Medical Nature-Based Rehabilitation Program for Individuals with Exhaustion Syndrome : Changes in Quality of Life, Exhaustion Symptoms and Overall Health

Stress-related health problems have increased sharply over the last two decades and have become a serious issue at all levels of society. In the Jönköping Region in southern Sweden, a nature-based rehabilitation (NBR) program for adults with Exhaustion Syndrome has been developed and then implemented into the Swedish National Healthcare System. The main aim of this study was to investigate the eff

Storage Assignment using Nested Annealing and Hamming Distances

The assignment of products to storage locations significantly impacts the efficiency of warehouse operations. We propose a multi-phase optimizer for a Storage Location Assignment Problem (SLAP) where solution quality is based on a distance estimate of future-forecasted order picking. Candidate assignments are first sampled using a Markov Chain accept/reject method. Future-forecasted pick-rounds ar

Nationwide Assessment of Patient Trajectories in Mantle Cell Lymphoma : The Swedish MCL complete Project

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B-cell malignancy currently considered incurable. Although some patients obtain prolonged remission after first-line chemoimmunotherapy, many will need several treatment lines. Here, we present a nationwide assessment of treatment strategies, time to progression and survival in MCL. All patients diagnosed with MCL 2006-2018 were identified in the Swedish Lymphoma Re

The Presidential Symposium at the International Congress of Neuroethology 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal

In this special issue of articles from leading neuroethologists—all of whom gave outstanding presentations within the Presidential Symposium of the 2022 International Congress of Neuroethology held in Lisbon, Portugal—we learn about the role of cryptochrome molecules in the magnetic sense of animals, how honeybees construct their honeycombs, why fish eyes are built the way they are in species from

Global change scenarios in coastal river deltas and their sustainable development implications

Deltas play a critical role in the ambition to achieve global sustainable development given their relatively large shares in population and productive croplands, as well as their precarious low-lying position between upstream river basin development and rising seas. The large pressures on these systems risk undermining the persistence of delta societies, economies, and ecosystems. We analyse possi

On the micelle formation of DNAJB6b

The human chaperone DNAJB6b increases the solubility of proteins involved in protein aggregation diseases and suppresses the nucleation of amyloid structures. Due to such favourable properties, DNAJB6b has gained increasing attention over the past decade. The understanding of how DNAJB6b operates on a molecular level may aid the design of inhibitors against amyloid formation. In this work, fundame

TOI-1055 b: Neptunian planet characterised with HARPS, TESS, and CHEOPS

Context. TOI-1055 is a Sun-like star known to host a transiting Neptune-sized planet on a 17.5-day orbit (TOI-1055 b). Radial velocity (RV) analyses carried out by two independent groups using nearly the same set of HARPS spectra have provided measurements of planetary masses that differ by ∼2σ. Aims. Our aim in this work is to solve the inconsistency in the published planetary masses by significa

Hint of an exocomet transit in the CHEOPS light curve of HD 172555

HD 172555 is a young (∼20 Myr) A7V star surrounded by a 10 au wide debris disk suspected to be replenished partly by collisions between large planetesimals. Small evaporating transiting bodies, that is exocomets, have also been detected in this system by spectroscopy. After β Pictoris, this is another example of a system possibly witnessing a phase of the heavy bombardment of planetesimals. In suc

Genetics of circulating inflammatory proteins identifies drivers of immune-mediated disease risk and therapeutic targets

Circulating proteins have important functions in inflammation and a broad range of diseases. To identify genetic influences on inflammation-related proteins, we conducted a genome-wide protein quantitative trait locus (pQTL) study of 91 plasma proteins measured using the Olink Target platform in 14,824 participants. We identified 180 pQTLs (59 cis, 121 trans). Integration of pQTL data with eQTL an

Mosaic Loss of Chromosome Y Is Associated With Functional Outcome After Ischemic Stroke

BACKGROUND: Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (LOY) is associated with cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases in men, and genetic predisposition to LOY is associated with poor poststroke outcome. We, therefore, tested the hypothesis that LOY itself is associated with functional outcome after ischemic stroke. METHODS: The study comprised male patients with ischemic stroke from the cohort studies S

Reversible electroporation caused by pulsed electric field – Opportunities and challenges for the food sector

Background: The application of Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) to food may result in reversible or irreversible electroporation of cell membranes, depending on whether cell homeostasis is restored after resealing. Restoration of homeostasis upon reversible electroporation implies the recovery of the pre-pulse transmembrane potential and the restoration of cell metabolic functions. Enhanced membrane pe

Yttrande för remissen: Genomförandet av minimilönedirektivet (SOU 2023:36)

Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Lunds universitet instämmer i huvudsak i utredningens slutsatser, men anser att regeringen i samarbete med arbetsmarknadens parter bör överväga åtgärder om kollektivavtalens täckningsgrad skulle börja sjunka och långt innan den kommer ned på tröskelvärdet 80%. Den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen vilar, förutom på en hög kollektivavtalstäckning, också på en hög o

The Rho-kinase inhibitor Y27632 promotes ureteral relaxation in an in vivo rat model for partial ureteral obstruction

Purpose: Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intravenous Y27632 (a ROK inhibitor) on intra-ureteral pressures and on blood pressure in an in vivo rat model for unilateral partial ureteral obstruction (PUO). Methods: 15 Male Sprague Dawley rats were used. Under isofluran anesthesia, saline was continuously infused via polyethylene (PE)-10 catheters inserted in the ureters beneath the ki

Spatiotemporal heterogeneity of the shared e-scooter–public transport relationships in Stockholm and Helsinki

Although shared e-scooters have displayed both complementary and competitive relationships with public transport, less attention has been paid to investigating the spatiotemporal variations of such relationships, and how the relationships are associated with the urban built environment. To bridge the gaps, we first explore the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of such relationships by conducting a comp

Radiomics-Derived Brain Age Predicts Functional Outcome after Acute Ischemic Stroke

Background and ObjectivesWhile chronological age is one of the most influential determinants of poststroke outcomes, little is known of the impact of neuroimaging-derived biological "brain age."We hypothesized that radiomics analyses of T2-FLAIR images texture would provide brain age estimates and that advanced brain age of patients with stroke will be associated with cardiovascular risk factors a

Semi-Conservative Treatment Versus Radical Surgery in Abdominal Aortic Graft and Endograft Infections

Objective: Abdominal aortic graft and endograft infections (AGIs) are rare complications following aortic surgery. Radical surgery (RS) with resection of the infected graft and reconstruction with extra-anatomical bypass or in situ reconstruction is the preferred therapy. For patients unfit for RS, a semi-conservative (SC), graft preserving strategy is possible. This paper aimed to compare surviva

Utvärdering av SI-verksamheten vid Lunds universitet 2022/23

Enkelt uttryckt är Samverkansinlärning (SI) en studiecirkel kopplat till en utmanande kurs. SI leds av en senior student som utformar läraktiviteter där studenterna arbetar i grupper med att förklara och förtydliga svårt kursmaterial. Målsättningen med SI, förutom förbättrade prestationer i den aktuella kursen, är att studenterna skall utveckla goda studiestrategier och bli mer självständiga i sit
