Globalisation is characterised not only by long-distance exchange by commodities and people, but also by a microbial unification of the world (une unification microbienne du monde), as was described by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie in the 1970s.

Acute SARS-CoV-2 infections are not always diagnosed; hence an unknown proportion of all infections are not documented. SARS-CoV-2 can induce spike and nucleocapsid protein specific IgG antibodies, which can be detected in seroprevalence studies to identify a previous infection. However, with the introduction of vaccines containing the spike protein it is no longer possible to use spike-IgG as a m

A substantial part in planning for linear infrastructure like road and railways are dependent on the conditions of the ground. As such, much data is collected to categorise the subsurface in order to adequately design the planned structure, estimate volumes in earth works and apply reinforcements. This data, pertaining to the subterranean structure and composition, is usually not plentiful in earl

Fysisk aktivitet är en hälsofrämjande livsstilsfaktor som minskar risken för flera kroniska sjukdomar såsom hjärt-kärlsjukdomar, diabetes typ 2, depression och vissa typer av cancer. En av cancerformerna där risken minskas är bröstcancer som är den vanligaste cancern hos kvinnor, i Sverige insjuknar ungefär 7 500 kvinnor per år. Bröstcancer kan delas in i olika subgrupper som till viss del styr beBackground: Physical activity and avoidance of sedentariness do enhance health in women with breast cancer, and could even reduce the risk of developing the disease. One aim of this thesis was to elucidate the association between sedentariness and breast cancer risk in women as a whole, and then separately for those younger than 55 years old and those 55 years or older. Two additional aims were re

Introduction Measure and monitor adverse events (AEs) following hip arthroplasty is challenging. The aim of this study was to create a model for measuring AEs after hip arthroplasty using administrative data, such as length of stay and readmissions, with equal or better precision than an ICD-code based model. Materials and methods This study included 1 998 patients operated with an acute or electi
