ABSTRACT Intact insulin signaling and glucose transport in adipocytes are crucial to maintaining whole-body energy metabolism. Focal adhesion kinase stands as a central intracellular protein facilitating signaling between the extracellular matrix and the cytoplasm, thereby regulating cellular metabolism. Here, we have investigated the role of focal adhesion kinase in adipocyte glucose transport us
Knowledge of animal diets is fundamental in ecology as it can provide insight into the structure, function and resilience of entire ecosystems. In this study we investigate the diet composition of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), a small marine top predator with great ecological importance, to provide updated dietary estimates for the species in Swedish waters. This is done by parallel us
Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate sensorimotor functions that require cerebellar processing, and visuospatial perception and visuospatial abilities in adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Method:We included patients with unmedicated ADHD (n = 52), medicated ADHD (n = 39), ASD (n = 33), the combination of unmedicated
Årets Arena Idé-rapport om den svenska modellen och organisations-graden hos fack, arbetsgivare och a-kassor innehåller de senaste medlemsuppgifterna för samtliga fackförbund inklusive förbunden utanför LO, TCO och Saco. Det gäller antalet yrkesaktiva medlemmar vid årsskiftet 2024/2025. Även medlemsutvecklingen i PTK och OFR redovisas avseende de medlemmar som räknas till respektive förhandlingsor
Recently, it has become a focus to reduce non-exhaust aerosol emissions from the transport sector. One possible way to decrease brake particle emissions is by laser-cladding coatings onto brake discs. This work tested five different laser-cladding coated brake discs against a non-asbestos organic brake pad. The performance of these coatings was compared to a commercial grey cast iron brake disc te

Sleep disturbances are prevalent among elderly populations and are linked to various health complications. Understanding the underlying biological mechanisms contributing to sleep disorders is crucial for developing targeted interventions. In this study, we measured 355 plasma proteins in an elderly Japanese cohort (n=77) using a high-throughput proteomic platform. Additionally, we collected over
We developed an algorithm for the early screening of autism spectrum disorder using baby cry sound. We collected the sound using a smartphone application to record it in their daily life. We employed the Japanese version of the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) for the evaluation of the autism spectrum. We built a prediction model for binary classification using least absolute shr
Background and AimsAdolescent mental health has declined in recent decades. Few studies have explored whether shifts in interpersonal behaviours– both in-person and online– can help explain this decline. Using data from two Swedish cohorts (2007–2008, 2023–2024), we examined (1) 15-year time trends (2007–2008 vs. 2023–2024) in interpersonal behaviours (victimization, aggression, prosocial behaviou
Background: Patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) treated with the high-efficacy drugs natalizumab (NTZ) or rituximab (RTX) generally show no evidence of disease activity. Currently, there is no head-to-head comparison between NTZ and RTX of neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Objectives: To compare CSF biomarkers in a stable RRMS
Aerosols from volcanic eruptions impact our climate by influencing the Earth's radiative balance. The degree of their climate impact is determined by the location and injection altitude of the volcanic SO2. To investigate the importance of utilizing correct injection altitudes, we ran climate simulations of the June 2009 Sarychev eruptions with three SO2 datasets in the Community Earth System Mode

Heart failure is a common condition with a high burden of morbidity and mortality globally. Despite modern advancements in diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic strategies, challenges remain in providing optimal treatment for the individual patient. Heart-failure phenotyping requires imaging modalities for assessment of structures and function. This thesis is based on four studies which apply nove
For decades, social scientists and activists have advocated for equal participation of citizens in decision-making about development and equitable futures. The urgency of this call has intensified with the climate emergency, pushing communities towards resilience. Yet, the concept of participation remains contested. This systematic review examines 187 articles to understand how participatory proce
