This thesis aimed to investigate possibilities to utilize death certificates in cancer epidemiology by analyzing nationwide databases from Sweden. Excessive information is available when investigating causes of death in cancer patients, including comorbidities and metastatic patterns. We used the Swedish Family- Cancer Database, which includes data from e.g. the Cause of Death Register and the Can
We report a genome-wide association study for melanoma that was conducted by the GenoMEL Consortium. Our discovery phase included 2,981 individuals with melanoma and 1,982 study-specific control individuals of European ancestry, as well as an additional 6,426 control subjects from French or British populations, all of whom were genotyped for 317,000 or 610,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs
Skeletal muscle is a dynamic tissue with a remarkable ability to continuously respond to environmental stimuli. Among its adaptive responses is the widely investigated ability of skeletal muscle to regenerate after loading or injury or both. Although significant basic science efforts have been dedicated to better understand the underlying mechanism controlling skeletal muscle regeneration, there h
The collective wobbling mode, the strongest signature for the rotation of a triaxial nucleus, has previously been seen only in a few Lu isotopes in spite of extensive searches in nearby isotopes. A sequence of transitions in the N = 94 Ta-167 nucleus exhibiting features similar to those attributed to the wobbling bands in the Lu nuclei has now been found. This band feeds into the pi i(13/2) band a
The proportion of hand injuries in Swedish children is the second highest in relation to other parts of the body. The incidence of hand injuries in these children has not yet been estimated. In addition, aetiologies, injury patterns and costs among Swedish children have not been presented on a regional or national level. Also, very few studies have focused on hand injuries within specific ages for
Recent studies on young men from the general population have demonstrated geographic and ethnic differences in semen quality. The aim of this study was to investigate whether reported ethnic differences in semen quality might be associated with the maternally derived CAG and GGN polymorphisms in the androgen receptor gene or paternal ethnicity. In total 114 military conscripts from Latvia were inc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Biologiska organismer har en fantastisk förmåga att anpassa sig till alla möjliga miljöer. Människans aktiviteter på jorden har skapat många nya habitat för olika typer av organismer; t ex kan vissa organismer växa på sten och vertikala klippor och när människor bygger hus så kan dessa organismer flytta över till väggar och tak som blir nya biotoper att leva på. Några aBiological organisms have an incredible ability to adapt to almost any environment and the humans activities on earth have created many new habitats for different kinds of organisms. For example can certain organisms grow on rocks and vertical cliffs, and when humans started building houses with mineral based façades, some organisms found that these were new habitats to live on. Some of these expa
A measurement of event shape variables is presented for large momentum transfer proton-proton collisions using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Six event shape variables calculated using hadronic jets are studied in inclusive multi-jet events in 35 pb(-1) of integrated luminosity at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 7 TeV. These measurements are compared to predictions by three M
Aims: Our aim was to investigate the psychometric properties of the health assessment instrument EQ-5D-5L in OHCA survivors.Methods: We included survivors from the Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after OHCA (TTM2) trial, who completed EQ-5D-5L at 6 months. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the hypothesised unidimensional latent structure of EQ level sum score (EQ Aims: Our aim was to investigate the psychometric properties of the health assessment instrument EQ-5D-5L in OHCA survivors.Methods: We included survivors from the Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after OHCA (TTM2) trial, who completed EQ-5D-5L at 6 months.

Protests against various transition projects, including both infrastructure and policy changes, are not uncommon and have been observed in diverse contexts. However, protests specifically against Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) implementation remain understudied. This study examines the local media debate surrounding a BRT project in Örebro, Sweden, with a focus on how proponents and opponents use argumen
In Westerhus on the island of Frösö in Jämtland the childhood was a stressful period with high mortality. In this study the living conditions of the children are discussed on the basis of the age distribution of infants, the prevalence of enamel hypoplasia and the tooth size of deciduous and permanent teeth. Gejvall’s age distribution of infants dying in the neonatal and the postneonatal periods w
This article presents a taxonomy of altered states of consciousness, primarily based on their central phenomenological features. Following taxonomic principles and a modified Delphi methodology, a multidisciplinary, international group identified eight distinct phenomenological/behavioral states (some with subcategories): proto and transitional, delirium, minimal to no awareness, experiential deta
Solar drying technologies have emerged as efficient and user-friendly solutions for food drying processes, particularly in regions with limited access to electricity and high post-harvest losses. These technologies offer a sustainable alternative to conventional drying methods. However, one of the key challenges limiting their effectiveness is the non-homogeneous airflow inside the drying chamber,
This work presents a new approach to the autotuning strategy for controlling pH in raceway reactors, based on classical relay-based autotuning principles. A relay applied to reference method is proposed that allows seamless integration into existing control loops without the need for manual recalibration across seasons or operator intervention. Two different models were identified: first-order wit
The recycling and reuse of trace uranium from spent nuclear fuel is of great significance for the safety management of the nuclear fuel cycle. However, stabilization of low-valent uranium has always been a challenge due to the ultraoxidizable nature of uranium ions, which remains relatively uncharted territory in spent fuel treatment. In the current study, U4+ was immobilized in Cs2UCl6 single cry
This report examines the evolving political discourse in Ireland in the lead-up to the 2024 local, general and European elections, focusing on the potential rise of far-right populism. Traditionally dominated by centrist parties, and with an increasingly progressive trajectory of referendums, Ireland has long been viewed as an exception to the European trend of far-right mobilisation. However, rec
