Globalization has increased in recent decades, resulting in structural changes of production and labor demand. This paper examines how the increased global engagement of firms affects the structure of the workforce. We find that the aggregate distribution of occupations in Sweden has become more skilled between 1997 and 2013. Moreover, firms with a high degree of international orientation have a r
Microseismic monitoring of hydrofrac is an actively developing technology utilizing various acquizition arrays. In this paper we consider processing of microseismic data recorded by specific surface network geometry-patch arrays (far separated local receiver groups). The project aim is to produce an optimal partial stacking of the data within patches for improving a signal to noise ratio for micro
Desert vernacular architecture is a product of a sustainable building cycle. Desert local inhabitants inherited the traditional way of building from their ancestors developed and then transferred knowledge from one generation to another. This building and cultural cycle is about to disappear in many desert vernacular settlements of the world. Global ambitions and socio-economic developments are so
Objective: To propose draft classification criteria for early stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee for use in a primary care setting. Methods: A group of basic scientists, physician-scientists, rheumatologists, orthopedic surgeons, and physiotherapists in a workshop setting discussed potential classification criteria for early osteoarthritis of the knee. The workshop was divided into sessions aro
While pure deliberation has still not been found online, the field of online deliberation research is blossoming. Born out of the “frustrations and possibilities” of the 1990s, a current theme in the field is to re-link deliberative theory with empirical political science. The aim of this systematic literature review is to sort out and examine important features of this development; to identify an
Development of molecular markers that help to identify high-risk individuals or diagnose indeterminate pulmonary nodules could have a major impact on lung cancer clinical management. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic potential of a newly-developed ELISA that specifically detects complement C4d. We measured this marker in five independent cohorts of plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage sample

Resilience is a debated concept with numerous definitions. If focusing on describing a community under stress of a particular disruptive event, its more traditional etymological meaning of ability to spring back after deformation, or its more applied meaning of ability to cope with and recover from the event, are sufficient. However, if focusing on building and maintaining resilient communities ov
IMPORTANCE Although spouses strongly resemble one another in their risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD), the causes of this association remain unclear. OBJECTIVES To examine longitudinally, in first marriages, the association of a first registration for AUD in one spouse with risk of registration in his or her partner and to explore changes in the risk for AUD registration in individuals with multi
In this study, the use of cubosomes for topical delivery of the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) LL-37 was investigated. Topical delivery of AMPs is of great interest for treatment of skin infections caused by bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus. AMP containing cubosomes were produced by three different preparation protocols and compared: (i) pre-loading, where LL-37 was incorporated into a liquid
Objectives: Gallstone disease (cholelithiasis) has a familial component, but detailed data on the modification of familial risk are lacking. Using nationwide hospital and population records, we aimed to determine detailed familial risks for medically diagnosed gallstone disease.Design: Subjects were obtained from the Multigeneration Register, which contains family data on the Swedish population, a
The typical approach for archaeological analysis is mainly qualitative and, as such, subjective. Even when some measures are reported in the documentation of artefacts, they are often approximate or ambiguous. Conversely, the quantitative approach is based on objective metrics to produce replicable results and, coupled with digital tools, can assist the qualitative analysis in archaeological resea
