OBJECTIVE: To externally validate the Paediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) rule for identifying febrile infants aged <60 days at low risk of serious bacterial infections (SBIs) and assess the utility of the rule with C reactive protein (CRP) instead of procalcitonin (PCT).METHODS: Secondary analysis of data from the Management and Outcomes of Fever in Children in Europe (MOF
This study focuses on the introduction of new nuclear, particularly Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in Sweden. The Swedish Government has decided on a revival for nuclear energy where SMRs are an important contribution to reach the goal of a total output of at least 2 500 MW by 2035. In this stage when much is unclear about the re-introduction and SMRs are under development media is an important age
Bladder cancer is the ninth most common type of cancer globally, and the projected number of deaths is estimated to almost double by the year 2040. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors has revolutionized treatment of bladder cancer and can achieve durable responses; however, only a minority of patients respond. By identifying additional targets and treatment combinations, more patients could b
While leadership is generally understood as an agentic process, there are divergent positions in the literature regarding the extent to which agency is to be understood as centralized in individuals and individual actions or distributed among actors and located in the collaborative process itself. In this study, we align with post-heroic studies of the realization of moments of leadership through
Data and code are essential for ensuring the credibility of scientific results and facilitating reproducibility, areas in which journal sharing policies play a crucial role. However, in ecology and evolution, we still do not know how widespread data- and code-sharing policies are, how accessible they are, and whether journals support data and code peer review. Here, we first assessed the clarity,
This chapter aims to establish a conceptual framework for analyzing the EU legal space and its core-periphery dynamics, notably the extension of EU legal frameworks and policies beyond the territorial borders of the Union. It investigates how the EU legal space is defined, how its cores and peripheries are structured, and how they interact, evolve, and influence each other. The chapter argues that
In the pursuit of sustainable chemical production, feedstock diversification is essential. Lignosulfonates, a water-soluble aromatic byproduct of the sulfite pulping process, offer a green alternative for producing value-added compounds such as vanillin via oxidative depolymerization. However, current depolymerization processes are not comparable due to inconsistencies in feedstocks and a lack of
I denna avhandling undersöktes exekutiva funktioner (EF) hos svenska barn och ungdomar. EF definierades som en uppsättning neurokognitiva processer som reglerar kognitiva, emotionella och beteendemässiga aktiviteter, viktiga för målinriktat handlande. EF bedömdes med hjälp av själv-, föräldra- och lärarskattningar av den första och andra upplagan av Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function This thesis examines executive functioning (EF) among Swedish youth. EF is defined as a set of neurocognitive processes regulating cognitive, emotional, and behavioral activities essential for goal-directed behavior. I assessed EF using the self-, parent-, and teacher-report forms from the original and second editions of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF and BRIEF2). A pri
Akademiska utbildningar i främmande språk är på många sätt ovanliga utbildningar i högre utbildning. Utbildningarna har krav på sig att vara vetenskapligt breda samtidigt som det finns stora behov av och förväntningar på grundläggande språkfärdighetsträning. Främmande språk studeras med flera olika syften, både för bredd och djup, och av studenter i olika skeden av livet och med heterogen bakgrund
Denna avhandling undersöker hur Halle-pietismen blev en central plats för framväxten av pastoralt biomaktutövande, där själavård och hälsostyrning systematiskt vävdes samman. Med fokus på August Hermann Franckes och Christian Friedrich Richters rationliteter samt den institutionella ordningen i Die Franckeschen Anstalten (1698–1759) utmanar studien den dominerande berättelsen om att biomakt och fo
ABSTRACTBackground: A child's hospitalization in a paediatric intensive care unit is a stressful experience for parents. Measuring paren-tal satisfaction may indicate how parents are affected by the experience. Satisfaction with care is closely connected to the overallquality of care.Aim: The aim was to explore parental satisfaction with paediatric intensive care.Study Design and Method: A cross-s
Climate change and human activities threaten the availability and quality of fresh water resources globally, especially in less developed countries, where poverty and natural disaster risks are present. Despite important research efforts, gaps still exist regarding the understanding of the spatial-temporal variations of water quality and the movement of organic matter within tropical mountain lake
Being a foster parent is not a profession and does not provide a salary—a placed child is supposed to be given a life in a regular family. However, foster parents receive fees and reimbursements, and they may be offered supervision and professional training. Researchers often emphasize the mixed nature of foster care, balancing between work and family, but it is less common to examine how foster p
BACKGROUND: Multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii remains a global concern with its ability to adhere, disperse and sustain in areas involving suboptimal infection control measures, particularly in war areas. In this study we aimed to evaluate the susceptibility profiles, molecular epidemiology and pathogenesis of A. baumannii isolates from conflict zones in Ukraine.METHODS: A. baumannii wou
Geographic information systems are used to integrate historical water quality data with information layers derived from diverse sources and represents important tools for the water resources management at watershed scale. This study aimed to collect data sources at the watershed level and compare coincident water quality parameters to find spatial and temporal changes related to land use / land co
Purpose: We aim to investigate the characteristics and evaluate the performance of synthetic mammograms (SMs) based on wide-angle digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) compared with digital mammography (DM). Approach: Fifty cases with both synthetic and digital mammograms were selected from the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial. They were categorized into five groups consisting of normal cas
