BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular exercise is commonly used in knee injury prevention programs and in rehabilitation following knee injury, and can also be used to address functional impairments is middle-aged and older individuals with knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). CLINICAL QUESTION: What is neuromuscular exercise for OA? Why should clinicians use it? And how? Nine themes of common questions from exe
OBJECTIVES: To compare the implementation of a co-created evidence-based injury prevention intervention with an existing program in youth team handball.DESIGN: Pragmatic two-armed cluster-randomized controlled trial, conducted collaboratively with the Swedish Handball Federation.METHODS: Eighteen clubs offering handball for female and male youth players (aged 12-16 years) were allocated randomly (
Background: After an older person moves into a nursing home, the next of kin often continues to participate in the care provided there. This participation in care may contribute valuable knowledge of the preferences and wishes of the older person, thereby helping nursing staff deliver personalised care. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore how next of kin experience their participatio
Living statues and artificial humans have a long cultural history. They are awe-inspiring because they are entangled with existentialist questions about reality, especially as regards the uncertainty of being. This article explores how humanoid material culture in its different forms was involved in the interaction between myriad human and non-human entities in seventeenth-century Sweden and in thLiving statues and artificial humans have a long cultural history.

Geomatics is a domain that has gained relevance and importance within the field of Architecture and the Built Environment. Typically, Geomatics education in Delft, Lund, Bochum, Leuven, and Zagreb was best characterised as lecture-based: traditional and relatively passive. This has changed fundamentally after March 2020. In this article, we analyse the development towards more active learning and
Radiotherapy treatment for prostate cancer relies on computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for segmentation of target volumes and organs at risk (OARs). Manual segmentation of these volumes is regarded as the gold standard for ground truth in machine learning applications, but to acquire such data is tedious and time-consuming. A publicly available clinical dataset is pr
We explored the impact of different radiotherapy (RT) treatment modalities and prescriptions on outcomes for standard risk pediatric medulloblastoma patients (MB-SR). A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. Primary MB-SR patients, aged 3–21 years treated with cranio-spinal axis and tumor boost RT during 1995–2024 were included. Data on progression-free and overall survival outcomes (
Apple is one of the most important pollinator-dependent fruit crops worldwide. To secure high-quality yields, it is crucial to know which, and to what extent, pollinating insects contribute to its pollination success as measured by fruit set, fruit weight and seed set. We perform a meta-analysis of field studies conducted across multiple orchards on insect-mediated pollination in apple cultivation
Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, globalized markets with intense competition, and generally rising transportation costs emphasize the importance of achieving economically and environmentally sustainable distribution systems. Many international organizations predict that if no new measures are implemented, global carbon dioxide emissions from freight transport will increase to even highe
BackgroundEndostatin is a promising biomarker for predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). We investigated plasma endostatin levels at ICU admission as predictors of new-onset AKI within 48 h after ICU admission, renal replacement therapy (RRT) within 7 days after ICU admission, and 30-day mortality.MethodsA retrospective multicentre study was performed
Text. Images. Audio of Der Rufer for percussion quartet.NOTE: Der RuferDer Rufer, for percussion quartet was written for and dedicated to Olaf Tzschoppe and the Bremer Schlagzeugensemble and is the first result of a planned, long-term collaboration between Lund University/Malmö Academy of Music and the European Spallation Source, a multi-disciplinary research facility based on the world’s most pow
This paper examines the track record of private financial mechanisms aimed at funding conservation of biological diversity. It finds that, due to lack of rigorous and consistent benchmarks and monitoring, these investments may not necessarily safeguard biodiversity and could even, in some cases, have adverse impacts. Further, despite decades of attempts to draw private capital to biodiversity prot
BackgroundPrevious cross-sectional transcriptomics studies on diabetic kidney disease (DKD) kidney tissue have shown correlations between gene expression and both disease status and kidney function at the time of biopsy; however, longitudinal data are scarce.MethodsWe utilized clinical follow-up data up to five years post-biopsy, linking the transcriptomes of diagnostic kidney biopsies to progress
This article describes some of the findings from the ongoing Swedish research project “System Integrity Protection Schemes for added transfer capacity” (SPS4SE). The focus of the SPS4SE project has been to gather knowledge on how System Integrity Protection Schemes (SIPS) can be utilized to support a sustainable development of the Swedish power grid and the Nordic power system.
Today the Unified Glare Rating (UGR) tabular method according to CIE 117-195 and CIE 190-210 is practically the only one used for evaluation of discomfort glare in the lighting design process but it is unknown if the method is in line with the subjective perception of glare (SGI). We investigated whether UGR calculation method currently used in lighting design is in agreement with the perceived di
The interaction between Extreme UltraViolet (XUV) Attosecond Pulse Trains (APT) and matter enables real-time investigation of electron dynamics on their natural time-scale. This is achieved by the addition of a weak InfraRed(IR) field, which probes the ionization process. However, achieving the required temporal and spectral precision for such studies imposes stringent demands on the experimental
IntroductionSwedish statecraft is increasingly utilizing domestic state feminist policy as a means of promoting humanitarian ideals transnationally. One policy that has been promoted by the Swedish government is Sexköpslagen, a first-of-its-kind legal framework that criminalizes the purchase of sex while not criminalizing its sale. As the Swedish government works to export the law transnationally,
