Shrub range expansion, also known as shrubification, across arctic and subarctic ecosystems is expected to increase with climate change, with implications for vegetation structure, biodiversity, and soil carbon dynamics. Previous research has found a shrubification-induced decrease in organic matter stocks from tundra to forest in the organic horizon, prompting further investigation into whether t

Background: Device-aided therapies (DAT) offer alternatives to oral or transdermal dopaminergic treatments in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), where they can reduce motor fluctuations and dyskinesia and improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The 5-2-1 criteria can be seen as a rough indicator when DAT might be considered, that is, when a patient has daily ≥2 hours off and/or ≥1 hour tro

I denna avhandling undersöktes exekutiva funktioner (EF) hos svenska barn och ungdomar. EF definierades som en uppsättning neurokognitiva processer som reglerar kognitiva, emotionella och beteendemässiga aktiviteter, viktiga för målinriktat handlande. EF bedömdes med hjälp av själv-, föräldra- och lärarskattningar av den första och andra upplagan av Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function

Individuals with immigrant background generally perform less well in school than non-immigrants. Performing well in school may decrease the risk of substance use disorder (SUD). We investigated whether higher school performance is associated with a decreased risk of SUD in early adulthood among immigrants and non-immigrants and whether subsequent educational attainment and employment status partly

Samhället behöver utvecklas i en hållbar riktning. Ett sätt att bidra till det är att överflytta motoriserade transporter till hållbara färdmedel, som cykling. För att öka cyklingen spelar infrastrukturen en viktig roll och det behövs cykelvägar av bra kvalitet. Det saknas emellertid kunskap om cykelvägarnas nedbrytning. Den här artikeln ämnar undersöka vilken typ av skador som återfinns på svenskThere is a need to move society in a sustainable direction. One way to contribute to this move is to change to more sustainable transport modes, such as cycling. To increase cycling, the infrastructure is important, and good quality cycle paths are needed. However, little is known about the degradation of cycle paths. This paper aims to investigate what modes of pavement distress are found on muni

An abnormal blood pressure (BP) response on standing is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). The role of physical activity (PA) on orthostatic BP-reactions and its relation to subclinical atherosclerosis is unclear. We aimed to assess the association between PA and orthostatic BP-reactions, and whether PA modifies the relationship between orthostatic BP-reactions and subcl

INTRODUCTION: Ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE) is a common disorder with many associated risk factors. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an established risk factor, but less is known about metabolic risk factors in individuals without diabetes. Our study aimed to explore the association of body mass index (BMI) with UNE during long-term follow-up.METHOD: The population-based cohort study Malmö Diet and Cancer

Background Opioid-related deaths have increased in Western countries over recent decades. Despite numerous studies investigating opioid-related mortality, only a few have focused on the lives of the deceased individuals prior to their deaths, specifically regarding contact with care-providing authorities such as health, social and correctional services. Furthermore, a change has been noted in the
