Project report from Region Skåne, investigating how to improve evaluations of healthcare quality and equity in Region Skåne. Project duration 2022-2024.

Almost half of all divorced Swedes are aged 60+ and many of them are, or have been, part of a reconstituted family. This increases the probability of having (or to be a) bonus/step-grandchild and raises the question: How does the caregiving dynamic between bonus-grandparents and bonus-grandchildren intersect with gender and life situation, unraveling the intricate threads that weave through familiAlmost half of all divorced Swedes are aged 60+ and many of them are, or have been, part of a reconstituted family.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by severe degeneration of dopamine (DA) neurons innervating the striatum. Spiny projection neurons (SPNs), are the principal type of striatal neuron and belong to either of two classes: the D2 receptor-positive indirect pathway SPNs (iSPNs) and the D1 receptor-positive direct pathway SPNs (dSPNs). The thesis aims at investigating dynamic changes of SPNs an

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a persistent and ascensive global threat influenced by antibiotic misuse and overuse. In the Romanian context, patterns of antibiotic consumption and resistance within the healthcare system are marked in the red scenario on the European map. General practitioners and pharmacists, among others, play a major role in stewardship towards AMR.Aim:

AIMS: Impaired left ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) has been shown to correlate with worse prognosis in cardiac diseases and heart failure (HF). The extent of the relationship between VAC and circulating biomarkers associated with HF has been scarcely documented. We aimed to explore associations of VAC with proteins involved in HF pathophysiology within a large population-based cohort of middl

BACKGROUND: Despite the detrimental impact of abnormal glucose metabolism on cardiovascular prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI), diabetes is both underdiagnosed and undertreated. We investigated associations between structured diabetes care routines in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and detection and treatment of diabetes at one-year post-MI.METHODS: Center-level data was derived from the Perf

Idag är kvinnorna fler än männen på juristutbildningarna och nästan sju av tio antagna till domarutbildningen är kvinnor. De kvinnliga juristerna är i majoritet inom flera juridiska yrken, för hundra år sedan var situationen en helt annan. Från 1870-talet fick kvinnor lov att studera juridik på universiteten, men det var svårt för dem att hitta arbete efter examen. Hindren i deras väg fanns både i

Academic journals, archives, and repositories are seeing an increasing number of questionable research papers clearly produced using generative AI. They are often created with widely available, general-purpose AI applications, most likely ChatGPT, and mimic scientific writing. Google Scholar easily locates and lists these questionable papers alongside reputable, quality-controlled research. Our an

BIRDS THAT SPEND the winter in a harsh and cold climate face a suite of challenges that require optimization of energy expenditure and energy intake. Some birds roost communally, which can increase energy savings during cold winter nights. However, this behaviour is almost completely absent in chickadees, tits, and titmice (Paridae) as there are very few accounts in the literature of parids roosti

INTRODUCTION: The recent introduction of seed amplification assays (SAAs) detecting misfolded α-synuclein, a pathology-specific marker for Lewy body disease (LBD), has allowed the in vivo identification and phenotypic characterization of patients with co-occurring Alzheimer's disease (AD) and LBD since the early clinical or even preclinical stage. METHODS: We reviewed studies with an in vivo bioma

For young people, a first encounter with criminal justice can have lasting effects. While perceptions of equitable treatment can generate feelings of belongingness and acceptance, treatment perceived as unfair or prejudicial can generate experiences of dissonance and exclusion. However, little research has examined young people’s appraisals of justice system encounters. The purpose of the study wa

High performance powder-based Ni-based superalloys exhibit exceptional in-service properties at elevated temperature, however this leads to reduced machinability and the potential for significant machining induced damage. Field assisted sintering technology (FAST) is capable of consolidating powder rapidly and efficiently, allowing for precise control of the microstructure via the dissolution of s

Background: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is thought to be associated with considerable suicide risk. This nationwide cohort study quantified the risks of intentional self-harm—including nonsuicidal self-injuries and suicide attempts—and death by suicide in BDD. Methods: Individuals with a validated ICD-10 diagnosis of BDD in the Swedish National Patient Register, registered between January 1, 19

We extend and strengthen a theorem of Bates that says that row-finite graphs that are strong shift equivalent have Morita equivalent graph C*-algebras. This allows us to ask whether our stronger notion of Morita equivalence does in fact characterise strong shift equivalence. We believe this will be relevant for future research on infinite graphs and their C*-algebras. We also study in-splits and o

Measured ice crystal concentrations in natural clouds at modest supercooling (temperature ~>−10°C) are often orders of magnitude greater than the number concentration of primary ice nucleating particles. Therefore, it has long been proposed that a secondary ice production process must exist that is able to rapidly enhance the number concentration of the ice population following initial primary ice
