BACKGROUND: This study investigates the excess costs of dementia from healthcare, social care services, and prescription drugs 3 years before to 6 years after diagnosis. Further, sociodemographic cost differences are explored.METHODS: Using Swedish register data from 2013 to 2016 to compare individuals diagnosed with dementia (n = 15,339) with population controls, the excess formal care costs for

Methods for soil water conditions assessment are often highly localized or data demanding. In this study we propose a new scalable approach to assess soil water conditions. The main goal is to test whether the approach can be used to provide information about local conditions, without the need of extensive data sets. The approach utilizes a combination of normalized topography derived from the HAN

Enhancing forest drought resilience is important for preserving ecosystem services in the face of climate change, but operational management methods for boreal forests aiming to preserve ecosystem services under drought are still largely missing. This study explores the use of satellite remote sensing to monitor vegetation stress phases related to drought progression and to quantify both short- an

The European spruce bark beetle ( Ips typographus L.) is a biotic disturbance that devastates forest environmental services, and its activities are exacerbated due to climate change. Accordingly, researchers seek workflows using remote sensing imagery for bark beetle detection in the early stage of the attack, enabling proactive management. Most previous studies attempted to detect attacks with pi

Galectin-8 contains two different carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs). Selective inhibitors for at least one CRD are desirable for galectin-8 biology studies and potentially for pharmacological purposes. Structure-guided design led to the discovery of potent and selective glycomimetic-heterocycle hybrid ligands, with a 4-(p-bromophenyl)phthalazinone derivative displaying a 34 μM Kd for galecti

Arkivens mediala villkor reglerar alltid historikerns förståelse och tolkning av det förflutna; det gäller även audiovisuella arkiv – vilka dessutom har en specifik mediehistoria. Denna bok handlar om hur audiovisuella medier kom att bevaras i Sverige under en sextioårsperiod med fokus på en rad olika modaliteter: film, ljud, eter. Det rör sig om en institutionshistorik med mediala förtecken där f

Firefighters are exposed to harmful and toxic substances during firefighting activities (i.e. training, live firefighting and overhaul) in building fires. This paper studies the impact of ‘new’ and sustainable materials (‘green’ buildings) on firefighter’s exposures during firefighting interventions. Cross-laminated wood (CLT), recycled wood material (referred to as ‘RECOMA’ in this paper) and gla

This paper examines the reaction-to-fire behaviour of building materials containing phase change materials by predicting their fire classification according to the European reaction-to-fire classification system (Euroclasses). While various building materials containing PCMs exist today, their application in buildings has been somewhat limited due to the fire behaviour of these building materials.

BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory joint disease, that influences patients' health in different ways, including physical, social, emotional, and psychological aspects. The goal of rheumatology care is to achieve optimal health and personalised care and therefore, it is essential to understand what health means for patients in the early course of RA. The aim

The aim of this study was to determine plasma levels of three adhesion molecules that may contribute to the development of diabetic retinopathy; soluble endothelial selectin (sE-selectin), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), in young adults, aged 15-34 years at diagnosis of diabetes, to find potential predictors for developm
