Recension av Fredrik Sjöberg, Bruno Liljefors. En biografi,.

This article investigates how social workers enact ethical judgement in digitalised welfare organisations. Drawing on the concept of ethics work, it examines how engagements with digital systems involve ongoing processes of identifying, interpreting and responding to ethically salient aspects of practice. The study is based on an organisational ethnography in Swedish social services, combining 45

Artificial intelligence (AI) shows promise in identifying psychopathology through language, but replicability in AI models remains challenging. We develop an AI-based language assessment of posttraumatic-stress-disorder (PTSD) severity and introduce the sequential evaluation with model preregistration to rigorously evaluate its validity and replicability. This design includes two phases: developme

INTRODUCTION: Improving access to genetic testing has increased the number of individuals identified with cancer genetic predisposition. Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) and Lynch syndrome (LS) are key examples of high-risk hereditary cancer syndromes. Ensuring that carriers of germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (GPVs) receive evidence-based risk counseling, surveillance and

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is increasingly seen as essential for mitigating climate change. In Global North countries like Denmark, Sweden and the UK, bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) projects have become a prominent component of national climate strategies. This perspective explores an emerging trend: the advancement of such projects through a co-financing model that combines state

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic there was an increase in digital healthcare delivery. It is unclear how this was implemented among people intellectual disabilities (ID) who may struggle to access new technologies. This is important to investigate as this group already faces inequities in healthcare access.Research Question(s): Does the degree of health-related video-conferencing utilizati

Background: Women with intellectual disabilities have increased risks of pregnancy-related complications and adverse maternal outcomes. This could increase their risk of post-partum care needs. Research Question(s): Do post-partum healthcare utilization differ between women with intellectual disabilities and women from the general population?Methodology: Through national and regional registers, we

Background: Older people with intellectual disabilities have complex healthcare needs, with many somatic and psychiatric co-morbidities and high healthcare utilization, including unplanned (i.e., acute) healthcare contacts. However, little is known about predictors of unplanned healthcare contacts—a possible proxy for unmet healthcare needs, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.Research Quest

BackgroundIschemic stroke remains a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, with limited acute therapeutic options. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that regulates endothelial function, vascular integrity, and immune responses, and reduced circulating S1P levels have been reported in ischemic stroke. Whether plasma S1P depletion parallels alterations in brain-endothe

At Lund University (LU), we are increasingly working with linking inner and outer transformation and the inner development goals (IDGs) for accelerating sustainability across different disciplines, departments and levels. Related work started around ten years ago with the establishment of the Contemplative Sustainable Futures Program, which involves research, education, impact and outreach activit

Diet-induced metabolic dysregulation is associated with cerebral microvascular pathology contributing to cognitive decline and vascular dementia. These alterations include blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage, pericyte dysfunction, aberrant angiogenesis, and perivascular neuroinflammation. Restoration of BBB integrity has been achieved in other conditions by targeting pericytes, for example through k

Epigenetic regulation governs stem cell fate and perturbations in these mechanisms often lead to tumor development. The CoREST complex, a critical regulator of neural and hematopoietic stem cell differentiation, is recurrently targeted by gain of function mutations in the ubiquitin ligase KBTBD4 in high-risk embryonal brain tumors. However, the tumorigenic potential of these mutations remains unre

This article examines how the Peace of Westphalia has been interpreted and invoked from the conclusion of the peace itself to the present day. Rather than assessing whether different conceptions of Westphalia are valid or not, this article analyzes how conceptions of Westphalia have been used and reappropriated to legitimize notions of epochal change and constellations of power in international th

Platform randomized trials offer a flexible framework for evaluating multiple therapies within a shared long-term infrastructure, yet their implementation poses substantial logistical and operational challenges. This paper examines three interrelated features that frequently determine the feasibility and efficiency of platform trials: 1) infrastructure and setup costs; 2) training, site management

We study, theoretically and experimentally, the impact of performance thresholds on effort and risk-taking. Our theory predicts that thresholds typically increase effort provision, but that the magnitude of this increase varies non-monotonically with the threshold level. For risk-taking, the effects are positive for high thresholds and negative for low thresholds. We characterize these patterns th

Flower colour polymorphism is driven by divergent selection regimes on the colour morphs across time and space. Anemone coronaria, a colour-polymorphic geophyte with red, purple, and white flowers, displays a geographic pattern along Israel's aridity gradient: polymorphic populations are restricted to Mediterranean climates, while monomorphic-red populations occur in both Mediterranean and semi-ar

This talk discusses short-distance contributions to the hadronic light-by-light part of the muon g-2 as in the Standard Model. A short discussion about the theory prediction is followed by the status of our work. The main new results since the previous chiral dynamics workshop is how to calculate the higher order corrections to the Melnikov-Vainshtein region using the operator product expansion. W

Climate change is expected to alter species assemblages by affecting the outcome of competition between species. Investigating processes of competition remains challenging in tree communities, as they unfold over extensive spatio-temporal scales. Here, we used a deep learning-based meta-model trained on 135 million simulated tree responses to climate across Europe to investigate changes in the com
