Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) is increasingly used in forensic DNA analysis for SNP and STR genotyping, though accredited proficiency tests remain limited. To address this, five forensic DNA laboratories from four countries participated in a study to assess MPS methods across different kits and platforms. In this study ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep Kit, ForenSeq MainstAY kit, Precision ID Glob

Miniaturisation can influence the foraging behaviour of flower visitors by shaping their sensory systems, flight capabilities, and their compatibility with floral shapes and structures. For bees, vision is a primary sensory modality, and a reduction in eye size compromises the resolution and sensitivity of vision. In Tetragonula iridipennis, a diminutive tropical stingless bee common in South Asia

Aims: To examine how educational attainment impacts clinical presentation and pharmacological treatment at type 2 diabetes (T2D) diagnosis. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of 10,020 individuals with recently diagnosed T2D enrolled in the Danish prospective DD2 cohort. Sex- and age-adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) for detailed clinical characteristics and pharmacotherapy were computed. Results:

Introduction: Traditional cardiovascular risk factors put patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) at increased risk for acquired cardiovascular disease and mortality – more so than patients without CHD. In the general population, health related quality of life (HRQoL) is associated with regular physical activity. It was the aim of this study to evaluate the most important predictors of HRQoL

Aim: To qualitatively assess an intervention for ambulance nurses, including simulation training concerning intimate partner violence (IPV), and to describe the ambulance nurses’ experiences of their work after the intervention. Background: IPV is a common public health issue with serious consequences from individual and societal perspectives. Previous research indicates that deficits in knowledge

Trauma accounts for around 4.4 million deaths annually and is among the leading causes of death, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries. Trauma quality improvement programmes may reduce adverse patient outcomes but lack robust evidence. This study assessed the effect of implementing a trauma quality improvement programme using audit filters on health-related quality of life

System-level brain modeling is a powerful method for building computational models of the brain and allows biologically motivated models to produce measurable behavior that can be tested against empirical data. System-level brain models occupy an intermediate position between detailed neuronal circuit models and abstract cognitive models. They are distinguished by their structural and functional r

此次断资行为不仅反映日本对国际监督的不安，也可能鼓舞国内保守派更强烈反对性别平等改革。更令人担忧的是，日本似乎试图通过财政杠杆对国际机构施压。这无疑对它在人权和全球性别正义上的承诺构成挑战。

Vår relation till miljö och natur blir alltmer beroende av digitala hjälpmedel men vad är det för data som används och vem är det som mäter?

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction in medicine and surgery. AI-based applications can offer tools to examine high-volume data to inform predictive analytics that supports complex decision-making processes. Time-sensitive trauma and emergency contexts are often challenging. The study aims to investigate trauma and emergency surgeons' knowledge and perception of using AI-ba

Bakgrund/Syfte: Aktivitetsträning är en ständigt pågående process som innefattar social interaktion och lärande. Synen på människan som en aktiv varelse är central i arbetsterapi och insatserna rör ofta vardagens olika aktivitetsområden så som personlig vård, boende, fritid och arbete. Görandet av aktiviteterna kan beskrivas som en interaktiv social process där personen har ett ständigt utbyte med

Poster: Bakgrund/Syfte: Personer med flerfunktionsnedsättning behöver stöd i utvecklingen av sina aktivitetsrepertoarer. Avgöra fas i LärandeProcessen (ALP) med instrument och främjande strategier kan bidra till att utveckla deras förståelse för användning av verktyg. Studien utvärderade interbedömarreliabilitet och klinikers upplevelser av att använda det universella instrumentet (ALP) i aktivite

Background: Vitamin D is metabolised throughout the male reproductive system, suggesting a direct regulatory role of vitamin D in male reproduction. Objectives: To investigate the association between plasma vitamin D levels at sperm ejaculation and during spermatogenesis and biomarkers of male fecundity in young men. Materials and methods: From the Fetal Programming of Semen Quality cohort, Denmar

BACKGROUND: Shared decision-making (SDM) between clinicians and patients is one of the pillars of the modern patient-centric philosophy of care. This study aims to explore SDM in the discipline of trauma and emergency surgery, investigating its interpretation as well as the barriers and facilitators for its implementation among surgeons.METHODS: Grounding on the literature on the topics of the und

Noninvasive fibrosis scores, particularly Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), are widely used in hepatology due to their accessibility and simplicity.1 The FIB-4 index combines age, AST, platelet count, and ALT into a formula validated primarily in hepatitis C and metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease, which typically cause zone III (centrilobular) hepatocyte injury and transaminase elevation.1

This article analyses Swedish foreign policy from the early 1800s to the present day. A recurring theme centres on discussions about non-belligerence and neutrality, which have by no means been undisputed ideals. Additionally, the article explores the significant influence of Sweden’s historical experience, particularly the Swedish Great Power Era of the 17th and early 18th centuries, on shaping the
