Objective: Real-life management of hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unclear. Methods: A survey was conducted in 2023 by the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) to assess management of CKD patients referred to ESH-Hypertension Excellence Centres (ESH-ECs) at first referral visit. The questionnaire contained 64 questions with which ESH-ECs representatives were asked to e

Quantitatively identifying the impact of climatic and underlying surface condition changes on runoff is crucial for the efficient utilization of water resources and understanding hydroclimatic variability processes. This study aims to employ both Grid-RCCC-WBM model and Fu's equation based on Budyko hypothesis to quantitatively analyze the spatial patterns of runoff changes, driving forces, and up

In late October 2023, the storm Babet struck the southeast coast of Sweden, high waves and extreme water levels caused significant damage to infrastructure. Simrishamn’s central harbour was particularly affected, with waves smashing and destroying the as- phalt on the southern pier. The revetment covering the entire seaward edge of the pier is estimated to tolerate a significant wave height of up

More than a quarter of all meteorites falling on Earth today originate from the breakup of the L-chondrite parent body (LCPB) ∼470 Ma ago, the largest documented asteroid breakup in the past ∼3 Ga. The event had a profound impact on the inner Solar System, resulting in an orders-of-magnitude increase in L-chondritic material in mid-Ordovician sediments on Earth. Here we show based on Ordovician st

Background: In light of increasing therapeutic options, risk stratification of advanced cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is gaining clinical importance to avoid ineffective treatments. Liver stiffness as a marker of hypervolemia and hepatic congestion might predict mortality in advanced ATTR-CA and allow to identify patients at highest risk. Methods: Proven ATTR-CA patients underwent re

Combined mobility has increasingly been promoted as a way to use the combined strengths of cycling and public transport to enable sustainable mobility patterns. In the Greater Stockholm Area, combined mobility has worked its way into strategic regional policy documents. This study, departing from a collaborative planning perspective, uses qualitative methods to investigate how key actors in the St

The historically rapid growth of modern cities has a tearing effect on our planet, which requires a systematic transformation from linear to circular resource usage and consumption. Scientists and decision makers world-wide propose Circular Cities as a part of the solution, but empirical evidence and theoretical models of their practical implementation is lacking. This study explores the framework

Studiens syfte är att undersöka vad som motiverar unga vuxna att använda sig av sociala medier, hur deras användande ser ut, vilket typ av innehåll de får upp och deras upplevelser kring det innehåll som presenteras för dem. Studien utgår främst från den kvalitativa metoden fokusgruppsintervjuer, och det transkriberade innehållet analyserades sedan genom kodningsmetoden Summary-based reporting. Fo

The legalization of marijuana in the United States has prompted extensive debate and research, particularly concerning its impacts on various societal aspects. This study examines the influence of marijuana legalization on university education by comparing three Pacific Northwest states: Oregon (OR) and Washington (WA), which have legalized marijuana, and Idaho (ID), which maintains prohibition. T

Accurate monitoring of daily precipitation is essential for many applications, such as simulation and prediction of watershed water-related disasters. However, precipitation data from satellite and gauge-based precipitation products face challenges in capturing true observations because of their large uncertainties. To improve daily precipitation estimates, this study proposed a new merging framew

Values have been discussed both in relation to the normative character of Ecological Economics and, albeit implicitly, in conceptions of human beings. Nevertheless, a conceptualisation of individually-held values remains underdeveloped. Scholars who do engage on a conceptual level tend to focus on the values of nature in the context of ecosystem services, with less emphasis on: (a) more generally-

Aims: To examine whether vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) precedes type 2 diabetes and to quantify the possible time period between VVC and subsequent diabetes. Material and Methods: We conducted a nationwide retrospective primary healthcare study including 1 838 929 women aged 35–65 years in Sweden (2007–2018). Cox regression models were used to examine associations between VVC and type 2 diabetes,

Objectives: Previous studies found no or weak positive associations between height and lung cancer (LC) risk, with differences between sexes. Few studies stratified the association by smoking status and LC subtype. This prospective study investigated the association between height and risks of overall LC and LC subtypes (i.e., adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, large ce

The development of a model of carbon oxidation has engaged researchers for decades. Yet many outstanding questions remain due to the inability to experimentally study the details of the oxidation. Today, novel techniques such as environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM), allowing for in-situ nanoscale observations of the oxidation process, can help illuminate some of these questions. I

Cykeln ses idag som ett transportmedel som har stor potential i framtidens hållbara stad, där bättre hälsa, mindre klimatpåverkan och förbättrad ekonomi för samhällen lyfts som stora fördelar. Malmö stad har som mål att cykeln ska vara ett självklart färdmedelsval för alla i Malmö och har ambitiösa mål för att öka cykelns färdmedelandel. Cykeln har dock under lång tid med bakgrund i den modernistiThe City of Malmö aims to promote cycling as a sustainable mode of transport for everyone. However, due to the dominance of cars and motorized transport in the city's planning tradition, cycling has been marginalized, especially in areas built during the Million Programme. Simultaneously, a big challenge for the city of Malmö is the social inequality between different areas that exists today.

Jubileumsparken is a park located in the upcoming neighborhood Frihamnen in Gothenburg and is the result of planners and the political will to develop urban green spaces for the residents in the area. In Jubileumsparken in Gothenburg, a method called platsbyggnad is being used by planners. The work is based on connecting citizens with the site during the planning of the new district in Frihamnen b

We are now seeing the development of a new generation of synchrotron radiation sources, the seeded, short-wavelength Free Electron Lasers (FELs), which are capable of driving the radiation to even higher intensities, and with new capabilities such as longitudinal coherence and ultra-short pulses. The Workshop on High-harmonic Seeding for Present and Future Short Wavelength Free-Electron Lasers, ho

Hydrological models are generally calibrated and validated using a suite of well-known statistical metrics, which sometimes lack clear connection and tailoring to the local users’ need and therefore limits the evaluation, especially in the case of global climate services. Therefore, in this study, two types of application-based evaluation metrics are introduced, addressing (i) temporal matching of
