The workplace is an important part of many people's lives. Many transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals have negativeexperiences of their workplace due to discrimination and cisnormativity. Whether or not to be open about TGD experiences, andthe degree of openness, is something many TGD individuals struggle with at work. Openness is related to well-being and job satis-faction and is there

According to a localist theory of event semantics, event types such as state changes and realisation of actions are based on motion events, which are taken to be the primary type of event. The present paper investigates some claims of this theory, their consequences and conceptual foundations. It argues that the theory suffers from two flaws. First, the theory proposes parallels between event type

In the midst of growing research and societal discourse on psychedelic substances, a consistent finding is reported: A majority of users report profound personal meaning from their experiences. This pioneering study in Sweden, a nation renowned for its strict drug policies, sought to quantify the extent of reported meaningfulness among Swedish psychedelic users. Results revealed that a majority of

Background and objective The Scania Accelerated Intermittent Theta-burst Implementation Study (SATIS) aimed to investigate the tolerability, preliminary effectiveness, and practical feasibility of an accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aTBS) protocol in treating depression. Methods We used an open-label observational design, recruiting 20 patients (aged 19–84 years) from two public b

Background: Existing research has shown that those ageing with severe mental illness face significant challenges in daily life. Attendance at community-based day centres (DCs) is offered to support daily structure and break isolation. However, little is known about the experiences of those receiving this type of support while transitioning into retirement age. Aim: To explore experiences of everyd

Environmental changes over time and across different regions profoundly affect agriculture, forestry, water management, public health, and ecosystems. Therefore, monitoring these fluctuations is crucial for informing decision-making and developing strategies for long-term sustainability. While ground-based methods provide valuable insights into environmental dynamics, they are inherently limited i

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses the association between metabolic syndrome and breast cancer (BC) outcomes in BC survivors. Methods: Systematic searches were carried out in PubMed and Embase using variations of the search terms: breast neoplasms (population), metabolic syndrome (exposure), and survival (outcome). Metabolic syndrome was characterized according to the A

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a common complaint in the general population and is associated with cardiovascular disease and increased mortality. We aimed to investigate whether sleep duration is related to excessive daytime sleepiness in the general population, both in itself and in combination with other factors. We performed a cross-sectional analysis in the population-based Swedish CAr

Purpose: To investigate if hip and knee alignment assessed 2 years after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is associated with compartment-specific radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) 3 years later. Methods: An exploratory analysis was conducted in the knee ACL, nonsurgical versus surgical treatment (KANON) trial (ISRCTN84752559); 115 subjects with acute ACL injury were assessed at the 2-ye

Dune slacks are biodiverse seasonal wetlands within sand dune systems, strongly influenced by the dynamics of the local groundwater regime. Future climate predictions indicate strong adverse impact on the hydrology and therefore ecology of these wetland ecosystems. In this study we aimed to find the most appropriate hydrological and ecological indicators to summarise dune slack plant community res

Herein, a model is developed to study the polarization-selective light-coupling in quantum well infrared photodetector arrays with 15 and 30 μm pixel pitch. The polarization-selective light-coupling is achieved using 1D lamella gratings with varying grating orientation and studied through 2D and 3D finite-element method simulations. The extracted absorption quantum efficiency ηabs, derived from th

Background/Objectives: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is life-threatening and difficult to diagnose in time. Unlike many cardiovascular diseases, the association between lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol consumption, and physical activity and AMI is unknown. Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study with 28,098 middle-aged participants with a mean follow-up time of 23.1 years. Basel

Even though the one-dimensional contact interaction requires no regularization, renormalization methods have been shown to improve the convergence of numerical calculations considerably. In this work, we compare and contrast these methods: "the running coupling constant"where the two-body ground-state energy is used as a renormalization condition, and two effective interaction approaches that incl

Transit spectroscopy usually relies on the integration of one or several transits to achieve the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) necessary to resolve spectral features. Consequently, high-S/N observations of exoplanet atmospheres, where we can forgo integration, are essential for disentangling the complex chemistry and dynamics beyond global trends. In this study, we combined two partial 4-UT transits

One of the outstanding goals of the planetary science community is to measure the present-day atmospheric composition of planets and link this back to formation. As giant planets are formed by accreting gas, ices, and rocks, constraining the relative amounts of these components is critical to understand their formation and evolution. For most known planets, including the solar system giants, this

The ferroelectric domain structure of a freestanding BiFeO3 film was visualized by ptychographic dichroic imaging with linearly polarized x-rays at the O K-edge around 530 eV. The dichroic contrast is maximized at the energy of the hybridization of the O 2p state and the Fe 3d orbitals, which is split by the octahedral crystal field of the perovskite structure. The microscopy images thus obtained

Background/Aim: An inverse association exists between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and both plasma vitamin D levels and sun exposure, but vitamin D supplementation does not reduce the incidence. We sought to assess whether there is a dose-dependency in the association between sun exposure and T2DM. Patients and Methods: The melanoma in Southern Sweden (MISS) cohort is comprised of one thousand

Bone strength is a major contributor to fracture risk. Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) obtained from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used as a surrogate for bone strength in fracture risk prediction. 3D finite element (FE) models predict bone strength better than aBMD but need 3D computed tomography and are not automated. We have earlier developed a method to automatically reconstruct

Offentliga försäkringar kan göra äktenskap mindre sannolik, men för vem? Med hjälp av American Community Survey finner vi att en ökad sannolikhet att vara berättigad till offentlig hälsoförsäkring på grund av lagförändringar minskar giftermålsfrekvensen, särskilt bland personer med högre utbildningsnivåer. Vi utvecklar en sökmodell av äktenskapsmarknaden som visar att de med ett högt förväntat ekoPublic insurance may disincentivize marriage, but for whom? Using the American Community Survey, we find that an increased likelihood of Medicaid eligibility owing to the Affordable Care Act reduces marriage rates, particularly among people with higher education levels. We develop a search model of the marriage market that shows that those with a high expected financial surplus from marriage respo
