Background and Aim According to Swedish law, employers should take active measures to promote equal opportunities and hinder discrimination. To understand how this can be done effectively, more research is needed. However, few studies in Sweden have explored the work experiences and needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees, which was the aim of the 3-year research

Priskampanjer är ett av marknadsföringens mest attraktiva verktyg eftersom de ofta ger snabb, synlig och lättmätbar effekt. Samtidigt är de strategiskt riskfyllda. Denna rapport sammanfattar forskningsläget kring relationen mellan priskampanjer, varumärkeskapital och långsiktig lönsamhet. Utgångspunkten är ett centralt dilemma: samma åtgärd som kan öka försäljningen på kort sikt kan också förändra

The Colombian Caribbean, especially La Guajira, faces critical climate challenges such as extreme heat, droughts, and water scarcity, which affect water, social, health, and food security. The Wayúu people experience these conditions amid socioeconomic inequalities, lack of resources, health risks, and restricted mobility. The book emphasizes that the Wayúu territory transcends geography: it is bo

Turbulent emulsification devices are used in many applications of chemical engineering. There is large need to predict the drop sizes resulting from such devices, for example in the context of designing new devices, modifying current design, or adapting designs to new products. The Kolmogorov-Hinze framework is the most used approach, much due to its simplicity and flexibility. However, there is n

We study the relationship between the structural transformation of the economy and theincome distribution, focusing on the case of Sweden from 1870 to 1970, with extra attentionpaid to the 1870–1950 period, for which we produce extensive new data. Average incomeincreased fivefold between 1870 and 1950, and the share employed in agriculture declinedfrom 72 to 23 per cent. To study the evolution of

SUMMARYThe transcriptional regulator NrdR is present in most bacteria and in some archaea, but is lacking in eukaryotes. It controls the expression of operons of the universal and essential ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) enzymes, which provide building blocks of DNA by reducing ribonucleotides to their corresponding deoxyribonucleotides. The NrdR protein consists of an N-terminal zinc-ribbon domai

Histologically stained tissue sections are considered the gold standard for studying microscopic anatomy and diagnosing disease in clinical practice. However, the processes of sectioning and staining are laborious, and the overall method relies on two-dimensional analysis. In contrast, X-ray-based virtual histology offers the advantage of virtual sectioning while retaining the full three-dimension

BACKGROUND: Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are reported to have decreased bone mineral density (BMD).PURPOSE: Is premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) an important risk factor for low BMD in CCS at long term follow-up?PATIENTS AND METHODS: Altogether 167 female CCS, median age 34 (19-57) years, treated for childhood cancer under age 18 years between 1964 and 2008, with a follow-up time of 25 (12

OBJECTIVE: Bacteria present on extracted bone flaps during decompressive craniectomy inhibit bone flap reimplantation. An adapted treatment with antibiotic mixture for decontamination of allografts could be used in neurosurgery for preparation of bone flaps for autologous cranioplasty.METHODS: Eleven bone flaps were analysed using standardised bacterial cultures and droplet digital Polymerase Chai

Background: Dietary management of phenylketonuria (PKU) focuses on restricting phenylalanine (Phe) intake. The European PKU guidelines and the PKU Dietary Handbook recommend a simplified PKU diet, allowing unrestricted consumption of many low-Phe foods, called free foods. While this approach may reduce the treatment burden for patients, its implementation varies. This study investigated practi

A model was developed to calculate shoreline retreat due to sea level rise applicable for coastal areas with complex topography, varying wave and sediment conditions, and limited material supply. As a test case, the model was employed to the south Swedish coast to demonstrate the possibility to investigate large geographical areas using readily available input data. Equilibrium profiles of differe

Background: Evidence-based radiography (EBR) is one of the cornerstones of modern Radiography. The integration of EBR into clinical practice remains challenging, and radiology nurses (RNs) often face barriers due to time constraints, production demands, and limited research tradition within their professions. Objective: The objective was to explore how experienced RNs conceptualize EBR before, dur

BACKGROUND: Trace elements like iodine have been suggested to be associated with breast cancer due to their antioxidant properties and ecological differences in incidence and mortality. Yet, there are no epidemiological studies on breast cancer prognosis in relation to iodine levels. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the association between prediagnostic serum iodine levels and brea

At The Climate Show, we talk to leading experts on climate change law and politics. Through a series of conversations, we explore current developments in climate change research.

Den snabba digitaliseringen av transaktioner i banksektorn medför i kombination med uppkomsten av AI en kraftig ökning av finansiella brott, vilket utmanar regelbaserade säkerhetssystem. Syftet med denna intervjustudie är att skapa en förståelse för användningen av AI-system i arbetet mot finansiell brottslighet inom den svenska banksektorn. Genom ett sociotekniskt perspektiv och ramverket TechnolThe rapid digitalization of banking transactions, combined with the emergence of AI, has led to a sharp increase in financial crime, challenging traditional rule-based security systems. This interview study aims to understand the utilization of AI systems in countering financial crime within the Swedish banking sector. Drawing on a sociotechnical perspective and the Technology, Organization, and E
