Introduction: Early-life determinants of middle-age cardiovascular health are poorly understood. This study examines associations of BMI and physical fitness in male adolescents with cardiovascular health measured by the Life's Essential 8 score in middle age. Methods: A population-based cohort study linked BMI and physical fitness from the Swedish Military Conscription Register (men conscripted f

Living through war is more than surviving each day – it's rebuilding life, identity, and society in the shadow of constant threat.This volume offers a multidimensional portrait of Ukraine during the Russian invasion, bringing together real life stories, empirical research, and institutional analyses from scholars and practitioners at Zhytomyr Polytechnic State University and Lund University. It hi

Background: Midwifery continuity of care (MCoC) is a key aspect of woman-centred midwifery care, associated with improved outcomes for both women and midwives. In many countries, maternity care is fragmented, and MCoC uncommon in clinical practice and midwifery education. To address this gap, a pedagogical project entitled “Midwifery Student All the Way” was introduced in a midwifery programme in

Reliable and cost-effective operation of structural systems over their service life depends on the implementation of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and maintenance activities, which influence operational costs, the expected costs of failure and downtime. Decision Value Analysis (DVA) provides a framework to quantify the value of such activities by evaluating their effect on total expected life

Nickel-based catalysts are the most promising alternative to replace platinum in hydrogen conversion devices in alkaline media. One approach to narrowing the performance gap between Pt and Ni is to fine-tune the nickel surface coverage by (hydr) oxide (NiOxHy) species, which determines its electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen oxidation (HOR) and hydrogen evolution (HER) reactions. As Ni easi

Individuals who self-harm are often insensitive to pain, and consequently pain sensitivity has been proposed as a barrier for self-harm. It is unclear how pain and self-harm interplay in real life settings, and to what extent genetics and environmental factors contribute to the etiology of both. This study was registry based using classical twin design. A cohort of 16 948 Swedish twin pairs born b

Despite the average 5-year survival rate exceeding 85%, childhood cancer is still the most common cause of disease-related death among children in Sweden. A cancer diagnosis is profoundly traumatic not only for children themselves, but also for the entire family, particularly the primary caregivers, their parents. This project aimed to investigate the extent to which a childhood cancer diagnosis a

Introduction: Excessive worry is common during adolescence and across a range of psychiatric conditions. There is a growing evidence base for the efficacy of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in reducing the frequency of excessive worrying as a primary outcome in the context of clinical trials of youth with generalized anxiety disorder, and as a secondary outcome in trials of CBT for youth with ob

Damage, failures, and defects in buildings create an enormous cost for stakeholders. This study examined technical aspects of inadequate management and maintenance causing moisture and indoor environment related damage instances. Using a dataset of 2100 diagnosed causes of damage based on real damage investigations carried out in Sweden, several of the factors causing damage were identified. The c

Amelogenin, the most abundant protein in developing enamel, self-assembles into supramolecular structures that serve as templates for apatite growth. Recent studies revealed that amelogenin nanoribbons exhibit hallmark features of functional amyloids, yet the molecular mechanisms governing their formation remain incompletely understood. Here, we combine atomic force microscopy, transmission electr

Background Bariatric metabolic surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB] and sleeve gastrectomy [SG]) effectively treats obesity and type 2 diabetes; however, weight loss varies, necessitating predictive factors. Methods We analysed 12- and 24-month weight loss data from 811 patients (RYGB or SG). Factor Analysis of Mixed Data and neural network (NN) modelling identified distinct patient phenotypes
