BackgroundHypoplastic left heart syndrome is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We aimed to assess the influence of left ventricular morphology and choice of shunt on adverse outcome in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and stage 1 palliation.Methods and ResultsThis was a retrospective analysis of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome with stage 1 palliation b
This article aims to expand the ongoing theoretical debate on the broadened and context-specific notion of politics by offering an empirically nuanced conceptualization of political based on the study of feminist and LGBTI+ activism in Russia, Turkey, and the Scandinavian countries. We use a multi-scalar transnational approach to foreground connectivities across regions to challenge the nation-bou
What do struggles for women’s and LGBTI+ rights in Russia, Turkey and the Scandinavian countries have in common? And what can actors who struggle for rights and justice in these contexts learn from each other? Based on a multisited ethnography of feminist and LGBTI+ activisms across Russia, Turkey and the Scandinavian countries, this Open Access book explores transnational struggles on various lev
BackgroundWasting reflects infections and poor nutrition and affects almost 50 million children at any given time. Wasting comes with immediate risk of mortality and increased risks for long-term negative consequences for development. Children under two are particularly sensitive to undernutrition and infections. We estimated the age patterning in wasting prevalence.MethodsWe calculated wasting pr
Drawing on insights from both rhetorical arena theory and contingency theory of conflict management, this study examines the role of political factors in shaping stakeholder groups’ perceptions and organizational responses and stances in a scansis of a multinational corporation. This study combined qualitative content analysis and semantic network analysis to analyze organizational responses, news
Background: Many blood group antigens are carried by red cell surface proteins, thefunctions of which are not yet fully characterized or in some cases completelyunknown. By investigating red cells with naturally-occurring blood group variants,much has been learnt about the underlying molecules. However, interindividualvariation affecting other molecules than the one(s) of interest may confound oro
The field of molecular phylogenetics is being revolutionized with next-generation sequencing technologies making it possible to sequence large numbers of genomes for non-model organisms ushering us into the era of phylogenomics. The current challenge is no longer how to get enough data, but rather how to analyse the data and how to assess the support for the inferred phylogeny. Here, we focus on o
Basic materials are traded globally and responsible for roughly 22 % of global carbon emissions. It is technically possible for the energy intensive industries (EIIs) that produce these materials to reach zero emission, but at a cost. So far, the fear of carbon leakage has been a barrier for implementing ambitious domestic climate policies that targets theses globally traded commodities. The intr
Pange lingua är en hymn från femhundratalet av Venantius Fortunatus. Den sjöngs under fastetiden och framför allt på långfredagen och återfinns i Den svenska psalmboken, men inte som en regelrätt översättning utan som bearbetningar och förkortningar, i psalmerna 147 och 456. Artikeln ger en bakgrund till hymnens tillkomst och en nyöversättning av hela hymnen.

Background: Most patients with kidney disease have different degrees of proteinuria. Heavy proteinuria causes nephrotic syndrome. The incidences of nephrotic syndrome in adults are approximately three per 100 000 persons. Although if nephrotic syndrome is rare, it is a serious clinical condition. Little is known about health and wellbeing among patients with nephrotic syndrome. It is important for
Numerous natural materials are porous, contain free gas, and are scattering light strongly. Scattering brings about a strong trapping of light and an associated prolonged transit time for photons through a medium. In contrast to the matrix materials, gas enclosures require very narrow‐band laser radiation for probing. We have in the present study used the gas in scattering media absorption spectro
Climate change is a physical reality, demanding political and practical solutions. But its inner dimension, overlooked entirely by mainstream approaches, is a human crisis of relationship. This report outlines the relevance of mindfulness and compassion practices in addressing the endemic disconnection from self, others and nature at the root of the climate crisis.We explore the cognitive and emot
Under våren 2022 ska den så kallade Everlöv-skatten säljas på offentlig auktion. Därför kommer skatten att splittras upp och föremålen därmed spridas vind för våg. Detta är mycket beklagansvärt ur vetenskaplig synvinkel, men även ur samhällets och allmänhetens perspektiv. Fornminnen och fornsaker, däribland naturligtvis vikingatida skattfynd, är vårt gemensamma kulturarv. Depåfyndet består av en
