Det finns runt 100 000 blinda och kraftigt synnedsatta individer (BKSI:er) i Sverige. Sådan synnedsättning leder till en kraftigt minskad förmåga för självständig förflyttning och lägre livskvalité, med ökad risk för arbetslöshet, trafikolyckor, en stillasittande livsstil och depression. Hälften av alla käpp- och hundanvändare är med om en huvudkollision årligen, och drygt var tredje för en fallolReduced independent mobility of blind and low-vision individuals (BLVIs) cause considerable societal cost, burden on relatives, and reduced quality of life for the individuals, including increased anxiety, depression symptoms, need of assistance, risk of falls, and mortality. Despite the numerous electronic travel aids proposed since at least the 1940’s, along with ever-advancing technology, the m

The world is currently facing a biodiversity and climate crisis which are globally interlinked. Nature-based solutions (NBS), defined as “actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural and modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously benefiting people and nature” is part of the solution to these challenges. Here we give a status overv

Avhandlingens titel "Kustnära yrkesfiske i förändring. Från mångsysslare till entreprenör" hänvisar till de förändringar som fiskenäringen har genomgått under flera decennier. Fiskenäringen har rationaliserats samtidigt som besöksnäringen vid kusten expanderat. Antalet yrkesfiskare i kustnära yrkesfiske har därför minskat och näringen måste förhålla sig till nya informella krav och förväntningar pIn this dissertation inshore commercial fisheries are being studied from a cultural analytical perspective with a focus on service production and hospitality. The dissertation title, ”Inshore commercial fisheries in change. From pluri-activity to entrepreneurship”, refers to the multiple kinds of change that the fishing industry has undergone for a long period in time. They include rationalization

Background: Cluster analyses have proposed different diabetes phenotypes using age, BMI, glycaemia, homoeostasis model estimates, and islet autoantibodies. We tested whether comprehensive phenotyping validates and further characterises these clusters at diagnosis and whether relevant diabetes-related complications differ among these clusters, during 5-years of follow-up. Methods: Patients with new

Cities are seen as one of the leading forces in making our societies sustainable and resource efficient. The latest trends of sharing homes, cars, bikes, tools and other goods are fast entering our urban lives. The sharing economy is a consumption-production mode in a city, in which value is generated through transactions between peers or organisations that offer access to their idling or underuti

Background: Recent research indicates a favourable influence of postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT) if initiated early, but not late, on subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the clinical relevance of timing of HT initiation for hard end points such as stroke remains to be determined. Further, no previous research has considered the timing of initiation of HT in relation to haemorrhagic stroke ris

Floder och åar är viktiga källor för järn och andra näringsämnen till Östersjön. De senaste decennierna har järnkoncentrationen i svenska och finska åar ökat kraftigt, vilket skulle kunna leda till en ökad transport av järn till Östersjön. Vilken effekt detta kan ha för Östersjön beror på vad som händer med järnet när det möter det salta vattnet i Östersjön. Järn transporteras huvudsakligen i formRivers have traditionally not been considered important sources of bioavailable iron (Fe) to the marine waters, since most Fe is lost by salinity-induced aggregation and sedimentation during estuarine mixing. However, recent studies from boreal rivers found a remarkably high Fe stability, probably due to the interaction with organic matter. Recent studies have suggested that Fe speciation is a key

Nanowire (NW) based devices provide bright possibilities for many different applications [1]. The use of block copolymers (BCPs) for nanopatterning of dielectric masks for selective area metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of III-V nanowires [2] and for NW-device applications [3] has a great potential, when it comes to increasing the NW density and reducing their diameters, which is importan

Svår fetma är ett svårbehandlat tillstånd och hittills har fetmakirurgi visat sig vara den metod som ger den största och mest beständiga viktminskningen över längre tid. Fetmakirurgi har tidigare endast erbjudits vuxna både i Sverige och i andra länder. Under senare år har fetmakirurgi börjat prövas som ett behandlingsalternativ till ungdomar med svår fetma där annan behandling inte har gett tillr

IMPORTANCE: An accurate blood test for Alzheimer disease (AD) could streamline the diagnostic workup and treatment of AD.OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate a clinically available AD blood test in primary care and secondary care using predefined biomarker cutoff values.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: There were 1213 patients undergoing clinical evaluation due to cognitive symptoms who were exa

IMPORTANCE: Behavior therapy is a recommended intervention for Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic tic disorder (CTD), but availability is limited and long-term effects are uncertain.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the long-term efficacy and cost-effectiveness of therapist-supported, internet-delivered exposure and response prevention (ERP) vs psychoeducation for youths with TS or CTD.DESIGN, SETTING, AN

Forskning om mobbning i skolan har ägnat avsevärd uppmärksamhet åt att undersöka vilken roll åskådare (elever som bevittnar mobbning eller vet att den pågår) spelar i att påverka antalet mobbningsfall. Omfattande forskningsfynd har visat att ingripande från kamrater är väsentligt för att minska mobbningsbeteenden och följaktligen har efterföljande studier sökt avgöra vilka faktorer som bidrar tillResearch on school bullying has devoted a considerable amount of attention to investigating the roles of bystanders – the students who witness bullying or know that it is occurring – in bullying episodes. Numerous findings have shown that peer intervention is essential for reducing bullying behaviors; consequently, subsequent studies have examined which factors contribute to increasing the number

Partnervåld utgör ett allvarligt samhällsproblem med omfattande konsekvenser för både individer och samhälle. För att minska risken för skada till följd av problemet behöver socialtjänsten arbeta med både primär och sekundär prevention. Ett effektivt förebyggande arbete förutsätter emellertid kunskap om den tidsmässiga ordningen och variationen av riskfaktorer som är förknippade med utövande av paIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious social issue with profound consequences for individuals and society. To reduce the risk of harm caused by IPV perpetration, social services need to engage in both primary and secondary prevention efforts targeting the issue. However, effective preventive work requires knowledge about the temporal sequence and variability of risk factors associated with

BACKGROUND: There are multiple options for the treatment of thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis (CMC1 OA), with evidence for pain relief and improved function. Although simple trapeziectomy has the lowest complication risk, tendon suspension of the first metacarpal and interposition is still the most commonly used surgical procedure in patients with CMC1 OA. Although there are several repor

Importance: Blood-based tests for brain amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology are needed for widespread implementation of Alzheimer disease (AD) biomarkers in clinical care and to facilitate patient screening and monitoring of treatment responses in clinical trials. Objective: To compare the performance of plasma Aβ42/40 measured using 8 different Aβ assays when detecting abnormal brain Aβ status in patients w
