There are many discussions promoting the use of GenAI tools to create summaries of research papers and texts both for students as well as academics. These are often mainly focusing on potential benefits such as saving time and effort, including the advice and how-to instructions. Their expected value however is dependent on in how factually reliable and trustworthy generated summaries are, which i
DN DEBATT.En miljardärsskatt har blivit aktuell i valdebatten. Men en sådan ordning har Sverige redan prövat. Det gick sådär. Börsen skickades in i en istid och svenska företag hamnade i utländska händer. Resultatet blev lägre välstånd och tillväxt. Att göra om samma misstag igen vore dåraktigt, skriver nationalekonomerna Fredrik N G Andersson och Lars Jonung.
Marine resources are attracting significant attention from the cosmetics sector as a source of active ingredients. The oligo-elements like iron, copper and zinc, as well as proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates and vitamins A, B and C, are abundant in both micro-and macro-algae. These active components provide a range of benefits including hydration, firmness, shine, protection and slimming effects
LepEU, the European Lepidopteran Population Genomics Consortium, was launched in 2023 to coordinate continental-scale collections and generate population-level genomic data for butterflies and moths across Europe. Its whole-genome resequencing strategy takes advantage of the growing availability of reference genomes for Lepidoptera. LepEU supports scalable, standardized sampling and sequencing to
Early experiences with robotic-assisted esophagectomy showed disappointing anastomotic outcomes when techniques were directly translated from open or thoracoscopic surgery. Among intrathoracic anastomotic options in robot-assisted Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (RAMIE-IL), emerging data suggest lower complication rates with the linear stapled side-to-side technique. This method was adopted at our instit
In recent decades, African states have become some of the most prominent contributors to peace support operations, both via the UN and, increasingly, African Union, regional, and ad hoc arrangements. This entry surveys three key scholarly debates on this phenomenon: first, the reasons why some African states participate in these missions; second, the character and shape of African agency within wh
BACKGROUND/AIM: Achieving negative margins while ensuring a safe reconstruction is known to be challenging in junctional tumors involving both the stomach and the distal esophagus. When a gastric conduit or a transhiatal Roux limb is precluded, a transthoracic long Roux limb reconstruction offers an alternative. Open approaches have traditionally carried high morbidity rates, but advances in minim
Optimal surgery for Siewert type II tumors remains controversial. We compared outcomes between transthoracic esophagectomy (TTE) and extended total gastrectomy (EG) in a high-volume center. This study included consecutive patients with Siewert type II tumors undergoing curative-intent surgery between 2013 and 2023. Patients treated with TTE or EG were analyzed. Primary outcomes were oncological pa
BACKGROUND: Primary headache disorders such as migraine and cluster headache exhibit circadian and circannual variations in attack onset. Melatonin plays a central role in regulating biological rhythms and likely influences the timing of headache attacks. Recent evidence suggests melatonin may be a promising treatment for migraine and cluster headache; however, underlying mechanisms need to be elu
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted melanoma care worldwide, raising concerns about diagnosis and treatment delays.OBJECTIVES: To compare changes in incidence and prognostic factors of invasive cutaneous melanomas across two regions with contrasting COVID-19 infection control strategies.METHODS: A retrospective population-based registry study using the Swedish quality regis
Background Preclinical and clinical data following acute myocardial infarction (MI) have shown conflicting results whether a bimodal pattern of edematous myocardium at risk (MaR) on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging during the first week exists or not. The objective was to assess the dynamics of MaR following acute experimental MI using a comprehensive CMR protocol. Methods Acute MI
Background: Emergency departments use triage to identify time-critical patients and reduce waiting times by assigning higher priority. However, no existing method directly measures this core clinical function. We developed and validated Triage Effectiveness (TE) as a framework for quantifying how well triage systems reduce waiting times for time-critical patients. Methods: Using data from 463,209
Bats are the only mammals capable of powered flight, allowing them to cover relatively long distances in a short time. However, the general inability of mammals to fuel endurance exercise solely by oxidizing fatty acids may prevent bats from undertaking long-distance intercontinental migrations—like birds do. Here, we conducted untargeted metabolomics to reveal the oxidative fuels used by wild cau
Lateral subsurface flow (LSF) is a key component of rainfall-runoff generation on alpine forested slopes, but the influence of weathered bedrock on LSF remains poorly understood due to methodological constraints in monitoring three-dimensional flow dynamics. This study addresses this gap by proposing a standardized morphological interpretation framework for time-lapse 3D electrical resistivity tom
I sitt förförfattarskap lånar Lindgren återkommande ut sin egen talröst i rollen som berättare i olika medier och inte bara gestaltar berättaren utan skapar även en nära relation mellan berättaren i texten, författaren och högläsaren. Studien undersöker hur dels hur Lindgrens högläsning kan ta över rollen som berättare och dels hur samklangen mellan text och ljud, paratexter och narrativa inslag i
This thesis examines spiritual reading practices among Catholic monastics and asks the question what characterises spiritual reading and makes it different from “regular” reading. A qualitative method is used to answer the research questions through semi-structured interviews with six respondents who belong to Catholic monasticism, and a comparative analysis of three works of spiritual literature.
I uppsatsen undersöker jag hur senmoderna temporala villkor bearbetas i de fyra första delarna av Solvej Balles Om udregning af rumfang. Detta närmas genom en granskning av hur specifika tingliga, sociala och tidsliga relationer etableras och utvecklas i den dag som i romansviten ständigt, om än med variationer, omtas. Hur dessa relationer framträder jämförs kontinuerligt med hur vi i senmodernite
This thesis investigates how contemporary product design can restore and redefine ownership in a landscape increasingly shaped by closed ecosystems, proprietary standards, and restricted user agency. As digital and physical products shift toward subscription models, sealed components, and controlled repair environments, ownership becomes vague. Users possess objects but lack the ability to maintai
This project explores the intersection of Hi-Fi performance and interior aesthetics. Most systems today are cluttered because components are collected from various brands, and there is a lack of solutions that can house them as a single, cohesive unit. Through research and field studies, I found that some users expressed dissatisfaction with the traditional Hi-Fi look of racks and stands. Because
The strategic role of communication practitioners has been discussedsince the 1970s. While it might not be surprising that managers andcoworkers view their roles as unclear, it is more surprising that commu-nication practitioners themselves also struggle with explaining theirstrategic roles and the value of their work. To elucidate the strategicwork of communication practitioners, we conducted a s
