Low cholesterol levels have been correlated with both suicidal and aggressive behavior in psychiatric patients. Few studies have investigated associations between serum lipid profiles and both aggressive state and trait. Fifty-two psychiatric medication-free inpatients were included in this study after a suicide attempt. Composite scores of “State Aggression” and “Trait Aggression” were calculated
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis remains a leading infectious cause of death in resource-limited settings. Effective treatment is the cornerstone of tuberculosis control, reducing mortality, recurrence and transmission. Supporting treatment adherence through facility-based observations of medication taking can be costly to providers and patients. Digital adherence technologies (DATs) may facilitate treatm
During the summer of 2018, a widespread drought developed over Northern and Central Europe. The increase in temperature and the reduction of soil moisture have influenced carbon dioxide (CO 2) exchange between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems in various ways, such as a reduction of photosynthesis, changes in ecosystem respiration, or allowing more frequent fires. In this study, we charact
In studies recruited on a voluntary basis, lack of representativity may impair the ability to generalize findings to the target population. Previous studies, primarily based on surveys, have suggested that generalizability may be improved by exploiting data on individuals who agreed to participate only after receiving one or several reminders, as such individuals may be more similar to non-partici
BACKGROUND: To inform future preventive measures including repeated vaccinations, we have searched for a clinically useful immune correlate of protection against fatal COVID-19 among nursing homes residents.METHODS: We performed repeated capillary blood sampling with analysis of S-binding IgG in an open cohort of nursing home residents in Sweden. We analyzed immunological and registry data from 16
3D property formation has become an important solution to provide a more comprehensive and accurate representation of the property's physical characteristics than traditional 2D property formation. Despite the numerous benefits of the 3D property formation, there is a need for more detailed descriptions of 3D cadastral data delivery between the involved actors to ensure efficient and effective col
The integration of geoinformation with BIM (GeoBIM) is critical to underpin solutions to many city-related challenges. However, to achieve an effective integration it is necessary to consider not only data and technical options but also current practice and users’ needs. This paper describes work carried out within the EuroSDR-GeoBIM project to address this challenge. After investigating potential
An unbroken digital data flow would save substantial resources in the built environment process. In this study, which is part of a larger Swedish project, data delivery specifications and methods to integrate BIM and geodata are developed and tested with the aim to facilitate such an unbroken data flow. The main focus areas of the study are: (1) specifications that enables building permission appl
Ultrafast dynamics of photoinduced charge transfer processes in light-harvesting systems based on Earth-abundant transition metal complexes are of current interest for the development of molecular devices for solar energy conversion applications. A combination of ultrafast spectroscopy and first principles quantum chemical calculations of a recently synthesized iron carbene complex is used to eluc
Traffic-related air pollution has severe implications for our health and stringent emission legislation is being enforced to traffic emissions, for example in the EU, USA, and China. With stricter emission legislation (next is EURO 7) and a rapid growth of battery electrical vehicles (BEVs) the combustion-derived pollutants emitted from the tailpipe are decreasing. However, heavier vehicles have r
Comparison of ROS production of individual particle components from traffic-related sources can inform new health policies and emissions legislation. This work aims to quantify acellular ROS production and oxidative potential (OP) of such individual particle components from combustion, brake, tire, and road wear. Particle characteristics are probed to identify source-specific markers and improve t
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive condition characterized by airway remodeling, including emphysema and fibrosis. Proteoglycans and their glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains are key components of the extracellular matrix and may be altered as the disease advances. This study analyzed lung tissue from COPD patients (GOLD stages II-III and IV), non-COPD smokers, and non-smoker
Hydrogen in a hexapole collision cell is used with varying success in multi-collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry to reduce the plasma derived interferences 40Ar16O+ and 40Ar16OH+ that are isobaric with 56Fe+ and 57Fe+ respectively. The reactions of ArO+ and ArOH+ with H2 in the hexapole of a multi-collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer were studied practically and

I början av 1990-talet genomfördes en reform på vårdnadsområdet för personer med funktionsnedsättning, den s.k. LSS-reformen. Avsikten var att lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade skulle ge dessa personer bättre möjligheter att leva sina liv på samma sätt och på lika villkor som personer utan funktionsnedsättning. Lagen har därför utformats som en rättighetslagstiftninIn the early 1990s, Sweden undertook a major reform of care and support services for persons with disabilities: the so-called LSS reform. The aim of the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (1993:387) was to give such individuals better opportunities to live their lives on equal terms as persons without disabilities. The Act has therefore been designed
Introduction: Adnexal surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed in women. Minimally invasive methods are on the rise globally as they have been shown to decrease surgical morbidity compared with abdominal surgery. Adnexal surgery by vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is the latest innovation. It combines the vaginal approach and endoscopy via the vagina. L
Probing the internal structure of crystalline materials is vital for understanding and optimizing their functional properties, especially in semiconductors and multiferroics, where nanoscale distortions such as strain and lattice tilt can dramatically affect performance. Among various characterization tools, X-ray diffraction imaging offers a unique combination of deep penetration, nondestructive
Purpose: The Extremely Preterm Infants in Sweden Study (EXPRESS) followed a national cohort of extremely preterm born (EPT, i.e. <27 weeks) children until 12 years of age. This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal development of visual acuity (VA) in children born EPT, explore the predictive value of early visual assessments, and evaluate risk factors for visual impairment at the age of 12
Viruses are the most abundant and genetically diverse entities on Earth, yet the functions and evolution of most viral proteins remain poorly understood. Their rapid evolution often obscures evolutionary relationships, limiting the ability to assign functions using sequence-based methods. Although the conservation of protein fold can reveal deep homologies, viral proteins remain underrepresented i
