We study the impact of credit networks on the interconnectedness between lenders' and borrowers' stock returns using syndicated loan data. We correct for biases from confounding factors and find significant stock return dependencies between small banks and large borrower firms with high default risk. Our analysis shows that portfolios of lender stocks, sorted based on signals from borrowers' retur

As a counterweight to depersonalization, dementia care settings collect personal biographies, life stories, when residents move in. In Sweden, life story work has established itself as an indicator when measuring quality in dementia care. To facilitate the writing of life stories, care settings use a variety of life story templates, with a set of questions to be filled in about the care recipient.

Relocation to residential care facilities is a unique type of transition. For most older people it is the lastmove they make in their life when they have no other options. The transition itself involves numerouschallenges. There is a lot of knowledge about the situations before and after relocating to a nursing home,but few studies are based on the actual relocation process.

Harvey's capital switching thesis is one of the most influential contributions of Marxist geographers, providing a framework for understanding structural determinants of capital flows into urban land and built environments. Harvey's thesis has drawn criticism in subsequent debates for its lack of direct empirical support. Even decades later, several gaps remain. The most comprehensive intervention

While the need for a transformation to tackle climate change is no longer contested, competing visions about the future have taken the front seat in political debates. Previous research on stakeholders in the European Parliament and the GermanBundestag identified opposing views relating to green growth, degrowth and post growth. In relation to trade unions, these have recently been discussed conce

Background: The Swedish health care system is undergoing a transformation. eHealth technologies are increasingly being used. The System Usability Scale is a widely used tool, offering a standardized and reliable measure for assessing the usability of digital health solutions. However, despite the existence of several translations of the System Usability Scale into Swedish, none have undergone psyc

BACKGROUND: The impact of the sustainable EAT-Lancet planetary health diet on brain and cognitive health remains unclear. This study compared the impact of the EAT-Lancet diet with the well-established cognitive-beneficial Mediterranean diet (MeDi) in relation to neuroimaging biomarkers and cognitive performance among older adults.METHODS: The study included 615 dementia-free 70-year-olds from the

”’Till livet!’: Fallet, identitetstematik och den Andre i tre pjäser av August Strindberg” undersöker fallmotivet som spatial händelse samt dess konsekvenser i tre pjäser av August Strindberg: Lycko-Pers resa (1882), Fröken Julie (1888) och Ett drömspel (1902). Ämnesvalet grundar sig i iakttagelsen att Strindberg återkommande använder rumsligt vertikala uttryck – något som tidigare inte har ägnats

This paper discusses the complicated environment for global science, which is becoming increasingly competitive as the world is moving closer towards multipolarity. We frame the situation as global science disorder. Key issues include geopolitical dynamics, equity, erosion of academic freedom, and rising authoritarianism. The changes significantly impact HEIs, which must navigate these changes whi

Background: The existence of a “minority tax,” defined as the burden of extra responsibilities placed on minorities relative to non-minorities of the same position, has been documented across various fields, including and beyond medicine. This study sought to quantify the types and extent of the minority tax faced by minority orthopaedic surgeons, as well as evaluate the degree to which this work

Blood coagulation is essential for stopping bleeding but also drives thromboembolic disorders. Factor XII (FXII)-triggered coagulation promotes thrombosis while being dispensable for hemostasis, making it a potential anticoagulant target. However, its physiological role remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that FXII-driven coagulation enhances innate immunity by trapping pathogens and restricting

Collagen VII is an essential anchoring protein in the basement membrane zone, maintaining the attachment of stratified and pseudostratified epithelia to the underlying interstitial matrix. However, collagen VII is largely unexplored in normal lungs and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease characterized by excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and aberrant re-epithelializat

BACKGROUND: One of the critical challenges with capitation payment to primary care providers is ensuring that the fixed payments are equitable and adjusted for expected care needs. Patients of lower socioeconomic status (SES) generally have higher health care need. Sweden developed a Care Needs Index, which is used in the capitation payments to primary care providers to account for patient SES.OBJ

Objectives: Cystic fibrosis hepato-biliary involvement (CFHBI) is a common comorbidity in patients with CF and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The effect of the new and highly potent CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapy, elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI), on CFHBI, is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of ETI on liver stiffness

Serum Amyloid A (SAA) proteins are critical mediators of immune activation and metabolic regulation, bridging the acute-phase response with long-term disease dynamics. Once considered mere biomarkers of inflammation, emerging research has revealed their central role in orchestrating immune responses, lipid metabolism, and tissue remodeling. SAA proteins display context-dependent functions: they pr
