INTRODUCTION: Women remain underrepresented in studies on immunological response (IR) among virally suppressed people living with HIV. Despite receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) some individuals do not attain an IR, increasing their risk of non-AIDS morbidity and mortality. This nationwide study investigated biomedical and social factors associated with IR among women with HIV in Sweden.METHOD
ObjectivesThis nested case–control study aimed to investigate the relationship between components of the Swedish food-based dietary guidelines (SDG) from 2015 and the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsData were obtained from the prospective Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS) conducted 1991–1996. Diet was assessed at baseline using a validated diet history method. Incident RA case
Katarzyna Herd, in this chapter, explores how inequalities and discriminatory practices in Swedish football manifest themselves in a country famous for its liberal and inclusive policies. She recognises that Sweden like most European countries has become a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic society which is clearly reflected in Swedish football. After considering the emergence and (contested) social
PURPOSE: A randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the impact of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on β-cell function and glucose tolerance in persons with multiple islet autoantibodies.METHODS: Individuals (n = 59; median age 11 years) with multiple islet autoantibodies were recruited to a randomized clinical trial between April 2016 and April 2021. The participants were randomized to a GFD (n
Israel’s surprise attack exposed the Islamic Republic’s staggering military vulnerability, eliminating top commanders and penetrating airspace with impunity. The regime’s collapse in air defense and intelligence is not merely operational, it reflects decades of corruption, ideological purges, and systemic decay. As the war unfolds, six scenarios emerge, including revolt and military coup.
This chapter explains that the causation inquiry performed by the European Court of Human Rights for determining breach of positive obligations has to be understood in light of the normative structural considerations that underpin state responsibility under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In particular, the responsibility system is not shaped by the corrective justice rationale tha
Background: The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action 21122, PROmoting GeRiAtric Medicine in countries where it is still eMergING (PROGRAMMING) developed an online open survey to assess the educational interests and needs of health care professionals and final-year medical students across participating countries. This survey aims to establish a current baseline for developin
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur socialarbetare och diakoner i Sverige beskriver och resonerar kring sitt förhållningssätt till personer som uttrycker skam i samband med behov av mathjälp. Tio professionella som arbetar med mathjälp deltog i individuella semistrukturerade intervjuer. Framträdande drag i resultaten är tre strategier baserade på argumentation, bemötande och handling i mThe aim of this study was to reveal how social workers and deacons in Sweden describe and reason their approach to people expressing an experience of shame when in need of food aid. Ten food aid professionals participated in individual semi-structured interviews. Prominent features in the "ndings are three strategies based on argumentation, attitude, and action in the meeting with visitors, and, a
Tropical mosquitoes transmit diseases like malaria, yellow fever, and Zika. Classifying mosquitoes by species, sex, age, and gravidity offers vital insights for assessing transmission risk and effective mitigations. Photonic monitoring for mosquito classification can be used in distributed sensors or lidars on longer ranges. However, a reflectance model and its parameters are lacking in the curren
Plastic packaging provides enormous benefits for preservation and transportation of food and beverage products. However, recycling the multilayered packaging materials represents a challenge due to the complexity of separating the components making up the different layers. The drinks packaging, having aluminium (Al) as a light barrier placed between polyethylene layers inside the paperboard carton
AIMS: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of non-invasive pressure-volume (PV) loop variables by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for determining development of adverse remodelling 3 months after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).METHODS AND RESULTS: In total, 181 STEMI patients examined with CMR during the index admi
The legal opacity of AI technologies has long posed challenges in addressing algorithmic harms, as secrecy enables companies to retain competitive advantages while limiting public scrutiny. In response, ideas such as qualified transparency have been proposed to provide AI accountability within the confidentiality constraints. With the introduction of the EU AI Act, the foundations for human-centri
BACKGROUND: Medical students navigate a complex landscape of digital tools with potential to enhance learning. The main objectives of the current study were to investigate which digital resources are being used, which background factors are associated with utilization, perceived advantages and disadvantages of different digital resources, and explore future directions.METHODS: Cross-sectional, nat
Decades of criminological research have highlighted the principle that “place matters” when analysing crime dynamics. While acknowledging this, our study emphasises that place matters at specific times of the day and days of the week. This paper explores spatiotemporal patterns of assaults in public spaces in Stockholm, Sweden, using a time–space modeling approach. By segmenting annual crime regis
Delivery of antigenic peptides to antigen presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells (DCs) using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is an attractive approach to evoke antigen-specific T cell activation and improve drug efficacy. Peptide linkage to mAbs has previously been achieved through genetic fusion, chemical conjugation, nano-engineered platforms and high affinity peptides. In this study, we h
Railway maintenance is crucial for ensuring system availability, punctuality, safety, and comfort. Though studies have shown that in reality, maintenance is 'imperfect'-inspections do not reveal all defects and repairs do not return components to as good as new and may even leave them in a worse state, railway maintenance planning is still based on periodic block-type and age-based maintenance pol
Albeit costly, flight allows birds to travel great distances in a short time, making it a highly effective mode of locomotion, especially during migration.1,2 Understanding how birds use energy during flight is essential for studying their flight ecology.3 To fly, birds flap their wings, accelerating surrounding air and generating flight forces, where the rate of energy added to the wake represent
Delar av den svenska arbetsmarknaden präglas idag av arbetskraftsexploatering, informalisering och arbetslivskriminalitet. Framförallt är migrantarbetare anställda inom bygg- och städindustrin utsatta och det är vanligt förekommande med icke utbetalda löner och utpressning (Arbetsmiljöverket, 2025). Trots detta har det fram tills nyligen varit tunnsått med initiativ från den etablerade svenska fac
