This thematic issue of the Complex Systems Informatics and Modeling Quarterly (CSIMQ) journal is dedicated to fostering a socio-technical perspective in the Information Systems (IS) field. The contemporary perspective has developed a lot over the years and the socio-technical agenda continues to be relevant. The issue contains a selection of extended papers presented at STPIS’19 – 5th Internation
BACKGROUND: Patients with kidney failure have a high risk for cardiovascular events. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic importance of selected biomarkers related to haemostasis, endothelial function, and vascular regulation in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to study whether this association differed in patients with renal dysfunction.METHODS: Plasma was collected in 1370 ACS pat
Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of death and cardiovascular events and people with diabetes or prediabetes have been found to have increased atherosclerotic burden in the coronary and carotid arteries. This study will estimate the cross-sectional prevalence of atherosclerosis in the coronary and carotid arteries in individuals with prediabetes and diabetes, compare
Multiple DNA polymerases exist in eukaryotes. Polymerases α, δ and ε are mainly responsible for chromosomal DNA replication in the nucleus and are required for proliferation. In contrast, the repair polymerases β and η are not essential for cellular proliferation in yeast or mice, but a lack of either polymerase can lead, respectively, to defects in base excision repair or the ability to replicate
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces rapid protein aggregation in human wound fluid. We aimed to characterize these LPS-induced aggregates and their functional implications using a combination of mass spectrometry analyses, biochemical assays, biological imaging, cell experiments, and animal models. The wound-fluid aggregates encompass diverse protein classes, including sequences from coagul
Objective: We aimed to test whether region-specific factors, including spatial expression patterns of the tau-encoding gene MAPT and regional levels of amyloid positron emission tomography (PET), enhance connectivity-based modeling of the spatial variability in tau-PET deposition in the Alzheimer disease (AD) spectrum. Methods: We included 685 participants (395 amyloid-positive participants within
Background The efficacy of the interception and purification mechanism for low-dose toxic contaminants in riverbeds, which serve as a link between surface water and groundwater, is of paramount importance in ensuring groundwater safety, particularly considering the replenishment of reclaimed water. The specific objective of this work is to identify the variation of interception efficiency and tran
Introduction: Vulvar cancer is a rare gynecological cancer affecting mostly older women. The aim of this population-based study was to investigate the incidence and net survival of vulvar cancer in Swedish women from 1960 to 2019. Material and methods: Data were retrieved from the mandatory Swedish Cancer Registry consisting of all women diagnosed with vulvar cancer between 1960 and 2019. Only wom
While more and more businesses incorporate sustainability in their core business strategy, there has recently been a shift from corporate social responsibility (CSR) to the notion of creating shared value (CSV). The thesis investigates this paradigm shift, aiming to understand the underlying dynamics and the impact CSV has on the company and its stakeholders. An analytical tool in form of a framew
During the Devonian, 377 Ma ago, the Earth was impacted by a large celestial body, striking ground in the Siljan area in Dalarna, Sweden. The impact created what is today the largest confirmed impact structure in western Europe. Since its formation, the structure has however been heavily eroded, leaving no trace of the original crater. Today, it is instead recognizable due to the central plateau a
This thesis analyzes the way peace and justice interact within the latest Colombian peace process between 2012-2016. This process was the first attempts at ending hostilities between the government and the FARC-EP in a decade. This thesis is carried out as an idea analysis of three different material categories: joint material from peace-negotiations, and materials attributed to the government or
The way a society remembers its past is crucial for how it deals with its present. Migration is one of these historically continuous events that produce memory cultures, which affect how refugees and migrants are perceived today. This thesis presents a case study of mediated memory cultures of migration in Germany. Mediations of migration history from two strikingly similar periods of condensed so
The purpose of this qualitative case study is to contribute to increased understanding of men’s perception of abortion in a Mexican context characterized by strong abortion resistance and machismo norms. It also explores how SRHR organizations in Mexico are addressing the abortion resistance through tackling these norms and (dis)engaging men. The empirical material was gathered in Mexico City thro
Den samiska ursprungsbefolkningens traditionella territorium breder ut sig över delar av Sverige, Norge, Finland och Ryssland. Samisk kultur är starkt kopplad till rennäringen, som kräver vidsträckta och sammanhängande marker där renen ostörd kan få tillgång till naturbete. Den här uppsatsen undersöker nuvarande möjligheter för samer i Sverige att påverka beslutsprocesser rörande användning av marThe traditional territory of the indigenous Sami people stretches into Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia. Sami culture is strongly connected to reindeer husbandry, which requires vast and coherent land where the reindeer can access natural pasture without disturbances. This thesis examines present possibilities for Sami in Sweden to impact decision-making processes regarding use of land and natur

Agenda 2030 Graduate School monthly newsletter #11 2024-12-09 Ylva van Meeningen Hi! Christmas preparations are in the air and it seems to be in a hurry this year. I think I am the last one on my street who have not set up my tree yet and everywhere you go there are lit up candy canes or little polar bears sitting around makeshift camp fires. There is even a house down the street who were not sati
