During the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), mitigation policies for children have been a topic of considerable uncertainty and debate. Although some children have co-morbidities which increase their risk for severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and complications such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome and long COVID, most children only get mild C
The present paper investigates the impact of different water penetration criteria on the risk for damage in a common type of building envelope in Nordic countries, timber frame walls with brick masonry veneer. The studied walls are evaluated based on one damage criterion, the risk of mold growth. The study investigates several parameters: water penetration criterion, type of moisture source (unifo
BACKGROUND: Partial nitritation-anammox (PNA) is a biological nitrogen removal process commonly used in wastewater treatment plants for the treatment of warm and nitrogen-rich sludge liquor from anaerobic digestion, often referred to as sidestream wastewater. In these systems, biofilms are frequently used to retain biomass with aerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anammox bacteria, which t
Background: The registry-based randomized VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART trial (NCT02311231) compared bivalirudin vs. heparin in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for myocardial infarction (MI). It showed no difference in the composite primary endpoint of death, MI, or major bleeding at 180 days. Here, we report outcomes at two years. Methods: Analysis of primary and secondary endp
Between weeks 40 2020 and 8 2021, the World Health Organization European Region experienced a 99.8% reduction in sentinel influenza virus positive detections (33/25,606 tested; 0.1%) relative to an average of 14,966/39,407 (38.0%; p < 0.001) over the same time in the previous six seasons. COVID-19 pandemic public health and physical distancing measures may have extinguished the 2020/21 European se
IMPORTANCE: The outcomes of newborn infants of women testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate neonatal outcomes in relation to maternal SARS-CoV-2 test positivity in pregnancy.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Nationwide, prospective cohort study based on linkage of the Swedish Pregnancy Register, the Neonatal Quality Register, and the Register for Communicab
Det oumbärliga klassrummet – en framställning på kognitionsvetenskaplig grund är en bok med grundskolans klassrum, elever och lärare i fokus. Det är också en bok om vilka former av kunnande som är nödvändiga att en ung människa får med sig från skolan.Framställningen har kognitionsvetenskaplig grund och förhåller sig genomgående till grundskolans syfte: att stödja barn och unga i deras vuxenblivan
Folkskolereformen 1842. De flesta kunde lära tidigare men inte skriva. Folkskolans införande visade att staten tog ansvar för en folkundervisning som omfattade alla barn. Dock fanns parallella skolstydem till mitten av 1900-talet, beroende på social klasstillhörighet.
Since 2010,there has been enormous social and political hype around artificial intelligence (‘AI’) and how it has, and will, continue to impact society. This is not just puffery, and there is growing recognition across a range of fields that there is an urgent need to further explore the use, scope and impact of AI in relation to digital forms of citizenship and the datafication of societies. Conc
Objective: To investigate the association of different aspects of cognitive impairment, depression and anxiety with walking difficulties in daily life in persons with mild PD.Background: Walking difficulties in daily life are common among persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and may cause falls and near falls, limitations in activity, restrictions in participation and decrease in quality of life.
Objective: To investigate whether tandem gait test (TG) can predict future falls and/or near falls in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: People with PD have balance problems and an increased risk for falls. Although TG has been considered a predictor of falls, no PD-study has controlled results for demographic and disease-specific characteristics or included near falls when investig

Although high-level evidence is currently lacking, noninferiority randomised controlled trials in predefined risk groups in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer are under way to scientifically prove the safety of urinary biomarker-guided follow-up. To facilitate recommendations for clinical use, it is essential to comply with the EU certification for in vitro diagnostics and to demonstrate cost effe
The study aimed to investigate if primary health care centers (PHCCs) offering nurse-managed hypertensive care differ from PHCCs with other types of hypertension care regarding blood pressure levels and other key indicators. In this cross-sectional study of the hypertension care given in PHCCs in Stockholm County (now called Region Stockholm), we included all 227 PHCCs in the region. To assess the
Cheaper and more sustainable batteries are key to decarbonize the global energy system, and sodium-ion batteries that use far fewer critical materials are an important option. Research now shows that rapidly improving techno-economics of sodium-ion batteries could soon make them competitive with lithium-ion phosphate batteries under a range of scenarios.
In the Comment by Goletti et al. [Phys. Rev. B 111, 117301 (2025)10.1103/PhysRevB.111.117301], concerns are raised regarding the interpretation of our experimental findings, as well as the application of basic ground-state density functional theory (DFT) models pertaining to the C(111)-(2×1) surface presented in our earlier publication [Reed et al., Phys. Rev. B 105, 205304 (2022)2469-995010.1103/
