Purpose: We present a comprehensive investigation into the organizational, social, and ethical impact of implementing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) as a primary test for breast cancer screening in Italy. The analyses aimed to assess the feasibility of DBT specifically for all women aged 45–74, women aged 45–49 only, or those with dense breasts only. Methods: Questions were framed according to
With more than 260 000 islands, Sweden is one of the countries with most islands in the world. Its islands are located along the coasts and in the larger lakes. For the municipalities and regions where they are located, the islands are places for recreation and symbols in tourism marketing. A rough overview over the impact of the pandemic on rural and remote areas indicates that Swedish tourism in
Motoric eating difficulties affecting the ability to eat according to established norms may result in loss of autonomy, reduced food intake and decreased social interaction. Finger food meals may affect the ability to eat independently and were therefore compared to regular meals for older adults >65 years with major motoric eating difficulties. In this pilot study the screening instrument MEOF-II
High flux, monolithic water purification filters based on polylactic acid (PLA) functionalised with fish scale extracted hydroxyapatite (HAp) were prepared by solvent-assisted blending and thermally induced phase separation (TIPS), followed by twin-screw extrusion into filaments and processed via three-dimensional (3D) printing. The printed filters with consistent pore geometry and channel interco
Ongoing climate variability and change are increasing the burden of diarrhoeal disease worldwide. Meaningful early warning systems with adequate lead times (weeks to months) are needed to guide public health decision–making and enhance community resilience against health threats posed by climate change. Toward this goal, we trained various machine-learning models to predict diarrhoeal disease rate

This study investigates the effects of Age of Onset of Acquisition (AOA) and the quality and quantity of input on the longitudinal development of gender in the acquisition of French by simultaneous (2L1) and successive bilinguals (cL2). Three exponents of French gender are studied: the discovery of the abstract GENDER feature, gender assignment and gender concord. The findings show that the amount
Protein S is a vitamin K dependent plasma protein and a cofactor to activated protein C, a serine protease that regulates blood coagulation. The haploid genome contains two protein S genes (alpha and beta) with the protein S alpha-gene corresponding to the cloned cDNA. We have now isolated and mapped overlapping genomic clones that cover an area of 50 kilobases of the protein S alpha-gene which co
Buildings today account for 40% of the world’s primary energy use and 24% of the greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing the energy use in buildings is an important measures to reduce energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions. In Sweden, there are roughly 2 500 000 dwellings in multifamily houses and single family houses. There is a need to address the energy use within the existing dwellings; esp

The gene for beta-microseminoprotein MSMB has been studied by DNA hybridization and molecular cloning techniques. Comparative analysis of restriction endonuclease digests of the cloned gene and of leukocyte DNA strongly suggested that the gene is present in a single copy in the haploid human genome. By Southern blot analysis of DNA from somatic cell hybrids, the gene was assigned to chromosome 10.
Objective: To examine reliability and validity of the Swedish version of the Self-Efficacy for Rehabilitation (SER) outcome scale. Methods: One-hundred and ninety-eight inpatients (mean age 69 years) who underwent a primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to knee osteoarthritis participated. They responded pre- and postoperatively to the SER outcome scale, and preoperatively to the Hospital Anxi
Starch microspheres were produced by emulsification of a starch dispersion in an aqueous polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution. Crystalline/ordered structure was formed within these starch droplets during incubation at 6 °C for 25 h followed by incubation at 37 °C for 28 h. After incubation at 37 °C the crystalline structure in the samples was of type B. The crystallization process of microspheres wa
