Nucleic acid therapies represent a groundbreaking approach in modern medicine, capable of potentially curing previously untreatable diseases by modifying gene expression at the DNA or RNA level. Despite their promise, effective delivery of these therapies remains a significant hurdle. Addressing this challenge is the central mission of the soon-to-be-established Chalmers Precision HealthTech Hub.

Bakgrund: Många äldre personer bor kvar i sina nuvarande bostäder och för de flesta betraktas hemmet ofta som en viktig och betydelsefull plats. Med stigande ålder tillbringar äldre vanligtvis även mer tid hemma, vilket bidrar till att hemmet blir den huvudsakliga platsen för dagliga aktiviteter. Inom arbetsterapi är människans aktivitet och görande centralt och genom att engagera sig i aktiviteBackground: Many elderly people remain in their current homes, and for most, home is often considered an important and meaningful place. With rising age, elderly typically spend more time at home, making it the primary setting for daily activities. In occupational therapy, human occupation is central, and participating in occupation promotes health. However, there is a lack of summary of exist
Bakgrund: Personer med svår psykisk ohälsa upplever ofta svårigheter med bearbetning och hantering av sensoriska intryck i sin vardag. Detta kan påverka aktivitetsengagemang, leda till mindre upplevd kontroll i vardagen och ökad ångest. I dagsläget är forskning inom sensorisk modulering begränsad och det saknas evidens om mer omfattande interventioner som den nyligen utvecklade interventionen SensBackground: People with severe mental illness often experience difficulties with processing and managing sensory input in their everyday life. This can affect occupational engagement and lead to decreased sense of control in everyday life and increased anxiety. However, there is limited research on sensory modulation and more extensive interventions such as the newly developed Sensory Awareness Pr
The carbon intensity is an important metric that provides a clear measure of the environmental impact associated with the electricity use. Carbon intensity of electricity use is differentiated into CO₂ equivalents per kilowatt-hour, which standardises the measurement by expressing the emissions of various greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO₂ based on their global warming poten

Criminality has always been a problem within society. During the last couple of years, we have seen an increase in young people's involvement in crime, which could indicate that the ongoing preventive work is not successful enough.

Bakgrund: Upp till 90 % av alla som behandlats för huvud- och halscancer får lymfödem. Lymfödem i svalget kan bland annat leda till eller förvärra dysfagi. Idag finns det inget standardiserat svenskt material för att bedöma laryngofaryngeala ödem till följd av huvud- och halscancer. Syfte: Studien syftar till att reliabilitetstesta den svenska översättningen av revised Patterson Edema Scale, Sv-r-
