Background and Aims: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is common worldwide, but hepatic involvement is rare. HSV hepatitis is an uncommon yet frequently catastrophic cause of acute hepatitis and acute liver failure (ALF), accounting for < 1% of ALF cases while carrying very high mortality when diagnosis and antiviral therapy are delayed. Although classically associated with profound immunosuppr
Graphical methods for system analysis have played a central role in control theory. The Scaled Relative Graph (SRG) has recently emerged as a useful tool for stability analysis of feedback interconnections. In this letter, we further extend its applicability by showing how the SRG of a discrete-time linear-time-invariant (LTI) system can be computed exactly from its state-space representation usin
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly researched and applied in medicine and healthcare. The high stakes of these applications have raised a particular demand for them to be, to some degree, transparent. Yet, how AI experts consider transparency and turn it into practice in the development of medical AI remains underexplored. As the notion of AI technologies as black boxes per
This study explores how different types of information can support fire service operations during fire incidents through the concept of Smart Firefighting. Semi-structured interviews with 47 incident commanders across three countries have been applied to examine how different types of information (pre-planned, real-time, and predictive) affect decision-making. The findings strongly indicate that rThis study explores how different types of information can support fire service operations during fire incidents through the concept of Smart Firefighting.

This study presents a cost-efficient method to assess the condition of fire-retardant treatments on existing wooden façades. The method is based on measuring changes in Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC), linked to the hygroscopic salts used in fire-retardant systems on the Swedish market. These salts increase wood moisture uptake, which can cause leaching and reduced fire performance over time.

Liquidity constraints are often seen as a barrier to entrepreneurship, with many relying on personal or informal capital to start a business. This paper examines whether increased access to equity ─ via rising value of owner-occupied housing ─ affects the likelihood of business entry. Using detailed Swedish tax return data and exploiting the 2008 property tax reform as a natural experiment, we ana
Light chain monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (LC-MGUS) is defined by an abnormal serum free light chain ratio and elevated involved light chain in the absence of a detectable immunoglobulin heavy chain on immunofixation and of end-organ damage attributable to a plasma cell disorder. It is the least characterized of the MGUS subtypes and the one whose accurate diagnosis is most de
INTRODUCTION: Central venous catheters (CVCs) are essential in modern healthcare. Insertion of a CVC promotes a hypercoagulable environment, in part through activation of the intrinsic coagulation pathway. We have previously shown that blood obtained from newly inserted CVCs demonstrates immediate coagulation activation, with differences between samples collected directly after insertion and after
Previous studies suggest an increased risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) following SARS-CoV-2 infection, which may be subject to detection bias from increased health care contacts among the infected. We aimed to assess the causal effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on new-onset T2D using a test-negative design and negative control outcomes. We included all individuals aged ≥ 18 years registered in
This paper examines integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into the TRIZ contradiction matrix (TRIZ-C+LLM) to support engineering students in creative problem-solving. Experiments with three problems show that LLMs did not always improve design quality for complex tasks but reduced cognitive workload, improved understanding of contradictions, and increased perceived usefulness. Prompting experie
For this episode of “Global Governance Beyond Neoliberalism”, we had the pleasure of engaging with Ian Manners, professor of political science at Lund University. Manners has decades of experience in teaching in Denmark, Britain and Sweden and is widely known for his work on normative power, European integration, and global politics. His research explores how values, identities, and political norm
Researchers and civil society have proposed separating targets for emissions reductions and carbon dioxide removal to prevent mitigation deterrence – the risk that the anticipation of future removals delays decarbonisation. In 2017, Sweden became the first state to adopt separated targets, specifying that its 2045 net-zero target must be reached through a minimum of 85% domestic emissions reductio
'Does the EU Still Have Normative Power? Rethinking Europe in a Time of Crisis' brought to you by the European Dialogue.What does it mean for the European Union to have “normative power” in today’s world, and does that idea still hold?In this episode recorded in February 2026, Professor Ian Manners revisits the concept he famously coined and reflects on how the EU’s global role is being reshaped i
Recent global shocks have significantly impacted India’s Energy-Storage-Systems (ESS), revealing vulnerabilities in supply chains, investment flow, and market stability, while underscoring the urgent requirement for resilience and sustainability in this vital aspect of renewable integration. The study is grounded in Supply-Chain-Resilience-Theory and Dynamic-Capabilities-Theory and focuses on Indi
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) enters the brain along perivascular spaces in a manner that depends on aquaporin-4 (AQP4) polarization, facilitating brain clearance and is called the glymphatic system. While physiological factors such as cardiovascular activity and respiration are known to influence glymphatic function, the effects of hypothermia remain poorly understood. In this study, we used quantita
