Konstruktiv länkning, studentaktivitet och föreläsningar är tre grundstenar i högre utbildning. Men föreläsningen som undervisningsform har kritiserats: ”Det finns gott om högskolepedagogisk litteratur som förklarar varför föreläsningen är olämplig för att stimulera lärande. Ändå fortsätter vi föreläsa”, skriver Andreas Håkansson (2017, s. 40) i en artikel som trots allt landar i att denna undervi

BACKGROUND: Excessive dietary salt intake is associated with elevated blood pressure and damage to organs including the heart, vasculature, and kidneys. Women are more prone to salt-sensitive hypertension, yet preclinical studies often focus on men.METHODS: To examine sex-specific responses to chronic salt loading, male and female C57Bl6/J mice were fed a high-salt diet (HSD; 8% NaCl) from 7 to 14

In this article, we analyze the reception of the AI-generated poetry collection Ammaseus horisont: AI tolkar Karin Boye (2020) and discuss the more general debate about AI-generated literature in the Swedish press since November 2022, when OpenAI made ChatGPT available to the public. Specifically, we analyze the ways in which Swedish critics construct the literary value of Ammaseus horisont and un

Groundwater, as a vital water resource in arid and semi-arid regions, plays a crucial role in sustaining human livelihoods, agriculture, and industry. Over recent decades, these areas have witnessed rapid groundwater depletion, raising concerns about resource sustainability. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors contributing to the decline in groundwater levels (GWL) withi

CONTEXT: Statin use is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and mild hyperglycemia. The underlying mechanisms are not well studied and the effect of statin treatment on GLP-1 secretion or production are unknown.OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of rosuvastatin on GLP-1 secretion and production.METHODS: We performed association studies in the Malmö Diet and Cancer study cardiovascular c

Objectives To investigate the association of diabetes, hypertension and overweight/obesity with physical activity (PA), self-efficacy for pain and self-efficacy for other symptoms before and after a 6- week exercise and education intervention for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA), and to assess outcome disparities based on metabolic health. Methods Register-based cohort study using the Swedish Oste

The Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS) officially became the 33rd European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) on 25 April 2023 with the support of 17 founding member and observer countries. As a pan-European legal organization, ACTRIS ERIC will coordinate the provision of data and data products on short-lived atmospheric constituents and clouds relevant to clim

A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) has been conceived and constructed as a heavy-ion experiment at the LHC. During LHC Runs 1 and 2, it has produced a wide range of physics results using all collision systems available at the LHC. In order to best exploit new physics opportunities opening up with the upgraded LHC and new detector technologies, the experiment has undergone a major upgrade duri

Background and Purpose Plaque rupture is the underlying cause of most cardiovascular events, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. The co-stimulatory molecule LIGHT (tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 14, TNFSF14) has been detected in foam cell-rich regions of atherosclerotic plaques, but whether it has a role in plaque stability is not known. This study investigates the association betw

OBJECTIVES: Asphalt is frequently used as road pavement and consists of bitumen as a binder, and fillers. Bitumen consists of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, where a minor component is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Many PAHs are classified as carcinogenic to humans. Bitumen fumes from road paving have been classified as possibly carcinogenic. Paving and milling are open processes gen

This thesis explores how time is represented in movies. It focuses on the challenges and possibilities that faces both the filmmakers and the audience in creating and interpreting a timeline. The investigation begins with a study of narrative tools used in movies that are characterised by a traditional, linear timeline where events are linked by cause and effect and continues with an investigation

This chapter analyses floating charges in the Nordic countries, focusing on Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Nordic property laws are known for their functional approach, and while property law rules in the Nordic countries are generally fragmentary, Nordic security rights laws are more codified. The four Nordic countries all have floating charges (or equivalent security rights). The chapter d

Objective: Investigate the role of metabolic syndrome and obesity in incident osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Prospective cohort study with up to 11 years follow-up. From a general population cohort of 28,786 individuals from Sweden aged 45 to 75, we selected individuals without OA diagnosis and without joint pain during the year prior to the baseline. Metabolic syndrome was defined at baseline by t

Despite the importance of the gut microbiome to health, the role of human genetic variation in shaping its composition remains poorly understood. Here we report genome-wide association analyses of harmonized metagenomic data from 16,017 adults in four Swedish population-based studies, with replication in 12,652 people from the Norwegian HUNT study. We identified variants in the OR51E1–OR51E2 locus

Background: Cortical contusions are common in moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cortical contusions often expand, potentially causing neuro-worsening several hours to days post-trauma. While contusion expansion (CE) may affect outcome, potential clinical and radiological markers that can predict CE have been insufficiently explored. In the present single-center retrospective observatio
