Amyloid-targeting monoclonal antibody treatments have ushered in a new era of Alzheimer's disease therapies after decades of research and clinical trials. A recent review published by Cochrane, a global, independent, non-profit network of researchers, professionals, patients and carers regarded as a gold standard for producing and promoting trusted, high-quality health information, has a different perspective on these therapies. The review found these treatments produce “little to no difference” in cognition and offer few benefits while increasing risks for adverse effects. Drs. Cynthia Carlsson, a clinical trialist, David Wolk, a clinician, and Henrik Zetterberg, a biomarker and disease biology expert, join the podcast to break down the review and their concerns, as well as highlight how this review could impact clinical care, research and public policy. Guests: Cynthia Carlsson, MD, MS, director, Wisconsin Alzheimer's Institute, Clinical Core leader, Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC), Louis A.

What makes a dance event feel safe, warm, and easy to enter?In this episode, I talk with Stina and Karin from Minor Swing in Gothenburg.We speak right in the middle of the festival, while music is playing, classes are happening, and everyone is running on very little sleep and a lot of heart.This conversation is about more than organising an event.It is about building a space where people can arrive as they are and still feel included.We talk about:why they dance and what keeps them coming backhow Balboa and Lindy Hop became part of their dance liveswhy does Minor Swing festival have no competitionswhy small details matter, like free coffee and pop-up momentshow their care team helps people feel supported during the eventdance memories shaped by lighting, from dim rooms to candlelit magic at Castle CampYou can hear how much love and thought goes into creating a social dance space that feels human. If you have ever walked into a festival and felt unsure, outside, or a little lost, this episode may feel soft in the best way.This one is for dancers, organisers, and anyone who believes that community is built in the little things.A shout-out to #MinorSwing:This episode has been recorded in the beginning of May 2026, during the Minor Swing festival at Gothenburg, as a collaboration with the festival. Thank you for supporting me and giving me the time and space to talk to such lovely talented and dedicated people. _______________________________________________​Subscribe & review the podcast to help me grow

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, Brian and Jason stare directly into the flaming garbage barge of “the future” and discover that self-driving vehicles still can't tell the difference between a road and an urban swimming pool. Waymo stranded robotaxis in both Atlanta and San Antonio, while Gothenburg's brand-new autonomous bus service survived roughly one day before getting rear-ended by a tram like a lost RoboCop scene directed by Benny Hill. Meanwhile, Ferrari unveiled the Jony Ive-designed Luce EV, proving that if you give Apple designers enough money and untreated minimalist impulses, eventually everything starts looking like an uninspired bar of soap.The AI bubble keeps inflating like a cursed parade balloon nobody knows how to land. Uber admits it's spending fortunes on AI without being able to explain what it actually improves, Starbucks killed its AI inventory system after repeated losses to dairy products, and Google's AI search now struggles with advanced concepts like “ignore,” “stop,” and spelling “Google.” CEOs remain committed to replacing workers anyway, with 99% expecting AI-driven layoffs because apparently nothing says innovation like firing junior staff and replacing them with autocomplete that thinks there are two Ps in Google. Meanwhile, Spotify continues its transformation into the content equivalent of a casino buffet with AI-narrated magazine articles, while Pope Leo emerges as the lone adult in the room, suggesting humanity maybe shouldn't hand civilization over to glorified pattern-matching slot machines.Elsewhere in dystopia, Trump Mobile exposed customer data to the open internet because, of course, it did, while the White House reportedly plans to force-install its official app on government phones in what feels like the world's least subtle spyware rollout. Prediction markets are devolving into a legal cage fight between states and crypto gambling enthusiasts. A Google engineer allegedly made $1.2 million through insider trading on Polymarket because we've apparently rebuilt Wall Street out of meme apps, and researchers say your Wi-Fi router can now identify you by how your meat body disturbs radio waves. Add in SpaceX building a military sensor-to-shooter network straight out of a cyberpunk fever dream, China launching artificial embryo experiments into orbit to explore off-world reproduction, and Erin Brockovich mapping AI data centers draining entire towns' worth of water, and suddenly the most comforting thing this week might be watching The Grand-ish Tour and pretending the world still runs on gasoline and bad decisions.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Some people spend their whole life wondering what they are here to do. Nicolle knew when she was five.In this episode, Nicolle shares what it feels like to live with a clear calling. Not as pressure. But as freedom.We talk about singing as a way to move emotion through the body. Why having many voices can be a strength, not a flaw.And how singing for dancers creates a different kind of safety and play.Nicolle reflects on performing for moving bodies instead of watching eyes.How dancers give space to experiment.How shared rhythm can lower self‑consciousness.And why connection matters more than perfection.We also touch on light, space, and atmosphere. How a room feels changes how music lands. And how dancers, musicians, and environments quietly shape each other.A shout-out to #MinorSwing:This episode has been recorded during the Minor Swing festival at Gothenburg, as a collaboration with the festival.

In dieser Radioreise nimmt Sie Alexander Tauscher mit nach Göteborg in die zweitgrößte Stadt von Schweden. Freuen Sie sich auf einen vorwiegend kulinarischen Trip, der sich zwischen den weiten Schärengärten der Westküste und der Fischkirche im Herzen der Metropole bewegt. Wir treffen Händler, Gastronomen, echte Meister ihres Fachs und erleben dabei ein pulsierendes Gothenburg, wie es international genannt wird, mit verschiedensten Gesichtern. Mit dem Skipper Lasse von Kastor Boat Trips, der seit mehr als 20 Jahren auf dem Wasser unterwegs ist, schippern wir vom Hafen Hönö Klåva um diese Insel und halten Ausschau nach Robben. Am Hafen treffen wir Thomas vom Verein Hönö Ölagille. Hier sind rund 80 Hobby-Bierbrauer der Insel versammelt. Wir schauen einem der Brauer, Lasse, in seinem Haus über die Schulter und erleben auf der Veranda eine Bar mit rund zehn Zapfhähnen, vom Pilsner bis zum Pale. Ab dann schlängelt sich unser kulinarischer Weg durch die Stadt. Feskekörka ist die große Fischhalle der Stadt, die einer Fischerkirche nachgebaut wurde. Über die Geschichte und vor allem das Angebot dieser Halle sprechen wir mit der gastronomischen Leiterin Roberta Derkintis. Später treffen wir in der zentralen Markthalle Stora Saluhallen am Stand von Hugo Ericson Cheese die Betreiber Glenn Moberg und dessen Gattin Jenny Svensson. Sie erzählen von der Geschichte des ältesten Verkaufsgeschäfts dieser historischen Halle. Einen ganz kurzen geschichtlichen Einblick vor allem in die deutsche Zeit der Stadt gibt uns Håkan Strömberg im Museum of Gothenburg, dem Stadtmuseum. Zwei kulinrische Meister ihres Fachs stehen anschließend auf dem Programm. Wir treffen Schwedens besten Konditor Kalle Bengtsson von Konditori Kampanilen und Schwedens besten Koch Martin Moses vom Fine-Dining-Restaurant Human. Wie man in Schweden aus deutschen Weintrauben guten Gerstensaft macht, erklärt uns Christian Leksell. Er ist Chairmann von Wine Mechanics in Göteborg. Und wie man Gin oder Wodka völlig neu erfinden kann, verrät später David De Courcy von der Bar und Destillerie Ego Distillers. Durch eine der grünen Lungen der Stadt, die The Garden Society of Gothenburg, führt uns die Gärtnerin Emmelie Georgii und zeigt stolz das Rosarium. Es ist nach Sangerhausen das zweitgrößte Europas. Gleich in der Nähe des Parks liegt unser unser Basiscamp, das Hotel Royal. Über die Geschichte dieses ältesten Hotels der Stadt spricht Hotelchef Henrik Lind. In seinem Haus ist zum Beispiel an der Wand ein Gemälde, dass ein Künstler damals malte, um die Rechnung fürs Zimmer zu begleichen. Viel Spaß mit unseren vielen Geschichten aus Göteborg!

For a performer trained to draw attention to themselves Ami Skånberg has found a way to make herself invisible in public space. Andrew Stuck has come to Gothenburg on Sweden’s western coast to interview her and learn about her passion for a Japanese performing arts step called Suriashi (also practised in tea ceremony and martial arts). Not only does she practice Suriashi daily but she uses it in her teaching and through that encourages others to use it in meditation and peaceful protest. So, join them on this walk through a busy modern city occasionally adopting an ancient Suriashi step and turning themselves invisible. 28’10” 13.2MB Download notes from this interview: Ami Skanberg_podcast_notesDownload In this photo Ami practices with Nishikawa Senrei, Kyoto 2011 Improvising to two giant organs (dance) Domesticated pilgrimage in Carina Ari’s apartment in Paris (Suriashi) Image credits: Feature – Pethrin; Kyoto, 2011- Folke Johansson; Improvising – Karin Brygger 

(översättning: "Skönhet kommer rädda världen") Skönhet argumenterar inte och kräver inget, skönhet attraherar. Tänk om kyrkan, istället för att vara högljudd om sanningen och vad som är rätt, bara kunde vara vacker? Detta är inledningstalet från Vårmötet Göteborg 2026, en ekumenisk helg med fokus på mystik, musik och samhällsengagemang. (Detta är en klippt version av kvällen.) Vårmötet arrangeras av Betlehemskyrkan, Saronkyrkan, tidskriften NOD, Göteborgs domkyrkoförsamling, Kulturkyrkan, Räddningsmissionen och Ekibs. ——— In English: Beauty does not make an argument or a demand, beauty attracts. What if the church, instead of being loud about truth and about what is right, could be beautiful?

The melodic death metal world changed forever in 2025 with the death of Tomas "Tompa" Lindberg. This week on The Loaded Radio Podcast, we are joined by founding bassist Jonas Björler to discuss the band's final masterpiece, The Ghost Of A Future Dead.   Recorded more than two years ago and held in accordance with Lindberg's final wishes, this album serves as the definitive closing chapter for the kings of Gothenburg. Jonas opens up about the "lost" recording sessions at Fascination Street Studios, his personal memories of his brother-in-arms, and the cold reality of whether At The Gates can—or should—continue without its iconic voice.   In the second half of the show, Scott Penfold breaks down the most explosive news week of the year:

AI is moving fast, but most dentists still don't know what to use, what to ignore, or how to avoid wasting time on tools that don't help the practice. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Travis Wentworth, an AI and cybersecurity expert (with a doctorate in chemical engineering and a background in data modeling), to explain how AI has evolved beyond chatbots into practical “coworker” tools and agent-based workflows that can save time in a dental office. You'll learn how to think about AI use cases, how to structure prompts for better outputs, where the real risks are (including hallucinations and overreliance), and how to pick one measurable project to implement without getting overwhelmed—listen to Episode 1037 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:AI has quickly moved beyond basic chatbot use into tools that can work directly with files, folders, and workflows on your computer.Agent-based AI can connect services (like calendars and email) to automate multi-step tasks that would normally take manual follow-up.Better AI outputs depend on structured, specific inputs, including context like practice values, tone, and desired formats.A major risk is trusting AI outputs without reviewing them, especially when the model can hallucinate details or references.Another risk is getting distracted by too many possibilities instead of completing one scoped, practical project.AI can be used for simple, high-value office tasks like drafting consistent SOP templates and maintenance logs.Tools that record and summarize conversations can help improve consistency and completeness of clinical notes when used responsibly.Snippets:00:00 AI in Dentistry Intro01:08 Meet Travis Wentworth03:18 How Fast AI Is Moving04:43 Beyond Chatbots to Cowork06:41 Agents That Automate Work08:26 Dental Use Cases and Reviews11:57 Prompting and Better Inputs16:14 Dental AI Tools and Notes20:38 Pitfalls and Staying Focused24:31 Adoption Curves and Urgency27:51 Final Advice and Resources30:28 Wrap Up and Next StepsGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Travis Wentworth has been training students in engineering, networking, and cybersecurity for over a decade.

July 29, 1965. Gothenburg, Sweden. After meeting together at a café, 21-year old Jan Olof Dahlsjo, 22-year old Gay Roger Karlsson and 16-year old Kjell-Ake Johansson all climb into a Volvo belonging to Jan Olof's brother, but the three men and the car soon vanish without a trace. That very same day, 18-year old Hubner “Hymme” Lundquist also disappears after travelling from his family's cottage in Torekov to Gothenburg Central Station. There is speculation that the two cases might be connected to each other, as well as a bank robbery which also took place in Gothenburg that same afternoon, but this is never conclusively proven and none of the four missing victims are ever found. For the first time ever, “The Trail Went Cold” will be travelling to Sweden to explore a mystery known as “The Dahlsjo Case”.

May we resolve to live not by lies, political correctness, wokeness, or ‘repressive tolerance‘ by any name. May we live by the Truth alone, and may God have mercy on us. Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. — Theodore Dalrymple (Anthony Daniels) Frontpage Magazine interview (August 31, 2005) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. — Romans 10:8-13 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. — John 14:6 KJV Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played Triggered!

That’s not ‘Holocaust denial’. It’s not denying the reality of genocidal tragedy – on the contrary, it affirms the tragedy(s) everywhere. This group does not have a monopoly on tragedy, as R.J. Rummel proved in DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER in which he coined the term ‘democide’. Despite relentless attempts to denigrate him (wonder why?) David Irving‘s work is instructive, and he is an unimpeachable witness. Why would a man be banned from entire countries simply for his ideas…? There’s also Edwin Black’s IBM and the Holocaust and the subject of what it more broadly represents (i.e., fascism)… There’s also the controversy of the term ‘holocaust’; “A burnt sacrifice; an offering, the whole of which was consumed by fire, among the Jews and some pagan nations”…??

Drawing from a wide-ranging pool of influences—from punk and hardcore to authors like evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and ethicist Peter Singer – José González has forged a unique place for himself in the music scene. He has released records by his band Junip, but his multiple solo albums feature a stripped down "mid-fi" sound consisting mostly of a nylon string guitar, his voice, and the occasional tapping of his foot. His 2003 album, Veneer, gained significant popularity in Sweden, the UK, and the United States. His songs have been featured in films and television shows such as The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, One Tree Hill, The Blacklist, Friday Night Lights, and many others. His new release, Against the Dying of the Light, is in González's own words, "a collection of songs I hope will age badly, in the sense that humanity finds a way to unite and steer clear of its most self-destructive tendencies." Geoff Stanfield caught up with José from his home in Gothenburg, Sweden, to discuss this new album, his approach to recording, and more. Enjoy.

This coming Tuesday, the government's citizenship bill will be examined by a parliamentary committee which will then take a position on the reforms. Meanwhile, a grassroots organisation calling for transition rules for people with citizenship applications already in the queue is running a letter-writing campaign targeting MPs — among them Liberal Party politicians — to try and sway them to vote against their own bill. We speak with Patrick Gallen from Fair Transition and political scientist Patrik Öhberg from the University of Gothenburg.Also: The government this week presented its draft bill to remove pathways to permanent residence for refugees and their relatives, a move aimed at further reducing asylum-related migration and improving integration. But concerns have been raised over unintended consequences for other types of migrants. We hear from Olle Hammar, assistant professor in economics at Linnaeus University and a researcher at the Center for Migration and Integration Research at the Stockholm School of Economics.And: A shaky temporary ceasefire has been reached between the US, Israel and Iran. But this week's also seen US President Donald Trump's attention turn back to matters a bit closer to home, namely Nato and Greenland. We asked Jan Hallenberg, professor emeritus of political science at the Swedish Defence University, to share his analysis.Presenters: Dave Russell and Michael WalshProducer: Kris Boswell

In this episode of Kickback, host Elizabeth David-Barrett is joined by Marina Nistotskaya, Professor at the Department of Political Science and researcher at the Quality of Government Institute, University of Gothenburg. The conversation explores the role of merit-based recruitment in shaping effective and impartial bureaucracies. Marina discusses how hiring processes influence both competence and independence, and why this distinction is critical for resisting political interference and corruption. The discussion also considers the appropriate balance between political appointments and bureaucratic autonomy, highlighting current debates and trends across different countries. Finally, the episode looks at newer areas of research, including how ambiguity in laws and the outsourcing of state functions can affect decision-making and public service outcomes.

As destinations worldwide grapple with the political complexity and accelerating demands of sustainable tourism, few cities offer clearer roadmaps than Helsinki and Göteborg —two Nordic leaders whose long-term commitment to environmental, social, and economic stewardship has reshaped what meaningful progress looks like. On this episode of the Future of Tourism podcast, we're joined by two global tourism leaders representing the top two destinations in the GDS-Index. Jukka Punamäki, senior advisor at Helsinki Tourism & Destination Management, and Katarina Thorstensson, stability strategy and destination development at Göteborg & Co., explore their sustainability journeys, how indexes helped measure success, and what impact sustainability has had on their destinations.

Jon Henriksson is a Stockholm-based double bassist and composer who has become one of the leading voices in the contemporary Scandinavian jazz scene. Born in 1996 in Gothenburg, his path to the bass started when a high school big band director gave him just two months to learn the instrument for a Christmas concert. His 2023 debut album Harmonia placed second in Orkesterjournalen's Golden Album readers' poll, and his new album Shapeshifter drops March 20th, 2026, featuring a quartet with pianist Rasmus Sørensen, drummer Jonas Bäckman, and saxophonist Karl-Martin Almqvist. In this conversation, Jon talks about discovering bird watching and nature photography during the pandemic as a counterbalance to musical life. He shares his compositional process of improvising at the piano and layering ideas on his phone, the Swedish folk high school system that's created a vibrant jazz pipeline to Stockholm, and the jam sessions he hosts twice weekly at Stompin in Old Town. Jon explains how he writes music drawing from Brazilian influences, folk, and pop alongside jazz traditions, and why he wanted Shapeshifter to give space for his favorite musicians to express their personalities.

This Galeria Nocturna episode explores the history and discography of Ominum, a thrash metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. Founded in 2018 by core members Erik Lindstrand and Bernard Jozic, the group built its foundation by reworking material from their previous high school project, In Sanity. After debuting with a self-titled EP, the band spent years refining their sound before releasing their first full-length album, Monument, in 2022. This debut gained significant traction within the underground thrash scene and led to a partnership with the German label Witches Brew for a physical CD release. The narrative follows the band's recent momentum through a series of digital releases and strategic expansions. Following the success of their debut, Ominum released the single Epitaph and the War for Peace EP. By late 2024, they consolidated these efforts into a deluxe physical edition of War for Peace, which included their latest single, An Empty, Endless Race. Despite recent shifts in their live lineup and the departure of bassist Richard Svärd, the founding duo continues to drive the project forward. The episode concludes with the band preparing to enter the studio to record their second full-length album. #GothProds #ominum #swedishmetal #lagalerianocturna #metal GothProds Links Spotify -https://open.spotify.com/show/2hnlgkcGNl9GOAPa0WT9HW?si=7e9b95f203464fe6 Apple Podcast — https://podcasts.apple.com/mx/podcast/goth-prods/id1606324255?l=en Amazon Music — https://music.amazon.com.mx/podcasts/d10f63b6-f4f3-4a91-b21d-d98c2b08ca01/goth-prods?ref=dm_sh_xBGgYoDaqnREmWm0IoJu5r4kd Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/Goth-Prods-104237088306624/ Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/goth_prods/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@goth_prods

Missed the live broadcast? Don't worry—the party starts whenever you press play! In this edition of the Eurovision Showcase, we're traveling from the glitz of the 1980s to the very latest releases hitting the airwaves today. Whether you're a hardcore fan or just here for the glitter, we've got something for everyone. On this episode:

 We all know that sleep is important, but how much can eight hours really do for us? Turns out, a good night's rest does more than restore our energy; restful sleep helps regulate weight, blood sugar, and even blood pressure. Ding Zou, MD, PhD, and Mio Kobayashi Frisk, MD, of the University of Gothenburg, studied how conditions like sleep apnea and insomnia affect hypertension, with those getting less sleep having higher instances of elevated blood pressure levels. Host Patti Tripathi discusses their study, what solutions exist for better sleep, and what future studies may look like.

For our first episode of 2026, regular host Liz David-Barrett is joined by Anna Persson, associate professor and senior lecturer at the Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg. Anna draws on extensive field research to challenge simplistic understandings of political will, and explore systemic corruption as a complex collective action problem. Anna examines how moral hazard and adverse selection shape leadership behaviour, and how corruption becomes "expected behaviour" in societies where the high individual costs of resisting systemic corruption make transparency measures insufficient. The episode also challenges the "coherent state" model, examining how competing authorities and variations in state effectiveness within countries impact anticorruption efforts.

Dr. Elinor Ben-Menachem, epileptologist, researcher and professor at Sweden's University of Gothenburg, shares insights and experiences from her 40-plus years working with clinical trials and providing care to refractory epilepsy patients.

Hi Sleepy. Tonight we drift between a rainy city and old memories of Gothenburg. A frozen Jack staring from the Atlantic, a young acting student walking through a park everyone says is dangerous, a mad man on a tram who never quite becomes as dangerous as he sounds.Somewhere in there is a naked man in the shower screaming “hooray” at a fallen razor, a lifetime of being scared of his own mind, and the strange relief of finally being able to cry again. We visit dream trains that never leave on time, labyrinth hotels, airports that feel like another planet, and the small comfort of a steady ventilation noise when you are trying to fall asleep.You do not have to keep track of any of it. You do not even have to listen. Let me be the background fan while your own stories fade into the dark and you slowly sink into your peaceful night, without having to keep eye contact with anything at all. Sleepy, it is what it is. What happens, happens. And right now, there is nothing we can do.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Covering the band's two early 00s masterpieces, your hosts attempt to crack the code on how a band from the deserts of the west managed to beat every band from Gothenburg at their own game, with a uniquely American style and flair. 0:00:00 - Intro/What is Gothenburg? 0:21:30 - God Was Created (Metal Blade, 2002) 1:10:42 - Interlude - Eucharist - “Into The Cosmic Sphere” fr.

What happens when a teenage metalhead from a quiet Swedish suburb grabs a guitar, jumps on a local bus with his friends—and some of the biggest names in Scandinavian metal—and decides to rewrite the soundtrack of modern metal? On today's episode of Bringin' it Backwards, Adam and Tera Lisicky sit down with Mikael Stanne of legendary band Dark Tranquility for a candid, unfiltered look at three-plus decades in the scene, from cassette tape trading and fighting over synth vs. metal in the schoolyard, to accidentally inventing the “Gothenburg Sound” alongside fellow icons At the Gates and In Flames. Mikael shares why forming Dark Tranquility with neighborhood friends was more about escaping the ordinary than chasing fame, how those infamous bus rides into Gothenburg were basically a rolling summit of musical minds, and what it was really like to win a Swedish Grammy during the chaos of 2020 (spoiler: he had to text the band to tell them they'd won). Plus, hear how the band's 13th album, “End Time Signal,” came out of major lineup changes and a band-wide leap into the unknown. Whether you're a die-hard metal fan or just fascinated by artists who never stopped pushing forward, you'll want to catch every minute of this episode.
