To analyse longitudinal changes in passive range of motion (ROM) in the upper limb in adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Method: Passive ROM for shoulder abduction and flexion, supination, and elbow and wrist extension was analysed in a longitudinal cohort of adults aged 16 to 76 years from the Swedish CP registry. Individual ROM trajectories and mean ROM curves were calculated using the Manual Abil
Objectives. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and identify its associated comorbidities in adults aged 45 years and older, using data from the Swedish general population study EpiHealth. Design. In a cross-sectional design, data of health history, lifestyle factors, anthropometric measurement, and 1-lead ECG recordings from participants in the EpiHealth study
Radiotherapy (RT) with concurrent chemotherapy is the standard of care for squamous-cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCAC), achieving favorable results in terms of local control and overall survival. However, locoregional failure remains common despite advances such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), which reduces toxicity but has limitations. Despite the benefits of IMRT, frequent and
This chapter analyses floating charges in the Nordic countries, focusing on Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Nordic property laws are known for their functional approach, and while property law rules in the Nordic countries are generally fragmentary, Nordic security rights laws are more codified. The four Nordic countries all have floating charges (or equivalent security rights). The chapter d
Each of the Editors and the Chairperson of the Global Working Group (GWG) on Salutogenesis were given space to individually express their opinion on the Future Challenges for Salutogenesis.
Alternative organizations must continuously address conflicts that emerge regarding diverging prioritizations and interpretations of autonomy, solidarity, and responsibility. We explore how tensions around alternative moral principles can be navigated through relational processes that attune to others' needs, emotions, and concerns. Building on an organizational ethnography of a cooperative campai
Background: Serological response is an important aspect of COVID-19, especially for evaluation of vaccine effect and risk of severe infection. The gold standard to assess this is analysis of neutralization capacity, but such assays are not widely available, with antibody levels often used as an approximation of the neutralizing ability. Avidity index is a measure of antibody function and avidity m
Årets vårexkursion gick till Kullaberg i Skåne den 25–27 april under ledning av Ulf Arup och Lars Salomon. Hela helgen ägnades åt de två stora naturreservat Västra och Östra Kullaberg som Ulf inventerat på mark- och stenlavar under flera års tid och där Lars inventerat epifytiska lavar. Med så många skarpa ögon på plats blev det naturligtvis även en del nya arter för området.
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Podarcis erhardii (Erhard's wall lizard; Chordata; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Lacertidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,495.98 megabases and 1,477.75 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.28%) is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffol
På uppdrag av Höganäs kommun och Länsstyrelsen i Skåne har Västra och Östra Kullabergs naturreservat, Brunnby socken i Höganäs kommun i Skåne, inventerats på mark- och stenlavar. Projektet har utförts i etapper mellan 2016 och 2023 där ett delområde inventerats per år. Totalt har således åtta delområden undersökts, fyra i Västra och fyra i Östra Kullaberg. Varje delområde har inventerats genom fri
The loss and degradation of forest ecosystems pose a major challenge to global sustainability. Forests deliver vital ecological and social benefits; however, their governance is particularly demanding because they constitute common-pool resources. Although a growing body of research shows that Indigenous communities have developed effective and sustainable forms of forest governance, comparatively
The United Kingdom’s response to the pressing biodiversity decline in England includes the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy and is operationalised through DEFRA’s Biodiversity Metric, which quantifies biodiversity into ‘biodiversity units’. This thesis evaluates how effectively the metric reflects real biodiversity outcomes at the rewilded Knepp Estate in West Sussex. Using 2005 as a baseline an
Attofysik är förankrad i ljus-materia växelverkan som uppkommer från starka fält, vilken gör det möjligt att generera, kontrollera och mäta elektroners dynamik på deras naturliga tidsskala. Kvantsammanflätning och koherens mellan fotoelektron och jon i laserassisterad ultrasnabb fotojonisation är väsentliga för att kunna förstå den underliggande dynamiken och kontroll över det korrelerade tvådeladAttosecond physics is embedded in strong-field light-matter interactions, which enable the generation, control, and measurement of electron dynamics on their natural timescale. The entanglement and coherence between the photoelectron and ion in laser-assisted ultrafast photoionisation are fundamental to understanding the underlying dynamics and control of the correlated bipartite system. This work
School counselors in Sweden operate within a context where national legislation provides broad guidelines with limited concrete direction for their role. This study aimed to explore how school counselors perceive, interpret, and manage their discretion and to understand which factors shape their possibilities to act within their profession. The method chosen for this study was qualitative semi-str
This study examines how people with lived experiences of crime describe processes of entry into and exit from criminality. Furthermore, the study analyses how social bonds, turning points, and key life experiences are given meaning, and how the functions of criminality can be understood through the participants' life narratives. With a symbolic interactionist perspective, the analysis is made
This study focuses on how the daily press portrays social workers and their work with children and teenagers. It is a discourse analysis with social constructivism as the theoretical framework. The method was a qualitative cross-section together with Fairclough's model of critical discourse analysis. The material consists of news articles from three of the largest newspapers in Sweden from the
This study aimed to explore how social workers in the field of substance use and addiction experience and perceive organizational boundaries, division of responsibilities, and collaboration routines in the relationship between social services and psychiatric care, and how these factors affect the possibility of offering cohesive support to people with comorbidity. A qualitative research design was
This study aimed to examine how job-seeking individuals with a criminal record perceive their motivation to seek employment, which factors facilitate or hinder their participation in the job search process, and how they experience support from authorities. The sample initially consisted of participants recruited through Krami offices in Sweden and was supplemented with snowball sampling, allowing
This study aims to examine how changes in integration policy and the political discourse on migration affect social workers’ perceptions of their professional discretion, as well as how these changes are reflected in everyday practice and in encounters with clients. The study is based on qualitative interviews with social workers working with newly arrived migrants at the municipality level and is
