World Values Survey (WVS) visar sedan decennier starka samband mellan religion, kultur och politik i olika länder. Dimensionerna traditionella vs sekulariserade värderingar respektive överlevnad vs självförverkligande (kollektivism vs individualism) är grundläggande för hur kulturella värderingar, ofta grundade i religion, interagerar med politiskt beteende och politiska beslut (Inglehart 1997, 20
Background Sex differences in valvular heart diseases have been examined but rarely using a nationwide, comprehensive approach.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to analyze the risk of different types of valvular heart diseases among males and females in Sweden.MethodsThis was a nationwide Swedish study of all individuals (N = 9,984,758; 4,969,472 males and 5,015,286 females). Valvular heart dise
This article examines Friedrich Schelling’s understanding of the beginning of reality through the concept of contraction and its relation to his view of life as struggle. Drawing on his rejection of mechanistic accounts of life, the article shows how Schelling envisions all life – divine as well as finite – as arising through tension, polarity, and dynamic becoming. God is not a static principle b
Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) is a powerful formalism for the time-scale analysis of vibration signals from rotating machinery. However, its performance is often compromised by complex parameter configuration, where subjective manual tuning leads to mode mixing or information loss. In this study, we present a physics-guided framework that generalizes VMD optimization across diverse operatin
The capacity of nutrient-limited forests to enhance carbon (C) sequestration under elevated CO2 (eCO2) remains a critical uncertainty in C cycle modeling. While existing evidence suggests that low phosphorus (P) bioavailability may constrain CO2 fertilization effects on plant growth, the extent to which this limitation modulates ecosystem responses to eCO2 in forests adapted to P-deficient soils r
Once rooted in the Cold War experience of small and nonaligned European states, total defense has reemerged across Northern and Eastern Europe in response to Russia’s increasingly aggressive behavior. Finland, Norway, and Sweden are at the forefront of this revival, making total defense central to national security and societal resilience. This article examines why these three structurally similar
In today’s dynamic economic climate, businesses are increasingly compelled to reassess their organisational strategies. This shift is driven by varied profitability across sectors, fluctuating market demands, evolving consumer preferences, and heightened sustainability imperatives. To stay competitive, many industries are embracing advanced technologies including big data, cyber-physical systems (
Pimavanserin was the first US Food and Drug Administration approved antipsychotic drug that does not block D2 dopamine receptors at therapeutic doses. Pimavanserin is a selective 5-HT2A receptor inverse agonist that reduces the frequency of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson disease. Despite these attributes, pimavanserin prolongs the QT interval at therapeutic doses, limiting
Forskning visar att rika individer har ett större klimatavtryck än befolkningen i stort.Rikedom innebär också symbolisk makt, där de rikas liv och vanor kan påverkanormer för vad som uppfattas som ett gott och eftersträvansvärt liv. Men hur ser densvenska allmänheten på rikedom och rika individer i ljuset av klimatförändringarna?Har rika ett särskilt ansvar att sänka sina koldioxidutsläpp? Och fin
De ultrarikas höga utsläpp väcker frågor om miljardärernas klimatansvar. Ska de som släpper ut mest också minska sina utsläpp mest? Bör de ultrarikas inkomster begränsas eller styras om i ljuset av klimatkrisen? Vad tycker svenska folket? Det är frågor som välfärdsforskare i Lund och Göteborg just nu söker svar på.
Klimatavtryck från Sveriges och världens rikaste har ökat stadigt sedan 90-talet. Samtidigt har de med lägst inkomst minskat sina utsläpp. Nu undersöker forskare om begränsningar för superrika kan bidra till minskade utsläpp. Utopi eller frihetskränkande?
Over the past two decades, the Nordic countries have attracted atten-tion, for instance, due to their high rankings in surveys of happinessand a range of other economic and social indicators. This special issueinvestigates how strategic communication is theorized and practicedwithin this regional context, focusing on the distinctive conditions thatshape both conceptual frameworks and professional
Background Treatment of severe hemophilia A (SHA) with FVIII concentrates is complicated by the development of neutralizing inhibitors in about 30% during the first 50 exposure days (EDs). Despite extensive research, inhibitor risk of different FVIII concentrates remains to be elucidated. Objectives This study aimed to analyze inhibitor development according to (classes of) individual FVIII concen
PURPOSE: We aimed to develop a predictive tool for anastomotic leakage (AL) following colon cancer surgery by combining a clinical early warning score (EWS) with the C-reactive protein (CRP) level.METHODS: The records of 1,855 patients who underwent colon cancer surgery at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust between January 2013 and December 2018, with or without AL, were retrospe
BACKGROUND: Intestinal resection and a proximal stoma is the preferred surgical approach in patients with severe secondary peritonitis due to perforation of the small intestine. However, proximal stomas may result in significant nutritional problems and long-term parenteral nutrition. This study aimed to assess whether primary anastomosis or suturing of small intestine perforation is feasible and
Structural variants, such as deletions, insertions, and inversions, have been increasingly recognized as important drivers of genome evolution, in the era of high-throughput sequencing. However, large-scale chromosomal rearrangements involving multiple chromosomes, including translocations, chromosomal fusions, and fissions, remain relatively understudied, especially outside of clinical and model
