This presentation discusses the development of the ‘The Activation Series’. Initiated in winter 2016-2017 this artistic method has led to the creation of the 5.1 surround sound installation 'I play Northern Lights' and the audio and video installation 'I play cement'. A third work is in progress in collaboration with Anders Hultqvist, Stefan Östersjö and Gunnar D. Hansson, with the first output pr
Objectives Children and young people growing up in a farm environment run a greater risk of being injured or dying in an accident than their non-farming counterparts. This study examines farming parents' attitudes and experiences of having their children grow up on farms, one of the most dangerous work environments as their home, everyday environment and playground. Method Data were collected usin
BACKGROUND: A mutation found in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene of a breast tumor could be either germline or somatically acquired. The prevalence of somatic BRCA1/2 mutations and the ratio between somatic and germline BRCA1/2 mutations in unselected breast cancer patients are currently unclear.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Paired normal and tumor DNA was analyzed for BRCA1/2 mutations by massively parallel seque
OBJECTIVE: Although weight history is relevant in predicting eating disorder symptom severity, little is known about its role in the etiology of anorexia nervosa (AN). This study aimed to determine whether BMI or BMI trajectory differed between individuals who later developed adolescent-onset AN and a comparison group of HCs between school grades 1 through 6.METHOD: This study was based on longitu
The administration’s legitimacy of the constitutional democracy consist in laws being applied in accordance with the principles which are their foundation. Care about the elderly is the municipals’ responsibility, and this task is regulated in the law of social services and the law of health and healthcare. The legislation grant individual elderly the right to a standard of living that in the law
Introduction: Assessing work capacity and determining appropriate sick leave is a complex process. Despite the importance of fair and consistent assessments, evidence suggests that evaluations may vary. However, previous studies have been inconclusive and have mainly focused on whether sick leave should be recommended or not. The present study examined the medical reliability and consistency of ph
Cognition in children with cerebral palsy (CP) is often affected. How cognition differs by functional level and subtype is not clear, and the effects of adapted response modes need investigation. In this study, the aims were to investigate how many psychologists reported that interpreters and/or augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) were used, how many assessments were adapted, if there
Background: The recommended treatment for hyposmia (a clinically reduced sense of smell) is olfactory training using odor containers that the patients smell twice a day for several weeks. Adherence to the olfactory training regimen is, however, generally low. We aimed to investigate if a new form of odor delivery, using scented nasal inserts, could enhance adherence to olfactory training by allowi
Introduction: Cell-free DNA is an emerging marker of allograft injury, yet its role in the immediate phase of ischemia–reperfusion injury remains incompletely understood.Methods: In this prospective cohort of 127 kidney transplant recipients (86 deceased donors, 41 living donors), intraoperative plasma samples were collected systemically pre-implantation and from the allograft vein postreperfusion
Cardiovascular disease is the global number one causeof mortality and morbidity. The majority of cardio vascular diseases are caused by atherosclerosis, a lipid-driven, inflammatory disease of the middle- and large-sized arteries. The disease is characterized by the formation of atherosclerotic plaques throughout the arterial tree. Over the years, insights intohe pathogenesis of atherosclerosis ha
This thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories. These theories often presume what stage acting is about in order to use it as a simile for every day acting. My intention is to investigate how stage actors actually work with their roles, in particular how they work with emotions, and how it affects their privatThis thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories.

INTRODUCTION: Future physicians must develop the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively manage challenging patient communication. To design linked meaningful learning activities, perspectives from students and teachers need to be taken into account as well as students' previous knowledge. Aiming to better understand how this knowledge can be acquired through patient simulation, we examined
BACKGROUND: Dupuytren disease (DD) is a benign fibroproliferative disorder affecting the hand. Although diabetes mellitus is a known risk factor, the underlying mechanisms behind this association remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the relationship between glycemic control and DD in type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), and to identify other metabolic risk factors influencing DD risk.MET
Background/Aim: Circumferential resection margin (CRM) has been shown to be a strong predictor of risk of local recurrence (LR) and distant metastases (DM) in patients with rectal cancer treated with total mesorectal excision (TME). However, not all patients with a CRM of zero develop LR or DM. This study aimed to identify factors associated with disease-free survival (DFS) despite non-radical exc
