The presence of epistemic uncertainties in probabilistic modeling of structural performance implies that not only one but a multitude of possible models should be considered. When such models are utilized in the context of reliability and risk analysis, this does not pose any particular problem. In fact, epistemic and aleatory uncertainties may be treated without differentiation. However, in the c
Den här studien undersökte hur rapportskapande beteenden, operationaliserade genom HEAAR-principerna (Ärlighet, Empati, Anpassning, Autonomi och Reflektion), samt övertalningstekniker (alpha och omega) predicerar informationslämnande under högrealistisk militär förhörsträning. Sjuttiosex timmar av inspelade förhör (25 krigsfångar och 6 förhörsledare under utbildning) från en högrealistisk militär
Ultracold polar molecular gases provide a powerful platform for exploring quantum many-body physics with strong, long-range, and anisotropic interactions. In this work, we develop an extended Gross-Pitaevskii approach tailored to bosonic dipolar molecules under single-microwave shielding, incorporating their effective interactions and adapting the quantum fluctuation corrections. We benchmark this
Objectives: To investigate the relation between adherence to dietary recommendations, the quantified intake of the components of these recommendations, and the risk of developing giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods: Participants in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study cohort who subsequently developed GCA were identified through register linkage and validated in a structured review. Four controls, matc
Background/Objectives: Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is the gold standard for measuring implant migration, with CT-RSA increasingly used as an alternative. To evaluate CT-RSA, it is important to assess data that include the surrounding soft tissues, rather than data from simplified phantoms, while also avoiding unnecessary radiation from multiple scans. This study proposes a method for generati
BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer-related arm lymphedema (BCRAL) is essential to prevent progression. Local tissue water (LTW) can be assessed using the tissue dielectric constant (TDC), enabling detection before an increase of arm volume occurs. However, knowledge of the variation of LTW during cancer treatment and appropriate LTW thresholds for early detection of BCRAL i
IntroductionAlthough transcranial sonography (TCS) assessing hyperechogenic substantia nigra (SN+) as biomarker for Parkinsońs disease (PD) has been introduced elsewhere, the clinical relevance and accuracy in a Swedish population is still unknown.MethodsThis retrospective single-center study included 74 patients with predominantly early-stage parkinsonism at first visit who had been examined by T
Introduction: After resuscitation from out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), mechanical ventilation (MV) and respiratory management are fundamental to support patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and to minimise secondary brain injury. Best practices for MV and association with clinical outcomes in patients with OHCA remain unclear. Methods and analysis: This protocol describes a pre-planned
This book explores the impact of migration on economic growth and entrepreneurship in Sweden. By looking at economic and migration trends over the last centuries, it examines the sectors, industries, and geographical locations where entrepreneurship has taken place, the economic and social impact of entrepreneurship, and the specifics of migrant entrepreneurship. Trends within Sweden are compared
Merouani and Perrin explore the representation of women inventors in historical records and discuss some of the potential biases that influence our current understanding of history. By examining a comprehensive database of nineteenth-century French patents as a case study, the authors find that women patented more frequently than contemporary biographical records suggest. Further, the authors illu
We study feedback-driven cold dark matter core creation in the edge suite of radiation-hydrodynamical dwarf galaxy simulations. Understanding this process is crucial when using observed dwarf galaxies to constrain the particle nature of dark matter. While previous studies have shown that the stellar mass to halo mass ratio (M∗/M200) determines the extent of core creation, we find that in low-mass
This study investigates coupled reduced-order modeling to develop efficient methods for analyzing the vibro-acoustic response of geometrically nonlinear thin structures interacting with acoustic fluids, such as gas or liquid. Projection-based model reduction is adopted for the structural and fluid domain. To consider geometric nonlinearity, the reduced nonlinear restoring forces of the elastic str
Background: Students can practice learning in an interprofessional environment during their education in order to enable a well-functioning cooperation between healthcare professions. The aim of interprofessional learning (IPL) is for all students to contribute with their expertise and work in teams under supervision, which has been shown to improve their understanding of their own and each other’
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030) promotes shared responsibility as a foundational principle for effective disaster governance, emphasizing the involvement of states, communities, private actors, and civil society. However, the principle faces criticism for its conceptual vagueness and practical limitations. This paper develops and applies a structured four-dimensional f
Sun-like stars are well represented in the solar neighbourhood but are currently underutilized, with many studies of chemical and kinematic evolution focusing on red giants (which can be observed further away) or turn-off stars (which have well-measured ages). Recent surveys (e.g. GALAH) provide spectra for large numbers of nearby Sun-like stars, which provides an opportunity to apply our newly de
In the summer of 2018, both fire and rescue services and volunteers fought against the extensive wildfires that spread over the northern parts of Sweden. The challenges were many and one of the most obvious was the lack of resources provided by the state, both material and human. This lack of official resources, together with the long distances that characterize the rural northern parts of Sweden,
Climate change is increasing the risk for extreme weather events such as heatwaves, including in northern countries like Sweden, which until recent years has had limited experiences of coping with extreme heat. Based on predictions that Sweden will be more frequently exposed to heatwaves in the future, it is imperative to increase the societal resilience and adaptation measures. This paper present
Following COVID-19, the responsibility principle guiding emergency preparedness and crisis management in Scandinavian countries has once again faced criticism. In order to make sense of the current discussions surrounding this principle, this study uses Bacchi's framework of “What's the problem represented to be” to explore its development and perceived problems and effects in Denmark, Norway, and
