Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease. Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are crucial for the serological diagnosis of RA, where Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been suggested to be an environmental agent in triggering the onset of the disease. This study aimed to analyse antibody reactivity to citrullinated EBV nuclear antigen-2 (EBNA-2) peptides from three dif

This study investigates the relationship between standard of living and environmental performance by analyzing the components of standard of living: income per capita, educational level, and life expectancy across both high- and low-income countries. The study finds a positive correlation between standard of living and environmental performance in all countries. However, this relationship is only

The aim of this study was to rank the rate and risk ratio of subject injury following exposure to less-lethal force modalities in real-life police interventions. The purpose was to observe whether the use of conductive electrical weapons (CEW) qualifies as a low-risk modality of force, with a similar risk of adverse health outcomes as exposure to other less-lethal modalities, such as physical forc

Syftet: Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka i vilken mån tänkesättet bakom begreppet kundlojalitet används i samarbetet mellan Resurs Bank och butikerna, samt att analysera hur kundlojalitetsprogram kan användas för att fördjupa samarbetet mellan en sidoleverantör och dess betjänade butiker. Undersökningsfrågor: Hur arbetar Resurs Bank med sin kundlojalitet? Hur värvar Resurs Bank sina kunder

Background: In accordance with the EULAR recommendations, the Danish Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases have systematically invited patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment since 2011. Patients with high risk are invited to a follow-up screening after one year. To optimize the screening and tailor it to individual needs, information about who accepts vs. declines

Characterization of microbial communities in stressful conditions at a field level is rather scarce, especially when considering fungal communities from aboveground habitats. We aimed at characterizing fungal communities from different poplar habitats at a Hg-contaminated phytomanagement site by using Illumina-based sequencing, network analysis approach, and direct isolation of Hg-resistant fungal

Euklidisk geometri var den första ge- ometrin som man stötte på i grundskolan, allt från trianglar till cirklar. Samtidigt fick man lära sig att inget av dessa objekt finns i verk- ligheten. Det var inte förrän Benoı̂t Mandelbrot (1924-2010) insåg att många naturfenomen är så oregelbundna och komplexa att de inte kan beskrivas med euklidisk geometri. I detta sam- manhang verkar Mandelbrots citat vLet $\dim_H(\mathcal{J}_\epsilon)$ and $\dim_H(\mathcal{J}_{i\epsilon})$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of the polynomials $f_\epsilon(z) = z^2 -2 -\epsilon$ and $f_{i\epsilon}(z) = z^2 -2 +i\epsilon$ receptively for small $\epsilon>0$. This thesis contains two main Theorems, both dealing with the upper bound for the asymptotic behaviour of $\dim_H(\mathcal{J}_\epsilon)$ and $\dim

Studies increasingly suggest that personal predispositions affect political attitudes, including those towards the European Union (EU). Yet little is known about the extent to which personality effects on EU support generalize across European countries or attitude domains. We use original survey data from five EU member states (Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) to investiga

In targeted radionuclide radiotherapy, the relationship between bone marrow (BM) toxicity and absorbed dose seems to be elusive. A compartmental model of mouse thrombopoiesis and erythropoiesis was set up to predict the depletion of hematopoietic cells as a function of the irradiation dose delivered to BM by injected radiopharmaceuticals. All simulated kinetics were compared with experimental toxi

Young adults consistently show lower levels of political participation compared to older citizens which is a pattern that threatens democratic inclusiveness. While there exists research that has emphasized structural and resource-based explanations, this study aims to investigate whether Self-Determination Theory (SDT) can offer additional insights into this gap. Using survey data from the Europea

Herbivory is an important part of most ecosystems and affects the ecosystems' carbon balance both directly and indirectly. Little is known about herbivory and its impact on the carbon balance in high arctic mire ecosystems. We hypothesized that trampling and grazing by large herbivores influences the vegetation density and composition and thereby also the carbon balance. In 2010, we established fe

Background: Cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may be beneficial for treating depression and improving mood. However, evidence regarding their effects remains inconsistent, with some studies reporting links to mood disturbances. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to determine the impact of statins on psychological wellbeing of

Populärvetenskaplig ammanfattning Den Arktiska tundran har påverkats mycket av klimatförändringarna de senaste årtiondena. Den pågående uppvärmningen gör att djupet på det aktiva lagret ökar och att buskiga växter, som annars inte trivs i den kalla miljön, vandrar in på tundran. Forskarna för att dessa förändringar kan leda till att de Arktiska ekosystemen blir en källa för koldioxid (CO₂), iställClimate change has affected ecosystem structure and composition in the Arctic during the last few decades. Researchers have observed a greening trend as the active layer depth is increasing due to rising air- and soil temperatures. Align with climatologic factors, Arctic ecosystems have a long history of grazing by large mammalian herbivores and geese. The Grazing Optimization Hypothesis suggests

Overproduction and purification of membrane proteins are generally challenging and time-consuming procedures due to low expression levels, misfolding, and low stability once extracted from the membrane. Reducing processing steps and shortening the timespan for purification represent attractive approaches to overcome some of these challenges. We have therefore compared a fast “teabag” purification

Background Semaglutide is a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue, suitable for once-weekly subcutaneous administration, in development for treatment of type 2 diabetes. We assessed the efficacy and safety of semaglutide versus the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on metformin, thiazolidinediones, or both.
