For theologians such as Karl Barth the support for Germany’s militaristic ambitions and actions voiced in the manifesto "An die Kulturwelt", published in 1914, was a consequence of the historicization of theology. Ernst Troeltsch (1865-1923), whose interdisciplinary thinking revolved around the significance of history for theology, was labeled the theologian of historicism. Although he had not sig

BackgroundLong‐term survival after single‐ventricle palliation and the effect of dominant ventricle morphology in large, unselected series of patients are scarcely reported.Methods and ResultsThis nationwide cohort study included all children undergoing operation with single‐ventricle palliation during their first year of life in Sweden between January 1994 and December 2019. Data were obtained fr

Artificial intelligence is expected to be the next paradigm shift in technology, akin to the steam engine or electricity in its universality and all-encompassing impact. Regulating an innovation of this magnitude is important, however challenging, as evidenced by the European Union’s recently proposed Artificial Intelligence Act. This thesis sets out to understand the EU as a normative actor in th

So, what does a new life for the old fire station mean? It means that it is possible for a new generation to utilize the Gåsebäck landmark and historical building. The building should be attractive for the investors, for the city, and its inhabitants. The provided opportunities for the development of the building could be considered as a temporary solution for maintaining the history of the Gåsebä

Background: Arginine vasopressin has complex actions in critically ill patients, involving vasoregulatory status, plasma volume, and cortisol levels. Copeptin, a surrogate marker for arginine vasopressin, has shown promising prognostic features in small observational studies and is used clinically for early rule out of acute coronary syndrome. The objective of this study was to explore the associa

OBJECTIVE: There is sparse evidence for the association of suitable food substitutions for red and processed meat on the risk of type 2 diabetes. We modeled the association between replacing red and processed meat with other protein sources and the risk of type 2 diabetes and estimated its population impact.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC)-Inte

PURPOSE: Physical activity (PA) has been linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes by reducing weight and improving insulin sensitivity. We investigated whether PA is associated with a lower incidence of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and whether the association is modified by genotypes of human leukocyte antigen (HLA), transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2)-rs7903146, or the fat ma

Paired records of δ13Ccarb and δ13Corg across the Llandovery-Wenlock boundary demonstrate asynchronous behavior during the onset of the Ireviken Biogeochemical Event (IBE). The extremely high-resolution data produced from the Altajme Core, drilled from Gotland, Sweden, capture a negative excursion in δ13Corg during the initiation of the Ireviken Extinction Event (IEE) and prior to the onset of the

This thesis is dedicating to analysis the contribution of Knutpunkten building which is located in Helsingborg southern Sweden with regards to its visual impact role on the society and environment from its visual appearance of the elements of design mainly colour and light element. Different philosophical conceptions of colour and light from different theoretician notion is using as a main empiric

Despite a global increase in gender equality, intimate partner violence (IPV) still plagues all nations. Moreover, IPV is still a heavily stereotyped crime where women are victims and men are perpetrators. Due to the gendered nature of IPV, information that either conforms or deviates from gender expectations can change the perceptions of perpetrators and victims of IPV. The present study investig

This paper studies cone-preserving linear discrete-time switched systems whose switching is governed by an automaton. For this general system class, we present performance analysis conditions for a broadly usable performance measure. In doing so, we generalize several known results for performance and stability analysis for switched and positive switched systems, providing a unifying perspective.

In this thesis I analyse multiple statements, speeches, and interviews by Jimmie Åkesson, Marine Le Pen, and Viktor Orbán before, during, and after the refugee crisis in 2015. It examines the leaders' rhetorical process on migration in the context of Islam from 2010 to 2024. Furthermore, the thesis explores the development of the leaders' discourse during one of Europe's most challengi

Background: To support care after discharge following surgery for anorectal malformations (ARM) and Hirschsprung's disease (HD), an eHealth device was invented, offering families bilateral communication through chat, photo, questionaries and video. Aim: To explore the impact of eHealth on postoperative patterns of expert consultation, complications and treatment after discharge following surgery f

ObjectiveSputum cultures can guide antibiotic therapy, particularly in severe pneumonia or when resistant pathogens are suspected. However, data on how prior and ongoing antibiotic exposure affects microbial detection are limited. This study aimed to evaluate this impact, stratified by timing and route of administration.MethodsIn- and outpatients from nine hospitals in Skåne, Sweden, who submitted

The lifelong risk of stroke following adverse pregnancy outcomes, and potential causality, are unknown. This study examined five major adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term risk of stroke in a large population-based cohort. Methods A national cohort study was conducted of all 2 201 393 women with a singleton delivery in Sweden during 1973–2015, followed up for stroke through 2018. Cox regressio

Background: Studies on long-term exposure to air pollution at high levels suggest an association with increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to study this relationship at very low levels, less well-studied, yet of public health importance. Methods: The Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) consists of randomly selected subjects aged 50–64 years from six large cities in Swe

Background: We set out to profile the immune mechanisms active in treatment-naïve oligoarticular JIA (oJIA) to improve the knowledge of its immunopathogenesis, to identify potential biomarkers that can aid diagnosis, predictions and that correlate with clinical disease parameters. Methods: Using Olink proteomics (inflammation panel measuring 92 markers), we defined and compared the inflammation pr
