Introduction: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists including Mounjaro and Ozempic, are increasingly used for weight management. Assessing the attitudes and beliefs of current and future healthcare professionals is important considering their roles in recommending and prescribing these drugs. This study aimed to investigate the attitudes toward Mounjaro and Ozempic and its correlation

Being information literate, i.e. being able to critically evaluate information and arguments in relation to empirical evidence, is extremely important. Our study combines learning science and drama to explore if 6th grade students can grasp certain aspects of information literacy, such as fake news and filter bubbles. By analyzing free-text responses we concluded that the students are aware of the

The Swedish Regional Climate Modelling Programme, SWECLIM, was a 6.5-year national research network for regional climate modeling, regional climate change projections and hydrological impact assessment and information to a wide range of stakeholders. Most of the program activities focussed on the regional climate system of Northern Europe. This led to the establishment of an advanced, coupled atmo

Titel: Digitalisering av byggprocessen genom drönarburna avbildningsmetoder: Möjligheter och utmaningar med avbildningsmetoderna LiDAR och fotogrammetri Författare: Melker Hollén, Robin Lundqvist Handledare: Carlos Martinez Examinator: Radhlinah Aulin Syfte & mål: Analysera drönarburen LiDAR-mätning och fotogrammetri-mätning och se hur de bidrar till digitaliseringen av byggbranschen samt

I takt med att Sverige strävar efter att uppnå klimatneutralitet har återvinning av schaktmassor fått ökad betydelse. Vikten av samordning mellan olika bygg- och anläggningsprojekt har lyfts för att öka den cirkulära masshanteringen. Lokalt belägna återvinningsanläggningar för massor har angetts som ett sätt att underlätta återvinningen av massor. Samtidigt upplevs lagstiftningen som reglerar olikThe management of excavated materials is becoming more important as Sweden works towards climate neutrality. Improved coordination between construction projects and the use of local recycling facilities are seen as key to enabling circular mass management. However, the legislation governing the establishment and operation of mass recycling facilities is perceived as unclear, particularly regarding

Shoshana Zuboff means that the world is increasingly defined by a new system of control she calls ‘surveillance capitalism’ – an emerging digital market in the business of mining, selling, modifying and predicting human behavior through digital surveillance. Concerns have been raised that this obfuscated but ubiquitous form of governance is detrimental for individual autonomy. This thesis aims to

Information- and data literacy, the ability to critically examine and evaluate information and arguments in relation to empirical evidence, is increasingly crucial in a world overflowing with data and information from a multitude of sources. Information- and data literacy in younger students being understudied, we investigate these skills in Swedish 6th graders to learn more about the educational

Two emerging diagnostic concepts promote distinct treatments for youth with acute-onset motor abnormalities and severe concurrent psychiatric symptoms: Pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) and pediatric catatonia. Both have institutional approval in parts of Europe and in the USA, meriting an unconditional comparison of supporting evidence. Here we report results of qualitative a

In the original version of this article, the given and family names of Antoine Messéan were incorrectly structured. The name was displayed correctly in all versions at the time of publication. Also, On page 2, Lee et al. (2019) must be Lee et al. (2020) and on page 9, Krösi et al. (2022) must be Körösi et al. (2022). The original article has been corrected.

The turn of the twentieth century was a period of rapid decline in infant- and child mortality and a time of industrialization and urbanization in Sweden. It was also a period of growing social disparities in childhood mortality. The inequality in child survival was connected to a range of factors, including access to water- and sanitation, housing conditions, infant care, and possibly nutrition.

Background Advocates of short-stem THA suggest that these devices preserve proximal femoral bone for future revisions. This contention is as yet unsupported by robust evidence, and ultimately, it will be irrelevant if short-stem THA increases the overall risk of premature revision. To our knowledge, large, registry-based efforts have yet to explore the types of stems used in first-time stem revisi

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether relationships between work-related variables such as work engagement and job performance are explained by individual differences in personality. We tested this in a novel sample of leaders only (N = 344). Partial correlational analyses showed that controlling for brief Big Five personality scales lowered the explained variance on average

This chapter deals with visually impaired individuals’ experiences of learning and participation in education and working life. Health literacy is important at an individual and organisational level aiming at eliminating barriers and promoting equal opportunities for the visually impaired (SDG 10: Reduced inequality within and among countries). This study reveals that visually impaired individuals

Digital twins – realistic digital representations of physical entities, connected by real-time data flow – have spread into varied sectors of society. One sector that deserves further attention is the digital twinning of urban areas. The quick deployment of digital twins of cities and their interactions with the material and social elements of the 'smart city' have been enabled by discourses of te

A new scientific view of evolution is emerging—one that challenges and expands our understanding of how evolution works. Recent research demonstrates that organisms differ greatly in how effective they are at evolving. Whether and how each organism adapts and diversifies depends critically on the mechanistic details of how that organism operates—its development, physiology, and behavior. That is b

Transdisciplinary research (TDR) seeks to involve non-academic perspectives from the start, ensuring that research draws on diverse knowledge to better address “wicked” problems. Since TDR researchers have to engage with non-academic perspectives throughout the research process, this chapter focuses on the kind of communication practices that are appropriate and effective for engaging with people
