Bakgrund: Akne är en vanlig hudåkomma, som drabbar många tonåringar. Tonåren innebär en sårbar period i livet, med stora förändringar både psykiskt och fysiskt. Tidigare forskning visar att hudproblem kan få konsekvenser gällande självkänsla och psykiskt mående. Distriktssköterskan kan vara den första som möter tonåringar med akne och har därmed en viktig roll i att förmedla kunskap kring ämnet oc

Glioblastoma is our most common and most fatal primary brain tumor. Although continuous progress in the cancer research-field the prognosis for glioblastoma remains detrimental. Radiotherapy is a corner stone in the treatment arsenal and can induce an immune response, needed to achieve better tumor control. A limitation that remains is the side-effects on healthy tissue. The new implementation of

Det tog många år innan Svenska kyrkan på nationell nivå kunde redovisa statistik om delar av församlingarnas diakonala arbete. Införandet av diakonistatistik har mött motstånd, men flera aktörer samlar också egen statistik vid sidan av den nationella verksamhetsstatistiken.

The Book of Hours of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, V. Duke of Milan (Vienna, Austrian National Library, Codex 1856), the so-called Black Hours, is a Flemish illuminated manuscript with silver and gold ink on black coloured parchment from the third quarter of the fifteenth century. The severe deterioration of the parchment by the black colourant resulted in brittleness and numerous losses. This paper desc

The current literature on resilience shows a trend toward a dynamic process conceptualization, moving away from the previous trait-approach. However, the term “dynamic” is increasingly treated as a buzzword and is thereby oversimplified in the literature. The aim of this article is to develop a unified language pertaining to resilience as a dynamic process, so as to ensure progress in this field.

With the increased interest in lignin valorization, the analytical challenge to separate a complex mixture of a vast number of phenolics has made chromatography an indispensable step in lignin analysis. High-resolution separations, such as gas chromatography, reversed-phase liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography have typically been targeting low-molecular-weight compound

IntroductionResearch evidence suggests that radiographers often rely on previous training, traditional practices, work experience and protocols developed within the department rather than up-to-date research-based evidence in their daily practice. The aim of the study was to investigate factors that might impact the development of evidence-based practice amongst radiographers in clinical public se

Background. Aortic stiffness is a marker of vascular ageing. Non-conventional risk markers reflecting vascular ageing are largely unexplored. We aimed to investigate the relationship between self-perceived age (SPA) and self-rated health (SRH) with aortic stiffness in the general population. Methods. Cross-sectional assessment of 3760 participants from two Swedish population-based cohorts (mean ag

This chapter discusses the legal conceptualization of greenhouse gas emissions from transnational production. Using global value chain theory as our starting point, we show how these emissions can be understood on the level of law through a combination of private governance, regulation and private law doctrine. We propose that this approach provides a useful heuristic tool for identifying, apporti

BackgroundIn a previous phase II trial, intraperitoneal local anaesthetics shortened the time interval between surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, an endpoint associated with improved survival in advanced ovarian cancer. Our objective was to test this in a phase III trial.MethodsA double-blind, phase III parallel superiority trial was conducted at two university hospitals in Sweden, within a public

In this paper, we discuss the ethical concerns that may arise from the synthesis of human DNA. To date, only small stretches of DNA have been constructed, but the prospect of generating human genomes is becoming feasible. At the same time, the significance of genes for identity, health and reproduction is coming under increased scrutiny. We examine the implications of DNA synthesis and its impact

Jämställdhet är en högst relevant aspekt för en mer hållbar transportsektor. Det finns genomgående stora skillnader mellan könen vad gäller såväl resvanor och beteende som attityder och värderingar. Skillnaderna i resvanor är så stora att enbart skillnaderna i bilanvändning skulle minska energianvändningen från transportsektorn med en femtedel om män i genomsnitt reste som kvinnor i genomsnitt. Kl

A permanently available molecular-beam injection setup for controlled molecules (COMO) was installed and commissioned at the small quantum systems (SQS) instrument at the European x-ray free-electron laser (EuXFEL). A b-type electrostatic deflector allows for pure state-, size-, and isomer-selected samples of polar molecules and clusters. The source provides a rotationally cold (T ≈ 1 K) and dense
