BackgroundPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic arthritis affecting people with psoriasis. If untreated, it may lead to disability. Recommended drugs are non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, conventional synthetic disease‐modifying anti‐rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs), and targeted synthetic DMARDs (tsDMARDs). Tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TN
An important aspect of microbiological surveillance is the ability to access live viruses for microneutralization assays, which enables the study of viral characteristics and mechanisms in vitro and production of positive controls for diagnostic methods. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Health Agency of Sweden established a protocol for the rapid collection of clinical samples and subseque
Protein engineering studies often suggest the emergence of completely new enzyme functionalities to be highly improbable. However, enzymes likely catalysed many different reactions already in the last universal common ancestor. Mechanisms for the emergence of completely new active sites must therefore either plausibly exist or at least have existed at the primordial protein stage. Here, we use res
Sub-THz deployment is challenging due to high propagation losses, necessitating dense deployment. To reduce cost, RF signal can be distributed via plastic fiber to remote radio units to increase coverage area. In this paper, we propose an antenna-in-package concept for the single-layer substrate on low-cost embedded wafer level ball grid array (eWLB) packages. To suppress the distortion in the bro
Mångfalden av våtmarker, vattendrag, sjöar och grundvatten samverkar i ett större perspektiv inom ett avrinningsområde. Funktioner som är sammankopplade och beroende av varandra. En holistisk förståelse av våtmarker utgår från att vi tar hänsyn till alla delar. En funktion forskarna i denna rapport benämner hydrodiversitet. Forskarna har undersökt hur stor nyttan är ur ett hydrologiskt och ekonomiThis report presents our research project EcoDiver, funded by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The project was conducted as a collaboration between Lund University and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).The main thesis has been hydrodiversity, where the diversity of hydrological units, such as wetlands, lakes, rivers and groundwater, within a catchment area interact and affect the
I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 224 svenska fågelarter för olika långa tidsperioder, samt korttidstrender för 13 arter av större däggdjur. Fåglarna har räknats höst, vinter, vår och sommar enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan 1996) men täcker We present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, a project run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2023 include data from: 517 winter point counts in 2022/2023 (48th winter), of which 243 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 181 summer point count routes (49t
Public sector organizations increasingly use digital platforms to foster value co-creation among diverse stakeholders and to address complex societal challenges, such as those related to sustainable development. Different kinds of digital platforms have been recognized as potential drivers of the societal transition toward a circular economy. However, little is known about the organization, govern
An accurate description of the wireless channel is essential to the development of modern wireless systems. In order to mathematically model the propagation channel, one important prior step often done is high-resolution parameter estimation. The estimation accuracy of this step has a significant impact on how well the channel models can represent reality. In this paper, we address this by improvi
Frågorna hur den allmänna repressionsnivån och enskilda straff ska se ut placeras ofta antingen hos lagstiftare eller domare. Men för att på allvar kunna diskutera frågorna och vad som är önskvärt behövs gediget underlag och en öppenhet för frågornas komplexitet och olika infallsvinklar.
Understanding the aspects of progression for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and treatment is key to building reliable clinical decision-support systems. To promote system trust, one step is to make the machine learning models (used by the decision support systems) explainable for clinicians, developers, and researchers. Recently, working with longitudinal clinical trajectories using Graph
We present a summary of the commissioning and performance of the vacuum system of a 500-MeV booster synchrotron recently built at LNLS as part of a new injector for the LNLS light source. The main vacuum parameters of the synchrotron are pressure below 5×10-7Pa (lifetime of 1-2 hours), no in-situ baking, no cooling system, and a short recovery time after ventilation. All parts of the system are ma
This concert featured the world premiere of new music for serpent from the composers Orlando Bass, Henrik Denerin, Athena Corcoran-Tadd, and Jesse Ronneau (the latter also with live electronics). The concert opened with a performance of a 17th-century work from Girolamo Frescobaldi with Orlando Bass on harpsichord. There was also a visual presentation, illustrating the history of the serpent and b
Rättspsykiatrisk vård befinner sig mitt i ett spänningsfält med tre poler: straff, vård och samhällsskydd. Den som är föremål för rättspsykiatrisk vård är en lagöverträdare dömd för brott till en påföljd, en patient som är omhändertagen för psykiatrisk tvångsvård och en person som är frihets-berövad med hänvisning till att personen utgör en samhällsfara. Detta medför att det frihetsberövande och ö
In this thesis, we provide a number of novel algebraic means of certifying stability and performance for linear systems constrained in various ways by cones. The purpose is mainly threefold: to provide mathematical statements with applicative potential, to unify seemingly dissimilar results in the literature and thereby increase understanding, and to advance the state of the art on dynamical syste
Studio recordings of new music for serpent from the composers Orlando Bass, Henrik Denerin, Athena Corcoran-Tadd, and Jesse Ronneau, recorded at the Inter Arts Center (Malmö) on 8-10 February 2025.
Attosecond science enables the study of ultrafast dynamics on atomic scales, providing fundamental insights into light–matter interaction. This thesis work aims to advance the development and application of an attosecond light source capable of delivering extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses with exceptionally high intensity.High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is a nonlinear process where a strong la
