Bygg- och fastighetsbranschen är en av EU:s största konsumenter av naturresurser och producenter av avfall vilket gör en skyndsam omställning till ett mer cirkulärt byggande högst nödvändig. För att lyckas krävs en grundläggande förändring av produkt- och materialflöden i branschen, med fokus på att förebygga avfall, minska uttaget av naturresurser och förlänga produkters livslängd.Återbruk av bygThe construction industry remains one of the largest contributors to resource consumption and waste generation in the EU, making the transition to circular construction both urgent and essential. However, the transition towards a circular construction and real estate industry requires a fundamental shift in material flows, prioritising waste prevention, reducing extraction of natural resources, an

BACKGROUND: Most COVID-19-related deaths and hospitalisations occurred among older people. Natural outdoor environments influence health outcomes, but the evidence of their effect on COVID-19 outcomes among older adults is limited. This study aimed to investigate associations between residential natural outdoor environment and COVID-19-related deaths or hospitalisations among community dwellers ag

Policymaking around educational technology (ed-tech) is increasingly influenced by networks of public and private actors ranging from Big Tech corporations and international organisations through to ed-tech evidence brokers and consultants. This paper considers a relatively unexplored facet of contemporary ed-tech policy work – public-facing (ex)teachers advocating for technological change through

BackgroundThe use of single-use laryngeal masks has increased in recent decades; yet, their climate and environmental impacts remain poorly understood. This study aimed to compare the climate impacts of reusable and single-use laryngeal masks.MethodsWe conducted a life cycle assessment that compared the reusable Ambu Aura40 with the single-use Ambu AuraStraight and Intersurgical Igel+ laryngeal ma

BACKGROUND: The implementation of COVID-19 vaccination among older persons at nursing homes has lowered the infection-associated mortality considerably, but emerging virus variants and decline in vaccine-induced immunity over time necessitate examination of future booster dosing strategies. The overall aim of this study was to assess vaccine protection against COVID-19 mortality in relation to tim

Background In several countries, whole-body imaging has been introduced in the routine follow-up of individuals with high-risk cutaneous malignant melanoma after surgery. However, there is scarce evidence that earlier detection of recurrent disease by regular scanning improves survival. In this interim analysis, we investigated whether imaging in the follow-up programme for high-risk cutaneous mal

Objective To examine hospital discharge practices, including clinical and laboratory assessments, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) following their first hospitalisation for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and to explore the association of these practices with adverse events, defined as hospital readmission, emergency department visits and mortality. Design Retrospective cohort study.

Urban water systems are facing growing challenges, including climate change and aging assets. Digital transformation presents opportunities to address these issues. However, water utilities often encounter barriers such as fragmented initiatives, organizational inertia, and lack of systems interoperability, limiting the scalability and impact of digitalization efforts. This paper presents a strate

Background Recent decades have witnessed tangible improvements in childhood cancer survival. However, the prognosis for children with congenital heart disease (CHD), the most prevalent birth defect, remains unclear. Due to improved survival of CHD and childhood cancer, evaluating outcomes within this intersection is important for clinical practice. We aimed to assess mortality post-cancer diagnosi

Objective The aim of this study was to explore why patients with hard-to-heal ulcers are treated without an aetiological diagnosis, using a grounded theory approach. Design The study employed a qualitative semistructured interview design to gain in-depth insights. Data were collected in 2024, and an explanatory model was formed in accordance with grounded theory analysis. Setting Interviews were c

Objective A delayed diagnosis of pituitary adenomas (PAs) can lead to increased morbidity and reduced quality of life. The aim was to estimate diagnostic delay and investigate the concordance between patient-reported symptoms and the medical record documentation in patients with PA. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Seven university hospitals. Participants 654 patients: non-functioning PA (NFP

The size of the pension payments is a result of how well the pension capital has been invested by the life insurance company. The laws for how much of the pension capital the life insurance companies are able to invest, and how much they need to keep as capital requirement, are under investigation. This is regulated by the risk measure value at risk. Finansinspektionen has released a test report,

I den här studien karakteriseras fenomenet anaerob korrosion utifrån både litteraturstudier om korrosionsprocesser och korrosionsprodukter samt genom undersökning av fältprover från betongkonstruktioner i salthaltiga undervattensmiljöer i södra Sverige. Anaerob korrosion av armering i vattenmättad betong är ett omfattande men hittills relativt ouppmärksammat problem. Detta fenomen kan leda till al

I Hanöbukten utanför Haväng i sydöstra Skåne finns välbevarade undervattenslämningar från ett mesolitiskt landskap med rester av träd och sediment avsatta i å- och lagunmiljö. Arkeologiska fynd av bland annat stationära fiskeredskap och en hackyxa av horn har gjorts. Landskapet formades under lågvattenperioderna under Yoldiahavet (11 700-10 800 cal BP) och Littorinahavets första fas (9800-8500 cal

Today, English is the most studied second language, being used in academia, international relations, social forums and mainstream entertainment, resulting in English becoming a common topic of research in the study of second language acquisition. One particularly interesting form of entertainment is the hobby of online digital gaming as English has become the de facto language used in absence of a

Implementation in public organizations is a complicated process. Previous research has shown that neither a top-down or bottom-up perspective is sufficient to explain why certain implementations succeed and others fail. Alternative models that take the complexity of implementation processes into account by among other things allowing for the interaction between both horizontal and vertical levels
