Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är en viktig uppgift för samhället att förebygga HIV och STI (sexuellt överförbara infektioner) bland ungdomar. Under de första åren av 1990-talet, när denna studie genomfördes, ökade dessa infektioner på ett oroväckande sätt. Detta gällde särskilt klamydiainfektionerna och nästan 25% av studenterna vid Lunds universitet rapporterade att de hade haft en konstaterad Slowing the incidence of HIV and STI among young people requires that they change their sexual behaviours. There is evidence that community-based interventions that target multiple levels of influence can be effective. In community mobilization different segments and sectors of a population are directly involved in problem identification and in the design and implementation of programs. The proces

The simulation of current and projected wildfires is essential for predicting crucial aspects of vegetation patterns, biogeochemical cycling as well as pyrogenic emissions across the African continent. This study uses a data-driven approach to parameterize two burned area models applicable to dynamic vegetation models (DVMs) and Earth system models (ESMs). We restricted our analysis to variables f

The study is based on monitoring data on the seasonal variation during four (1996-1999) vegetation periods, as well as long-term summer data on submerged vegetation, nutrients, light, phyto-plankton and zooplankton in Lake Krankesjon, a shallow, calcium-rich, moderately eutrophic take in southern Sweden. The lake has been in the clear water state with abundant submerged vegetation since the end of

Background: The global plant-based food shift puts high pressure on manufacturing capacity at facilities like Oatly's Landskrona site. This environment faces high combinatorial complexity due to growing product variety and sequence-dependent cleaning requirements. Relying on manual, experience-based planning to navigate these rules limits throughput and introduces organisational risk. Purpose

Background: Disease-modifying therapies targeting the diverse pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), including neuroinflammation, represent potentially important and novel approaches. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity and has an established safety profile. Semaglutide may have a disease-modifying, neuroprotec

Increased risk of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) associated with personal history of several autoimmune diseases (ADs), such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, and immune thrombocytopenic purpura, are known. Whether there are other HL-related ADs and whether the increased risk of HL after ADs holds across sex, age, year of diagnosis, or HL histological subtype is unclear. W

The estimated quantity of cement for construction and sealing purposes is around 9E5 kg in the planned Swedish KBS3 repository for nuclear waste. The highly alkaline cement pore fluid (pH > 12) may affect other components in the repository, and especially the bentonite buffer is of concern. In this study, we simulated possible interactions between cement and bentonite by contacting highly compacte

Increasing global focus on sustainable palm oil (SPO) initiatives has led to discussions of smallholder integration at the bottom of the supply chain. In 2019, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) introduced a new standard for independent smallholders. Meanwhile, through Presidential Regulation no. 44 of 2020, the President of Indonesia recently made Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO)

NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) was introduced in 1974. Despite its limitations, it has been under use for monitoring bio-physical and cultural landscapes from satellite. The present study employed MODIS based NDVI to examine trends of greenness and its link with LULC (land use/land cover) change and rainfall in Addis Ababa and its surrounding (covering 1,217 sq km) over a period of 1

Importance: Persistent disparities in mortality across countries suggest uneven improvements in living standards and access to life-extending health technologies, as well as context-specific obstacles. Studies have analyzed cross-country inequality in mortality but have not widely contextualized those disparities in terms of developmental progress relative to a frontier representing a level of mor

Background: Left-sided pancreatic cancer is associated with worse overall survival (OS) compared with right-sided pancreatic cancer. Although neoadjuvant therapy is currently seen as not effective in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer (RPC), current randomized trials included mostly patients with right-sided RPC. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between neoadjuvant t

Background: Optimal long-term follow-up (LTFU) care for survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult (CAYA) cancer can improve or maintain their quality of life by prevention and early treatment of late effects. However, optimal LTFU care is not provided to all CAYA cancer survivors. This systematic review sought to identify associated barriers, facilitators and other factors of LTFU care fo

Background: Sedation is often provided to resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients to tolerate post-cardiac arrest care, including temperature management. However, the evidence of benefit or harm from routinely administered deep sedation after cardiac arrest is limited. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effects of continuous deep sedation compared to minimal sedation o

BACKGROUND: Ageing is associated with circadian rhythm sleep disorders, poor sleep at night, less physical activity and more time spent indoors, affecting the wellbeing of older adults. Their sleep and mood could benefit from daytime outdoor physical activity, exposure to daylight, better indoor lighting and sleep routines. However, changes to routines can be challenging depending on individual be

Context. Near-infrared high-resolution échelle spectrographs unlock access to fundamental properties of exoplanets, from their atmospheric escape and composition to their orbital architecture, which can all be studied simultaneously from transit observations. Aims. We present the first results of the newly commissioned ESO near-infrared spectrograph, Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS), from thr

Background: Five risk factors account for approximately 50% of the global burden of cardiovascular disease. How the presence or absence of classic risk factors affects lifetime estimates of cardiovascular disease and death from any cause remains unclear. Methods: We harmonized individual-level data from 2,078,948 participants across 133 cohorts, 39 countries, and 6 continents. Lifetime risk of car

Context. Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are gas giant exoplanets that are strongly irradiated by their star, setting intense molecular dissociation that leads to atmospheric chemistry dominated by ions and atoms. These conditions inhibit day-to-night heat redistribution, which results in high temperature contrasts. Phase-curve observations over several passbands offer insights on the thermal structure

INTRODUCTION: Total alloplastic replacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a viable treatment option for severe TMJ disorders (TMDs) unresponsive to conservative approaches, as well as for reconstruction of congenital or acquired TMJ defects. However, clinical data on indications, outcomes, complications and long-term effects remain limited, and no global registry currently exists. This s

BackgroundPrimary care is key to early identification and referral of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Assessing eligibility for new anti-amyloid treatment may guide appropriate referrals and prevent overburdening specialized care. In this study we determined eligibility for anti-amyloid treatment in patients undergoing cognitive evaluation in primary care.MethodPatients were selected from
