BACKGROUND: Clinical guidelines recommend different revascularization strategies for nonculprit lesions in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) versus non-STEMI (NSTEMI). Whether the prevalence of untreated high-risk vulnerable plaques differs in STEMI and NSTEMI and affects their outcomes is unknown. METHODS: In PROSPECT II (Providing Regional Observations to Study Pre
Background and ObjectivesMyasthenia gravis (MG), an autoimmune disease characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness, is believed to result from complex gene-environment interactions, yet few risk factors have been identified. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of nicotine and alcohol on MG disease risk.MethodsThe Genes and Environment in Myasthenia Gravis study is a Swedish, n
Background: Standardised language tests provide a reliable framework for assessing language deficits in individuals with aphasia, but have long been lacking for various languages, including Swedish. The purpose of this study was to examine the diagnostic accuracy and establish the norm-references of the Swedish version of the Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT-S). Methods: Consecutive patients with a
Background: Optimal long-term follow-up (LTFU) care for survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult (CAYA) cancer can improve or maintain their quality of life by prevention and early treatment of late effects. However, optimal LTFU care is not provided to all CAYA cancer survivors. This systematic review sought to identify associated barriers, facilitators and other factors of LTFU care fo
The essay explores how the Sámi newspaper Samefolket in Sweden self-constitutes the global collective known as indigenous peoples, through a post-structuralist lens. It starts from the observation that the Swedish government primarily grants the Sámi its group rights as a minority and as reindeer herders, rather than as an indigenous population. Furthermore, when Sami activists in the early 1970s
Biobased plastics are seen as promising alternative material to reduce negative environmental impacts of plastic food packaging. Despite many years of development efforts of biobased plastics, the current commercial use of them is still low indicating barriers to their application. The purpose of this interview study is to explore the perceptions of industry stakeholders towards the use of biobase
By analysing two different Female Gothic novels, this thesis aims to explore the different ways in which masculinity is portrayed within the Female Gothic literary tradition, more specifically the Early Gothic and Victorian Gothic due to constraints in scope. The novels chosen, The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) and Uncle Silas (1864), are in many ways representative and serve as typical Female Gothi
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common, especially among athletes. The injury often leaves the patient with consequences, such as affected postural orientation, impaired functional performance, and muscle weakness, even after rehabilitation is completed. In addition to performance-based tests, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) may be used to measure the patient’s
Objective: Previous research using personality traits to predict life outcomes has typically utilized the Big Five factors and, occasionally, their facets. However, recent research suggests that using items (reflecting personality nuances) can account for greater predictive variance. The present study examines the predictive validity of the different levels of the personality trait hierarchy (fact
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate whether variations of social support functions predicted stress using a sample of public sector managers in Sweden. Additionally, the study aimed to contribute to psychological literature due to the scarcity of research on the ill health of managers, and the impact of support functions on occupational stress. Whilst, the aim was also to identify
Fewer hospital beds and an increasing amount of patients with comorbidities calls for more advanced care being performed in the municipal home care. This increases the incidence of acute illnesses needing to be assessed by the nurse in municipal home care. An early and structured assessment is crucial for making correct and efficient decisions about the level of care that the patient needs. This s

The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is affected by anthropogenic activities in Swedish waters, and the individuals found in the Öresund belong to the Belt Sea population, which is classified as ´vulnerable´. Boat traffic is known to have a negative impact on porpoises. Behavioural responses to such disturbances are context-dependent, and locally specific knowledge is needed for effective mana
Under 1800-talet präglades hela Kontinentaleuropa av en kodifikationsfeber. Stora delar av Kontinentaleuropa kodifierade civilrätten. Kodifikat-ionstrenden nådde även de nordiska länderna. Sverige, Norge och Danmark gjorde alla någon form av kodifikationsförsök, men inget av dem ledde till en antagen kodifikation. De nordiska länderna avvek både från resten av Kontinentaleuropa och från varandra. During the 19th century, continental Europe was engulfed by a codification fever. Most parts of continental Europe proceeded to codify their private law. The codification trend also reached the Nordic countries. Sweden, Norway, and Denmark all attempted to codify their private law at some point, but none of the attempts ever lead to them adopting a codification. The Nordic countries deviated, both
Att anses vara en moralisk person är en strävan som de allra flesta har. Trots detta verkar det finnas en diskrepans mellan de etiska principer vi säger oss stå bakom och vårt faktiska agerande, ett fenomen kallat dubbelmoral. Denna studie undersökte hur emotionen skuld påverkar uppvisad dubbelmoral gällande personer av olika sociala grupptillhörigheter. Deltagare (N = 166) fick först läsa en instTo be perceived by others as moral and fair is something that most humans desire. Despite this, there appears to exist a discrepancy between the ethical principles we argue for and the actions we actually pursue, a phenomenon called hypocrisy. This article studied how the emotion guilt influences our hypocrisy, and how this varies based on social group membership. Participants (N = 166) were asked
Packaging helps to protect the product and safety handover the product from producer to end user. When the packaging leaves the closed loop it creates environmental issues. Also, the material focused packaging development process creates trade-off among supply chain actors. The sustainable packaging would reduce the overall cost and environmental impact, increase the value of the packed product in
This study explores how narrative identity construction of young entrepreneurs is influenced through sensemaking processes based on storytelling. In order to do so, this study has been conducted with eleven participants of an entrepreneurial hub. This entrepreneurial hub is actively engaged in training and developing skills of young entrepreneurs. The participants in our study were considered youn
Satellite remote sensing is a powerful tool for modelling gross primary production (GPP) at large scales. While model comparison is a prerequisite for understanding carbon dynamics comprehensively, existing GPP products rely on a limited number of satellite sensors. In this study, the contemporary fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation product derived from PROBA-V and Sentinel-3
