Hand-held power tools with high levels of vibration can give rise to hand–arm vibration syndrome, involving chronic nerve and vascular damage. The objective of this study was to identify aspects that could affect the implementation and future use of low-vibration tools in four types of industries: construction, quarrying, steelworks and dental laboratories. Field visits including observations and

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this work was to explore associations between type 1 diabetes progression from stages 1 or 2 to stage 3 and interacting ligand-receptor complexes of HLA class I (HLA-I) and KIR gene products.METHODS: Applying next-generation sequencing technology to genotype HLA-I genes (HLA-A, -B, -C) and KIR genes (KIR2DL1, KIR2DL2, KIR2DL3, KIR2DL4, KIR2DL5, KIR2DS1, KIR2DS2, KIR2DS3

Cannabisaktivism, en del av Argentinas bredare tradition av sociala rörelser, har utvecklats till ett dynamiskt fält för motstånd och påverkansarbete – särskilt när det gäller medicinsk cannabis, som hamnade i fokus år 2015. Faktum är att min avhandling tog sin startpunkt i och med att jag etablerade kontakt med Mama Cultiva, en sammanslutning av mödrar, som spelade en aktiv roll i skapandet av enCannabis activism, which is embedded in Argentina’s broader tradition of social movements, has become a dynamic field of resistance and advocacy, particularly regarding medicinal cannabis, which came into focus in 2015. Indeed, the research for my thesis began by establishing contact with Mama Cultiva, a mothers’ organisation that played an active role in the creation of a new cannabis law and dra

The number of users and the information transmitted over wireless networks have been growing constantly during the last decades. Nowadays, the pace of this growth is extremely sharp because of the new applications which heavily rely on wireless networks to meet users' demands. Wireless networks infrastructures are constantly developing to meet these demands. Massive multiple-input multiple-output

Långvarig förskrivning av opioidläkemedel är en komplex klinisk situation där indikationen långvarig icke-malign smärta är mindre önskvärd men ändå förekommer.Problematisk användning av opioider eller utvecklande av opioidbrukssyndrom förekommer i populationen. Nedtrappning med planerat stöd och uppföljning är en medicinsk intervention som bör övervägas.Potentiella fördelar inkluderar ökad patient

This article is concerned with the estimation of aggregate relationships among a potentially large number of panel data variables in the presence of unobserved heterogeneity in the form of interactive effects, an empirically very relevant scenario that has not been considered before. One of our findings is that if the regressors load on the same set of latent factors as the dependent variable, whi

Bryt tystnaden och värna den akademiska friheten. Vi uppmanar ledare för svenska lärosäten att agera enligt sina egna etiska principer och ta ställning mot folkmordshandlingar i Gaza och angrepp på det palestinska utbildningssystemet, att försvara studenters rätt till fredliga protester och att avsluta samarbeten med universitet som är delaktiga i krigsbrott, skriver åtta forskare och akademiska l

BACKGROUND: The climacteric is the period in a woman's life that includes the transition from reproductive to non-reproductive. The woman's experience is individual, but common symptoms include irregular bleeding patterns, hot flashes, sweating, and sleep problems. Primary care should be the first instance for women seeking treatment for menopausal symptoms, and the district nurse thus plays a vit

The growing global population has increased the demand for circular sanitation solutions that enhance energy and nutrient recovery. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of blackwater (BW) offers a promising solution, but its application in full-scale UASB reactors remains unexplored. This study evaluated the performance of a full-scale UASB (50 m3) treating BW collected from a new city district (Oceanhamnen)

To address the need for sustainable wastewater treatment, we developed sp2‑carbon-rich, hierarchically porous electrodes by upcycling sewage sludge ash (SSA) and biochar (CB) using a hybrid 3D printing and microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) approach. The CB-containing electrode exhibited a 260-fold increase in BET surface area (0.15 to 40.6 m2 g−1), but the lowest electro

Foster care provides a family‐like upbringing for children who cannot stay with their biological parents for various reasons. While the practice of paying foster parents is not questioned, the level of the fee and how it is spent (or not spent) are morally charged matters. Foster parents’ motives may be questioned by the media, neighbors, or social workers, who may suspect financial gain. Although

The spatial organisation of shopping and retail has been transformed significantly since the 1980s, commonly being conceptualised as ‘retail decentralisation.’ This shift involves the displacement of retail from town centres to out-of-town establishments and, more recently, to digital platforms, creating a noticeable vacuum. Consequently, the topic of the ‘death of town centres’ has become a signi

Objective To explore teaching- and assessment-related factors that predict medical students' perceived attainment of sufficient skills to incorporate scientific evidence into patient care. Methods An anonymous questionnaire was distributed to final-semester students in six medical programs in Sweden. The students were asked to rate statements concerning the extent to which 11 national degree outco

Aims: Embryonal tumours with PLAGL1 or PLAGL2 amplification (ET, PLAGL) show substantial heterogeneity regarding their clinical characteristics and have been treated inconsistently, resulting in diverse outcomes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical behaviour of ET, PLAGL and elucidate their response pattern across the different applied treatment regimens. Methods: We conducted an in-d

Following the recent resurgence of capitalism as a key subject in historical analysis, historians have highlighted the globally interconnected making and remaking of capitalism. Commodity-centred histories in global history have shown how to write locally grounded histories of global capitalism emphasising the complex and contingent relationship between the local and the global. In these accounts,

Superconductor-semiconductor hybrid systems play a crucial role in realizing nanoscale quantum devices, including hybrid qubits, Majorana bound states, and Kitaev chains. For such hybrid devices, subgap states play a prominent role in their operation. In this paper, we study these subgap states via Coulomb and tunneling spectroscopy through a superconducting island defined in a semiconductor nanow

Objective: For better management of RA, new biomarkers are needed to predict the development of different disease courses. This study aims to identify autoantibodies against epitopes on proteins in the joints and to predict disease outcome in patients with new onset RA. Methods: Sera from new-onset RA patients from the Swedish BARFOT (Better Anti Rheumatic PharmacOTherapy) and TIRA-2 (Swedish acro
