age, approximately 34–28 Mya). Most parts of the right wings and upper parts of the left wings are visible, with complete venation and even wing patterns. The head and thorax are c
Methane (CH₄) emissions from landfills are a key uncertainty in Sweden’s national greenhouse gas inventory. This thesis evaluates whether UAV-based CH₄ measurements can complement inventory-based estimates, using Filborna landfill in southern Sweden as a case study. UAV-derived emissions from 2022–2024 were compared with an IPCC Tier 2 First Order Decay model, reproduced from Sweden’s national inv
Att identifiera proteinmönster associerade med lungsyndromet acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) hos patienter med underliggande sepsis är en central utmaning inom intensivvårdsforskning. Konventionella univariata metoder riskerar att missa icke-linjära associationer och högre ordningens interaktioner som speglar syndromets sanna komplexitet, och systematisk utvärdering av alternativa metodIdentifying proteomic patterns associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in sepsis patients is a central challenge in critical care research. Standard univariate approaches may miss non-linear associations and higher-order interactions that reflect the true complexity of the syndrome, yet systematic evaluation of alternative methods is lacking. This thesis introduces a unified eva
Abstract – Introduction: Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is associated with substantial impairment and high healthcare use, particularly among patients with chronic symptoms, psychiatric comorbidity, and poor response to standard interventions. Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a promising emotion-focused approach, but evidence in treatment-resistant SSD remains limited. Methods
Universities are widely understood to be sites of free expression, knowledge-seeking institutions that serve the public good while encouraging personal development of individuals. They typically uphold and communicate institutional integrity and ethics, seeking to encourage open communication, equip students with critical thinking, and foster civil participation. For the Social Sciences, questions
Atmospheric particles play a significant role in radiative forcing through light scattering and new methods are called for to better characterize their impact. Typical Lidar systems emit single wavelength light, not utilizing full spectral information from scattering measurements. This thesis aims to use a hyperspectral lidar system to measure the spectral dependence of scattering and absorption
Air pockets in pressurized pipelines may reduce hydraulic capacity, increase head losses, and affect system operation. In downward sloping pipe sections, a key question is whether the water flow can transport a trapped air pocket downstream or whether the air is likely to remain stationary, which would require an air valve to evacuate the air. This thesis compares selected criteria and guidance so
OBJECTIVE: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are chronic, relapsing inflammatory diseases, yet reliable biomarkers for detecting relapse and organ involvement remain limited. This study aimed to identify plasma protein biomarkers that distinguish active disease from remission and to explore markers associated with lung and kidney involvement.METHODS: Plasma
With the rapid development of the electric vehicle (EV) industry, the large-scale retirement of batteries has introduced multiple environmental risks and challenges to industrial sustainability. Smart circular business models (SCBMs) utilizing 10R circular strategies (i.e., Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, Recycle, and Recover) present a promising soluti
Zinc-Manganese dioxide (MnO₂) batteries have garnered significant interest due to their high energy density, low cost and low toxicity. Crystalline MnO₂ has shown structural transformations during the intercalation and deintercalation of Zn, which influences the performance of the battery. Recent studies have demonstrated that amorphous MnO₂ shows better Zn storage capacity due to an increase in s
With the development of additive manufacturing, the freedom in developing complex cooling structures has been enlarged greatly. Topology optimization is one of the methods that can give out cooling structures beyond the limits of geometric parameters. In this research, an algorithm of topology optimization with heat transfer is derived. The detailed optimization procedure is presented in this work
Background: Data are lacking on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) trajectory following myocardial infarction (MI). Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of LVEF trajectory after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for MI on long-term outcomes. Methods: Patients undergoing PCI for MI (2007-2022) with serial echocardiograms were identified in the Swedish Coronary Angiograp
Achieving meaningful curriculum internationalization requires moving beyond siloed, ad-hoc efforts, such as relying solely on the International Office, especially when it comes to addressing the key issue of engaging faculty in internationalization efforts. Instead, faculty involvement in curriculum internationalization is best garnered through planning that leverages institutional synergy.To guid
The continuum mechanics fatigue model operates on state variables that are continuous in time, unlike cycle-counting-based methods that rely on deconstructing stress histories into a set of distinct cycles. This way, the continuum-based approach provides a modeling framework that, in principle, can handle arbitrary stress histories. Despite its successful application for a wide range of problems,
Optimization of the photoemission blade type XBPM mostly performed to increase its resolution by increasing the readout signal current and by optimizing blades geometry. This requires tailoring of the XBPM for a particular undulator, making almost every XBPM unique at the Synchrotron Radiation facility. In many cases the calibration coefficient is gap dependent. To overcome those drawbacks an alte
