This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. During 7-8 of May, 80 researchers within MERGE and BECC met to learn about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and how their research can be linked, and contribute, to the implementation of the goals. We are just as far from reaching the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) as Burkina Faso. We just have different

“Toke is shy but does the most exploring of all of them, while Siggi is relaxed and friendly. But you have to know them to be able to work with them”, says cognitive scientist Stephan Reber. He is not talking about his colleagues but the alligators now on site in Ystad zoo, where the researchers have a specially adapted facility to study the animals’ behaviour. The heat and humidity hit you as soo

INTRODUCTION: Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious complication in infants and children with severe congenital bleeding disorders causing substantial mortality and long-term neurological morbidity. The neonatal period carries the highest risk, particularly in severe haemophilia and rare factor deficiencies. We review the epidemiology, risk factors, prevention, recognition, management

Sports-related concussions (SRCs) typically occur when the brain is hyperthermic. Acute head-and-neck cooling should, therefore, reduce the brain's metabolic demands, with the potential to improve recovery following an SRC. Elite ice hockey players who underwent head-and-neck cooling after sustaining a concussion (SRC) showed reduced return-to-play times, although further investigation is warrante

Introduction Autistic persons experience problems with movements and body awareness in everyday functionality, expressed in affected movement quality. Yet, there is a knowledge gap about the effects of interventions targeting these aspects in autistic persons. Objective To evaluate effects of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) and treatment-as-usual (TAU), compared to TAU alone on movement qualit

Background: Sundbyberg municipality (part of greater Stockholm) has reconstructed a traditional two-lane road, with an allowed speed limit of 30 km/h, into a road with one car lane and two bicycle lanes, one on either side of the car lane (a “two minus one road”). The aim was to increase traffic safety and accessibility, especially for bicyclists and pedestrians Method: The design used was a befor

OBJECTIVE: Communication about patients' values, goals, and prognosis in serious illness (serious illness communication) is a cornerstone of person-centered care yet difficult to implement in practice. As part of Serious Illness Care Program implementation in five health systems, we studied the clinical culture-related factors that supported or impeded improvement in serious illness conversations.

Background and objective The Scania Accelerated Intermittent Theta-burst Implementation Study (SATIS) aimed to investigate the tolerability, preliminary effectiveness, and practical feasibility of an accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aTBS) protocol in treating depression. Methods We used an open-label observational design, recruiting 20 patients (aged 19–84 years) from two public b

Despite the anticipated benefits of smart home technology (SHT) to support older adults' engagement in meaningful activities, barriers to the adoption of SHT have been identified. While research in the field of technology is surging, research on older adults playing an active role in designing and developing SHT to enhance usability is lacking. It is important to co-develop solutions to place olde

Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the small intestine (siNET) are slow-growing malignancies often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Despite their indolent nature, patients frequently experience significant symptoms, including carcinoid syndrome (CS) with diarrhoea, which impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This thesis investigates the determinants of HRQoL in siNET patients, its prog

BACKGROUND: Serious illness communication is a key element of high-quality care, but it is difficult to implement in practice. The Serious Illness Care Program (SICP) is a multifaceted intervention that contributes to more, earlier, and better serious illness conversations and improved patient outcomes. This qualitative study examined the organizational and implementation factors that influenced i

Denna studie undersöker hur restid upplevs och används av kollektivtrafikresenärer. Genom en enkät med drygt tusen respondenter och samtal i en fokusgrupp framkommer flera intressanta insikter.Mobiltelefonen har blivit den mest använda utrustningen ombord, medan traditionella medier som böcker och tidningar har minskat i förekomst. Vanliga aktiviteter under resan inkluderar att scrolla på mobilen,This study examines how travel time is perceived and utilised by public transport passengers. Through a survey of just over a thousand respondents and discussions in a focus group, several interesting insights emerge.The mobile phone has become the most used device on board, while traditional media such as books and newspapers have decreased in prevalence. Common activities during the journey incl

The skate Leucoraja erinacea has an elaborately shaped pupil, whose characteristics and functions have received little attention. The goal of our study was to investigate the pupil response in relation to natural ambient light intensities. First, we took a recently developed sensory-ecological approach, which gave us a tool for creating a controlled light environment for behavioural work: During a

Background and purpose: Patients with focal cartilage lesions experience functional impairment. Results for biological treatments in the middle-aged patient is poor. Previous studies with focal prosthetic inlay resurfacing have shown a higher risk of conversion to total knee replacement at mid-term follow-up. A novel customized implant (Episealer, Episurf, Stockholm, Sweden) has been proposed to i

Technological and policy solutions for transitioning to a fossil-free society exist, many countries could afford the transition, and rational arguments for rapid climate action abound. Yet effective action is still lacking. Dominant policy approaches have failed to generate action at anywhere near the rate, scale or depth needed to avoid potentially catastrophic futures. This is despite 30 years o

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is rare in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Thus, the clinical features and outcomes are not well described. Cases of histologically confirmed CNS HL diagnosed between 1995 and 2015 were retrospectively identified in institutional (n = 7), national (n = 2), and cooperative group (n = 1) databases. We screened 30,781 patients with HL in our combined data

Objectives: To assess the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) and their caregivers and to quantify the disease-related costs from a societal perspective. Methods: In the context of a multi-country study of rare diseases (BURQOL-RD project), a cross-sectional survey was performed among MPS patients in seven European countries. Data on demographic char

Poland holds great potential for bioenergy. However, biomass production from dedicated energy crops has not developed at a pace that was hoped. Clearly, there are barriers hindering farmers. The aim of this research was to directly explore the farmers’ perspective on barriers to growing dedicated energy crops in Poland. During the on-the-ground research conducted in Poland the perceptions regardin
