A policy brief can be a powerful tool for research to engage with policymakers, reach out with important results, and to contribute to a democratisation of research. For policy briefs to have an impact, the message needs to be clear and the topic considered urgent. In this workshop, participants discussed how to communicate science for policy and how to make the most out of policy briefs as a mean

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support model with large international prevalence with the purpose of preventing dropouts and strengthen students’ study abilities and results. SI is a collaborative form of learning in groups of about 5-15 students who meet on a weekly basis under the facilitation of an SI-leader, an older student with good insight in the course. The SI-leader helps th

Purpose: To analyse clinical characteristics and risk factors for post-operative endophthalmitis (POE) in a Swedish patient insurance database and compare prevalence of POE with two national quality registers. Methods: We analysed 218 medical records of patients who claimed compensation for POE following ocular surgery from 2010 to 2020. The data were cross-referenced with national quality registe

This thesis revolves around rain, more specifically the relationship between urban development and rain. In this part of the world rain is often considered something negative and something that we want to avoid. Architecture has been implemented in order to create structures which protect us from the water falling from the sky. Rain is something we complain about to our friends and colleagues, i

Binding between protein molecules on contacting cells is essential in initiating and regulating several key biological processes. In contrast to interactions between molecules in solution, these events are restricted to the two-dimensional (2D) plane of the meeting cell surfaces. However, converting between the more commonly available binding kinetics measured in solution and the so-called 2D bind

The demands on library services are quickly changing in a continually updating digital age. This increases the importance of a good understanding of the needs and demands of the users. In order to sample and follow the change in user needs library organisations analyse their efforts using a series of different methods. In a recent survey distributed to all 301 European LIBER university libraries,

Rituximab is a pioneering anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody that became the first-line drug used in immunotherapy of B-cell malignancies over the last twenty years. Rituximab activates the complement system in vitro, but there is an ongoing debate on the exact role of this effector mechanism in therapeutic effect. Results of both in vitro and in vivo studies are model-dependent and preclude clear clin

As found in the health studies literature, the levels of climate association between epidemiological diseases have been found to vary across regions. Therefore, it seems reasonable to allow for the possibility that relationships might vary spatially within regions. We implemented the geographically weighted random forest (GWRF) machine learning method to analyze ecological disease patterns caused

Background: Baleen whales are a clade of gigantic and highly specialized marine mammals. Their genomes have been used to investigate their complex evolutionary history and to decipher the molecular mechanisms that allowed them to reach these dimensions. However, many unanswered questions remain, especially about the early radiation of rorquals and how cancer resistance interplays with their huge n

Purpose: Finasteride has been shown to reduce the incidence of prostate cancer. Yet the use of finasteride remains low, likely because of the risk of adverse effects. We sought to determine whether prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels could identify a high-risk subgroup for which the benefits of finasteride treatment outweigh the potential harms. Patients and Methods: Raw data from the Prostate

Background: Large-scale microelectrode recordings offer a unique opportunity to study neurophysiological processes at the network level with single cell resolution. However, in the small brains of many experimental animals, it is often technically challenging to verify the correct targeting of the intended structures, which inherently limits the reproducibility of acquired data. New method: To mit
