Objectives: To determine the intra- and inter-observer agreement of erosions detected and scored with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of bones in the hands and feet, and to compare CBCT with conventional radiography (CR) for assessment of bone erosions in patients with long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method: Thirty patients with long-standing RA from the Better Anti-Rheumatic Pharmac

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is commonly seen in malaria endemic areas as it is known to confer a selective advantage against malaria. Recently, we reported a high proportion of asymptomatic reservoir of Plasmodium vivax in Botswana, that calls for intervention with primaquine to achieve radical cure of vivax malaria. Considering that individuals with this enzyme deficiency

3D-macroporous chitosan-based scaffolds (cryogels) were produced via growth of metal-polymer coordinated complexes and electrostatic interactions between oppositely charged groups of chitosan and metal ions under subzero temperatures. A mechanism of reduction of noble metal complexes inside the cryogel walls by glutaraldehyde is proposed, which produces discrete and dispersed noble metal nanoparti

Background: Allergic contact dermatitis from glucose sensors may interfere with their ongoing application. Objective: To evaluate a series of Spanish patients with contact dermatitis to glucose sensors regarding former sources of contact allergens, patch test results, and outcomes from the ongoing use of the device. Methods: A series of patients with contact dermatitis from glucose sensors was inv

Objective: To study the relationship between sociodemographic factors and pyelonephritis. Methods: A nationwide open cohort study consisting of 2,052,873 women (76.2% Swedish-born) aged 15-50 years was conducted (1997-2018). The outcome was the first event of acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis diagnosed in primary healthcare settings in relation to the sociodemographic factors. Cox regression mode

Cervical cancer is one of the most recurrent and dangerous female cancers in Algeria and worldwide. It is mainly caused by human papillomaviruses (HPV), which can induce other cancers as well. Although it can be fatal, cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and manageable cancers. While HPV vaccination is the key weapon to win the battle against this pathology, it is still not approved in

Focused environmental research projects and continuously operating research infrastructures (RIs) designed for monitoring all subdomains of the Earth system contribute to global observing systems and serve as crucial information sources for environmental scientists in their quest for understanding and interpreting the complex Earth System and contribute to global observing systems. The EU funded E

This study investigates how tourist presence influences word-of-mouth (WOM) and measures whether authenticity significantly mediates presence and WOM in the Augmented Reality (AR) museum tourism experience. The survey data was collected from the AR-presented Palace Museum in China. The study found that presence positively influences tourists’ WOM, and authenticity positively mediated tourist prese

Background: Remote symptom monitoring (RSM) is an evidence-based strategy shown to mitigate postoperative morbidity; however, platform engagement is required to benefit from RSM. Patients who report current smoking are at high risk for postoperative complications, but it is unknown whether smoking status influences engagement with RSM, symptom severity, or unanticipated acute care visits. Methods:

This art short film examines clichéd images of vulnerable urban places in Sweden by juxtaposing stereotypes of marginalization, safety, commerce, and everyday life. The research aim is to use kitsch art and playful elements to intervene in the conventional thinking of these places as problems in the margins of society.The medium of the short film enables us to bring to life the empirical material

We set up a mortality surveillance system around two of the largest gold mines in Tanzania between February 2019 and February 2020 to estimate the mortality impact of gold mines. Death circumstances were collected using a standardized verbal autopsy tool, and causes of death were assigned using the InSilicoVA algorithm. We compared cause-specific mortality fractions in mining communities with othe

Purpose:To describe the features of retinal detachments and high myopia in patients with novel pathogenic variants in LEPREL1 and report a possible association with nephropathy.Methods:Retrospective study of 10 children with biallelic LEPREL1 pathogenic variants. Data included ophthalmic features, surgical interventions, and genetic and laboratory findings.Results:10 patients (8 females) from thre

Hanna Matschke Ekholm ”Har vi med allt nu?” – En kvalitativ studie om hur strategiskt miljö- och klimatarbete integreras på kommunal nivå. En stor del av koldioxidutsläpp och miljöförstöring sker genom aktiviteter och beslut av individer och organisationer på lokal nivå. Sverige har ett starkt kommunalt självstyre och stora möjligheter att göra skillnad. Det strategiska miljö- och klimatarbetetThis study aims to illustrate the complexity when integrating environmental and climate strategic questions in local governments. The study gives an account for significant aspects when mainstreaming environment and climate consideration in municipality organizations, what obstacles there are and how it can be organized in order to be more successful. For this purpose a qualitative approach has be

Spelar enzymerna verkligen någon roll? Bakterien Escherichia coli, mer känd som E. coli är till stor hjälp vid många processer för produktion av proteiner. E. colis inre maskinerier kan utnyttjas för att producera proteiner som vi människor behöver. Produktion av proteiner med E. coli är viktig för att kunna producera vissa läkemedel; till exempel proteinet insulin. Insulin är ovärderligt för de

I detta kandidatarbete stod en fråga i fokus: vilken roll spelar kvantsammanflätning i en kvantmekanisk Otto-motor? För den allmänna läsaren kan denna fråga låta ganska obegriplig: Vad är kvantsammanflätning? Vad är en kvantmekanisk Otto-motor? Och kanske allra viktigast –- varför är detta överhuvudtaget intressant att utforska? Syftet med denna sammanfattning är att försöka besvara dessa frågor, An emerging research topic in quantum thermodynamics is the study of entangled quantum heat engines, where the working medium consists of an entangled quantum system. These engines offer exciting platforms for exploring fundamental aspects of quantum thermodynamics, its intersection with quantum information theory and the nature of entanglement in general. In this bachelor’s thesis, the performanc

Skalning och modellering av en kromatografikolonn för rening av sockerlösningar. För att uppnå klimatmålen behöver fossila råvaror inom kemiindustrin bytas ut mot förnybara råvaror. Socker är en råvara med stor potential inom industrin, men är ofta förorenat med salter. Därför utforskas rening av sockerlösningar här. För att använda socker som förnybar råvara för kemiindustri behöver sockret oftaTo utilize sugars as a feedstock for renewable industries, the feedstock often needs to be very pure. This is due to ionic species contaminating the sugar feedstock being potent catalyst poisons in many cases. To remove ionic species from the sugar feedstock, it is dissolved and purified using packed ion-exchange columns. In this report, a lab-scale setup of a large scale ion-exchange setup was co
