Objectives: Patients with SLE have an increased risk of comorbidities and impaired survival. We aimed to assess whether various thresholds of oral CS (OCS) can predict development of infections, comorbidities, malignancies and survival in SLE using data from national health registries in Sweden. Methods: All incident SLE cases, age >18 years, in Sweden (n ¼ 5309) between 2005 and 2020 and matched

This paper builds theory on theatrical cultural design in corporate venturing units, such as manifested in playful esthetics (foosball tables and beanbags), startup lingo, or youthful behavior (building with Lego bricks and informal dressing). We develop a set of propositions, illuminating how theatrical cultural design can (de)legitimize corporate venturing units, highlighting three different fun

Summary: Antiresorptive medications do not negatively affect fracture healing in humans. Teriparatide may decrease time to fracture healing. Romosozumab has not shown a beneficial effect on human fracture healing. Background: Fracture healing is a complex process. Uncertainty exists over the influence of osteoporosis and the medications used to treat it on fracture healing. Methods: Narrative revi

Introduction: Resting heart rate has been distinctly related to both internalizing (high pulse) and externalizing (low pulse) disorders. We aimed to explore the associations between resting heart rate and suicidal behavior (nonfatal suicide attempt [SA] and suicide death [SD]) and evaluate if such associations exist beyond the effects of internalizing/externalizing symptomatology. Method: We used

Humanity’s ever-growing energy demands require the implementation of more sustainable ways to harvest and store energy. At the same time, the reduction of greenhouse gas emission and thus global warming remains of paramount importance. To this end, solar energy harvesting presents an attractive route towards satisfying these requirements—be that by conversion to thermal energy, electricity or to c

INTRODUCTION: To support clinical trial designs focused on early interventions, our study determined reliable early amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation based on Centiloids (CL) in pre-dementia populations. METHODS: A total of 1032 participants from the Amyloid Imaging to Prevent Alzheimer's Disease–Prognostic and Natural History Study (AMYPAD-PNHS) and Insight46 who underwent [18F]flutemetamol, [18F]florb

A thin (20–80 cm), patchy layer of silt-rich sediment occurs at the surface throughout Svartedalen, a nature reserve 30 km north of Gothenburg, Sweden. This surface silt mantles a bedrock-dominated, fracture-valley landscape. Using data from grain-size analysis, OSL dating and detrital-zircon U-Pb dating, we argue that the silt is loess sourced from glacial sediment that was eroded from local bedr

In order to change consumption patterns into something that is more sustainable, it is essential that we consider the various and conflicting meanings clothes have in people's lives. This article presents an analysis of diaries written by consumers of different ages and occupations over a period of three months in 2015. These consumers documented their clothing and shoe purchases, took inventory o

Background: The molecular content of urine is defined by filtration in the kidneys and by local release from tissues lining the urinary tract. Pathological processes and different therapies change the molecular composition of urine and a variety of markers have been analyzed in patients with bladder cancer. The response to BCG immunotherapy and chemotherapy has been extensively studied and elevate

During the past decade, gender equality has increasingly been motivated by economic gain, and has been described as a key to economic growth and “good for business”. This article draws on an ethnographic study of professional gender equality consultants in order to explore the effects of market feminism. The participants use entrepreneurship as a form of activism and try to make a difference re

This article presents an ethnographic case study of a corporate-academic group constructing a benchmark dataset of daily activities for a variety of machine learning and computer vision tasks. Using a socio-technical perspective, the article conceptualizes the dataset as a knowledge object that is stabilized by both practical standards (for daily activities, datafication, annotation and benchmarks

Transformational leadership is a theory that has made a significant mark on the leadership research during the last four decades. The basic idea behind the theory is that leaders can transform their followers in ways that leads to improved organizational performance. By focusing on idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration leaders can

In industrial landscapes, spool fabrication industries play a crucial role in the successful completion of numerous industrial projects by providing prefabricated modules. However, the implementation of digitalized sustainable practices in spool fabrication industries is progressing slowly and is still in its embryonic stage due to several challenges. To implement digitalized sustainable manufactu

I maj 2023 genomfördes en arkeologisk forskningsundersökning vid kastalen ”Hagbards källare”, RAÄ 67 i Ronneby socken, Blekinge. Fältarbetena var del av ett projekt som bedrivs vid Lunds universitet kring kastaler i Sverige. Undersökningen innebar en sökschaktsgrävning i området mellan RAÄ67 och RAÄ 668, samt handgrävning av ett antal mindre schakt i anslutning till kastalen. Undersökningarna var

Light absorbing carbonaceous aerosols produced from combustion span over a range of physicochemical properties. Soot is the most recognized species in this category and its formation process involves gradual maturation from amorphous young soot with a high hydrogen-to-carbon-ratio toward mature soot aggregates. In this work, the optical response of a single particle soot photometer (SP2) to electr

In this study, Raman spectroscopy has been used to evaluate the evolution of the structural modification of soot during oxidation processes at various preset temperatures up to 700 °C. Two types of well-characterized mini-CAST soot, representing black soot and brown soot, were examined. The major difference between the signals from the two types of soot was the higher photoluminescence (PL) signal

This study tells the story of two public transport authorities (PTA) in Sweden who developed their own apps. Although this might seem trivial and far-detached from the critical issues discussed in organization studies, this story raises questions of great relevance for this field, namely how digital sovereignty is organized. Digital sovereignty refers to governments trying to take or regain power

The MAX laboratory at Lund University, Sweden, today operates an accelerator system consisting of a 100 MeV racetrack microtron and a 550 MeV storage ring (MAX I). At the moment (July 1994) a new storage ring MAX II is near completion and will start first injections within 2 months. This work gives an overview of the MAX II project including the first beamlines and a description of the accelerator
