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

AIMS: Metformin has hitherto not been proven superior to other type 2 diabetes (T2D) medications for the prevention of organ complications. The aim of this study is to report baseline data and blinded interim analyses in the register-based randomised clinical trial (RRCT) SMARTEST, which compares metformin and the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in early T2D. We also present learnings from the novel

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) reduces disease recurrence and progression in intermediate- and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). BCG-associated adverse events during instillations are common, leading to treatment cessation. Prophylactic use of quinolones in conjunction with BCG instillations is one approach for reducing BCG-associated adverse events. O

IMPORTANCE Risk stratification strategies in primary prevention of coronary events lack precision. OBJECTIVE To determine whether prediction of first coronary events is improved by adding information on coronary atherosclerosis from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to a model using the pooled cohort equation (PCE) risk score tool and the coronary artery calcification score (CACS). D

Context. Ultra-hot Jupiters present a unique opportunity to understand the physics and chemistry of planets, their atmospheres, and interiors at extreme conditions. WASP-12 b stands out as an archetype of this class of exoplanets, with a close-in orbit around its star that results in intense stellar irradiation and tidal effects. Aims. The goals are to measure the planet's tidal deformation, atmos

Background: Previous literature indicate retinal hyperspectral imaging as a non-invasive method with the potential for identifying amyloid-beta (Aβ) protein deposits. Current diagnostic methods, such as cerebrospinal fluid analysis or positron emission tomography, are costly, invasive, and non-scalable. Hyperspectral imaging offers a potentially accessible alternative for early detection of Alzhei

Background: Emerging evidence indicates that estrogen receptor-low (ER-low)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (BC) may more closely resemble ER-negative (ER-zero, < 1%) rather than ER-positive disease in terms of biological and clinicopathological characteristics. In Sweden, ER-low (ER 1–9%) BC is managed as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and is thus eli

Aim: This study evaluates the health effects of plant-based dairy alternatives in healthy individuals and those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Specifically, it investigates whether replacing one daily meal with a plant-based alternative has a positive impact on intestinal microbiota composition and gut health. It also investigates whether the effect of probiotic bacteria in yogurt depends

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

Course: BUSN79, Degree Project in Accounting and Finance Authors: Didrik Liljeström & Evie van der Linden Advisor/Examiner: Johan Dergård/Diem Nguyen Five key words: Investment Efficiency, Under/Overinvestment, Geopolitical Uncertainty/Risk, Accounting Quality, Earnings Management Purpose: This study investigates whether high-quality accounting acts as a determinant for efficient investmen

'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

The building sector is important for Sweden’s climate mitigation efforts. Reducing emissions requires energy-efficient new buildings and sustainable renovation of existing ones. However, common envelope changes, such as thicker insulation or modified wall layers, may increase moisture accumulation and mould risk. Consequently, a comprehensive assessment of exterior walls across moisture safety, en
