We describe the design and clinical utility of a digital tool aimed to increase the quality of life for chronic pain patients. PainDrainer™ is a drug-free, self-management tool, powered by artificial intelligence that adapts to the self-reported activities of each individual patient, resulting in a truly patient-centric support. The tool was tested in an open label, one-arm pilot study performed i
This chapter examines the integration of living materials into architectural design, focusing on the use of mycelium composites formed through fungal biotransformation. As architecture faces increasing demands for environmental responsibility, material innovation has turned toward biological systems capable of replacing high-impact construction materials. Mycelium, the filamentous body of fungi, o
Waste sorting is a cognitively demanding task with high environmental stakes. To support research on the categorisation and decision processes underlying waste sorting behaviour, this paper introduces an evaluated stimulus set of 790 images of naturally occurring waste items. The images were sampled from Danish and Swedish household waste, visually standardised, and evaluated by 526 Swedish partic
This study investigates the long-term social consequences of early-life exposure to adverseconditions in nineteenth-century Poznań. Using linked individual-level records from thePoznań Historical Population Database for birth cohorts 1830–1855, we examine howprenatal stress, infant mortality, early-childhood disease burden, and fluctuations in rye pricesinfluenced the likelihood of marriage and in
A key aspect of imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism is frontier-making. Frontiers are essential for ambitions of appropriation and extraction. This paper explores the discursive practices of frontier-making in Scandinavia including the conceptualization of parts of this region as empty space and ripe for exploitation, as wild, unruly and in need of domestication. These regions have historical
Breastfeeding confers a wide range of benefits to mothers and children, and in many contextsmay continue for several years after the birth of a child. As a result, breastfeeding duringpregnancy (BDP) is a common occurrence throughout low- and middle-income countries.Nevertheless, yet there has been little research into its association with the health of breastfedchildren or the outcomes of the pre
Studies showing that large-scale public health interventions in early life have lastingconsequences are still scarce and rarely disclose the mechanisms. In 1931–1946, the Swedishstate reformed the childbirth institutional system that led to the openings of the new maternitywards and to the gradual decline in home deliveries assisted by midwives. Maternity wardsoffered improved conditions for a mot
Abstract – Background: Cytological examination of a fine-needle aspirate (FNA) is a minimally invasive modality that is increasingly used in the diagnosis of lymphoma. Flow cytometry and other ancillary tests make an important contribution to the diagnostic value of FNAs of lymphoid lesions. This review follows the recent publication of the first edition of the WHO Reporting System for Lymph Node,
The high prevalence (>5%) of autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIHT) provides a unique opportunity to dissect genetic contributions to systemic and organ-specific autoimmunity. Here we performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 81,718 AIHT cases in FinnGen and the UK Biobank, identifying 418 independent signals (P < 5 × 10−8). At 48 of these loci, a protein-coding variant is, or is highly corre
Urban meteorology, the study of atmospheric phenomena in urban areas, is vital for understanding the dynamic interactions between rapid urbanization and environmental changes. Over the past two decades (2004–2024), urban heat islands (UHIs), extreme rainfall, pollution, and temperature anomalies have intensified, adversely affecting human health, infrastructure, and ecosystems worldwide. The prese
BackgroundImmune-related hepatitis (ir-hepatitis) ranks among the most frequent adverse events of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Limited knowledge exists regarding the incidence, characteristics, and treatment of patients having an inadequate response to initial therapy with steroids. Characterizing ir-hepatitis phenotypes and treatment responses can provide valuable insights for guiding tre
Methacrylated Pluronic triblock copolymers are widely used as photo-cross-linkable hydrogels, yet the effect of terminal methacrylation on self-assembly and thermoreversible gelation prior to cross-linking remains poorly understood. Here, we systematically investigate how the degree of methacrylation influences micellization, micelle packing, and gelation in Pluronic F127 using differential scanni
Technological advances in computed tomography (CT) have highlighted limitations of traditional dose descriptors such as computed tomography dose indexvol and dose-length product, particularly for wide-beam and modulated acquisitions. This study investigates a CT-specific, operational air kerma–area product derived from time-resolved measurements using small solid-state dosemeters mounted at the ga
Min avhandling är en undersökning av civilsamhälleliga aktörers vardagliga erfarenheter av hur väpnad konflikt, utvinningsindustri och motstånd har format det colombianska Andinoamazonia under landets pågående fredsbyggande process. Trots ett tjugotal fredsavtal och undertecknandet av ett övergripande avtal 2016 har Colombias långvariga väpnade konflikt inte upphört. Det colombianska AndinoamazoniMy thesis is an inquiry into the daily experiences of civil society actors in relation to how armed conflict, extractivism, and resistance shaped the Colombian Andinoamazonia during the country’s current peacebuilding cycle. Despite two dozen peace agreements, and the signing of a comprehensive agreement in 2016, Colombia’s protracted armed conflict did not end. The Colombian Andinoamazonia, a bio
Several scholarly works have identified the weakness of mainstream social science and the humanities to theorize racism. The sociology of absence grasps the systematic exclusion of specific experiences and specific voices within social theory. We are inspired by these contributions in our exploration of the role and the location of the category of residents racialized as not belonging to the Swedi
The fall of 2022, with the election success of a coalition of right wing and ethnoracist parties, marks the transition from a racialized to a racist state in Sweden. We analyse the discourses of three welfare projects in Swedish racial capitalism - Keynesian, Neoliberal, and ethnoracist - in relation to safety/security.Methodologically, we use CDA analysing elite institutional texts (party documen
