Tidewater glaciers on Svalbard are sensitive indicators of climate change and play a crucial role for Arctic ecosystems. The widespread retreat of tidewater glaciers across Svalbard highlights the need to quantify retreat rates and project when these glaciers will become land-terminating. This study investigates tidewater glacier retreat during historical (1936–1990) and present (2012–2024) period

The coupled climate and nature crisis requires rapid mitigation that does not compromise biodiversity. Forests have the potential to improve environmental objectives in synergies depending on management. To better understand the motivations behind forest management practices among non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners in Sweden, this study conducted a cross-sectional comparative analysis wit

In the summer of 2023, the international World Scout Jamboree (WSJ) will take place in South Korea. A Swedish scout delegation will participate in the camp and provide a Swedish food house. In an international context such as the WSJ, the Swedish scouts will express their own nationality, through both the Swedish Food House and other national symbols. This expression of nationality is essentially

With the 25-year anniversary of the Öresund bridge, questions can be posed: how has the region benefited from the increased integration? What opportunities and problems can the individuals of this region tell of? This thesis contributes to the discussion regarding identity creation in border cultures. The results presented in this study show how new identities are shaped out of necessity through t

On not sharing ones home with ones partner: The gendered experience of women in LAT relationships in Sweden and Austria. This thesis explores the gendered experiences of women in Living Apart Together (LAT) relationships. It focuses on how LAT as a relational form is negotiated within the contested space of intimacy and coupledom, that is shaped by cultural norms and societal expectations around c

In China, young people face intense academic competition, a competitive job market, and changing cultural narratives about success and stability. Travel is often seen by young people as a means of escaping these pressures, but it is also influenced by economic conditions, social class, and cultural capital. This paper seeks to explore how Chinese young people aged 18-35 view depressive experiences

Aim of the review: To provide an overview of studies that have published dataregarding region and population size, procedure location, team composition, inclusionand exclusion criteria, outcome parameters, and cost–benefit analyses onextracorporeal membrane oxygenation use for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Data sources: A structured systematic literature search of articles published pr

Aim of the review: This review aimed to evaluate the impact of Point-of-care Ultrasound during cardio- pulmonary resuscitation for adult non-traumatic CA on clinical outcomes and survival.Data sources: This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The PubMed and Embase databases were searched on 14 November 2022. The

Low-dimensional topological states have transformed our understanding of charge transportation through quantum materials. Many relevant observations have been connected to bismuth (Bi) containing materials or ultrathin Bi films. Here, we studied sub-monolayer amounts of Bi deposition on the In-terminated InSb(111)A surface using various complementary surface science techniques. Bi deposition at el

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as important mediators of cancer metastasis, especially in the establishment of organ-specific metastatic niches. These membranous vesicles secreted by tumor cells release diverse bioactive cargo, including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, thereby allowing for intercellular communication and microenvironment modulation. Recent evidence demonstr

OBJECTIVE: Sarcopenia (loss of muscle strength/mass) reduces physical performance (walking, strength, mobility) and is common in Parkinson's disease (PD), but data on newly diagnosed, untreated patients ("de novo") are scarce. Fatigue is frequent in PD and linked to physical decline and malnutrition, key sarcopenia risk factors. We aimed to describe sarcopenia prevalence, malnutrition risk, and fa

BACKGROUND: Insufficient knowledge among assistant nurses (ANs) in nursing homes (NHs) on medicines and drug-related problems (DRPs) in older people causes difficulties in acknowledging the side effects of medications, which can be harmful to the individual and endangers patient safety. The aim of this study was to explore the ANs' thoughts on their professional role in preventing DRPs in NH resid

BACKGROUND: Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) is associated with lower mortality in heart failure (HF) patients and protects against cardiac and kidney injury in mice.OBJECTIVES: The authors investigated dapagliflozin's cardiorenal effects by studying its association with ApoM in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction.METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of DEFINE-HF (Dapagliflozin Effects on
