We investigate how selection of psychiatric cases by phenotypic criteria can alter the strength and specificity of their genetic risk by examining samples from national Swedish registries for five disorders: major depression (MD, N = 158,557), drug use disorder (DUD, N = 69,841), bipolar disorder (BD, N = 13,530)) ADHD (N = 54,996) and schizophrenia (N = 11,227)). We maximized the family genetic r

Twelve new, presumably apomictic species of Hieracium sect. Tridentata, namely H. arcanum, H. versifrons, H. hyperoptum, H. irrugantifrons, H. karolinae, H. leucophlebium, H. melanostigma, H. neomixopolium, H. oxyodontum, H. rostockense, H. subcreperum and H. verecundum are described from the Götaland region of southern Sweden. Apart from morphological descriptions, illustrations and maps showing

"Transformative Encounters" is a podcast series dedicated to the exploration and unpacking the concept "performative encounters" within the realm of contemporary performance and how it can be understood. This series forms an integral part of the knowledge dissemination deriving from the artistic research project How Little is Enough? that is centered on sustainability and social change, conducted

Annual social insects are an integral functional group of organisms, particularly in temperate environments. An emblematic part of their annual cycle is the social phase, during which the colony-founding queen rears workers that later assist her in rearing sexual progeny (gynes and drones). In many annual social insects, such as species of bees, wasps, and other groups, developing larvae are provi

Informal settlements and settlements of displaced communities (e.g., humanitarian settlements) provide crucial shelter for people, including those negatively impacted by natural hazards and human-caused crises. However, these settlements are also prone to fire as a ‘secondary incident’. This occurrence can be influenced by the use of flammable materials in the building construction and unsafe fire

A performative Encounter with a stranger in their private home. A solitary performance in 5 homes in Reykjavík. A part of Reykjavik Arts FestivalThe work is done in collaboration with 5 hosts, a cross-section of Reykjavik residents.You are a guest in the real home of an absent stranger. At home, handwritten letters are waiting to guide you forward, ask questions, set tasks for you, introduce you to another world, solve mysteries. In this way, you have a close conversation with a person who is not there.In FjarVera, a group of people with d

Although the associations between climate, food conditions and reproduction in the wild has been the focus of numerous studies in recent years, we still know little about population level responses to climate and fluctuating food conditions in long-lived species and during longer periods of time. Here, we assessed the relative importance of the abundance of the main prey in winter (small mammals),

A site specific and participatory performance about what it means to belong. Performed in Hrísey, an island off the north coast of Iceland, with the participation of the islanders.Eyja is a participatory piece about what it means to belong. The work is located in Hrísey, a fragile settlement where life and living conditions are fragile. Life on the island reflects the global projects facing the world in 2020. Visitors are invited to the island to examine their own ideas about self and society and about time and place.We sail from Árskógssandi and the work begins when you ge

This research explores how blue-green solutions (BGS) take part in various everyday situations in the Augustenborg neighborhood of Malmö, Sweden, where BGS were introduced over twenty years ago to control urban flooding. The research applies a relational perspective, looking at everyday life as something that is contextually formed and given meaning in relation to the socio-materiality of the envi

CD169+ resident macrophages in lymph nodes of breast cancer patients are for unknown reasons associated with a beneficial prognosis. This contrasts CD169+ macrophages present in primary breast tumors (CD169+ TAMs), that correlate with a worse prognosis. We recently showed that these CD169+ TAMs were associated with tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) and Tregs in breast cancer. Here, we show that

Introduction: Independent mobility is every child's right and has implications for their health, wellbeing, and development. This scoping review addresses children's needs and experiences of light conditions in their everyday outdoor life. The review examines peer-reviewed scientific literature that analyses associations between different light conditions and children's independent mobility (CIM)

A performative encounter with the more-than-human. A work in progress presentaion.The piece is the fourth and the concluding part of an artistic research project “How Little is Enough?” conducted by Steinunn Knúts Önnudóttir at Malmö Theatre Academy, Lund University. The project aims to develop sustainable performance methods through transformative encounters in relation-specific performances, with a particular focus on how minimal and sustainable the framework can be. In this

Strings is a participative performance that explores the driving forces of change and what personal motivations humans have for pursuing their vision. The site of the performance is the University of Lund with its atmospheric environment, history and diverse hubs of knowledgemaking in Lund and Malmö. The hosts are an international group of researchers from all faculties of Lund University covering

Approximately one-fifth of new parents struggle with unwanted intrusive thoughts (UITs) about intentionally harming their child. This study evaluated the initial efficacy, feasibility and acceptability of a novel online self-guided cognitive intervention for new parents with distressing UITs. Self-recruited parents (N = 43, 93% female, age 23–43 years) of children 0–3 years reporting daily distres

Background: Smartwatches are commonly capable to record a lead-I-like electrocardiogram (ECG) and perform a photoplethysmography (PPG)-based atrial fibrillation (AF) detection. Wearable technologies repeatedly face the challenge of frequent premature beats, particularly in target populations for screening of AF. Objective: To investigate the potential diagnostic benefit of six-lead ECG compared to

Background: After a series of standardized reporting systems in cytopathology, the Sydney system was recently introduced to address the need for reproducibility and standardization in lymph node cytopathology. Since then, the risk of malignancy for the categories of the Sydney system has been explored by several studies, but no studies have yet examined the interobserver reproducibility of the Syd

Tilt table testing (TTT) has been used for decades to study short-term blood pressure (BP) and heart rate regulation during orthostatic challenges. TTT provokes vasovagal reflex in many syncope patients as a background of widespread use. Despite the availability of evidence-based practice syncope guidelines, proper application and interpretation of TTT in the day-to-day care of syncope patients re

Recent research has revealed that low-energy offset polymer solar cells (PSCs) are capable of a power conversion efficiency of over 19%. However, it is unclear how energy offsets and the charge photogeneration process are correlated. Herein, the effect of energy offsets on charge photogeneration dynamics for Y-series molecules (Y5, Y6, Y10, and BTP-4F-12)-based PSCs with the variations of the lowe

BACKGROUND: Pain is a global health concern with substantial societal costs and limits the activity participation of individuals. The prevalence of pain is estimated to be high among individuals with cerebral palsy (CP).OBJECTIVES: To estimate the association between pain and labor outcomes for adults with CP in Sweden.METHODS: A longitudinal cohort study based on data from Swedish population-base
