Using the EU as case study, we simulate the impact of border carbon adjustments on agri-food markets. While border carbon adjustments alleviate adverse carbon price impacts on EU agricultural competitiveness and emission leakage, our simulation results also reveal that (i) border carbon adjustments may diminish domestic mitigation efforts, thereby partly offsetting benefits from reduced emission l
Background: Cognitive impairment in trauma-affected refugees is often unassessed due to the absence of suitable cross-cultural neuropsychological measures, the high prevalence of psychiatric symptoms, and the need for interpreter mediation. This poses both a clinical challenge and a health inequality for trauma-affected refugees who are left without access to much needed rehabilitation. Untreated
Universities worldwide have increased their competition for the best students and employees. Consequently, business schools are pressured to demonstrate excellence and differentiate themselves through brand building. One essential part of branding is the quality narratives that universities present to the public. We study the presentation of quality in Nordic business schools. Data concerning the
As a prominent category of side-channel attacks (SCAs), plaintext-checking (PC) oracle-based SCAs offer the advantages of generality and operational simplicity on a targeted device. At TCHES 2023, Rajendran et al. and Tanaka et al. independently proposed the multiple-valued (MV) PC oracle, significantly reducing the required number of queries (a.k.a., traces) in the PC oracle. However, in practice
This study examines the production of morphosyntax in Swedish-speaking children diagnosed with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Data from a Sentence Repetition Task was used to investigate if there is an implicational order according to Processability Theory (PT) in grammatical structures produced by school-age children with DLD. PT is a cognitive theory of language development that assumes
DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) have become integral to early-stage drug discovery, yielding active compounds and extensive labeled datasets for machine learning (ML)-based prediction of bioactive molecules. However, the information content of DECL selection data remains scarcely explored. This study systematically investigates for the first time the prevalence of false negatives and the in
Individuals with immigrant background generally perform less well in school than non-immigrants. Performing well in school may decrease the risk of substance use disorder (SUD). We investigated whether higher school performance is associated with a decreased risk of SUD in early adulthood among immigrants and non-immigrants and whether subsequent educational attainment and employment status partly
By age 40 years, over 90% of adults with Down syndrome have Alzheimer's disease pathology and most progress to dementia. Despite having few systemic vascular risk factors, individuals with Down syndrome have elevated cerebrovascular disease markers that track with the clinical progression of Alzheimer's disease, suggesting a role of cerebrovascular disease that is hypothesized to be mediated by in
Gout is a chronic disease that is caused by an innate immune response to deposited monosodium urate crystals in the setting of hyperuricemia. Here, we provide insights into the molecular mechanism of the poorly understood inflammatory component of gout from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 2.6 million people, including 120,295 people with prevalent gout. We detected 377 loci and 410 genet
BACKGROUND: Balloon-guide catheters (BGC) have been associated with improved procedural and functional outcomes following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in multiple observational studies. Recently the PROTECT-MT trial challenged this benefit, showing worse functional outcomes when using BGCs. This study aims to assess the association between BGC-use and procedural and functional outcomes in a lar
BACKGROUND: Nimodipine improves outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) through mitigation of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Most studies are based on a treatment duration of 21 days. At our institution, clinical practice is to administer nimodipine for 14 days, regardless of bleeding severity. Treatment is prolonged if signs or symptoms of DCI occurs. The present study aims to r
INTRODUCTION: Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic motor or vocal tic disorder (CTD) are neurodevelopmental disorders associated with functional impairment and reduced quality of life. Behavioral therapy (BT) is an effective treatment, but lack of experienced practitioners makes it hard for patients to receive appropriate help. One approach to bridge the gap between demand and availability is to off
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The incidence of type 1 diabetes increased during the pandemic in various countries. SARS-CoV-2 infections may trigger the development of type 1 diabetes, but the evidence is inconclusive. This study aimed to assess trends in type 1 diabetes incidence between 2007 and 2023, and to quantify the association between SARS-CoV-2 infections and the risk for developing type 1 diabetes.ME
Objective: To design a dynamic prediction model for estimating the time of progression from a single glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody (GADA) to multiple islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in children, exploring different longitudinally measured risk variables. Research Design and Methods: GADA-positive children (n = 379) participating in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in
Background: The transition to sustainable energy systems requires a deeper understanding of how households experience and negotiate heating practices over time. In Sweden, where residential heating remains a major source of energy use, heating systems are embedded in daily routines, shaped by evolving technologies, social norms, and material contexts. This study draws on the Energy Cultures Framew
Syftet med denna rapport är att belysa potentialen i offentlig upphandling, för att främja ett mer inkluderande och jämställt näringsliv, genom att stärka kvinnors företagande i Sverige. Offentlig upphandling är ett betydande verktyg för den offentliga sektorn, inte bara för att anskaffa varor, tjänster och entreprenader, utan också som ett potentiellt styrmedel för att uppnå samhällspolitiska mål
