In 2022, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established that global greenhouse gas emissions trajectories are not on track to limiting warming to less than 2 ° C above pre-industrial averages (IPCC 2022a). Given that broader progress towards ambitious climate change and sustainability goals remains incremental, a whole-of-society approach, including transformative innovation in t
The work developed within Following the Fish—an artistic research project exploring architecture, migration and collective practice through workshop-based methodologies—was presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023 (20 May – 26 November 2023), one of the most significant international exhibitions of contemporary architecture, as part of the Catalan representation.The exhibition brought to
Following the Fish—an artistic research project exploring architecture, migration and collective practice through workshop-based methodologies—was presented in 2024 as part of the exhibition UnFold: Exploring Artistic Directions in Architectural Research at Lund University.The project was developed through a series of workshops across Barcelona, Lund and Venice, engaging with the spatial and socia
In recognition of outstanding articles published in the Journal of Comparative Physiology A, Editors’ and Readers’ Choice Awards are conferred annually to the top papers in the categories Original Research Paper and Review/Review-History Article. The recipients of the 2026 Editors’ Choice Awards were selected based on votes cast by the Editorial Board on articles published in 2025. In the category
In this article I shed light on the phenomenon of Chinese young people’s conversion to Christianity and argue that it is often closely tied to a utopian longing for what is missing in their lives (Bloch 1907). Through a person-centered account of two young people, I explore their quests to escape the temporal predicament of endless striving 'fuzao' and search for a better life based autotelic valu
BACKGROUND: Although large studies and pooled analyses of individual patient data have demonstrated the safety of deferring coronary revascularization based on a nonischemic intracoronary pressure index result, conflicting findings have emerged in specific patient subsets and with varying follow-up. Thus, we conducted an updated comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the
Dopamine D2 receptors (D2-R) in extrastriatal brain regions are of high interest for research in a wide range of psychiatric and neurologic disorders. Pharmacological competition studies and test-retest experiments have shown high validity and reliability of the positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand [11C]FLB 457 for D2-R quantification in extrastriatal brain regions. However, this radioli
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Achieving adequate concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotics in patients with severe infections is challenging, and therefore therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) would be optimal for guiding beta-lactam dosing, but is often limited by availability. UV/VIS spectrophotometry can quantify drug levels in saline, and if those levels truly reflect plasma concentrations, it could
IntroductionChanges in long-term survival after stroke at the population level are incompletely characterized, particularly using recent data and stratified by stroke type.Patients and MethodsThis nationwide, register-based cohort study used data from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke) and the Swedish Causes of Death Register. Adults (≥18 years) hospitalized with ischemic stroke or intracere
Osteoarthritis (OA)-related meniscal degeneration involves complex interactions between oxidative stress and proteasomal dysfunction. However, the molecular drivers of regional meniscal vulnerability remain poorly defined. This study integrated multiple transcriptomic datasets from OA and control menisci to identify functional networks and hub genes by using weighted gene co-expression network ana
Introduction: Long-term pelvic floor symptoms after childbirth may impair women's quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of self-reported pelvic floor symptoms 1 year postpartum in primiparous women by degree of perineal tear, with a focus on minor and major second-degree tears, and their association with quality of life. Material and Methods: This prospective cohort s
Introduction: Enhancing Quality of Life for Individuals with Stroke (EQL-stroke) is an international, collaborative multiphase project aiming to strengthen supported self-management for older adults recovering from stroke at home in Sweden, Latvia and the Netherlands. Existing poststroke pathways may provide insufficient support for self-management during the transition from hospital to home, and
Considering the unstable condition of water resources in Iran and many other countries in arid and semi-arid regions, groundwater studies are very important. Therefore, the aim of this study is to model groundwater potential by qanat locations as indicators and ten advanced and soft computing models applied to the Beheshtabad Watershed, Iran. Qanat is a man-made underground construction which gath
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are the second most common type of motor neuron disease recognized worldwide. We investigated a total of 25 consanguineous families from Sudan. We used next-generation sequencing to screen 74 HSP-related genes in 23 families. Linkage analysis and candidate gene sequencing was performed in two other families. We established a genetic diagnosis in six families wi
Background Treatment of severe hemophilia A (SHA) with FVIII concentrates is complicated by the development of neutralizing inhibitors in about 30% during the first 50 exposure days (EDs). Despite extensive research, inhibitor risk of different FVIII concentrates remains to be elucidated. Objectives This study aimed to analyze inhibitor development according to (classes of) individual FVIII concen
The purpose of this thesis is to estimate the costs associated with hand injuries inflicted by log splitters and circular saws, and by doing this also estimate a value of prevention. This is carried out in the form of a cost of illness study with an incidence approach. A consecutive data material comprising 57 patients was obtained from the Department of Hand Surgery at Malmö University Hospital (
Under de senaste åren har utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens frodats och med sig tagit en förbättrad träffsäkerhet i taligenkänning. Däremot, liksom med alla snabba teknologiska utvecklingar har den sina brister, i det här fallet bristen på dialektal träningsdata. Den här uppsatsen undersöker om AI har en ojämnt fördelad förståelse av regionalt språk, med fokus på försummandet av de sydsvenskThe recent surge in the development of artificial intelligence has greatly improved the accuracy of automatic speech recognition. However, as with all abrupt technical improvements, it will have its weaknesses, in this case the lack of dialectal training data. This thesis investigates if AI has an unevenly distributed understanding of regional speech, focusing on the disregard of southern Swedish
Agricultural development is widely seen as crucial for poverty reduction and food security. However, the contribution of agricultural interventions to these goals has been mixed. This study evaluates how such interventions influence the livelihood strategies of Ugandan smallholder farmers. By combining insights from the Sustainable Livelihoods and Dynamic Livelihood Strategies Frameworks, a theore
Denna studie undersöker hur semiotiska tecken och i synnerhet paralingvistisk bidrar till att forma narrativ och kommunicera kulturella aspekter i videoreklam inom två distinkta marknadsföringslandskap. Genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av totalt sex reklamfilmer från det svenska varumärket ICA och det taiwanesiska PX Mart, har studien undersökt hur icke-verbala tecken kategoriserade under visueThis study explores how semiotic signs and, most notably, paralinguistics in video commercials contribute to facilitating narratives and communicating cultural aspects across two distinct marketing landscapes. By conducting a qualitative content analysis of six commercials from the Swedish brand ICA and the Taiwanese PX Mart, the research examines how a set of non-verbal cues categorized under vis
