Recent announcements by the US Government linking paracetamol use during pregnancy to autism in offspring highlight the risks of misinterpreting observational research to inform policy; this is a clear example of the principle that association does not equal causation. Unmeasured familial confounding is a common bias in epidemiological studies, whereby shared genetic or environmental factors withi
As climate change-related hazards intensify, enhanced adaptation efforts that extend beyond technological solutions and include active roles for citizens are required. We introduce the novel concept of climate adaptation citizenship, defined through the three dimensions of awareness, action, and political engagement, to explore how citizens in small, remote Nordic communities engage with different
Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is essential for predicting aquatic carbon fluxes and managing water quality in boreal catchments. Traditional DOC modelling approaches are limited in their ability to represent seasonal dynamics, event-driven responses, and riparian-zone contributions. Here, we evaluate the performance of the Krycklan-HYPE model in simula
Many seriously ill and frail older people experience a lack of practical support and meaningful social engagement. While healthcare provides good medical support, it lacks the full competence and resources to help with social, practical and existential challenges that can arise near the end-of-life. Increasingly, resources in civil society are enlisted to fill this care gap. One such attempt to br
The causal link between potentially traumatic events and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) remains unclear due to reliance on retrospective self-reports and limited control for familial factors. Here, in this Swedish population-based cohort study, we identified 3,340,945 individuals born between 1975 and 2008 and prospectively examined the associations of objectively recorded assault/victimizati
Large-scale Euro-Atlantic variability, shaped by the polar jet stream, governs weather and climate in the Baltic Sea region, thereby impacting the physical and biogeochemical properties of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. This review synthesizes how key atmospheric circulation features and modes of climate variability, including the North Atlantic Oscillation, atmospheric blocking and the Atlantic Multid
BackgroundCytoreductive surgery is central to the management of advanced ovarian cancer. As the extent of surgery varies widely, assessment of postoperative risk is challenging. The Karolinska Surgical Extent and Complexity Score (K-SECS) was developed to quantify surgical extent and has previously been associated with survival. This study evaluated whether K-SECS is also associated with major pos
This thesis discusses how teachers’ experiences of teaching online is related to how they chose to teach. Previous research has shown that contextual factors can influence how teachers go about their teaching, and when university courses leave the physical campus and move to an online environment, this entails a change of context. The research presented here focuses on teachers’ experiences and ch
INTRODUCTION: Cognitive impairment is common in parkinsonian disorders, but its extent among older adults with subtle motor abnormalities without a diagnosed movement disorder remains unclear. We examined cognitive decline, domain-specific cognitive function and incident dementia in older adults with subthreshold parkinsonism and parkinsonism (primary analysis). Sensitivity analyses were repeated
The classification of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) based on ECG changes has evolved over time. Before the revascularization era, AMI was classified based on Q-waves that indicate loss of myocardium. After thrombolysis trials in the 1990s demonstrated a survival benefit, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) classificatio
OBJECTIVE: Emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) is linked to crowding and patient outcomes whereas worse prognosis in low socioeconomic status remains poorly understood. We studied whether income was associated with ED process times among patients with chest pain.METHODS: This was a registry-based cohort study on 124,980 patients arriving at 14 Swedish EDs between 2015 and 2019 with chest p
INTRODUCTION: The Emergency Medicine Education and Research by Global Experts (EMERGE) network was formed to generate and translate evidence to improve global emergency care. We share the challenges faced and lessons learned in establishing a global research network.METHODS: We describe the challenges encountered when EMERGE proposed the development of a global emergency department (ED) visit regi
This article outlines the historical significance of People’s Parks and Houses in Sweden, especially in the Öresund region, and examines how these spaces persist today as cultural heritage through four case studies highlighting how history is (and is not) reflected in the urban landscape. It emphasizes their roots in political movements and argues that these sites offer important insights into the
BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study represents an external validation with model updating of the online DIGIROP-Prescreen and DIGIROP-Screen 2.0 prediction models, incorporating ≥14 days of parenteral nutrition as an additional predictor, to identify infants requiring treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a contemporary Swedish cohort, estimate potential cost savings and compare DIGIROP perfor
Objective: The aim was to investigate associations between dental healthcare utilization and all-cause, cardiovascular (CVD), cancer, and other-cause mortality. Materials and methods: A postal public health survey was distributed in the autumn of 2008 to a strat-ified random sample of the population aged 18–80 in Scania, southern Sweden (response rate 54.1%). Baseline survey data were linked to mo
The field of attosecond physics has expanded significantly in recent years, yet experimental facilities supporting attosecond pump–attosecond probe spectroscopy remain rare. Here, we present a newly constructed beamline for the generation and application of energetic, isolated extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft x-ray attosecond pulses via upscaling of high-harmonic generation (HHG) in a gas medium
Understanding the recombination landscape is crucial for revealing the extent of its variation across the tree of life and for uncovering its underlying causes and evolutionary consequences. Among the many factors influencing recombination rates, polymorphic inversions are particularly important modifiers. Increasingly, complex inversion landscapes are being documented across diverse taxa, and det
Aims:The Evangelical-Lutheran Swedish Church was separated from the state in 2000. In the 2001–2025 elections to the church meeting, a trend of increasing support for political/theological extremes can be discerned. The aim is to investigate these trends in terms of Sartori’s concept polarized pluralism, which was later modified.Results:The political/theological center which consists of the SocialAims: The Evangelical-Lutheran Swedish Church was separated from the state in 2000.
