Presentationen bjuder på utdrag ut en historisk genomgång av folkmusikforskning i Norden. Syftet är att gå bortom de olika teman som utforskats (till exempel fiolens och dragspelets historia eller folkliga sångtekniker) och även synliggöra de ideologiska trender som vävts in i forskningsprojekten, såväl i design som genomförande och i resultat – eller förväntat resultat. Som ett led i det pågående

Introduction: Healthcare in Sweden is moving towards a more person-centred approach in which patients are respected as capable individuals with unique needs. Partnership, the co-creation of health plans, and documentationare core components of this approach. The ambulance service is medical- and task-oriented, possibly placing it in conflict with the goals of person-centred care (PCC).

Purpose: We applied a previously established common T-score metric for patient-reported and performance-based physical function (PF), offering the unique opportunity to directly compare measurement type-specific patterns of associations with potential laboratory-based, psychosocial, sociodemographic, and health-related determinants in hemodialysis patients. Methods: We analyzed baseline data from

BackgroundIt remains unclear as to why some individuals at low risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) develop severe coronary atherosclerosis, while those at high CVD risk may remain free from coronary atherosclerosis.PurposeUsing Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA), we aimed to identify factors associated with absence and severe coronary atherosclerosis in subjects from the general popu

Reconstructing critical-sized craniofacial bone defects is a global healthcare challenge. Current methods, like autologous bone transplantation, face limitations. Bone tissue engineering offers an alternative to autologous bone, with traditional approaches focusing on stimulating osteogenesis via the intramembranous ossification (IMO) pathway. However, IMO falls short in addressing larger defects,

Corrosion of steel components embedded in concrete is detrimental to the structural integrity and their intrinsic function,such as the leak-tightness of containment liners in nuclear reactor containment buildings. Detection of embedded linercorrosion is a challenging task due to the concrete’s heterogeneity and the large dimensions of containment buildings.This initial study explores early-stage d

Den växande efterfrågan på hållbar och miljövänlig elproduktion, tillsammans med globala osäkerheter, understryker behovet för nationer att uppnå självförsörjande produktion av el. Kärnkraft, som står för cirka 30% av Sveriges elproduktion, spelar en avgörande roll i att leverera fossilfri el. Eftersom många kärnkraftverk närmar sig slutet av sin planerade livslängd är det avgörande att förlänga dThe growing demand for sustainable electricity production, coupled with global uncertainties, highlights the need for nations to achieve self-sufficiency in producing electricity. Nuclear power, which provides around 30% of Sweden's electricity, plays a critical role in delivering fossil-free electricity. As many nuclear plants are near the end of their designated lifespans, extending their operat

Common wall lizards (Podarcis muralis) in Italy show a striking variation in body coloration across the landscape, with highly exaggerated black and green colors in hot and dry climates and brown and white colors in cool and wet climates. Males are more intensely colored than females, and previous work has suggested that the maintenance of variation in coloration across the landscape reflects clim

Purpose: To describe a novel technique for optimal orientation and accurate deployment of aortic endografts during complex endovascular aortic repair (cEVAR). Technique: After establishing the femoral access in the standard fashion, a long large-bore dilator is inserted before the cEVAR delivery system. The dilator is advanced beyond the renovisceral segment noticing the degree of axial rotation.

Forest Canopy Height (FCH) is a crucial parameter that offers valuable insights into forest structure. Spaceborne LiDAR missions provide accurate FCH measurements, but a significant challenge is their point-based measurements lacking spatial continuity. This study integrated ICESat-2’s ATL08-derived FCH values with multi-temporal and multi-source remote sensing (RS) datasets to generate continuous

Objective: To examine cardiovascular risk factors in 40-year-old participants in the health screening program targeted health dialogues (THDs). Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: 99 Swedish healthcare centers. Intervention: Metabolic risk factors and health behaviors were assessed. THDs were provided. Subjects: 1831 (62.3%) THD participants that consented to take part in the research project.

Neurogenesis continues throughout life in two key regions, the subventricular zone (SVZ) and dentate gyrus (DG), but declines with age alongside increased chronic inflammation and microglial activation. These neurogenic niches differ in their susceptibility to systemic changes, with the SVZ located near cerebrospinal fluid and the DG influenced by local neural activity. We found that immune change

The chapter examines and draws comparisons between modularity as a foundational production paradigm across code, platform society and electronic music production. It delves into the evolving landscape of music production within the context of platformization, highlighting the growing prevalence of modularity influenced by genres such as hip-hop and EDM. Additionally, the chapter explores how inter

FLASH radiotherapy, which refers to the delivery of radiation at ultra-high dose-rates (UHDRs), has been demonstrated with various forms of radiation and is the subject of intense research and development recently, including the use of very high-energy electrons (VHEEs) to treat deep-seated tumors. Delivering FLASH radiotherapy in a clinical setting is expected to place high demands on real-time q

Background: Variation in residual volume between peritoneal dialysis dwells creates uncertainty in ultrafiltration determination, dialysis efficiency, and poses a risk of overfill if the residual volume is large. Measuring the dilution of a marker molecule during fluid fill offers a convenient approach, however, estimation accuracy depends on the choice of dilution marker. We here evaluate the fea

We consider two-dimensional steady periodic gravity waves on water of finite depth with a prescribed but arbitrary vorticity distribution. The water surface is allowed to be overhanging, and no assumptions regarding the absence of stagnation points and critical layers are made. Using conformal mappings and a new reformulation of Bernoulli’s equation, we uncover an equivalent formulation as “identi

New results on continuous time nonlinear consensus under varying topology are presented. The results are proved utilizing non Lyapunov based methods, i.e., the Hilbert metric, showing the possibility of further investigation of Hilbert metric for consensus and synchronization problems.

Background: Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) may lead to periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) via haematogenous spread of bacteria to the joint. Due to the risk of PJI, patients with SAB and prosthetic joint are recommended prolonged antibiotic treatment. The aim of the study was to assess the risk of PJI during SAB, and to evaluate if short treatment duration affects outcomes in patients
