Living in the Borderland : Young Migrant Converts in the Church of Sweden

From 2014 to 2016, 44,617 unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) arrived in Sweden and sought asylum. The Church of Sweden has received hundreds of these young people seeking to join the church and be baptised as Christians. Conversion to Christianity among asylum seekers in Europe is a well-documented phenomenon that is often dismissed as merely a strategy to boost asylum chances. This dissertation

Decreased neutrophil function in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients is restored with lenalidomide therapy

OBJECTIVES: Bacterial infections are common and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in multiple myeloma (MM). We have investigated the function of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN), the immune system's first line of defense against bacteria, in peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) samples from patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM), smoldering MM (SMM), monoclonal gammopathy of undeter

Rättsutredning: strukturfondspartnerskapens konstitutionella ställning, jäv m.m.

Denna rättsutredning har tillkommit på uppdrag av Utredningen om hantering av EU-medel och ingår som en bilaga i utredningens slutbetänkande SOU 2024:22 (bilaga 4). Det övergripande temat är strukturfondspartnerskapens rättsliga status, men även ett antal andra frågor med relevans för utredningens arbete berörs, såsom jäv.

Exploring beta-mannan acting glycosidase families in hydrolysis and mannosyl transfer

The thesis revolves around the study of glycoside hydrolases (GH), specifically GH5 β-mannanases and GH36 α-galactosidase (I-III), as well as a GH130 mannoside phosphorylase (I, IV). These enzymes are investigated for their actions on and conversion of hemicellulosic β-mannan, including food-grade galactomannan and softwood galactoglucomannan, along with manno-oligosaccharides (MOS) derived from s

Israel Unleashed? : A Brazen Campaign Against Iranian Targets Could Backfire

On April 1, Israel launched its latest attack on Iran in the two countries’ ongoing shadow war, with an airstrike that flattened a section of Iran’s embassy complex in Damascus and reportedly killed at least 12 people. Among the dead was Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who headed Iran’s military operations in Syria and Lebanon, where he worked for decades and became a close interlocutor with Hezbollah and i

Ett års erfarenheter av mobilt team närsjukvård Landskrona -fortsatt positiva tongångar

Föreliggande rapport kan ses som en fortsättning på uppföljningen av nära vård och mobila team som redovisas i KEFU rapporten; Samordnad och personcentrerad vård i hemmet - En fallstudie av Mobilt team Närsjukvård Landskrona” (KEFU rapport 2023:1). Uppföljningen av pilotprojektets första fem månader i Landskrona visade på många positiva effekter. Föreliggande rapports uppföljning efter ett års erf

Iterative nanoparticle bioengineering enabled by x-ray fluorescence imaging

Nanoparticles (NPs) are currently developed for drug delivery and molecular imaging. However, they often get intercepted before reaching their target, leading to low targeting efficacy and signal-to-noise ratio. They tend to accumulate in organs like lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen. The remedy is to iteratively engineer NP surface properties and administration strategies, presently a time-consum

Using AquaCrop for Irrigation and water productivity assessment of Table grapes in arid region of Mexico

The aim of this work is to use the AquaCrop model for irrigation and water productivity assessment of Table grapes in arid region of Mexico during 2005 and 2006 cropping seasons. The irrigation efficiency was investigated by comparing the irrigation scheduling design used by the farmer to the AquaCrop model recommendations. Data analysis showed that the farmer irrigates almost every day, which res

Sub-Nanomolar Detection of Oligonucleotides Using Molecular Beacons Immobilized on Lightguiding Nanowires

The detection of oligonucleotides is a central step in many biomedical investigations. The most commonly used methods for detecting oligonucleotides often require concentration and amplification before detection. Therefore, developing detection methods with a direct read-out would be beneficial. Although commonly used for the detection of amplified oligonucleotides, fluorescent molecular beacons h

The bar pattern speed of the Large Magellanic Cloud

Context. The internal kinematics of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have been studied in unprecedented depth thanks to the excellent quality of the Gaia mission data, thus revealing the disc’s non-axisymmetric structure. Aims. We seek to constrain the LMC bar pattern speed using the astrometric and spectroscopic data from the Gaia mission. Methods. We applied three methods to evaluate the bar pat

Developers’ Perspective on Today’s and Tomorrow’s Programming Tool Assistance: A Survey

Software development is a complex activity that needs a lot of tool assistance. Over the years there has been a lot of effort put into development of automated assistance to help with activities such as detection of issues via program analysis, or refactoring of code. Recently, the landscape of developer tool assistance is being disrupted with the entry of AI tools, such as Copilot and ChatGPT, po

Influence of swirl intensity on combustion dynamics and emissions in an ammonia-enriched methane/air combustor

Ammonia (NH3) has been widely considered as a promising carbon-free energy and hydrogen carrier for various applications. The large-scale direct utilization of NH3 as fuel in gas turbine engines is currently attracting significant interest, with strong focuses on improving the efficiency and stability of the system and reducing the emissions of pollutants. The present study experimentally examined

The EAT-Lancet Diet Index, Plasma Proteins, and Risk of Heart Failure in a Population-Based Cohort

BACKGROUND: The landmark EAT-Lancet Commission proposed that a planetary health diet is comprised mainly of plant-based foods. However, studies examining whether this diet is associated with heart failure (HF) are currently lacking. In addition, the potential proteomics mechanism on the association between diet and HF warrants further elucidation.OBJECTIVES: This study aims to both examine the ass

The effects of gaze-display feedback on medical students’ self-monitoring and learning in radiology

Self-monitoring is essential for effectively regulating learning, but difficult in visual diagnostic tasks such as radiograph interpretation. Eye-tracking technology can visualize viewing behavior in gaze displays, thereby providing information about visual search and decision-making. We hypothesized that individually adaptive gaze-display feedback improves posttest performance and self-monitoring

Tumor Budding is a Weak Predictor of Oncological Outcomes in Colorectal Cancer: A Cohort Study

Background: Tumor budding (Bd) is a suggested risk factor for recurrence and decreased survival in colorectal cancer. Histopathological detection of Bd indicates increased invasive and migratory potential of the tumor cells.Objectives: This study aimed to explore the impact of Bd on oncological outcomes.Design: Retrospective cohort study.Patient and Methods: Patients treated with abdominal curativ
