The Swedish Research Council is a Swedish government agency and one of the major research financiers in Sweden. As such, its operations are governed by legislation and governmental instructions and policies, which prohibit discrimination and include equal treatment. Consequently, the Swedish Research Council has for a large number of years been working actively against gender bias in their reviews

Gaseous ammonia, while influential in atmospheric processes, is critically underrepresented in atmospheric measurements. This limits our understanding of key climate-relevant processes, such as new particle formation, particularly in remote regions. Here, we present highly sensitive, online observations of gaseous ammonia from a coastal site in Antarctica, which allows us to constrain the mechanis

Quantum information science has leaped forward with the exploration of high-dimensional quantum systems, offering greater potential than traditional qubits in quantum communication and quantum computing. To advance the field of high-dimensional quantum technology, a significant effort is underway to progressively enhance the entanglement dimension between two particles. An alternative effective st

To make surgery more precise and to shorten anesthesia-times for children undergoing surgery for Hirschsprung’s disease, ultra-high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) has been suggested to replace peroperative biopsy. The study’s aim was to determine quantitatively whether aganglionic and ganglionic bowel segments could be distinguished by UHFUS. Bowel specimens of 23 children operated on for rectosigmo

Background: In Sweden, dental care for children and adolescents, including specialist orthodontic treatment, is publicly funded. This study aims to analyze the impact of sociodemographic factors on the distribution of publicly funded specialist orthodontic treatment in a mid-sized Swedish region. Methods: A registry-based cohort study was conducted in Region Östergötland, including individuals bor

Introduction: The PI*Mmalton variant is a rare form of alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, caused by a mutation in the SERPINA1 gene and associated with reduced AAT levels. Its clinical significance remains uncertain due to the limited number of reported cases. Methods: This study characterizes PI*Mmalton carriers within the EARCO (European Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Research Collaboration) registry an

BACKGROUND: A limited subset of patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may develop intractable symptoms that ultimately require reversal to normal anatomy. Existing literature on this subject is characterized by small cohort sizes, substantial variation in surgical techniques, and limited follow-up durations. However, this study presents the largest single-center series to date, compr

BACKGROUND: Shared decision-making (SDM) between clinicians and patients is one of the pillars of the modern patient-centric philosophy of care. This study aims to explore SDM in the discipline of trauma and emergency surgery, investigating its interpretation as well as the barriers and facilitators for its implementation among surgeons.METHODS: Grounding on the literature on the topics of the und

The metrology of attosecond pulse trains is based on a cross-correlation technique between a comb of extreme ultraviolet harmonics generated by the high-order harmonic generation process and a synchronised infrared field. The approach, usually referred to as reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions (RABBIT), allows one to recover the relative phase between the

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction in medicine and surgery. AI-based applications can offer tools to examine high-volume data to inform predictive analytics that supports complex decision-making processes. Time-sensitive trauma and emergency contexts are often challenging. The study aims to investigate trauma and emergency surgeons' knowledge and perception of using AI-ba

In Sweden, penetrating injuries to the lung and especially to the heart are fortunately rare. We hereby present a case-report on a young man who was stabbed in the right lung and heart. The paramedics arrived at the scene one minute after the alarm and instituted mechanical ventilation and fluid infusion. Ten minutes later the young man arrived at the emergency department. By then the patient was

Background: Primary healthcare providers are increasingly challenged in supporting patients with psychosocial needs. Arts on Prescription (AoP) has been shown to improve primary healthcare patients’ mental health wellbeing. The aim of the current study is to understand the psychosocial effect of participating in an Arts on Prescription programme. Methods: A total of 112 primary healthcare patients

We have measured the core-valence double ionization spectra of carbon suboxide above both the O 1s and C 1s edges. Following several core-valence cases known in the literature, to begin with the spectra are compared with the well-known single ionization valence photoelectron spectrum of this system, from which they surprisingly differ quite strongly. This motivates a comparison to electronic struc

Lignans derived from Schisandra chinensis have attracted significant attention for their diverse pharmacological activities and clinical potential. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of the pharmacological properties of Schisandra chinensis lignans, including their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, antibacterial/viral, antidiabetic and anticancer effects

The proliferation of various data sources in urban and territorial environments has significantly facilitated the development of geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) across a wide range of geospatial applications. However, geospatial data, which is inherently linked to geospatial objects, often exhibits data heterogeneity that necessitates specialized fusion and representation strategies whi

Perivascular macrophages (PVMs) are a specialized subset of macrophages situated near blood vessels in the brain. Their strategic positioning around these vessels enables them to perform key functions in immune surveillance and response to inflammation and injury. These cells are crucial for modulating the immune response within the brain, contributing to normal central nervous system (CNS) proces

Background: The feedback of the surveillance results to the employee and the employer largely determines the impact of workers’ health surveillance on workers’ health and exposure. We are unaware of any guidebooks or articles on performing feedback on regulated workers’ health surveillance, e.g., for vibration-exposed workers. Objectives: To identify existing knowledge of the communication aspects

Objective: To highlight experiences from a personal data incident, which occurred during recruitment for a project focused on how housing choices and relocation are related to active and healthy ageing. Results: Based on established collaboration, the researchers and representatives of housing companies planned for recruitment. Invitations to participate was distributed to persons registered with

Background: With the availability of a wrist-worn device capable of acquiring two ECG leads with a single touch, synthesis of the 12-lead ECG may be accomplished to facilitate clinical interpretation. Objective: This study proposes an echo state network (ESN) for synthesizing the 12-lead ECG from two leads simultaneously acquired using a wrist-worn device. Methods: The wrist-worn device, equipped
