Despite increased attention to climate finance in urban adaptation, empirical data on the socio-political processes shaping funding accessibility, allocation, and their implications for inter-urban adaptation progress remains limited. In a first-of-its-kind survey, we analyse results from 148 urban administrations across 17 EU countries. Our results reveal widespread funding shortages (>85% of adm
Eyeblink conditioning is mediated by similar cerebellar pathways in humans and animals and is typically investigated using delay or trace protocols. These studies show that humans can easily acquire eyeblink conditioning within a single day of training whereas animals usually require around 3-10 days of acquisition training before they consistently exhibit conditioned responses. We aimed to study
The aim was to describe hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) donors' experiences focusing on information and side effects during the first year after donation. Our prospective Swedish cohort study with adult HSC donors was performed from 2019 to 2022, with questionnaires at four time points from before until 12 months after donation. 173 unrelated and 68 related donors participated, and the majority dona
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Data on distal radius fractures (DRFs) with concomitant metaphyseal distal ulna fractures is limited. We aimed to determine whether a combined DRF and distal ulna fracture (DRUF) predicts a worse patient-reported outcome, measured by the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score, 1 year after injury.METHODS: This prospective registry-based cohort study includ
The long-standing debate in the scientific community about whether ferroelectricity or ferroelasticity is the key property influencing the optoelectronic behavior of metal halide perovskites continues. In this study, we experimentally investigate the temperature dependence of photoluminescence from CsPb(Br1−xClx)3 nanowires and their heterojunctions. Our findings show an enhancement of the exciton
Engelskans utbredning inom högre utbildning i Sverige riskerar att vidmakthålla och förstärka de klassklyftor som redan gynnar studenter från akademikerhem, skriver artikelförfattarna.
BACKGROUND: The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), the standard measure of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), has limitations in reflecting disease severity.RESEARCH QUESTION: Is high hypoxic burden (HB) more strongly associated with major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events (MACCEs) than AHI≥ 30/h?STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: This secondary analysis of the RICCADSA observational cohort included 3
This thesis encompasses an introductory part and five papers related to developing techniques and phantoms required for the further growth of photoacoustic imaging (PAI). In PAI, images are created by detecting acoustic waves followed by the absorption of laser light, enabling high spatial resolution while maintaining high optical contrast. Due to the distinct absorption patterns of various chromo
To further understand the inter-relationship of the familial transmission of major depression (MD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD), we examine, via a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, risks for AUD and MD in 1,244,516 individuals born in Sweden from 1970 to 1990 to intact mother-father pairs as a function of parental diagnoses of MD and/or AUD. Across the nine possible mating types, we
Some things hold value in a way that makes them superior to others, regardless of how much of the lesser values are involved. Philosophers have often found this idea of persistent betterness to be puzzling. In this paper, we argue that superiority belongs to a broader class of persistent value relations, including stubborn varieties of equality and parity, each of which will be exemplified and ana
Humaniora är ett viktigt – men ibland underskattat – vetenskapsområde som behövs för att utbilda studenter för en komplex yrkesvardag och för att möta aktuella samhällsutmaningar. Humanistisk kompetens ger förmåga att tolka, förstå och sätta kunskap i ett kulturellt, historiskt och samhälleligt sammanhang. Humaniora hjälper oss att navigera i komplexa frågor som inte enbart handlar om effektivitet
The introduction to this special issue argues that International Relations (IR) needs to give greater consideration to the existential and psychological implications of the accelerating climate crisis. Starting from debates about the disciplinary suitability of IR to meaningfully tackle an issue as all-encompassing as climate change, this introduction gives a short overview of how the problem of c

With the aim of isolating immunomodulatory compounds from the n-butanol extract of Boehmeria nivea leaves, nine megastigmane compounds were identified. Among these, the structure of the new compound 1, namely, “boehmegaside A”, was established using NMR and HR-ESI-MS, and its absolute configurations were established through ECD calculations and DP4+ analysis using DFT-NMR chemical shift calculatio
Background: Comorbid conditions and breathlessness are associated with poor outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We evaluated the associations of comorbid heart disease and depression/anxiety with breathlessness in daily life among people with COPD. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis from the PRAXIS cohort in central Sweden. Data on patient characteristics and the modified Medi
Background: Carry Life UF is a novel peritoneal dialysis (PD) technology for improved fluid management using steady concentration PD (SCPD). The Carry Life UF treatment starts with a manual peritoneal fill of 1.36% glucose PD fluid, followed by a 5-hour treatment where small amounts of glucose are continuously added to maintain a stable intraperitoneal glucose concentration. A recent in-center cli
The study examines trends in part-time employment among school students (15–20 years old) in Sweden. Using data from the Swedish Labor Force Survey (2006–2019) and population-based registries, the article analyzes developments in employment rates and work patterns. The results indicate a rapid increase in part-time work, particularly in the hospitality sector, which underscores how young student-w
Huntington’s disease is a progressive, untreatable neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the Huntingtin gene. Next to neurodegeneration, altered immune activation is involved in disease progression. Since central nervous system inflammation and dysfunction of immune cells are recognized as driving characteristics, immunomodulation might represent an additional therapeutic strategy. Sh
This article examines the formation of teenage students as workers through their participation in low-status service jobs, building on Weeks’ theorization of the contemporary work ethic. Based on 40 interviews with working teenagers in Sweden, the analysis explores how they use narratives of working to ‘gain experience’ and ‘earn extra money’ in response to the cultural imperative of constructing
