Background: Multiple clinical practice guidelines and head computed tomography decision rules exist for emergency department (ED) triage of children with traumatic brain injury (TBI). These vary in structure, aim, target cohort, and outcomes, yet are used clinically in similar populations. We compared important clinical and practical characteristics of all major guidelines in a large, real-world p
Background: In Europe, approximately 291,000 cardiac arrests occur annually. Despite critical care therapy, hospital mortality remains high. This systematic review assessed whether, in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest, any drug therapy, compared to placebo or usual care, improves outcomes. Methods: We searched Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and The Interna
The fast development of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) services—such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Dall-E—have within a short period of time gained immense uptake and popularity. At the same time, such services have given rise to fundamental challenges from a copyright perspective. Court proceedings have been initiated in many jurisdictions on the compatibility of such services with copyright
This study explores the online communication strategies of anti-tourism movements to evaluate their potential contributions to place branding—a topic that has received limited scholarly attention. While prior research often views such movements as antagonistic to place branding efforts, we challenge this assumption. Through an analysis of nine movements across five countries, we apply the typology
Importance: Persistent disparities in mortality across countries suggest uneven improvements in living standards and access to life-extending health technologies, as well as context-specific obstacles. Studies have analyzed cross-country inequality in mortality but have not widely contextualized those disparities in terms of developmental progress relative to a frontier representing a level of mor
Context. The TOI-421 planetary system contains two sub-Neptune-type planets (Pb ~ 5.2 days, Teqb ~ 900 K, and Pc ~ 16.1 days, Teq,c ~ 650 K) and is a prime target to study the formation and evolution of planets and their atmospheres. The inner planet is especially interesting as the existence of a hydrogen-dominated atmosphere at its orbital separation cannot be explained by current formation mode
There is an urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions in Sweden, primarily caused by industry and the transport sector, which together accounted for nearly 65% of the country's total CO2 emissions in 2023. A key solution to this challenge is the rapid and effective implementation of green electrification, which involves transitioning industry and transportation to electricity and electricity-based f
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a group of synthetic organic compounds that has been used in a wide range of products, including fire extinguishing foam which represents the greatest source in Sweden. Their chemical properties make them toxic for humans and most living species, although research is still on-going to determine the specific toxicity of each compound in the family. A la
Geologiska resurser är essentiella för den gröna omställningen, men även för Sveriges infrastruktur. Bland dessa resurser återfinns flera kritiska material, ämnen som EU-kommissionen identifierat som särskilt viktiga att unionen har tillgång till, så som magnesium, vanadin och fosfor. Det finns kända förekomster av kritiska material i Sverige och andra nordiska länder som kan komma att bidra till
Surface water fluctuations and lake storage has been severely impacted by climate change, causing severe flooding and drought events. Hence, monitoring the storage of lakes and reservoirs is of paramount importance to assess freshwater availability, to maintain a balance with the ecosystem and water use. This balance is important for sustainable water management in Sweden, which is reflected in th
Bakgrund: Otillräcklig postoperativ smärtlindring förlänger återhämtningen och ökar opioidförskrivningen med risk för biverkningar och beroende. Medicinsk akupunktur hardärför föreslagits som ett opioid-besparande komplement. Syfte: Att undersöka om medicinsk akupunktur reducerar postoperativ opioidförbrukning hos vuxna patienter som opererats i generell anestesi, samt att värdera effekten i rela
What can monuments do as communicative and imaginative media? This thesis exemplifies how counter-monuments present an entry point for Media and Communication scholars to re- conceptualise traditional monuments, shifting the focus from a noun to a processual verb based on conviviality. Accordingly, using a case-study methodology informed by Flyvbjerg’s (2001) and Dewey’s (1934) pragmatic understan
Sweden has experienced pronounced long-run fluctuations in fertility since the mid-twentieth century, alongside persistent within-year seasonality in births. While many fertility movements can be interpreted ex post in relation to economic conditions, cohort size, and institutional reforms, a central practical challenge is ex ante: when does an emerging decline become statistically detectable as t
Environmental claims have become a familiar feature of fashion marketing. On social media, however, they are rarely communicated in isolation. A state ment about recycled materials may appear alongside personal styling, aesthetic imagery and an influencer's endorsement. The challenge for EU consumer law is that the environmental meaning of such content may not lie in the wording alone, but in
Vegetation phenology is closely affected by climate conditions and can be used to understand how vegetation responds to environmental change. While climate data describe the spatial distribution of climatic variables, satellite-derived phenological products can more directly characterize vegetation dynamics over large areas. This study used the Copernicus High Resolution Vegetation Phenology and P
