Background and purpose — Ankle arthrodesis (AA) and total ankle replacement are the 2 main surgical treatment options for advanced ankle arthritis but information is scarce on satisfaction and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after surgery. We aimed to evaluate postoperative satisfaction, changes in PROMs from before to 2 years after AA, and factors associated with the outcome.Methods — T

BackgroundSuicide is a leading cause of premature mortality worldwide, but the impact of system-level mental health resources remains unclear despite the central role of psychiatric inpatient care and declining bed capacity. Prior research has yielded inconsistent findings with limited control for confounding. We aimed to estimate the effect of psychiatric inpatient bed availability on suicide mor

The association between heart disease and depression is well-known and elevated suicide risk has been demonstrated in several types of heart disease. The aim of this study was to investigate what health care contacts individuals with heart disease

Boreal and temperate forests have been greatly affected by clear-cutting. Alternative management systems, such as continuous cover forestry and selective logging, have remained secondary to the dominant even-aged management regime. This regime has its roots in scientific forest management, whose dissemination and development have been well described. But the experiences of rural communities living

Den omvälvande förändring som banade väg för det som kommit att kallas kunskapsekonomin har lett till en omfattande avindustrialisering av de regionala ekonomierna. Den har omformat grundvalarna för de lokala arbetsmarknaderna och förändrat riktningen i den regionala ojämna utvecklingen och löneskillnaderna.

It has reshaped the foundations of local labour markets and shifted the momentum of regional uneven development and wage inequalities. Much of the academic debate, however, has either been grounded in national-level studies of wage disparities or f

The electrification of the transportation sector is a central strategy for decarbonization, yet it raises concerns about the capacity of existing electric power grids to meet increasing demand. This thesis investigates the interaction between large-scale electrified vehicle fleets and the electric power system under the assumption of full transport electrification. The focus is on assessing the re

When discussing the relationship between religion and LGBTQIA+ rights in Europe today, the two are often framed by both religious and secular representatives as oppositional forces. While the rights of sexual and gender minorities are frequently described as symbols of progress and modernity within liberal democracies, religious communities and traditions are commonly portrayed as defenders of tra

Whereas the link between impaired male fertility and risk of testicular and prostate cancer is well established, studies investigating non-reproductive cancer risk among men with impaired reproductive function are scarce and show conflicting results. The aim of the study was to compare the risk of developing non-reproductive cancers in men achieving paternity through assisted reproduction as compa
