The enduring effects of medical humanities on medical students : Short- and long-term impacts of 15 years of teaching a medical humanities course in a Swedish medical degree program

This article analyzes the immediate and long-term effects of medical humanities teaching at a Swedish medical degree program. The objectives, format, and core pedagogical ideas and practices of an elective course in medical humanities are presented, situating the learning experience in the wider context of medical humanities in the Nordics. We conducted a qualitative, thematic analysis of course e

Thrombotic risk determined by ABO, F8, and VWF variants in a population-based cohort study

Background Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) plasma levels are associated with increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objectives This study aimed to determine the thrombotic risk of rare and common variants of 27 genes linked to VWF or FVIII plasma levels in genome-wide association studies. Methods Exon sequences of 27 genes linked to plasma levels of VWF or

The effect of mechanical ventilation on the abdominal organs

During mechanical ventilation (MV), the interplay between abdomen and thorax has been studied unilaterally focusing on the effect that an increased abdominal pressure would have on the thorax. Only a small cluster of studies offered a different perspective showing a lower inflammation and a better lymphatic clearance of edema in abdominal organs when spontaneous breathing was applied compared to M

Arkiv har en viktig roll i kampen mot desinformation och för demokratin

Människor har skapat arkiv i över 4 000 år – för att organisera tillvaron, förstå omvärlden och föra kunskap vidare. Arkiven präglas av sin tids värderingar, men de utgör också de mest trovärdiga källorna till historien, skriver företrädare för Universitetsbiblioteket i Lund, Statens musikverk och Svenska Unescorådet .

Trumps politisering av universiteten kan strypa den fria forskningen även här

När president Trump nyligen fryste drygt 2 miljarder dollar i forskningsmedel till Harvard University var det ett strategiskt drag i en större kamp för att forma akademin politiskt. Att ledningen på Harvard står upp för sin frihet är både modigt och nödvändigt för att forskning alls ska kunna vara fri framöver. När Trump stryper Harvards och andra universitets finansiering, visar han med all önskv

Thermomechanical process modelling and simulation for additive manufacturing of nanoparticle dispersed Inconel 718 alloys

In this study, a coupled transient thermomechanical finite element model is developed to examine the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process of the Inconel 718 (IN718) and Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) superalloys (ODS-IN718). The linear isotropic elastic perfectly plastic constitutive model is implemented for the mechanical part whereas all the thermophysical properties are defined as fully

Peridynamic analysis of thermomechanical effects in fracture toughening mechanisms of stop holes

In this study, a bond-based fully coupled thermomechanical peridynamic framework is implemented to study the fracture toughening of stop-holes in brittle materials subjected to thermomechanical loads. The developed modelling approach aims to provide comprehensive guidance about thermal effects on the fracture toughening mechanism of inclusions under realistic engineering conditions. First, the mod

Feasibility assessment of using nanofluids in shell and tube heat exchanger of gas pressure reducing stations through a new developed OpenFOAM solver

One of the important challenges in city gate gas pressure reduction stations is the heating of the natural gas prior to pressure reduction. Regarding the low efficiency of the common water bath heaters in these stations another type of double tube-pass shell and tube heat exchanger, equipped with flower baffles, has been proposed for heating the natural gas. Additionally, Al2O3 nanofluid has been

Den utställda idrotten : Idrott som kulturarv på idrottsmuseer i Sverige

The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the heritagisation of Swedish sports, which is examined through studies of five Swedish sports museums of today. Additionally, the disseration explores the heritagisation of Swedish sports in a wider historical perspective, mainly focusing on the years between 1900 and 2000.There are plenty of sports museums in Sweden today, most of them run by amateu

Needs and Preferences of Swedish Young Adults for a Digital App Promoting Mental Health Literacy, Occupational Balance, and Peer Support: Qualitative Interview Study

Background: Young adults experience stressors in their transition to adulthood and are at increased risk of mental ill-health. This risk is compounded by young adults’ low levels of mental health literacy and limited competencies in implementing strategies promoting mental health and well-being in their daily lives. Previous research suggests that digital mental health apps may be particularly eff

Enhanced glomerular thrombosis in pronated animals with ARDS

BACKGROUND: Prone positioning is part of the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and has been demonstrated to successfully improve the ventilation-perfusion match and reduce mortality in patients with severe respiratory failure. However, the effect of pronation on other organs than the lungs has not been widely studied. This study aimed to compare abdominal edema, perfusion an

The crofter is a woman: Gender division of labour in rural semi-landless households, Sweden 1850–1900

This paper contributes to the empirical question of the labour organization and gender division of labour in a semi-landless rural group during the second half of the nineteenth century, a period charac-terized by developing agrarian capitalism. Thereby, we also add to the broader question of the role of gender division of labour in economic transformation. Through a triangulation of sources – cro

Vocational awe is (not) enough : Learnings from early adopters of serious illness communication

CONTEXT: As part of a broader institutional initiative, the serious illness care program was implemented in a multi-site academic primary care practice. After 2 years, a minority was observed to be documenting serious illness conversations routinely.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to learn about the motivations and actions of clinicians who routinely conducted and documented serious illness conversations.MET
