Abstract – Although electroencephalography (EEG) is used to assess neonatal pain in research settings, EEG assessments have not been sufficiently characterized for use as end points to assess the efficacy of analgesics in regulatory-endorsed, industry-sponsored trials. We aimed to identify all studies conducted in neonates with EEG recordings during acute somatic nociceptive skin-breaking procedur

National quality registries provide valuable opportunities for prospective, standardised follow-up of clinical outcomes over long periods. In cleft care, such long-term data remain limited internationally, particularly beyond childhood. The Swedish National Cleft Lip and Palate (CL/P) Registry, established in 1999 with predefined variables and standardised follow-ups, enables longitudinal evaluati

This paper draws on Karen Barad’s agential realism - which understands agency asrelational rather than individually possessed (2007) - to examine how costumes canact as active hosts capable of creating temporary, sensorial, and co-constitutedcollectives; tactile agents that co-create relational bodies. Central to this approachis embracing the differences bodies bring - their varied orientations, h

The demand for more water in the southwestern parts of the United States of America is growing due to an increasing population, while climate conditions are becoming more unfavorable with higher temperatures and less precipitation.

The empirical material consists of two Swedish self-biographies by Elaf Ali (2

The functional decline of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with age is a well-documented phenomenon, associated with various health complications, including anemia, impaired immune responses, and chronic inflammation. This dysfunction can contribute to the onset of hematological disorders such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML

This thesis investigates how high-income individuals in Sweden navigate their everyday

Since the Industrial Revolution, human activity has driven major changes in the global climate through increased greenhouse gas emissions. To address this, the EU has introduced several regulatory instruments, including the CSRD and the accompanying ESRS, which require companies to report on environmental and social impacts, risks, and opportunities. As part of these obligations, companies are req
