While the so-called “audiobook boom” has yet to reach academic publishing, thegrowing number of students with print disabilities entering higher education isprompting an increase of academic reading materials in audio formats, such asaudiobooks and text-to-speech software. Despite this, little research exists on students’actual use of audiobooks and text-to-speech in their studies, especially amon

Föreskriften om nödvärn finns i 24 kap. 1 § brottsbalken (BrB). Bestämmelsen anger att den som är föremål för ett brottsligt angrepp har rätt att försvara sig. Denna försvarsrätt inträder redan då ett brottsligt angrepp är överhängande. Den angripne är således på ett relativt tidigt stadium berättigad att vidta försvarsåtgärder. För att en gärning som begås i en nödvärnssituation ska vara rättsenl

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) occurs frequently and requires considerable health care resources. It is important to ensure that the treatments which are provided are both clinically effective and economically justifiable. Based on recent new evidence, routine oxygen therapy is no longer recommended in MI patients without hypoxemia. By using data from a nationwide randomized clinical trial

BACKGROUND: Adolescents are reporting increasing symptoms of anxiety, depression and somatization and an increase in perceived stress is a plausible explanation. The first aim of this study was to examine the occurrence of perceived stress and health outcomes in adolescents, and to evaluate if there are any sex differences. The second aim was to investigate if there is an association between perce

The close relationship between young children’s living conditions and their healthlater in life is well documented and a safe and healthy environment during earlychildhood promotes cognitive functions and social development during the wholelifespan. Becoming a parent is a major life transition and it is sometimes described as a stressful and vulnerable time involving changes to lifestyle and routi

Background: Research on ethnic and socioeconomic treatment differences following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) largely draws on register data. Due to the correlational nature of such data, it cannot be concluded whether detected differences reflect treatment bias/discrimination – whereby otherwise identical patients are treated differently solely due to sociodemographic factors. To be able to

Introduction: The radiology department plays an important role in healthcare settings, facilitating diagnoses using different imaging modalities, including ultrasound. However, this high-tech environment can pose various risks to patients. In this study, we aimed to describe the risk of patient safety incidents, and factors associated with the prevention of risks related to ultrasound examinations

Through physiological integration, clonal plants can support ramets in unfavourable patches, exploit heterogeneously distributed resources and distribute resources that are taken up over large areas. Physiological integration generally increases in adverse conditions, but it is not well known which factors determine the evolution of physiological integration. The aim of this study was to investiga

Context: Most previous prospective studies suggest that low serum IGF-1 associates with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events whereas other studies suggest that high serum IGF-1 associates with increased risk of CVD events. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that not only low, but also high serum IGF-1 levels associate with increased risk of CVD events in elderly men. Setting and
