The Sjuøyane archipelago is the northernmost land area of Svalbard; thus, it provides a window to study the terrestrial glacial history and dynamics of the Svalbard–Barents Sea Ice Sheet and complement marine geological studies in the region. To reconstruct the glacial history of Sjuøyane, we describe coastal sedimentary sections in Quaternary sediments and constrain their chronology by radiocarbo

To meet climate targets, expanding Populus spp. tree cultivation is proposed as a potential biomass feedstock, especially on agricultural land that does not come into conflict with food production. However, biomass potential assessments typically overlook landowners' perspectives, risking a gap between theoretical potentials and realisation. Here, we test empirical consequences of two hypotheses b

One risk of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is inadvertent hypothermia (IH), which is defined as a non-therapeutic core temperature decrease below normal. In continuous renal replacement therapy, heat loss will always occur from blood pumped through the dialysis circuit to cooler environment, predisposing for hypothermia. Blood flow and effluent flows are the most important parameters

Background: Troponin elevation is frequently observed in various scenarios in the Emergency Department (ED), yet there is a paucity of studies investigating simultaneously measured high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and troponin I (hs-cTnI) within a diverse cohort in a clinical setting. Methods: All patients who underwent troponin testing at a single center were eligible for this study.

Purpose: To study the trend of delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS) in Sweden in the past decade. Methods: This register-based cohort study utilized data from the Swedish National Cataract Register (NCR) from 2010 through 2019. Register files from patients who underwent cataract surgery in both eyes during the study period were linked using their social security numbers. Bilateral

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to scrutinize the connection between creativity and innovation in the context of public healthcare. This is achieved by applying the theoretical concept of employee-driven innovation (EDI) to explore employees’ perceptions of their creative engagement in innovation processes, as well as to capture the managerial implications of setting up such processes in the

AIM: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of medical and surgical interventions in hospitalized patients and associates with high mortality. Our aim was to examine renal recovery and long-term survival and time trends in AKI survival.METHODS: Changes in serum creatinine (SCr) were used to define AKI in patients at Landspitali University Hospital in Iceland from 1993 to 2013. Renal re

Background Task-sharing of spinal anaesthesia care by non-specialist graduate physicians, termed medical officers (MOs), is commonly practised in rural Indian healthcare facilities to mitigate workforce constraints. We sought to assess whether spinal anaesthesia failure rates of MOs were non-inferior to those of consultant anaesthesiologists (CA) following a standardised educational curriculum. Me

Importance: Large-scale estimates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are warranted for adequate prevention and treatment. However, systematic approaches to ascertain rates of BPD are lacking. Objective: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prevalence of BPD in very low birth weight (≤ 1,500 g) or very low gestational age (< 32 weeks) neonates. Data sources: A search of M

Purpose: To examine heat exposure at work and home and the work–recovery cycle and temporal variation of kidney strain, muscle injury and inflammation biomarkers in sugarcane workers. Methods: 20 male sugarcane workers (age: 33 ± 7 years) with a workplace Rest.Shade.Hydration (RSH) intervention were observed over 4 days, at the end (18 h post-shift recovery) and beginning of a work week (42 h post

INTRODUCTION: Low birth weight is an important measure of the health of pregnant women and newborns. We investigated the prevalence of low birth weights in India over nearly three decades to assess trends and convergence across states.METHODS: Data came from five waves of the National Family Health Survey (1992-93 to 2019-21). The prevalence of low birth weight was estimated. To explore the sensit

Background In congenital aortic stenosis (CAS), commissurotomy is an option in patients not suitable to receive a valve prosthesis. However, there is often a need for future additional interventions on the aortic valve. The fate of the aortic valve is, however, essentially unknown. This study reports the need for reinterventions after surgical commissurotomy, based on a national register. Material

Background: There are currently no molecular tests to identify individual breast cancers where radiotherapy (RT) offers no benefit. Profile for the Omission of Local Adjuvant Radiotherapy (POLAR) is a 16-gene molecular signature developed to identify low-risk cancers where RT will not further reduce recurrence rates. Methods: An individual participant data meta-analysis was performed in 623 patien

BACKGROUND: Despite the significant personal and societal burden of tic disorders (TDs), treatment outcomes remain modest, necessitating a deeper understanding of their etiology. Family history is the biggest known risk factor, and identifying risk genes could accelerate progress in the field.METHODS: Expanding upon previous sample size limitations, we added 4800 new TD cases and 971,560 controls

Background: Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) strongly discriminate for prostate cancer risk at the population level. The role of these genetic scores in determining prostate cancer survival is unclear, potentially due to methodological issues. Methods: We included 19,607 men from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS) and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS) and analyzed 20-year incidence a

The increasing use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in advertising has transformed creative production while simultaneously raising concerns about transparency, authenticity and consumer perception. With the growing integration of GenAI into advertising, understanding how consumers respond to AI disclosure has become increasingly important. This study investigates how AI disclosure in

Seminar Date: 2026-06-04 Course: BUSN79, Degree Project in Accounting and Finance Authors: Victor Damberg, Jonatan Svanbom Advisor/Examiner: Diem Nguyen & Reda Moursli Five key words: CDS Spreads, Leverage, Asset Tangibility, Financial Distress Risk, Redeployability Purpose: To investigate whether asset tangibility weakens the positive association between leverage and market-implied

Anxiety disorders are common in children and adolescents, but constrained resources limit access to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Stepped and stratified care models offer different ways to organize care. Stepped care starts with lower-resource CBT and escalates when needed, whereas stratified care matches CBT format to patient complexity from the outset. Economic evidence comparing these mod
