The first part of the first volume of the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was published in 1893 and the last volume was finished in 2023. Thus Sweden’s most extensive lexicographical project was completed after more than 130 years of work. But the completion is not the end of the dictionary project. Since 2024 a revision project is launched.

Background: The Duke criteria for diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) were recently updated by the International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases (ISCVID) with the purpose of enhancing diagnostic specificity and sensitivity. This study investigated the performance of the Duke-ISCVID criteria in relation to previous criteria. Method: This retrospective single centre cohort study in

This paper focuses on the meticulous selection of optimal remote sensing and climate datasets for Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) estimation in African rangelands. Utilizing Eddy Covariance Flux Tower data, we refine data selection and employ a Light Use Efficiency (LUE) model, with Sentinel 2 for photosynthetically active vegetation quantification, MODIS for Photosynthetically Active Radiation (

Objective: We investigated diagnostic utility of phosphorylated tau 217 and 181 (ptau217, ptau181), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), amyloid beta 42 and 40 (Aβ42, Aβ40), and neurofilament light (NfL) to distinguish biomarker-defined Alzheimer disease (AD) from non-AD conditions, in a heterogenous clinical cohort of younger people. Methods: Plasma biomarkers were analysed using ultrasensitiv

Organophosphate hydrolases are proficient catalysts of the breakdown of neurotoxic organophosphates and have great potential as both biotherapeutics for treating acute organophosphate toxicity and as bioremediation agents. However, proficient organophosphatases such as serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and the organophosphate-hydrolyzing lactonase SsoPox are unable to hydrolyze bulkyorganophosphates with

Aims: We aimed to create a predictive model utilizing machine learning (ML) to identify new cases of congestive heart failure (CHF) in individuals with diabetes in primary health care (PHC) through the analysis of diagnostic data. Methods: We used a sex- and age-matched case–control design. Cases of new CHF were identified across all outpatient care settings 2015–2022 (n = 9098). We included indiv

Background: We investigated whether psychosocial determinants self-efficacy and social support are associated with Health-Related Quality of Life in hemodialysis patients enrolled in the CONVINCE trial. Methods: We used baseline data from the cohort of patients involved in the CONVINCE randomized trial of hemodiafiltration versus hemodialysis. Measures included age, gender, relationship status, ch

Background: People with early axial spondyloarthritis experience a diagnostic delay and a similar disease burden as people with axial spondyloarthritis at a later stage of the disease. In many European countries, patients with early axial spondyloarthritis do not have access to an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team. The objective of this study was to develop a new evidence-based physiotherapist

The Fine Resolution Explorer for Salinity, Carbon and Hydrology (FRESCH) is presented. The science case and the mission objectives are discussed before presenting the mission concept. FRESCH is an L-band antenna array operated in beamforming mode providing data at a spatial resolution of 10-15 km to study the biogeochemical and physical phenomena taking place at the interfaces of ocean, land and i

Background and purpose: Although the diagnostic accuracy of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose – positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) for breast cancer (BC) has been well studied, few studies have evaluated the impact of 18F-FDG-PET/CT on BC patient care. This study aimed to investigate restaging and 18F-FDG-PET/CT-induced changes in clinical decision-making in patients with BC. M

Glucuronic acid (GlcA) is an abundant substituent in hardwood xylan, and it is often found in its methylated form as methyl glucuronic acid (MeGlcA). GlcA and MeGlcA are sugar acids, bound to the xylose backbone at position O-2, and their presence can affect the digestibility of the polymer. Currently, detection of released GlcA or MeGlcA from synthetic substrates such as pNP-glucuronic acid can b

The building and construction sector is responsible for a significant portion of embodied and energy related carbon emissions. Efforts to reduce this are reflected in the need for improved sustainability in the design, construction, and operation of structures such as buildings and bridges. This issue has become more prominent in recent decades due to the ongoing climate crisis. A historical revie

The chapter focuses on how process is reviewed in the general framework of EU legal analysis applicable to national pre-authorisation schemes. By examining the model of judicial review developed by the Court of Justice in this regard, I hope to enrich the discussion on what process federalism within the Union can look like and how it may function. After some brief explanations regarding the charac

The higher education sector has been massively disrupted by COVID-19. The technological changes of the past two decades have enabled a ‘blended learning’ approach. Nonetheless, most academics were not prepared to become fully online teachers with very short notice (nor were most students prepared to learn online) in 2020. Our aim was to investigate and document changes in teaching from the perspec

For more than a century, the dairy industry has used high-pressure homogenization for size reduction of fat globules. The prevailing break-up mechanism, turbulence, has been thoroughly investigated and the equipment continuously optimized thereafter. However, the high-pressure homogenizer is also used in size reduction of plant cell structures, for example in production lines of plant-based bevera

Raw sediment samples which are without prior lengthy laboratory preparation can be used to obtain a rough but rapid estimate of the luminescence equivalent dose, and thus of the relative age of the sediment. In this study, we tested this range-finder method on clastic sediments in NE Poland for the first time, with special focus on Pleistocene meltwater sediments generated by highly energetic glac
