BACKGROUND: Parents experience a range of mental health disorders following their child's cancer diagnosis. It is thus essential to explore how the child's cancer diagnosis affects the dosage of psychotropic medication in both short- and long-term use, as well as potential disparities in utilization patterns between mothers and fathers.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using Swedish registers, we identified a

With the increased interest in lignin valorization, the analytical challenge to separate a complex mixture of a vast number of phenolics has made chromatography an indispensable step in lignin analysis. High-resolution separations, such as gas chromatography, reversed-phase liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography have typically been targeting low-molecular-weight compound

Glioblastoma is our most common and most fatal primary brain tumor. Although continuous progress in the cancer research-field the prognosis for glioblastoma remains detrimental. Radiotherapy is a corner stone in the treatment arsenal and can induce an immune response, needed to achieve better tumor control. A limitation that remains is the side-effects on healthy tissue. The new implementation of

This article considers students’ and teachers’ perceptions of shared reading (SR) in promoting reading engagement. It provides a thematic analysis of focus groups with students and teachers at a Swedish upper-secondary school who participated in an intervention consisting of SR sessions. The findings are triangulated with a student pre-intervention questionnaire that included reading habits.The st

Rocky planets may acquire a primordial atmosphere by the outgassing of volatiles from their magma ocean. The distribution of O between H2O, CO, and CO2 in chemical equilibrium subsequently changes significantly with decreasing temperature. We consider here two chemical models: one where CH4 and NH3 are assumed to be irrevocably destroyed by photolysis and second where these molecules persist. In t

The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is a proposed space mission that enables the spectral characterization of the thermal emission of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. The mission is designed to search for global atmospheric biosignatures on dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and it will naturally investigate the diversity of other worlds. Here, we review the status of the m

PurposeThe circular economy concept in the healthcare supply chain can demote using single-use devices by reprocessing, reusing or recycling. India is the most populous country in the world and has numerous challenges to implementing a circular economy in the healthcare supply chain. The objective of this study is to identify and analyse the roadblocks to circular healthcare supply chains in the I

Identifying lake reference conditions is a crucial task for successful lake restoration. A common method is the paleolimnological approach. However, lakes can be influenced by multiple stressors over time, making it necessary to consider possible combined effects. In this study, we aimed to untangle the interpretation of subfossil Cladocera in relation to different environmental parameters in lake

Background/Objectives: This study explores the relationship between cognitive performance measured by the Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT) and the severity of self-reported head injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, pain, and psychosocial dysfunction in a population of trauma-affected refugees. Refugees, especially those who have been subjected t

The escalating utilisation of second homes has led to an extension in heating periods and, to a certain degree, renovations to elevate the standard, resulting in augmented energy and resource consumption. A comprehensive survey was conducted in Sweden, examining user patterns across different seasons, heating systems, and implemented energy efficiency measures. The results indicate that second hom

This study explores the relationship between women's economic empowerment and intimate partner violence (IPV), measured as women's hospital visits for assault. Using longitudinal Swedish administrative data, I proxy women's economic empowerment with a measure of potential relative earnings of married spouses caused by local changes in gender-specific labour demand. The findings reveal that an incr

Evidence grows that standard toxicity testing might underestimate the environmental risk of neurotoxic insecticides. Behavioural endpoints such as locomotion and mobility have been suggested as sensitive and ecologically relevant additions to the standard tested endpoints. Possible interactive effects of chemicals and additional stressors are typically overlooked in standardised testing. Therefore

Statistics reveal the concerning prevalence of mental health issues among Swedish public sector managers, highlighting the critical need for deeper insights into the relevance of social support in coping with work-related stress. This study aims to examine the relevance of various sources of social support for managers coping with work-related stress, an area relatively underexplored in public adm

With her film installation Aggregate States of Matters, Rosa Barba poses a question: How can a form of visual expression convey the environmental and social impact of an issue as fraught as climate change?For this work, the artist interviewed members of Indigenous Quechua communities in Peru, who have had to adapt their daily practices due to the melting of a nearby glacier. Abandoning journalisti

Relationer med nära vuxna är viktiga för barns utveckling. Forskning om känslomässig trygghet, så kallad ”anknytning”, mellan barn och förälder har visat att hur föräldrar bemöter barnets behov av tröst och närhet inverkar på barnets sätt att hantera känslomässig stress och navigera sociala relationer. Även andra omsorgspersoner i ett barns vardagsliv kan bli anknytningsfigurer för barnet, såsom pCurrent child developmental research encourages a more systemic understanding of attachment-related relationship-building. As many young children spend a substantial part of their daily life in professional childcare, e.g., “preschool”, interactions with teachers at preschool are of particular interest in this respect. In bridging the developmentally important contexts of home and preschool for th

Background and aims: Normative values are lacking regarding intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) in thin sections of 5 µm. Thus, we aimed to assess IENFD in thin sections in a healthy adult population as well as to investigate whether IENFD is related to age, sex, and site of excision.Methods: Archival skin biopsies or excisions at the Department of Pathology, Lund, Sweden, from arm and leg

This exhibition of new sculptural works by the artist coincides with the launch of a new series of prints by Rosa Barba published by, and only available through Cahiers d’Art; featuring two distinct series of unique Monoprints and two Limited Edition print series. After spending time among the archives of Cahiers d’Art, Rosa Barba drew inspiration from the original copper printing plates featuring

IMPORTANCE: In patients with clinically node-negative (cN0) breast cancer and 1 or 2 sentinel lymph node (SLN) macrometastases, omitting completion axillary lymph node dissection (CALND) is standard. High nodal burden (≥4 axillary nodal metastases) is an indication for intensified treatment in luminal breast cancer; hence, abstaining from CALND may result in undertreatment.OBJECTIVE: To develop a
