Carotid sinus massage (CSM) is essential in evaluating recurrent unexplained reflex syncope, as it uniquely identifies cardioinhibitory forms that other tests may miss. CSM is largely underused in clinical practice outside dedicated syncope facilities and, when performed, its execution varies, as does the interpretation of results. Underuse affects the diagnostic yield of CSM in the syncope evalua

This paper presents PyEtSimul, an open-source Python-based framework for simulating video-based eye trackers by generating synthetic eye features through geometric modeling. The framework allows flexible positioning of eyes, cameras, and light sources in 3D space, with controlled variation of eye anatomical features and camera properties. PyEtSimul generalizes corneal modeling by representing the

This paper explores how pedagogical beliefs are challenged in everyday encounters, particularly when someone in an educational relationship acts unexpectedly. Following Donna Haraway’s notion of tentacular thinking (2016), I examine my relationship with Lyra, a reactive dog, as a site where prior experiences, emotions, and social expectations intertwine. The analysis sits at the intersection of soThis paper explores how pedagogical beliefs are challenged in everyday encounters, particularly when someone in an educational relationship acts unexpectedly.

This paper addresses the question of whether the rise to power of right-wing populist parties has an impact on the political opportunity structures (POS) available for incumbent civil society organizations (CSOs). The elements of POS that are exposed to changes by the right-wing populist parties in power are those that are embedded in governance structures. In this paper we will focus in particula

This paper explores the way in which the relationship between civil society and the state in times of populist governance can be understood from the point of view of Hartmut Rosa’s theory of resonance. We apply Hartmut Rosa’s (2019) theory about a resonant society to understand how the populist turn in politics and state-civil society relations is related to broader societal processes such as acce

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has increased substantially in recent decades. Physical activity is a key component in improving metabolic and overall health in children with obesity. The Swedish Physical Activity on Prescription (PAP) is an established method for promoting physical activity, yet knowledge regarding its applicability and acceptability in paediatric

BACKGROUND: Pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, has demonstrated antidepressant efficacy as an augmentation strategy in unipolar and bipolar depression. However, dopaminergic treatments are associated with impulse control disorders, including gambling disorder, and evidence regarding behavioural risks in psychiatric populations remains limited.METHODS: We conducted a nationwide register-based cohort

Standardized Care Pathway (SCP) for patients presenting with macroscopic haematuria was introduced in Sweden in 2015. In contrast to neighbouring countries, the Swedish model includes all patients with macroscopic haematuria above the age of 50, notwithstanding obvious causes. The aim of this study was to characterize the patients referred within the SCP and the presence of acute cystitis.All pati

This paper examines how expanding the legal definition of sexual assault affects fertility and sexual behavior, using a panel of European countries. I find that switching to tacit consent-based legislation reduces fertility by about 4% relative to the mean. This effect is driven by a decrease in couple formation and an increase in abortion rates. Supporting evidence is consistent with a behavioralThis paper examines how expanding the legal definition of sexual assault affects fertility and sexual behavior, using a panel of European countries.

This open access book asks whether international economic crime can qualify as an international crime and be prosecuted as such.Taking a four-part approach to the question, it traces the origins of the concept of international economic crime, and draws the line between ordinary economic crimes and economic offences of international significance. To this end, it examines six cases involving the com

Arbetsgivare är skyldiga att undersöka risker för diskriminering och hinder för lika rättigheter och därefter vidta aktiva förebyggande åtgärder. Samtidigt är hbtq-personer ofta utsatta för diskriminering på sina arbetsplatser. I den här artikeln syntetiseras resultat från forskningsprojektet “[anonymiserat]” i en analys som tar avstamp i diskrimineringslagens krav. Resultaten visar att hbtq-perso

Previous research has reported mental health disparities between truant and non-truant adolescents. However, it remains unclear how social support is associated with mental health outcomes across different levels of truancy. We investigate whether social support has similar mental health benefits for all truant adolescents or whether it plays a buffering/moderating role when truancy becomes persis
