Rural populations in Europe face health inequalities due to a multitude of factors, including the higher prevalence of multi-morbidity, inadequate access to primary and secondary health care services, and widespread health workforce shortages. Although some challenges are also present in other contexts, the multitude and interconnectedness of these factors induce significant health inequalities. R

Since its inception in 1998, the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (https://cdli.earth) has become the global authority index for inscribed artifacts of the cuneiform world, providing an essential reference for a corpus of half a million historical documents that form an important part of the world’s written heritage. The CDLI infrastructure is now foundational to the study of the history of th

Background. Adults with intellectual disability (ID) experience marked mental health inequities, yet population-wide estimates that capture both primary- and specialist-care diagnoses remain scarce. Methods. Using nationwide Swedish registries, including primary care, specialist, inpatient, prescription drug, criminal, and suspicion registers, we included all individuals born in Sweden between 195

Bakgrund: Isoleringsvård innebär att patienten vårdas på ett sätt som begränsar smittspridningen. Trots frekvent användning av isoleringsvård inom slutenvården behövs ytterligare forskning om patienternas egna erfarenheter. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters erfarenheter av isoleringsvård på slutenvårdsavdelning vid smittsamma sjukdomar. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en icke-systematisk litteraturs

Covid-19 pandemin medförde många utmaningar och nya upplevelser för sjuksköterskor. Syftet med studien var att sammanställa och belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att ge omvårdnad under Covid-19 pandemin inom slutenvården. Föreliggande studie är en icke-systematisk litteraturstudie med en induktiv ansats som är baserad på elva vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet består av två huvudteman, att mis

Bakgrund: Hbtqia+ personer är överrepresenterade i statistiken för partnervåld, trots detta saknas kunskap vilket kan leda till att personer inte identifieras som våldsutsatta. Syfte: Att belysa psykiska hälsokonsekvenser av partnervåld hos hbtqia+ personer. Metod: Icke-systematisk litteraturstudie med induktiv ansats. Artiklar har sökts i databaserna Cinahl och Psycinfo vilket resulterade i elva

Våld i nära relationer är ett omfattande hälsoproblem där kvinnor är starkt överrepresenterade i gruppen av våldsutsatta patienter. Syftet var att beskriva vilka erfarenheter kvinnor, som utsatts för våld i nära relationer, har inför att söka och möta hälso- och sjukvård. Studien är en icke-systematisk litteraturstudie med åtta vetenskapliga studier. Resultatet består av två huvudtema och sju subt

Bakgrund: Anorexia nervosa och bulimia nervosa är ätstörningar som ofta kräver specialiserad psykiatrisk vård. I Sverige uppges vården vara tämligen god och sjuksköterskor utgör en viktig roll. Trots det är forskningsstödet kring ätstörningar bristande och det finns skilda upplevelser av att omvårda personer med ätstörningar. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser vid omvårdnad av persone

Bakgrund: Globalt drabbas omkring 400 000 barn av cancer varje år. Prognosen är i många fall god, men behandlingsregimen är ofta intensiv. Cancerdiagnosen innebar en omvälvande livssituation för föräldrarna, med en påverkan på deras tillvaro och hälsa. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att belysa föräldrars erfarenhet när deras barn drabbats av cancer. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en icke-systematisk li

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with neuroinflammation and microglial dysregulation. Galectin-3 (gal-3), a β-galactoside-binding protein expressed in microglia, has been identified as an upstream regulator of neuroinflammatory responses and is increasingly recognized as a potential therapeutic target in AD. This Master’s thesis focuses on the design

Old-growth forests uniquely support biodiversity while serving as some of the planet's most important carbon stocks. The influence of tree and stand age on carbon flux dynamics remains debated—an urgent question as climate-driven disturbances may reshape forest age structures and in situ carbon storage. To clarify these relationships in Fagus sylvatica , systems, we examined a unique dataset of 3,

Time-interleaved ADCs are a key building block in mm-wave receivers, where the use of multi-GHz signal bandwidths requires high-performance wide-band data conversion. It is therefore necessary to explore the beamforming receiver system impact of different time-interleaved ADC parameters and limitations, such as number of interleaved channels, mismatches between channels, non-idealities of the subA

As immersive technologies expand in education, a gap persists between teachers’ familiarity with virtual reality (VR) tools and effective pedagogical use. This study designed, implemented, and evaluated a 60-h VR Trainer Training Program using Educational Design Research (EDR) and the Taba-Tyler curriculum model. Sixteen teachers participated in a needs analysis, followed by 42 in-service teachers

Syphilis has re-emerged as a public health threat during the 21st century, and updated knowledge of the epidemic and its drivers is needed to halt this worrying development. We present data on the incidence of syphilis in the south Swedish region Skåne from 2007 to 2022 to determine the burden of disease, changes in risk groups, as well as routes for testing. To get a picture of the burden of syph

Background: Late effects of polio (LEoP) is a progressive condition leading to a lifelong disability that can affect mental health. There is limited knowledge of depressive symptoms and associated factors in people with LEoP. Objective: To assess the occurrence of depressive symptoms in people with LEoP and explore the association with sociodemographic and disability-related factors. Design: Cross

Background: Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is a marker of adverse outcomes in heart failure (HF). We used a 5-point RVD score to describe three phenotypes (preserved RV function, RVD and RV failure) and investigated their relationhip with cardiac function and their contribution to risk stratification. Methods: Patients (n = 201) with HF, undergoing right heart catheterization and echocardiogr

The exponential rise in atmospheric CO₂ driven by human activities is accelerating climate change and causing ocean acidification (OA). While the effects of elevated CO₂ on a wide range of marine species have been well documented, the implications of OA for bivalve aquaculture have received comparatively little attention. Using a multi-level meta-analytical approach, we evaluated the impacts of tw

Traditional data sources on bushfire evacuation behaviour, such as quantitative surveys and manual observations have severe limitations. Mining social media data related to bushfire evacuations promises to close this gap by allowing the collection and processing of a large amount of behavioural data, which are low-cost, accurate, possibly including location information and rich contextual informat

Introduction Autistic persons experience problems with movements and body awareness in everyday functionality, expressed in affected movement quality. Yet, there is a knowledge gap about the effects of interventions targeting these aspects in autistic persons. Objective To evaluate effects of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) and treatment-as-usual (TAU), compared to TAU alone on movement qualit
