Räddningstjänstens förmågor under höjd beredskap: en kartläggning av svenska räddningstjänster

Det förändrade säkerhetspolitiska läget under de senaste åren har skapat ett behov av stärkt nationell beredskap i Sverige. För att säkerställa att landet är förberett för potentiella kriser eller väpnade konflikter har utvecklingen och förstärkningen av det civila försvaret prioriterats. Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB) ansvarar för att säkerställa att det civila försvaret fungerThe changing geopolitical situation in recent years has created a need for strengthened national preparedness in Sweden. To ensure that the country is prepared for potential crises or armed conflicts, the development and reinforcement of the civil defence has been prioritised. The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) is responsible for ensuring that the civil defence functions effectively duri

Drömma sig bort : en komparativ studie mellan hur Fritidsresor och Vingresor framställer medelhavsområdet i resekataloger från 1960-talet och 1980-talet

Dream Away. A Comparative Study of How Fritidsresor and Vingresor Presents the Mediterranean in Travel Catalogues from the 1960s and 1980s I denna uppsats kommer kvalitativ innehållsanalys och bildanalys användas för att analysera hur turismen har förändrats mellan 1960- och 1980-talet. Källmaterialet består av totalt 31 stycken resekataloger från Vingresor och Fritidsresor. Dessa kataloger analys

Bridling Masculinity: The Horse as Symbol in Riders and The Horse Whisperer

This essay examines how masculinity is negotiated through equestrian symbolism in Nicholas Evans’s The Horse Whisperer (1995) and Jilly Cooper’s Riders (1985), situating both novels within the cultural context of late twentieth-century neoliberal Britain and the United States. Drawing on masculinity studies, neoliberal theory, and animal symbolism, the essay argues that the horse functions as a ce

The Development of a Decorative Luminaire

This master thesis was conducted in collaboration with ateljé Lyktan and aimed to develop a concept for a decorative luminaire for public indoor environments, based on an already established design concept. The objective was to create an alternative to the recessed LED panel commonly used in ceiling grid systems, which often lack aesthetic character and fail to provide lighting that meets visual e

Implementing robust amyloid PET quantification in multi-center studies : AMYPAD approach to address data acquisition, processing, interpretation and data sharing challenges

INTRODUCTION: Amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET) is pivotal to Alzheimer's management, with the Centiloid standardizing measurements across tracers. AMYPAD trials (Diagnostic and Patient Management Study [DPMS] and Prognostic and Natural History Study [PNHS]) aimed to validate robust quantification in clinical settings. We report our comprehensive approach to amyloid-PET implementation, co

Post-Drought Vegetation Shifts Lead to Divergent Carbon, Water and Energy Responses in a Savanna Ecosystem of Southwest China

Increasing drought frequency and intensity affect biophysical functions of natural ecosystems. In tropical semi-arid savannas, while immediate drought effects are well-studied, the drought legacy effects on vegetation composition and associated ecosystem functions remain unclear. We used data of vegetation composition, net ecosystem CO 2 exchange, surface albedo and evapotranspiration (ET) in 2017

A Comparison of Tissue Handling Forces Between a Novel Suturing Device for Standardised Abdominal Wall Closure and Manual Needle-Driver Suturing

Introduction: Suturing is a fundamental component of surgical procedures, wherein training emphasises the significance of gentle tissue handling. The suturing process involves the pressure exerted by the forceps onto the tissue, as well as the medial traction force applied to stabilise the tissue during the needle bite. This study examined the forces involved in tissue handling during suturing, co

Clinical Consensus Statements on Intervention Content for Gambling Treatment : A Contextualised Delphi Study with Clinical Researchers

There is little consensus on the optimal components of gambling psychological treatments. This study aimed to identify clinical consensus statements regarding the perceived effectiveness of gambling intervention content (change techniques, participant/recruitment characteristics, delivery characteristics, and evaluation characteristics) from a panel of researchers with psychological gambling treat

Rebelling for the Decommodification of Bovine Motherhood : Ecofeminist Tendencies in Danish Animal Rights Activism

This chapter explores how Danish animal rights activists challenge the commodification of female bodies, particularly in dairy production, through narratives of motherhood and care. It examines how activists attempt to educate the public—not only by providing information about how dairy is produced but also by offering alternative frameworks from which to think about human-cow relations. Based on

Prostate cancer screening

Objective: To examine the current status and future perspectives of prostate cancer (PCa) screening. Methods: We conducted a narrative review of randomized controlled trials focused on PCa screening and treatment. This review specifically focused on population-based trials enrolling men at average risk of PCa. Results: Prostate-specific antigen has been the cornerstone of PCa screening since its c

Reactive Oxygen Species Drive Cell Migration and PD-L1 Expression via YB-1 Phosphorylation in Pleural Mesothelioma

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced aberrant oncogenic signalling has been proposed to mediate the progression and development of pleural mesothelioma (PM). In this study, we demonstrate how ROS promote oncogenic signalling, especially in the context of cell migration and immune evasion via YB-1 phosphorylation in mesothelial and PM cell models. Xanthine (X)- and xanthine oxidase (XO)-generated

Early Multicentre Experience with Exclusively Retrograde Multiple Branched Endovascular Aortic Arch Repair

Objective: To report initial experience using endografts with exclusively retrograde inner branches for endovascular aortic arch repair. Methods: A retrospective review of endovascular aortic arch repairs using custom made endografts exclusively integrating retrograde inner branches (Cook Medical, Brisbane, Australia) was conducted across seven tertiary centres (June 2022 and December 2024). Prima

Sleep Apnea Pathophysiology in Patients with a History of COVID-19

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that COVID-19 may influence obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) pathophysiology by affecting upper airway collapsibility, ventilatory control, and arousal responses, raising the possibility of a bidirectional relationship. This study examined whether individuals with a history of COVID-19 show altered OSA-related physiological traits compared with those without pri

Products, Performance, and Technological Development of Ambulatory Oxygen Therapy Devices : Scoping Review

Background: Ambulatory oxygen therapy is prescribed for patients with chronic lung diseases who experience exertional hypoxemia. However, available devices may not adequately meet user requirements, and their performance characteristics are heterogeneous. Objective: This study aims to identify devices available for delivery of ambulatory oxygen therapy, the technologies that they use to generate o

Variations on a theorem by Edwards

We discuss two variations of Edwards’ duality theorem. More precisely, we prove one version of the theorem for cones not necessarily containing all constant functions. In particular, we allow the functions in the cone to have a non-empty common zero set. In the second variation, we replace suprema of point evaluations and infima over Jensen measures by suprema of other continuous functionals and i

Chemical analysis of the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster : Evidence for a metallicity gradient

Context. The Milky Way nuclear star cluster (MWNSC) is located in the Galactic centre, together with the Milky Way nuclear stellar disc (MWNSD), and they dominate the gravitational potential within the inner 300 pc. However, the formation and evolution of the two systems and their possible connections are still under debate. Aims. We reanalysed the low-resolution KMOS spectra in the MWNSC with the

Climate Action Delay Discourses in the Sports Sector : Insights From Interviews With Athletes and Staff

There is a major contradiction between the current model of international elite sport and efforts to mitigate climate change. This study investigates climate action delay discourses within the sports sector by analyzing 28 semi-structured interviews with athletes and sports federation employees. Based on the two climate delay discourse typologies of Lamb et al. (2020, Global Sustainability, 3: e17
