It is increasingly important to rapidly receive information on the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria due to the rise in antimicrobial resistance worldwide. However, traditional phenotypic methods are time-consuming. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop a rapid assay that can detect antibiotic-resistant bacterial isolates phenotypically in less than 2 h. The microplate assay used
The purpose of this article is to describe and analyse the growth in food aid in Sweden, and how it affects the non-profit organisations providing it. The particular type of food aid in focus is large-scale collaborations between charitable non-profit organisations and the food industry, through which food surplus is turned into food aid for people in food insecurity. The first examples of such fo
Measurements of the substructure of top-quark jets are presented, using Formula Presented of 13 TeV Formula Presented collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Top-quark jets reconstructed with the anti-Formula Presented algorithm with a radius parameter Formula Presented are selected in top-quark pair (Formula Presented) events where one top quark decays semileptonically and the
We present a search for magnetic monopoles and high-electric-charge objects using LHC Run (Formula presented.) TeV proton-proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector. A total integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1 was collected by a specialized trigger. No highly ionizing particle candidate was observed. Considering the Drell-Yan and photon-fusion pair production mechanisms as benchmark models, cr
We present performance studies of the Time-of-Flight (ToF) subdetector of the ATLAS Forward Proton (AFP) detector at the LHC. Efficiencies and resolutions are measured using high-statistics data samples collected at low and moderate pile-up in 2017, the first year when the detectors were installed on both sides of the interaction region. While low efficiencies are observed, of the order of a few p
The Swedish public librarians’ union (SFF) was founded in 1938 and joined the larger DIK union in 1972. SFF’s roots can be traced back to a union of library assistants at Stockholm’s library. From its start, SFF fought for higher wages and improved status for public librarians. SFF’s repertoire for collective confrontations consists of methods inspired by theworkers’ and civil servants’ movements.
This article focuses on citizens’ experiences of enablers of- and barriers to obtaining digital citizenship. E-applications for social assistance are used as an exemplar. In Sweden, as in many countries, there is political pressure on welfare services to become more digitalized, and to offer different kinds of self-service technology such as e-applications. Even if the goals of implementing these
Shared housing is a rather unusual phenomenon in Sweden. However, due to the decreasing availability of affordable housing and a large share of single-person households in urban areas, sharing is on the rise and new forms of shared housing have entered the market. By analysing how shared housing overlaps with existing patterns of socioeconomic segregation and by interviewing developers of diverse
Collaboration across disciplines and stakeholders is important in handling complex societal problems. Even if collaborating is acknowledged as contributing towards societal change and innovation, collaborators’ emotional experiences during development, consolidation and completion of a given project are underexplored. This article discusses emotional labour in three cross-sectoral collaborations u
In this report, we analyse attrition at the two most recent data collection points of the longitudinal Swedish project “Deliberate self-harm, emotion regulation, and interpersonal relations in youth”, that collected survey data from the same cohort in 2007 (T1), 2008 (T2), 2017 (T3), and 2023 (T4). We compared T4 responders and non-responders using variables assessed at T1−T3, and T3 responders an
The ATLAS trigger system is a crucial component of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. It is responsible for selecting events in line with the ATLAS physics programme. This paper presents an overview of the changes to the trigger and data acquisition system during the second long shutdown of the LHC, and shows the performance of the trigger system and its components in the proton-proton collisions du
Exhibition of video works by iconic American artist, Jack Pierson curated by Alejandro Cesarco at Galería Elba Benítez, Madrid (Spain)/08/ presents three refreshing videos by iconic American artist Jack Pierson, recorded in Hollywood, Florida, in 1997. Like the rest of his work, these three videos are driven by desire and that desire—mediated, just out of reach — is inextricably linked to differen
Soloexhibition in Berlin.A conditional sentence is formed by a main clause (the consequence), a conjunction (if), and a conditional clause (the condition). There are four standard types of conditionals. Cesarco’s exhibition proceeds from the given to the not given, comparing what is with what could be or might have been. In some ways, this is equivalent to what happens in the studio, or what happe
Introduction: Obesity continues to be a growing problem and places a significant burden on the healthcare system by increasing the risk of developing various diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D, in turn, increases the risk of developing other diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), neuropathy, and nephropathy. Furthermore, obesity and T2D are closely linked to liver diseases, p
Chosen Memories brings together contemporary works by Latin American artists who have been investigating history as source material for their work.
Subtitled / Subtitulado is an open-ended reflection on the figure of the artist and is anchored around two central works: Midcareer, a new video work that addresses the advantages and difficulties of midcareerness, and The Style it Takes (Excerpts), an older (and upended) photographic work, which explores the social function of art and the shifting roles of the artist persona. Style, that which is
Importance: Repeat expansion of CGG in LRP12 has been identified as the causative variation of oculopharyngodistal myopathy (OPDM). However, to our knowledge, the clinicopathologic features of OPDM with CGG repeat expansion in LRP12 (hereafter referred to as OPDM_LRP12) remain unknown. Objective: To identify and characterize the clinicopathologic features of patients with OPDM_LRP12. Design, Setti
