Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the ongoing discussion on how the field of facility management is changing and the role a regional innovation system (RIS) can take place to support this change, with a specific focus on the role of gender and innovation. Design/methodology/approach: The study builds partly on interactive research, and as a complement, qualitative semi-structu

Abstract Background: Dyspnea is a common manifestation of a range of conditions and diseases, sometimes with multiple contributing factors. A subgroup of these patients present with acute hypecapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) and are treated with non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV). Despite the biomarkers and clinical signs available to predict outcome in patients with respiratory fa

There is currently limited understanding of the genetic aetiology of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). We aimed to identify genetic loci associated with OSA risk, and to test if OSA and its comorbidities share a common genetic background. We conducted the first large-scale genome-wide association study of OSA using the FinnGen study (217 955 individuals) with 16 761 OSA patients identified using nat

Only well-maintained railway systems can function without severe interruptions. However,maintenance activities can themselves cause train delays if they conflict with trainmovements. Trackwork refers to maintenance performed on a railway track. This studyaims to investigate the effect of trackwork on train delays in Sweden. It presents a logisticregression analysis based on more than 225,000 plann

Objective: To identify clinical and histopathological risk factors of LNM in T1 CRC. Summary of Background Data: The requisite of additional surgery after locally resected T1 CRC is dependent on the risk of LNM. Depth of submucosal invasion is used as a key predictor of lymphatic metastases although data are conflicting on its actual impact. Methods: Retrospective population-based cohort study on

Geographical clustering (colocation) influences new firm survival; however, not all new firms within a cluster are impacted equally. In this paper, we elaborate on how the colocation of local entrepreneurs may have different influences on new firm founder's learning depending on his/her fit, in terms of his/her experiential relatedness, to that of local entrepreneurs. We then associate such founde

Universities are a relevant and little-explored context to the study of strategic action, considering their need to adapt to environmental dynamics and establish a closer relationship with society. This study contributes to shedding light on how the changing process from a traditional university model to a more entrepreneurial model takes place. Thus, this study aims to analyze the role played by

What explains affective polarization among voters and societal groups? Much of the existing literature focusing on mass political polarization in modern democracies originates in the US, where studies have shown that, while ideological separation has grown, political conflict increasingly reflects social identity divisions rather than policy disagreements, resulting in affective polarization. We f

Denna artikel diskuterar arkivkällor med känslig information och behovet av olika etiska angreppssätt. Avsikten med att lyfta dessa frågor är att frambringa en diskussion om hur historiker kan arbeta med känsligt material på ett etiskt sätt. Artikeln lyfter fram främst tre begrepp: processetik, omsorgsetik och dygdetik.In comparison to disciplines within the humanities and social sciences working directly with living humans, as well as in comparison to oral history, historians primarily working with archival sources lack a living discussion on ethics in connection with our methods. At the same time, archival sources that contain sensitive personal information are central in many fields – such as queer history –

In 2018, an AI system named by its creator DABUS (Device for the Autonomous Bootstrapping of Unified Sentience) was credited by its creator to have independently invented a neural flame and a fractal container. According to its creator, DABUS is a ‘sentient artificial general intelligence can replicate all aspects of human cognition, including perception, creativity, consciousness, and sentience’

Data generated over nearly two decades clearly demonstrate the importance of epigenetic modifications and mechanisms in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. However, the role of pharmacoepigenetics in type 2 diabetes is less well established. The field of pharmacoepigenetics covers epigenetic biomarkers that predict response to therapy, therapy-induced epigenetic alterations as well as epigenetic

The majority of studies on internal brand equity examine its various dimensions and relationships between them. While prior research specifies organizational practices relevant for successful internal branding, the insights about the impact of essential organizational factors on internal brand equity are still limited.

The aim of this work was to develop a model of an integrated biomass-to-liquid process, consisting of hydrothermal liquefaction, evaporation, gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, using lignocellulosic forest residues as feedstock to produce hydrocarbons suitable for upgrade into drop-in biofuels. The energy, mass and carbon efficiencies that were achieved were 35%, 20% and 32%, respectively

We exploit a large historical shock to the Danish labour market to provide evidence of how restrictions on labour mobility increase monopsony power and thereby reduce wages. By severely limiting the possibility of the rural population to work beyond their place of birth, the reintroduction of serfdom in 1733 aimed to increase monopsony power and secure cheaper labour in the countryside. Using a un

ype 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity are multifactorial and polygenic metabolic diseases. Combinations of genetic and non-genetic risk factors such as risk SNPs, age, unhealthy diets, and physical inactivity increase the risk for these diseases. Emerging data also support a key role for epigenetic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of T2D and obesity. In this chapter, we summarize current knowledge of epi

Målbeskrivningen för den nya sexåriga läkarutbildningen lyfter fram att en läkare ska kunna visa förmåga att självständigt inleda diagnostik och behandling vid livshotande akuta tillstånd. Sedan 2017 har fler än tusen läkarstudenter i Lund genomgått 5 veckors utbildning i akut omhändertagande.Under utbildningen handlägger studenterna ett stort antal olika livshotande akuta tillstånd i fullskalesim
