In an explorative manner this article uses a data driven digital history set-up to focus on broad cultural heritage issues in Sweden during the second half of the 20th century. By distant reading and topic modeling a dataset of 3100 Swedish Government Official Reports (SOU) between 1945–89, the article gives a new perspective of how the Swedish state examined and discussed national cultural herita
Aims: To develop and validate sex-specific risk prediction models based on easily obtainable clinical data for predicting 5-year risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) among individuals with impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and generate practical tools for public use. Methods: The data used for model training and internal validation came from a large prospective cohort (N = 18,384). Two independent cohorts
SwedAD, a Swedish nationwide registry for patients with atopic dermatitis receiving systemic pharmacotherapy, was launched on 1 September 2019. We describe here the establishment of a user-friendly registry to the benefit of patients with atopic dermatitis. By 5 November 2022, 38 clinics had recorded 931 treatment episodes in 850 patients with an approximate national coverage rate of 40%. Characte
BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies have linked transportation noise to increased morbidity and mortality, particularly for cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies investigating metabolic outcomes such as diabetes are limited and have focused only on noise exposures estimated for the loudest residential façade.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine the influence of long-term residential exposure to trans
The use of disposable and reusable packaging is a hot topic in policy and practice, but different studies have come to different conclusions on when each packaging type is the more sustainable alternative. The purpose of this paper is to map and review scientific literature that compares disposable and reusable packaging for food, beverages and e-commerce from a sustainability perspective. The met
Given population ageing and the emphasis on in-home care, more working-age adults are facing the demands of providing unpaid care to the elderly with potential implications for their own well-being. Such effects likely vary across Europe because care is differently organized with a differing emphasis on public support, dependence on family, and orientation toward gender equality. We studied the re
BACKGROUND: Many factors influence housing choices among older adults, but far from all have been identified. There is little systematic analysis that has included economic factors and virtually no knowledge about the interplay among perceived costs of moving, health status, and the mobility rate of older homeowners. It is currently unclear whether economic factors influence older adults' willingn
We present a method for human brain fixation based on simultaneous perfusion of 4% paraformaldehyde through carotids after a flush with saline. The left carotid cannula is used to perfuse the body with 10% formalin, to allow further use of the body for anatomical research or teaching. The aim of our method is to develop a vascular fixation protocol for the human brain, by adapting protocols that a
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors have an increased morbidity and mortality from secondary cancers and cardiovascular disease (CD). We evaluate doses with involved node radiotherapy (INRT) delivered as 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D CRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), or proton therapy (PT), compared with the extensive Mantle Field (MF). Patients and methods: For 27 patients with early-sta
Eftersom människor tillbringar större delen av sin dagliga tid inomhus idag, ökar intresset och användningen av system för inomhusmiljöer, så kallade inomhuspositioneringssystem (IPS). De senaste åren har det därför tillkommit nya dataformat för inomhuskartläggning och kommersiella IPS och har ännu inte studerats ingående. Därför ger rapporten en översikt över huvuddelarna i IPS: dataformat för inAs people spend most of their daily time indoor today, the interest and usage of systems for indoor environments, called indoor positioning systems (IPSs), are increasing. The last couple of years, new data formats for indoor mapping and commercial IPSs have been released and they are not yet extensively studied. Hence, this thesis provides an overview of the main parts of IPSs: data formats for i
This thesis is a field study which was conducted for 10 weeks in the regional capital city of Casamance named Ziguinchor in Senegal. By using tools from feminist critical theory and methodology such as participatory observations and feminist in-depth interviews with women organisations in Ziguinchor, the purpose of the thesis is to understand how gender roles affect women and women organisations s
Nutrient recovered faecal sludge is a novel alternative fertilizer product, and is proposed to be promoted in places where improvement in sanitation management is needed, for example in Uganda’s capital Kampala. However, Uganda and most of Africa is perceived as a faecofobic area, i.e. where faeces are stigmatized and guarded by taboos, and there is lacking information regarding Ugandan farmers’ p
Sierra Leone struggles with one of the world’s highest rates of teenage pregnancy. Reducing the rate of teenage pregnancy and ensuring access to education for all are key to achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls. This is not only a top priority for the government but also an essential part of ensuring the human rights of the population and achieving inclusive development, as rec
Sammanfattning Handeln har traditionell sett haft sitt fäste i stadskärnorna men har sedan 1990-talet haft en svag utveckling i jämförelse med externhandeln och e-handeln. Externhandeln är förvisso pressad av konkurrensen från andra handelsplatser men är fortfarande en tuff konkurrent till cityhandeln. Trots detta har externhandeln expanderat de senaste åren och numera finns det köpcentrum och hanTraditionally, city commerce has always had a strong foothold in Swedish cities. However, in recent years the city commerce has experienced a weaker growth in comparison with external shopping and e-commerce. While the external shopping sector is experiencing competition from its own sector and e-commerce and struggles with an over-supply of malls it’s still a tough competitor to city commerce. De

Today there are still single family houses with direct electric heating systems, even though this is an expensive and inefficient way of heating a house. It is common to install an air-to-air heat pump that requires less electricity to produce the same amount of heat as a direct electricity heating system. These heat pumps do not produce any energy for domestic hot water since the water is heated
The world continues to boil due to capital’s incapacity to resolve its climatic contradictions. Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), a technological process theorised to instantly reduce global temperatures, has piqued the interest of a now desperate ruling class. Given its worldwide impacts, enormous risks, and capitalist- imperialist reproductive capacities, it is crucial to engage with SAI wh
