PURPOSE: Obesity is associated with a wide range of chronic illnesses and disabilities familiar to rehabilitation researchers and practitioners. Obesity discourse in the area of rehabilitation science and practice is limited.METHOD: A meeting of rehabilitation researchers, practitioners, industry and decision makers was held for the purpose of identifying research and practice priorities in the ar

Weight stigma, defined as pervasive misconceptions and stereotypes associated with higher body weight, is both a social determinant of health and a human rights issue. It is imperative to consider how weight stigma may be impeding health promotion efforts on a global scale. The World Obesity Federation (WOF) convened a global working group of practitioners, researchers, policymakers, youth advocat

Ett förändrat klimat med mer intensiva regn och längre torrperioder har gjort sötvatten till en alltmer värdefull och sårbar resurs. Vattenbrist förekommer i dag i många delar av världen, även i områden där det tidigare inte varit ett problem, såsom i Sverige. Minskad vattenan-vändning kan bidra till att reducera efterfrågan, men endast upp till en viss gräns. För att säkerställa en långsiktig ochWith climate change causing more intense rainfall events and prolonged droughts, freshwa-ter resources are increasingly under pressure worldwide, including in regions such as Sweden where water scarcity was previously unexpected. While water conservation can reduce de-mand to some extent, long-term water security requires alternative and resilient water sources. Wastewater represents a reliable so

The introduction of the Environmental Transmission Electron Microscope (ETEM) has revolutionized scientific studies by allowing in-situ studies of nano and angstrom scale samples in varying environments. In combination with the introduction of the Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) chip the ETEM has become a powerful tool for high resolution imaging of material interaction. However, the MEMS ch

Projekt Beta är ett pilotprojekt inom ramen för CoAction Lund. CoActions mål är att göra Lund klimatneutral till 2030. Projekt Beta innebär att Lunds kommunala fastighetsbolag (LKF) och parkeringsbolag (LKP) sammankopplas i en energigemenskap via ett internt icke-koncessionspliktigt nät (IKN). Detta använder företaget ViaEuropa som ett pilotprojekt för teknikbevis av energigemenskaper. Genom en faProject Beta is a pilot project within CoAction in Lund. CoAction is a collaboration with a goal to make Lund climate neutral by 2030. Project Beta connects Lund´s municipal housing company (LKF) and Lund parking company (LKP) into an energy community via an internal non-concession network (IKN). This project is used by the company ViaEuropa as a pilot för a proof of concept for energy communities

Background: Following the results of the MANDARA trial, this real-life study aimed at comparing the effectiveness and safety profile of mepolizumab versus benralizumab in a European EGPA cohort. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational comparative study including EGPA patients, who received mepolizumab or benralizumab at the asthma dose. Patients were matched 1:1 by sex, age, BVAS and o

Studying the composition of exoplanets is one of the most promising approaches to observationally constrain planet formation and evolution processes. However, this endeavour is complicated for small exoplanets by the fact that a wide range of compositions are compatible with their observed bulk properties. To overcome this issue, we identify triangular regions in the mass-radius space where part o

Tuberculosis (TB) patients who are diagnosed but not registered and initiated on TB treatment are categorised as initial loss to follow-up (ILTFU). ILTFU is a key driver of morbidity and mortality associated with TB and is a contributing factor to high TB transmission rates. LINKEDin was a quasi-experimental study which evaluated two specific interventions for reducing ILTFU in three high-TB burde

The ALICE Collaboration presents a new suite of jet substructure measurements in Pb–Pb and pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 [Figure presented]. These measurements provide access to the internal structure of jets via the momentum and angle of their constituents, probing how the quark–gluon plasma modifies jets, an effect known as jet quenching. Jet grooming additio

Background: Breathlessness on exertion is a common, distressing, and limiting symptom that can be quantified on incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) using normative reference equations. Research Question: Is the breathlessness abnormality best uncovered and assessed at symptom limitation (peak exercise) compared with submaximal exercise intensities? Study Design and Methods: This wa

Introduction: Oesophageal resection carries significant morbidity and mortality. Artificial intelligence (AI) advances in medical research enable enhanced predictions, flexibility, and interpretability, especially for complex interactions and nonlinear relationships. Material and methods: We used a register-based case-control design nested within prospectively collected data from the Swedish Natio

LRRK2-PD represents the most common form of autosomal dominant Parkinson’s disease. We identified the LRRK2 p.L1795F variant in three families and six additional unrelated cases using genetic data from over 50,000 individuals. Carriers with available genotyping data shared a common haplotype. The clinical presentation resembles other LRRK2-PD forms. Combined with published functional evidence show

Objectives: To identify serum and salivary gland proteomic biomarkers in primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD), evaluate their correlation with tissue inflammation, and relate findings to clinical, autoantibody, and genetic profiles. Methods: Paired salivary gland extracts and serum samples from patients with SjD (n = 81) and sicca controls (n = 19), and serum from larger Swedish (SjD n = 456; controls

Adjustable magnetic field sources have become indispensable in advanced material characterization techniques. Among these, permanent magnet assemblies offer significant advantages by reducing power consumption and minimizing Joule heating. In this work, we report on the development and integration of a tunable magnetic sample environment at the SoftiMAX beamline of the MAX IV synchrotron, employin

In analogy with the factorization of representations of adelic groups as restricted products of representations of local groups, we study restricted tensor products of Hilbert C⁎[jls-end-space/]-modules and of C⁎[jls-end-space/]-correspondences. The construction produces global C⁎[jls-end-space/]-correspondences from compatible collections of local C⁎[jls-end-space/]-correspondences. When applied

Pluvial flood mapping is a common way to identify locations at risk of being flooded in connection with an extreme short-duration rainfall. As rainfall extremes are expected to intensify in a warmer climate, more and more cities and municipalities are performing pluvial flood mapping, in Sweden and elsewhere. Often a rainfall with a return period of 100–200 years is used in the mapping, and the ma

År 2024 nådde de globala fossila koldioxidutsläppen en rekordhög nivå på 37.8 miljarder ton, vilket är en 0.8% ökning från 2023. Denna ökning sker trots en ökning av förnybar energi vilket bekräftar det fortsatta beroendet av fossila bränslen. Fossila bränslen som kol, olja och naturgas används främst för energiproduktion men även för framställningen av olika kemikalier som till exempel gödsel, läThis research focuses on the synthesis of two monoesters of tartaric acid, the monomethyl- and monopropyl ester. The monoesters of tartaric acid are synthesized using green chemistry approaches and intended for use as monomers in waterborne polyurethane dispersions which are more environmentally friendly than traditional solvent-based polyurethane dispersions. Polyurethane dispersions are mainly u
