Lead-free perovskites (LFPs) are an emergent class of materials with great potential as next-generation candidates for energy and optoelectronic applications, offering a sustainable and non-toxic alternative to their lead-based counterparts. Computational studies play a central role in accelerating the discovery, design, and optimization of these materials by enabling predictive insights into elec
The PRIMARY score was implemented in Prostate Cancer Molecular Imaging Standardized Evaluation (PROMISE) version 2 to improve accuracy for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET). We reviewed overall survival (OS) for patients who underwent PSMA PET for initial staging to evaluate the prognostic valu
Effective workload planning in Skåne hospitals relies on accurate, data-driven birth forecasts. Weekly and hospital-level predictions are particularly important in the healthcare sector for operational decision-making, including staffing and maternity unit resource allocation. This study develops and evaluates a time series forecasting model capable of predicting weekly birth counts in the Skåne r
The consequences of climate change include an increased risk of landslides, erosion and flooding of buildings in cities. Swedish municipalities have a planning monopoly, which means they have autonomy over urban planning and consequently a responsibility to climate-adapt their cities. It is not enough to focus solely on reducing emissions, climate adaptation measures must also be implemented. To m
Agricultural intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss, which highlights the need for effective policy instruments that promote sustainable farming. Therefore, the EUs common agricultural policy (CAP) plays a major role, especially the voluntary eco-schemes that are designed to incentivize such practices. However, the effectiveness of these policies depends both on farmer participatio
Objectives To identify and describe frameworks for systematically identifying research gaps from evidence syntheses, framing research needs, and establishing priorities, with emphasis on their use of GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) certainty of evidence (CoE) domains and evidence-to-decision (EtD) criteria. Study Design and Setting We conducted a scoping r
Industrial activities, mining and waste management have resulted in extensive contamination of soil, surface water and groundwater all over the world. Around the world, there are different methods used to classify contaminated sites into different risk classes. In Sweden, the method for the inventory of contaminated sites (MIFO) is used. Naturvårdsverket developed it in 1999. MIFO is divided into
Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource for various quantum information applications including quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation. However, detecting entanglement in practice can be challenging due to noisy measurements and limited control over the systems being studied. Steering, which is a distinct nonlocal property between entanglement and bell nonlocality (the strongest
The World Heritage Site Venice and its Lagoon faces major challenges to its conservation, mainly those of mass tourism and climate change. This thesis examines how Venice is represented and managed as a World Heritage Site in official reports by Unesco and Italy, with a particular focus on conservation, tourism and sustainability. The study is conducted through a qualitative content analysis of Un
We study how close-in systems such as those detected by Kepler are affected by the dynamics of bodies in the outer system. We consider two scenarios: outer systems of giant planets potentially unstable to planet-planet scattering and wide binaries that may be capable of driving Kozai or other secular variations of outer planets' eccentricities. Dynamical excitation of planets in the outer system r
Background: Childbirth fear is the most common underlying reason for requesting a caesarean section without medical reason. The aim of this randomised controlled study was to investigate birth preferences in women undergoing treatment for childbirth fear, and to investigate birth experience and satisfaction with the allocated treatment. Methods: Pregnant women classified with childbirth fear (≥60
Introduction The provision of healthcare for patients with inflammatory arthritis occurs in the context of somewhat conflicting targets, values and drivers. Therefore, there is a need for introducing 'value-based healthcare' defined as the value of patient relevant health outcomes in relation to costs. This term is a central part of tomorrow's healthcare sector, especially for rheumatic diseases,
Background: The prevalence of risk factors for ischemic stroke may vary between different groups of stroke patients. We examined the distribution of individual well-established risk factors as well as the multiplicity of risk factors in different age groups and among subtypes. Methods: In the Lund Stroke Register, we consecutively enrolled 2,505 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke from 2001 t
