Objectives To develop evidence-based European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations for vaccination in patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD). Methods A EULAR task force was composed of experts representing 11 European countries, consisting of eight rheumatologists, four clinical immunologists, one rheumatologist/clinical immunologist, one infectious disease p

Attitudes of Gen Z and their role in the workplace have been widely studied in the past decades. Even though Gen Z and Millennials have some similar workplace attitudes, the rapid change in technology experienced by Gen Z has inculcated some very unique working attitudes in the new generation, which in turn has impacted their expectations of middle management and their preference for such role

Polyolefins make up the majority of all plastics produced and can be found in a range of applications. Simultaneously, 60% of all plastics are not being recycled, and consequently are accumulating in the environment where it poses serious threats to both the environment, human health, and economies. Current attempts to address the problem have had limited success. An emerging solution is biodegrad

The purpose of this paper was to, from a user perspective examine and describe how the cares of people with learning disabilities in two care residences fulfil stated quality objectives. Another purpose was also to examine if the quality tool, Quest, was useful when evaluating Swedish conditions. The result shows the conditions were good for performing high quality care, but there are certain need

This paper addresses the currently existing research gap regarding the lack of a clear definition and categorisation of lifestyle entrepreneurs. The primary objective is to examine the different core dimensions of lifestyle entrepreneurs and develop a comprehensive concept on their basis. This study adopted an abductive approach to explore the understanding of lifestyle entrepreneurs. By utilising

This is the third report form the CO2 Monitoring Task Force on the multiple input streams of in-situ observations that are requirement for the Copernicus CO2 Monitoring and Verification Support capacity to: (i) calibrated and validate the space component, (ii) assimilate data in the models and integrate information in the core of the system, and (iii) evaluate the output generated by the system fo

Objectives: To explore the association between fetal umbilical and middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler abnormalities and outcome in late preterm pregnancies at risk of fetal growth restriction. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of singleton pregnancies at risk of fetal growth restriction at 32 + 0 to 36 + 6 weeks of gestation, enrolled in 33 European centers between 2017 and 2018, in w

Context: Familial clustering of a disease is an indicator of a possible heritable cause. In the era of genome scans, the consideration of data on heritability should be important in the assessment of the likely success of the scans. Object: The objective of the study was to carry out a family study on nonthyroid endocrine diseases to search familial clustering of these diseases beyond the known sy

Hållbart arbetsliv för alla åldrar i Helsingborgs stadI Sverige har det av samhällsekonomiska orsaker föreslagits att ålderspensionen ska senareläggas, eftersom pensionssystemet är uppbyggt så att vi ska arbeta två tredjedelar av våra liv. En av de största utmaningarna för den svenska arbetsmarknaden är att göra arbetslivet hållbart så att fler klarar av att arbeta till en högre ålder. För att fle

Studies of the structural dynamics of solids can improve our understanding of atomic motion in materials, and may thus help in the manufacture of new devices or the development of materials with novel structures and properties. Ultrashort laser pulses, a few tens of femtoseconds long, can deliver high energies (mJ–kJ). This energy is absorbed by the electrons in a solid material, leading to a rapi

Palaeopalynological studies form an integral part of the geological investigation of the Late Paleozoic sedimentary history of Dronning Maud Land. During the examination of organic residues prepared from different localities at Heimefrontfjella, the freshwater green alga Botryococcus was found. Exceptionally well-preserved colonies of Botryococcus were recorded in several samples at two sections o

This study was part of a Swedish interdisciplinary research project targeting accessibility problems in public transport for people with cognitive functional limitations (CFLs). The objective was to describe and compare different assessment perspectives of long-term CFLs among community citizens having had CFLs in the acute stroke phase but with moderate physical limitations. Eighty-four participa

Ectomycorrhizae are formed by mutualistic interactions between fungi and the roots of woody plants. During symbiosis the two organisms exchange carbon and nutrients in a specific tissue that is formed at the contact between a compatible fungus and plant. There is considerable variation in the degree of host specificity among species and strains of ectomycorrhizal fungi. In this study, we have for

Psychiatric symptoms and stress are on the increase among Swedish adolescents. We aimed to study the potential effect and feasibility of two Internet-based self-help programmes, one mindfulness based (iMBI) and the other music based in a randomised controlled trial that targeted adolescents. A total of 283 upper secondary school students in two Swedish schools were randomised to either a waiting l

Proton therapy has shown potential for reducing doses to normal tissues in breast cancer radiotherapy. However data on the impact of protons when including internal mammary nodes (IMN) in the target for breast radiotherapy is comparatively scarce. This study aimed to evaluate normal tissue doses when including the IMN in regional RT with scanned proton beams, with and without respiratory gating. T

We report on multiblock copolymers consisting of highly sulfonated hydrophilic poly(arylene sulfone) (SPAS) blocks combined with hydrophobic poly(arylene ether sulfone) (PAES) blocks. Dithiol-terminated precursor blocks of sulfonated poly(arylene thioether sulfone) (SPATS) were first prepared via polycondensations involving a novel tetrasulfonated dichlorotetraphenyldisulfone monomer, followed by

Pore formation and pore closure in poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)-based drug delivery systems are two important processes as they control the release of the encapsulated drug. The phenomenon pore closure was investigated by studying the effects of the pH and the temperature of the release medium, and the properties of the polymer. Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) films were subjected to a pore
