Background: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is occurring three times more frequently in females than in males. However, the underlying biological mechanisms driving this discrepancy remain poorly understood. To investigate the causal role of sex hormones and reproductive factors in the risk of DTC, we implemented a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: We utilized genom

Nils Månsson Mandelgren och kampen för kulturens framtid är en antologi med syftet att ge nya perspektiv på Mandelgrens omfattande livsverk. Hittills har forskningen frmäst haft fokus på hans dokumentation av äldre kulturyttringar, men hans stridbarhet och oräddhet i att utmana etablissemanget hade sikte på hur samtidens och framtidens kulturinstitutioner borde utformas och organiseras. I boken di

Background: The adoption of eHealth accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Inequalities in the adoption of eHealth during the COVID-19 pandemic have been reported, but there are few such studies among people with impairment. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate self-reported use and difficulty in the use of eHealth before the COVID-19 pandemic compared to during late social distancing re

Two different sum rules for transmission of the coherent electromagnetic field by a particulate slab are established. The particles are assumed spherical, dielectric, and randomly located, and the slab is illuminated by a plane wave at normal incidence. These sum rules are obtained assuming that the particles are passive scatterers and satisfy causality conditions. The sum rules are then employed

A novel combination of two CD-shaped double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSD) with Gammasphere, Microball, Neutron Shell, and Fragment Mass Analyzer has been exploited at the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) facility at the Argonne National Laboratory during an experimental campaign aiming to study proton-unbound states in odd-Z, N

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the ‘normality’ of our everyday lives, but it did so in the wake of a series of crises within the capitalist system, which worsened the conditions for a liveable world for many while benefitting only a few. In response to these crises, the contributions in this issue highlight the diverse ways activists continue to organise in the midst of social, political, and eco

Purpose: Mental illness due to longstanding stress is increasing. It has been shown that service users with mental illness may benefit from nature-based interventions (NBI), including equine-assisted therapy, to support their health, recovery, and activity level of daily life. However, the evidence base to support this is still weak. The aim was thus to evaluate and provide knowledge of the possib

Collaboration in governing complex environmental challenges is the norm. However, collaboration does not necessarily deliver desirable outcomes, and the importance of forming collaborative networks that effectively address the challenges at hand has been emphasized in theory and practice. Evidence for what constitutes a suitable network structure is still scarce, and the understanding of what fact

Significant amounts of HRI research effort are spent on the design/evaluation of robot bodies. Critical discussion and debates concerning the way bodies are treated and considered within HRI have tended to focus on the implications of designing/interacting with highly anthropomorphic robots, yet drawing attention away from the human body in HRI, particularly in the context of everyday interactions

ObjectiveThe 30-second Chair Stand Test (30s CST), a valid and reliable test evaluating lower extremity physical function, has been integrated into a digital eHealth program. We aimed to evaluate the agreement (inter-rater reliability) between digital self-assessment and in-person physiotherapist assessment as well as intra-rater test-retest reliability of digital self-assessment among persons wit
