INTRODUCTION: As people age, frailty becomes increasingly prevalent and is associated with adverse outcomes, including higher risks of hospitalisation, institutionalisation and mortality. Early identification of frailty in ambulance and emergency department (ED) settings may support clinical decision-making and help predict outcomes for older patients. However, there is currently no consensus on h

The purpose of cancer screening is to reduce mortality, and ideally incidence, from the cancer screened for. Until recently, cancer screening has been offered to all persons in pre-defined sex- and age-groups. The exception is lung screening which is targeted to high-risk individuals. Evidence for effect of screening on cancer-specific mortality is available for cancer of the cervix, breast, color

BACKGROUND: Hospital readmissions are common among older multimorbid patients, and hospitalisation is associated with functional decline and reduced quality of life. Identifying patient characteristics and risk factors for repeated hospital visits following an emergency department (ED) encounter is important for guiding targeted interventions to prevent future revisits.AIM: To characterise multimo

Urban flooding poses severe risks to lives, property, and infrastructure, particularly in rapidly urbanizing cities like Kampala, Uganda. This study focuses on the Lubigi catchment, one of Kampala's largest drainage basins, which experiences frequent pluvial flooding intensified by urban encroachment, poor drainage infrastructure, and wetland degradation. To assess flood risks, a 1D and a 2D m

This study examines how small and medium-sized, logistically prominent cities with climate ambitions govern their urban freight systems toward sustainability. It provides a framework for analyzing cities' governance from a socio-technical transition perspective and explores the interrelations between governance activity design and city administrations' capabilities to manage system development. Co

BackgroundDespite the central role of forensic medical examinations in child physical abuse cases, evidence on how their findings impact prosecution is scarce.ObjectiveWe studied the association between the dependent variable, filing of formal charges, and independent variables related to the child, suspect, and case characteristics, the acts of violence, and forensic findings, such as cutaneous l

BACKGROUND: Intellectual disability (ID) and schizophrenia are known to separately carry a high risk of comorbidity of mental health and physical conditions. However, the prevalence and risk of comorbidities among people diagnosed with concurrent ID and schizophrenia have to date not been studied.METHODS: From a cohort including all people in Skåne, Sweden, the following three groups were establis

RATIONALE: Acute otitis media (AOM) is one of the most common bacterial infections in children worldwide, and the most common reason for prescribing antibiotics. Although serious complications (e.g. mastoiditis or meningitis) are rare, the infection causes acute pain and can lead to hearing impairment. Since AOM often resolves spontaneously, current treatment guidelines recommend an approach of wa

Virtual reality (VR) offers promising opportunities for procedural learning, particularly in preserving intangible cultural heritage. Advances in generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) further enrich these experiences by enabling adaptive learning pathways. However, evaluating such adaptive systems using traditional temporal metrics remains challenging due to the inherent variability in Gen-A

One purpose of academic development work is to ensure university teachers use evidence-based teaching approaches. Academic developers often teach colleagues about the latest teaching approaches and model these to enable teachers to see the use of evidence-based methods in practice, aiming to inspire teachers to adopt similar approaches. Active learning and co-creation are approaches that have been

INTRODUCTION: In Sweden, most older adults continue to age in dwellings they have lived in for many years, with a small proportion relocating. Longitudinal studies examining relocation histories, especially among younger old adults and those beyond frail populations, are scarce. This study aimed to describe individuals who stayed in their homes (stayers) and those who relocated (movers) while iden

Antibiotic persistence arises when a subset of cells in an otherwise susceptible bacterial population temporarily exhibits elevated tolerance to bactericidal antibiotics. While significant progress has been made in elucidating persister mechanisms, much of this research has focused on Gram-negative bacteria, and these findings are not always applicable to Gram-positive species. This study explores

Greta Thunberg has gained increasing attention in global climate politics, in particular since the Fridays for Future movement she initiated in 2018. Attention has also come with criticism, denouncing her for being part of a transnational youth climate elite made up of privileged youth. However, does such an elite really exist, and what does it mean for global climate politics? This article invest

To address the absence of the comprehensive analysis of energy-water-carbon emissions nexus between large-scale economies and different industries and the inability to predict policy impacts across industrial hierarchies, this study develops a novel framework integrating environmentally-extended multi-regional input-output analysis with structural decomposition analysis and policy-driven scenario
