“United by Music” was the slogan of the 2024 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held in Malmö. However, the festive spirit of the event oddly contrasted with what was described as “the largest police operation in Sweden’s history” (Ivarsson, 2024). This operation was mobilized in response to the expected civil protests regarding Eurovision’s decision to welcome Israel’s participation, despite
ImportanceSyncope remains a diagnostic challenge despite advancements in testing and treatment. Cardiac syncope is an independent predictor of mortality and can be difficult to distinguish from other causes of transient loss of consciousness (TLOC).ObservationsThe cause of TLOC is often unclear, hospitalization criteria are ambiguous, diagnostic tests are frequently non-informative, and assessment
Adaptiv återanvändning, det vill säga konvertering av befintliga byggnader till nya funktioner, utgör ett hållbart alternativ till rivning och nybyggnation genom att minska miljöpåverkan, bevara material och reducera kostnader. Föreliggande studie utgör den första storskaliga och systematiska analysen av adaptiv återanvändning i Sverige, baserad på energideklarationer (EPC) från 141 778 byggnader Adaptive reuse, the conversion of existing buildings to new functions, offers a sustainable alternative to demolition and new construction by reducing environmental impact, conserving materials, and minimising costs. This study presents the first large-scale, systematic analysis of adaptive reuse in Sweden, using Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) from 141 778 buildings issued between 2007 and
BackgroundAs primary health care forms the basis of the health care system, it is regarded as an efficient way to address main causes of, and risk factors for, poor health. In the Swedish health care system, general practitioners play a role in facilitating access to specialized health care and in coordinating care from other parts of the health care system. In Sweden, recent marketization efforts
Aim: While diabetes mellitus (types 1 and 2) is known to negatively impact vestibular and auditory function, the precise mechanisms underlying this effect are not fully understood. Building on our previous findings, which demonstrated the presence of insulin signaling components within the human saccule and identified the sodium transporter ENaC as a target for insulin signaling in HEI-OC1 auditor
In 2007, the Bárány Society embarked on a project to establish definitions of vestibular syndromes and disorders based on best available evidence, referred to as the International Classification of Vestibular Disorders (ICVD). Since then, numerous publications providing consensus-driven diagnostic criteria for vestibular symptoms, syndromes, and disorders have been published. Here, we reflect on t
INTRODUCTION: The FEV1 quotient (FEV1Q), calculated as the index between FEV1 and a theoretical lower survivable FEV1 threshold of 0.4L for females and 0.5L for males, has been investigated as a novel method of interpreting results from lung function testing. The applicability of the FEV1Q in populations with chronic respiratory failure has not been studied, and the continuous association between
This paper investigates the roles of employee diversity for environmental innovations in firms. Utilizing firm-level survey data on environmental innovations and employer–employee register data, we construct measures of employee diversity across education, nationality, and gender for over 6500 Swedish firms. We argue, grounded in the Lundvall–Johnson conceptualization of knowledge, that the positi
Despite the advent of advanced molecular prognostic tools, it is still difficult to predict the course of disease for cancer patients at the individual level. This lack of predictability is also reflected in many experimental cancer model systems, begging the question of whether certain biological aspects of cancer (eg. growth, evolution etc.) can ever be anticipated or if there remains an inheren
BackgroundTranscriptomic and genomic analyses of bladder cancer (BC) reveal a highly diverse disease stratified into molecular subtypes with distinct molecular features and biological behaviors. Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) and plasticity can significantly impact diagnosis and patient management, yet their extent in BC remains highly debated. Here, we investigated whether the three main bladder
This paper aims to empirically explore and conceptualise how circular fashion platforms enable and shape the practice of secondhand clothes shopping. Taking a shopping-as-practice approach and drawing on an ethnographically inspired study, this paper explores how a Swedish digital second-hand commerce platform enables different modes of shopping. The analysis shows that this platform and its socio
INTRODUCTION: This study explores transient and stationary effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation on f-wave characteristics in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients undergoing a tilt test. Transient phase is defined as the initial 2-minute interval following each postural change, reflecting immediate autonomic adaptation, whereas steady phase refers to the subsequent interval (from 3 m
