Regionalekonomiska skillnader och varierad befolkningsutvecklinghar under lång tid präglat Sveriges samhällsdynamik. Genom enhistoriskanalys från 1860-talet och framåt visar denna rapport hurregional ojämlikhet i Sverige tidvis har ökat och tidvis har minskat.Den ekonomiska tillväxten har sedan 1980 främst gynnat större regioneri ekonomisk- och befolkningsbemärkelse, medan mindre områdenhalkat eft

Objectives: We aimed to describe the cardiopulmonary function during exercise and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with a history of COVID-19 pneumonia, stratified by chest computed tomography (CT) findings at baseline. Methods: Among 77 consecutive patients with COVID-19 who were discharged from the Pulmonology Ward between March 2020 and April 2021, 28 (mean age 54.3 ± 8.6

This article describes the phonetic characteristics of the most common vocalisation types and subtypes in the domestic cat: the meow, the trill, the howl, the growl, the hiss (and the spit), the snarl (and the cry), the purr, the chirp and the chatter. In addition, the contexts where the different sounds are normally produced, and accompanying body postures and movements are summarised.

Objective: Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a severe neurodegenerative disease characterized by tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau protein and tufted astrocytes. Developing treatments for PSP is challenging due to the lack of disease models reproducing its key pathological features. This study aimed to model sporadic PSP-Richardson's syndrome (PSP-RS) using multi-donor midbrain organoids (M

Fifteen years ago, Bergh and Erlingsson (2009) argued that Sweden's period from 1980 to 2000 was characterised by ‘liberalisation without retrenchment’. This resulted from pragmatic policymaking, a consensus-building governmental inquiry system and close links between policymakers and academics. We use new data to confirm that total tax revenue and economic freedom increased in Sweden during the 1

Atrial fibrillation and heart failure have both been suggested to increase stroke and dementia risk. However, in observational studies, reversed causation and unmeasured confounding may occur. To mitigate these issues, this study aims to investigate if higher genetic risk for atrial fibrillation and heart failure increases dementia and stroke risk. Data were obtained from the population-based Goth

The paper investigates the role of innovation intermediaries in sector-specific regional innovation systems. Innovation is viewed as a non-linear, iterative process and open process involving multiple actors from different parts of the innovation system. The paper studies in particular innovation intermediaries that provide support to firms in the regional innovation system through the fulfillment

The search for greener ways of producing plastic has been a very popular field for the last few years. One avenue of research focuses on separating plastic production from the fossil fuel industry by finding bio-based alternatives. This is the case of the research conducted by our collaborators at Biotechnology who are trying to use Escherichia coli to produce 1,4-butanediol, a precursor to many p

Electrification of the automotive industry calls for high performing electric engines. Since the use of iron from primary sources in the production of engine cores has a high environmental impact, it would be beneficial if they could be made mostly from recycled materials. Soft magnetic composites used as cores in electric engines have lower mechanical strength compared to the alternatives. This i

Using molten salts for etching aluminum (Al) away from the MAX phase for MXene synthesis is an attractive alternative method that allows one to avoid the use of toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF) solutions. However, the mechanism of the MAX phase reaction with molten salts remains to date unclear due to the lack of in situ data. Here, we present a detailed in situ time-resolved synchrotron radiation X-r

The minimal SO(10) grand unified theory, augmented by higher-dimensional operators, is based on the following Higgs representations: adjoint 45H, spinor 16H, and complex vector 10H. It was recently realized that, as opposed to the conventional wisdom, any intermediate mass scale has to lie close to the grand unification one. This bears profound consequences for the scalar particles mass spectrum a

Background: The occupational therapy intervention Balancing Everyday Life (BEL)TM aims to support mental health service users towards improved occupational balance and personal recovery. Yet, no research has specifically addressed recovery experiences among BELTM participants. Aim: To investigate how the recovery process was experienced by mental health services users who had participated in BELTM

Lunds universitet rankas som topp-tio i världen inom forskning på detaljhandel och logistik. Helsingborgsregionen delar på förstaplatsen i Sverige vad gäller bästa logistikläge. Det här ger en bra bas för Lunds universitets satsning REAL – Center for Retail and Logistics – på Campus Helsingborg.

Objectives: In this nationwide cohort study in a Scandinavian setting, we aimed to investigate the magnitude of association between flucloxacillin use and drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Methods: Nationwide cohort study among adults in Sweden, 2006–2018, was conducted. Register data on filled prescriptions, patient characteristics, co-medications, and DILI were linked. All filled prescriptions f

The Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art – An exploration of the building’s distinct character and a proposal for an extension. In Lund, you’ll find a museum unlike any other – the Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art (Skissernas Museum). Renowned for its exceptional collection, it has also been my workplace for the past two years. This building, which I came to know in detail through my

Background: COVID-19 caused a profound global impact, resulting in significant cases and deaths. The progression of COVID-19 clinical manifestations is influenced by a dysregulated inflammatory response. Early identification of the subclinical progression is crucial for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes. While there are various biomarkers to predict disease severity and outcomes, t
