Marsviksstrand: Ett tentativt återtagande av en bruksmiljö till sin bygd

I Sörmlands sydöstra kustlandskap, på Tunabergshalvön, ligger den lilla bruksorten Buskhyttan. Orten har goda geografiska förutsättningar att utvecklas som en aktiv landsbygdsort, där man kan leva ett liv närmare naturen men ändå ha nära till arbete och stad. Den uppkom i och med etableringen av ett sågverk år 1917, men sedan slutet av 1970-talet har verksamheten varit nedlagd och sågområdet lämnaIn the southeastern coastal landscape of Södermanland, on the Tunaberg Peninsula, lies a small mill town called Buskhyttan. It is strategically placed within its community and has the potential of being a well connected and active rural area where you can live a life closer to nature. The town emerged with the establishment of Marsvikens sawmill in 1917, but since the end of the 1970s the industry

The effects of preoperative moderate to severe anaemia on length of hospital stay. A propensity score-matched analysis in non-cardiac surgery patients

Background: Anaemia is frequently recorded during preoperative screening and has been suggested to affect outcomes after surgery negatively.Objectives: The objectives were to assess the frequency of moderate to severe anaemia and its association with length of hospital stay.Design: Post hoc analysis of the international observational prospective 'Local ASsessment of VEntilatory management during G

Work and production in the sustainability transition—Four pathways to a low-carbon society

Current strategies to reduce the climate impact of production and consumption are insufficient to meet the pressing targets of the Paris Agreement. To expand visions of the possible ‘solution space’ in climate transitions, we explore a framework based on two dichotomies centred around the role of labour and the composition of economic output. From these dichotomies we sketch out four pathways for

Non-surgical Prevention of Arm Lymphoedema Following Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Lymphoedema in the arm is a well-known side effect of breast cancer treatment and ranks high among the serious concerns of survivors. Thus, it is important to diagnose arm lymphoedema at an early stage and start conservative treatment when lymphoedema is still minimal or mild, thereby preventing development or deterioration of arm lymphoedema. Scre

Long-Term (37 Year) Changes in Coastal Dune Slack Plant Communities

Questions: How did α-, β- and γ- plant diversity of coastal dune slack plant communities change over 37 years during a period of significant changes in conservation management practices?. Location: Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve, England. Methods: We surveyed plant communities in dune slacks at Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve at two time points: in 1985 and in 2022. This p

Rent Seeking and the City : The Case of Urban Screens

Digital technology has become an integral aspect of contemporary cities, especially with the rise of smart city initiatives. Over the past two decades, researchers and practitioners have studied the potential of large public screens, also known as urban screens, in transforming public spaces and shaping the urban experience. This article contributes to the debate by discussing urban screens in the

Two-phase quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons : Exact low-dimensional description for ensembles of finite-voltage neurons

We introduce a two-phase quadratic integrate-and-fire (QIF) neuron whose membrane potential evolves according to two alternating Riccati equations within finite bounds. This simple extension removes the unphysical voltage divergence of the standard QIF model while producing realistic spike waveforms. Despite this modification, the system retains an exact low-dimensional description in the thermody

The changing meaning of wage bargaining in Sweden since the 1960s: A contextual approach to shifts in industrial relations

Sweden is renowned for its centralised wage bargaining system, which has been studied from the point of view of inflation, wage differentials and unemployment. This article studies media coverage of wage bargaining rounds in the 1950s–1960s and in the 2000s–2010s to investigate the social understanding of what the wage bargaining institutions are supposed to do. The results indicate that the opera

Urinary clusterin as a biomarker of human kidney disease progression and response to the endothelin receptor antagonist atrasentan : An exploratory analysis from the SONAR trial

The endothelin receptor antagonist atrasentan improved kidney outcomes in the SONAR trial for type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (NCT01858532), though individual responses varied. To identify molecular biomarkers of atrasentan response and outcome, we conducted a nested case-control proteomics study (N = 180) within the SONAR trial population and identified urinary clusterin (uCLU) as the

Strengthening Primary Health Care in Europe : A Delphi study towards accessibility, equity and continuity of care

Introduction: Strengthening Primary Health Care (PHC) is essential for building resilient and equitable health systems, but PHC faces barriers in implementation, resource allocation, and political prioritisation. This study aimed to develop a strategic roadmap to enhance PHC by identifying core values, priorities, and actionable strategies through expert consensus. Methods: A two-round Delphi stud

Gendered Approaches in Child Maltreatment Cases : Examining How Swedish Social Workers Construct Their Understanding of Female and Male Perpetrators Through Focus Group Interviews

Globally, a substantial number of children experience various forms of parental maltreatment. Child protection agencies work to support these children and prevent further abuse or neglect, often through targeted interventions directed at the parents. Previous research has indicated that social workers may approach male and female perpetrators of maltreatment differently once a case is reported. To

Sex difference and intra-operative tidal volume : Insights from the LAS VEGAS study

BACKGROUND: One key element of lung-protective ventilation is the use of a low tidal volume (VT). A sex difference in use of low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) has been described in critically ill ICU patients.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine whether a sex difference in use of LTVV also exists in operating room patients, and if present what factors drive this difference.DESIGN,

Networks of Survival: Kinship, Digital Platforms, and the Everyday Lives of Uzbek Migrants in Sweden

This article examines the emerging migration corridor between Uzbekistan and Sweden based on interviews, focus groups, and data from a survey conducted in both countries in 2024. Although small in scale, this corridor is analytically significant for understanding the diversification of Uzbek migration beyond Russia and Turkey. Findings show that demographic pressures, limited employment, and envir

Prophetic memory : AI intermediaries and the end of the world

A new breed of prophets-intermediaries and pastoral bros of an AI industry with metaphysical aspirations-has surfaced on the global stage during troubled times. They make great promises, offer predictions and warnings, and stake out directions for humanity. This article argues that they do so by invoking the implicit collective memory of the apocalyptic imaginary known from ancient Jewish apocalyp

Toward Resilient and Sustainable Energy Systems : Assessment of Networked Microgrids for Disaster-Prone Regions in Indonesia

The resilience performance of networked microgrids (NMGs) in disaster-prone areas, using a real-world testbed located in Lombok, Indonesia is explored in this paper. Given the increasing environmental pressures and energy security concerns in Indonesia, it is vital to improve the robustness and sustainability of decentralized energy infrastructures. We propose an optimization-based energy manageme

The power systems of drilling rigs have changed considerably since the early days of steam driven machinery. This paper reviews that progression, from mechanical and diesel electric configurations through to modern hybrid and renewable integrated systems, with a focus on the power conversion technologies that enable each stage. Coverage includes the electrical architecture of drilling rig power sy

Galectin-8 binds HIV envelope glycoproteins with high affinity and promotes viral infectivity

Target cell entry of HIV-1 is dependent on the binding of gp120, the outer component of the viral envelope glycoprotein complex (Env), to CD4 and a coreceptor, preferentially CCR5 or CXCR4. Still, other interactions may also contribute to the infectivity of the virus. One such interaction is between the highly glycosylated gp120 and carbohydrate-binding proteins, such as galectins. Here, we studie

Six versus five fractions per week (chemo)-radiotherapy for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma – A nationwide cohort study from the Swedish head and neck cancer register

Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT) for patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) can be intensified by delivering 6 (6fx/w) instead of 5 (5fx/w) fractions per week. Randomized trials have demonstrated superiority for 6fx/w in patients treated without concurrent chemotherapy (CRT). This real-world analysis compares 6 vs 5 fx/w in LA-HNSCC all-comers, treated predominan
