Background: Epidemiologic data suggest that diet is a risk factor in the etiology of gastric cancer. However, the role of dietary fatty acids, a modifiable risk factor, remains relatively unexplored. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the association of plasma phospholipid fatty acid concentrations, as biomarkers of exogenous and endogenously derived fatty acids, with the risk

Background: Recently, some US cohorts have shown a moderate association between red and processed meat consumption and mortality supporting the results of previous studies among vegetarians. The aim of this study was to examine the association of red meat, processed meat, and poultry consumption with the risk of early death in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)

The indoor climate system, which serves a building with a proper indoor air quality and thermal comfort, has been predominantly designed based on the initial investment costs. A life cycle approach could improve both the economic and environmental performance since the energy use would decrease. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge, models and tools for determining the life cycle cost (LCC) for

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess associations between intake of combined soft drinks (sugar sweetened and artificially sweetened) and fruit and vegetable juices and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic bile duct (IHBC) and biliary tract cancers (GBTC) using data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort of 477,206 participants from

Low-carbon behaviour changes are essential for achieving the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5° Celsius. Increasingly, it is recognised that such behaviour changes cause further effects in individuals' lifestyles, which are important to understand for the success of such low-carbon behaviour changes. Rebound effects can occur that undermine the carbon savings, and individual well-bein

Purpose: Different imaging tools, including digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), are frequently used for evaluating tumor response during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). This study aimed to explore whether using artificial intelligence (AI) for serial DBT acquisitions during NACT for breast cancer can predict pathological complete response (pCR) after completion of NACT. Methods: A total of 149 wo

Water resources are fundamental to life, ecosystems, and human development. In an era of climate change and increasing water scarcity, effective management of these resources is crucial, particularly in cold regions where glaciers and snow play vital roles in hydrological cycles. Understanding and accurately modelling these complex systems is essential for sustainable water resource management, cl

Background: Despite efforts to promote guideline use, guideline adoption is often suboptimal due to failure to identify and address relevant barriers. Barriers vary not only between guidelines but also between settings, intended users, and targeted patients. Multi-professional guidelines are often used in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), making the implementation process more d

Background: More knowledge is needed on potential associations between individual-, family-, and neighborhood-level factors and psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. Aims: To examine associations between, individual-, family-, and neighborhood-level factors and incident internalizing (anxiety and mood) disorders and externalizing (ADHD and conduct) disorders in children and adolesc

Introduction: Target volume delineation is crucial in breast cancer radiotherapy planning but involves significant interobserver variability. Deep learning (DL) models may reduce this variability, saving time and costs. However, current DL-models do not consider clinical data, such as tumor location and patient comorbidity, to adjust the target and reduce dose to organs at risk (OAR). This study c

Background Low-grade systemic inflammation is linked to abnormal spirometry. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is sensitive in detecting peripheral airway dysfunction, but inflammation in relation to IOS is poorly studied. The objectives of the present study were to analyse associations between C-reactive protein (CRP), blood eosinophils (B-Eos), blood neutrophils (B-Neu), blood lymphocytes (B-Lym), bloo

Background: Mental health professionals often differ in their explanatory models of mental distress, which may influence their attitudes toward individuals experiencing such conditions. Stigmatizing attitudes among providers can adversely affect therapeutic relationships, service quality, and recovery outcomes. Aims: This study investigates the attributional frameworks—biological, cognitive-behavi

Extreme climate events, such as heatwaves, are predicted to increase in frequency, intensity, and duration in the near future. Subarctic and boreal climate zones are expected to be especially negatively impacted, as recent shifts in temperature regimes are already particularly strong compared with more southern biomes. While many studies have focused on gradual warming and on both acute and chroni

Upphovsrättsliga överlåtelser inom musikbranschen sker dagligen och kan ske helt eller som en delvis upplåtelse. Upphovsmän och utövande konstnärer överlåter sin ekonomiska rättighet till bland annat musikförlag och skivbolag för att erhålla ersättning och stöd när denne ska släppa sin musik. Upphovsrättslagen är den dominerande lagstiftningen på området och är huvudsakligen dispositiv och såledesCopyright transfers in the music industry take place daily and can take place both in full or as a partial lease. Authors and performers transfer their financial rights to, among others, music publishers and record companies in order to receive compensation and support when they are to release their music. The Copyright Act is the dominant legislation in the area which is mainly dispositive and th

Denna uppsats behandlar domar från Sveriges hovrätter gällande våldtäktsmål då målsäganden sovit då den sexuella handlingen utfördes. I fokus står hovrätternas bedömning av huruvida gärningsmannen agerat uppsåtligen, alternativt grovt oaktsamt. Enbart domar efter 2018 års lagändring beaktas. I skrivande stund finns enbart ett avgörande från Högsta domstolen som meddelats efter 2018 och berör bedöm

Skyddet för immateriella rättigheter prioriteras högt av lagstiftaren eftersom det anses vara viktigt för samhällsutvecklingen. Den illegala fildelningen på nätet har medfört nya utmaningar för det upphovsrättsliga skyddet, särskilt eftersom identifiering av intrångsgörare blir allt svårare med dagens teknik. Mot bakgrund av detta infördes en möjlighet för rättighetshavare att få information om oiThe legislator accords the protection of intellectual property a high priority. It is considered essential for society's progress, as it is conducive to innovation and investment. The illegal online file-sharing has brought on new challenges for copyright protection, particularly as identifying infringers is becoming increasingly challenging with today's technology. Therefore, a legal fram

Extrema klimathändelser, såsom betydande översvämningar, utgör en risk för naturkatastrofer. På grund av klimatförändringarnas effekter förväntas södra Sverige få fler betydande regnväder som kan orsaka översvämningar i allt högre grad med mängden utsläpp. I denna studie undersöks dagens och framtidens översvämningsrisk i ett litet område i denna region, inom Kävlinges avrinningsområde. I det fram

Under senare år har artificiell intelligens blivit alltmer populärt. I samband med det ökade intresset har vi sett nya applikationer för denna teknologin. En ny användning blev att man genom viss AI databaser fick fram vad som kallas för ”generativ AI”. Generativ AI kan skapa olika verk på olika alster efter man givit den instruktioner som kallas ”prompts”. Av intresse för många var hur viss generIn recent years artificial intelligence has risen in popularity. In relation with the increased interest, we have also seen new applications with said technol-ogy. One of those uses are called “generative AI”. Generative AI is able to create different kinds of works through user made instructions referred to as “prompts”. What was of interest to many was the ability of generative AI like “Midjourn
