Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for depression with potential transient cognitive side effects. However, subjective memory impairment can extend over a long period after ECT. Objectives: This study aimed to assess potential risk factors for long-term subjective memory impairment 6 months after ECT and to explore if the associations are mediated by depressive s

What were the effects of having a distinctively African American-sounding name on educational attainment, occupation, income, marital status, and longevity in early 20th century America? How did those effects differ for people based on their phenotypical race/ethnicity? The findings of contemporary research have shown racialized names to be related to negative outcomes such as job interview callba

The virtual reconstruction of the archaeological landscape is a very complex process including in a virtual ecosystem many kinds of data, activities, according to a multidisciplinary approach. This system of relations, interactions and behaviors assumes perceptive, cultural, psychological and relevance. The virtual environment and archaeological structures, as they are today, can be reconstructed

SammanfattningFör induktion av hypertermi i klinisk praxis i LUND utvecklade vi ett 2450 MHz mikrovågssystem, som har använts sedan augusti 1980. 1982 lade vi till frekvensen 915 MHz, och sedan 1986 har vi även 434 MHz tillgängligt. Ett styrsystem baserat på en dator justerar temperaturen i vävnaden genom att alternera temperaturregistrering och mikrovågsstrålning. Konventionella termistorsonder (

Nonlinear effects play a central role in photonics as they form the foundation for most of the device functionalities such as amplification and quantum state preparation and detection. Typically the nonlinear effects are weak and emerge only at high photon numbers with strong drive. Here we present an experimental study of a Josephson junction -based high-impedance resonator. We show that by takin

Introduction: Little is known of the long-term prognosis of patients with acute ischaemic stroke in the absence of standard modifiable stroke risk factors (SMoRFs). In acute coronary syndromes, patients without modifiable risk factors have a higher mortality rate. We analysed data from the Swedish Stroke Register to determine survival of patients without SMoRFs following an ischaemic stroke. Patie

InAs nanowires have been used as selectors and electrodes in a one-transistor one-resistor resistive random-access memory (RRAM) configuration for increased memory scalability. Such oxide-based memories not only show promise both in conventional memory technology but also as analog memories for neural networks. The small areas of the oxide elements, however, result in challenges for electrical cha

Background: Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare subtype, accounting for less than 5% of primary cutaneous invasive melanomas. DM often arises in chronically sun-exposed skin, in older individuals. While the incidence of cutaneous melanoma has increased globally, trends specific to DM are less documented and studies on survival outcomes for DM are inconsistent. Objectives: To study patient and tum

Metal fuels can be promising candidates as alternative energy sources and renewable energy carriers within the metal-fuel cycle. They feature high energy density, low environmental impact, and broad production and application. One challenge in metal particle combustion lies in its multi-physics complexity compared to traditional hydrocarbon fuels. This thesis intends to investigate the combustion

Denna rapport jämför två fall där Helsingborgs stad verkar för att bli mer cirkulär. Det ena är hur avfallsbolaget NSR (där staden är majoritetsägare) har utvecklat en produktionsanläggning och kompetenscentrum om biokol. Det andra är hur Stadsbyggnadskontoret, med Fastighetsförvaltningen, arbetar med att främja återbruk. Rapporten beskriver hur man i dessa två fall har skapat agendasättande relatDenna rapport jämför två fall där Helsingborgs stad verkar för att bli mer cirkulär.

This conceptual article examines the relational dynamic between the research field focusing on the far right and those critical scholars that endeavour to undertake these studies. It is theoretically anchored in the field of political science scholarship that recognises the key role played by gender in understanding both the ideological underpinnings and the workings of various far-right entities

Purpose: To describe nurses' experiences encountering children with suspected neurodevelopmental disorders in Child Health Services. Design and methods: This qualitative inductive study was conducted in Sweden. Twenty nurses were interviewed individually on a virtual platform using a semi-structured interview guide with open-ended and explorative questions. Interviews were audio recorded and trans

Background: Behavioural variant Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD) is an early-onset dementia characterised by early anterior cingulate (AC) neuropathological insult. The AC exhibits high morphological heterogeneity, which may be classified according to the presence of a paracingulate sulcus (PCS), a tertiary sulcus that, when present, develops during the third gestational trimester and thereafter re

Alcohol impairs motor performance, but it remains unclear precisely why this is the case. Here, we examine the effects of alcohol intoxication on conditioned eyeblink responses, a form of classical conditioning dependent on the cerebellum. In experiment 1, the conditioned responses of 18 students before and after alcohol consumption up to 1 ‰ were compared against the performance of 26 non-drinkin

Utfallet av parlamentsvalen i Europa får troliggen större påverkan på Sverige än Trump, skriver Fredrik N G Andersson, docent i nationalekonomi vid Lunds universitet.
