BACKGROUND: Volumetry of medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures to diagnose Alzheimer's disease (AD) in its earliest symptomatic stage could be of great importance for interventions or disease modifying pharmacotherapy.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to demonstrate the first application of an automatic segmentation method of MTL subregions in a clinical population. Automatic segmentation of magnetic re

In this thesis, two emerging non-volatile memories, being the resistive random access memory and a ferroelectric capacitor were characterized at cryogenic temperatures. This was carried out due to the demand for non-volatile CMOS compatible cryogenic memories for quantum computing applications. Both devices exhibit good switching characteristics, endurance >10^7 cycles and multilevel capability. M

The authors of this policy brief are contributors to the research project Infrastructuring Libraries in Transformation (ILIT). ILIT’s objective is to examine public libraries’ role in this era beset by social challenges such as segregation, discrimination, austerity measures, and unemployment. ILIT began conducting research in three urban communities in 2022: Malmö, Sweden; Rotterdam, the Netherla

Vi som skrivit denna text är en del av forskningsprojektet ILIT. ILIT undersöker hurfolkbibliotek fungerar i en tid som präglas av sociala utmaningar. Exempel på utmaningar är segregation, diskriminering, ekonomiska åtstramningar och arbetslöshet. ILIT är en förkortning av Infrastructuring Libraries in Transformation. Projektet genomförs i Sverige (Malmö), Nederländerna (Rotterdam) och Österrike (

Overweight and obesity rates have increased in recent decades, particularly among the younger population. The long-term consequences of obesity with respect to early venous thromboembolism (VTE) in women have not been established. The aim was to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) in early pregnancy as a proxy for non-pregnant weight and long-term post-pregnancy risk of VTE i

Cancer is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). We aimed to define sex-specific risk of preceding cancer in patients with a first-time VTE by conducting a nationwide Swedish registry-based study including 298 172 patients with VTE and 1 185 079 matched controls. This included 44 685 patients with a diagnosis of cancer at/or within 1 year before a VTE diagnosis. Female patients with VTE h

BACKGROUND: Despite improvements in short-term survival for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) in the past two decades, long-term survival is still not well studied. Furthermore, the contribution of different variables on long-term survival have not been fully investigated.AIM: Examine the 1-year prognosis of patients discharged from hospital after an OHCA. Furthermore, identify factors predict

Through interviews with senior academic management representing 16 UK higher education institutions (HEIs), this study explores the relationship between the espoused pedagogical values focusing on student-centred learning, and the construction of large-class, fixed-seat lecture theatres. Despite the widespread promotion of student-centred, collaborative, and active learning approaches in universit

Denna forskning undersöker professionaliseringen av strategisk kommunikation som undervisningsdisciplin genom att utforska upplevda spänningar inom ämnet. Högre utbildning är ett ”slagfält” för både professioner och blivande professioner, och studien ger en djupare förståelse för de dynamiska spänningar som formar professionaliseringsprocessen inom denna disciplin. Det finns dock begränsad forskniThis research examines the professionalisation of strategic communication as a teaching discipline by exploring perceived tensions within the subject. Higher education is a “battleground” for both professions and would-be professions, and the study offers a deeper understanding of the dynamic tensions shaping the professionalisation process of this discipline. However, there has been limited resea

We evaluate a fully automatic technique for labeling hippocampal subfields and cortical subregions in the medial temporal lobe in in vivo 3 Tesla MRI. The method performs segmentation on a T2-weighted MRI scan with 0.4 × 0.4 × 2.0 mm(3) resolution, partial brain coverage, and oblique orientation. Hippocampal subfields, entorhinal cortex, and perirhinal cortex are labeled using a pipeline that comb

Special Issue InformationIs Orthodox Christianity primarily a tool or resource used by political entities, or does it act as an independent social force with the power to drive political outcomes? How does this religion, as a transnational force, shape global politics? The special issue "Sacred Battlefields: The Role of Orthodox Christianity in Geopolitics" seeks to address these overarching quest

In this article, we examine the way the (Christian) Bible and the Qur’an are represented in Swedish press in the wake of the Qur’an burnings that took place in Sweden 2020–23. Through critical discourse analysis we investigate debate articles and identify prominent discourses that stress the Bible as benign and the Qur’an as malign for Swedish society. The Bible is framed as harmonizing with Swedi
