Increased risk of hospitalisation and intensive care admission associated with reported cases of SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 in Norway, December 2020 -May 2021

INTRODUCTION: Since their emergence, SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 have spread worldwide. We estimated the risk of hospitalisation and admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) for infections with B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 in Norway, compared to infections with non-VOC.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using linked individual-level data from national registries, we conducted a cohort stu

Using the Futures Cone in Doctoral Supervision

I denna artikel reflekterar jag över användandet av futures cone och expanded futures cone (hämtade ur queer-teori) som verktyg för dialog och planering mellan handledare och doktorand. Detta görs genom att relatera verktyget till tre typer av handledning: ett produktorienterat, ett processorienterat och ett doktorandorienterat förhållningssätt. Jag hävdar att det är ett underanvänt och mångsidigtThis article is a reflection piece on the use of the futures cone and an expanded futures cone (which draws on queer theory) as a tool for dialogue and planning between the supervisor and the doctoral student. I do so by situating the use of this tool in relation to three supervision typologies: the product-orientated,process-orientatedand doctoral student-orientated approaches. I claim that it is

Length of hospital stay and risk of intensive care admission and in-hospital death among COVID-19 patients in Norway : a register-based cohort study comparing patients fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine to unvaccinated patients

OBJECTIVES: We estimated the length of stay (LoS) in hospital and the intensive care unit (ICU) and risk of admission to ICU and in-hospital death among COVID-19 patients ≥18 years in Norway who had been fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (at least two doses or one dose and previous SARS-CoV-2 infection), compared to unvaccinated patients.METHODS: Using national registry data, we analyzed SARS-

Science and Innovation : A Cyclical Approach

To formally understand cyclicity in innovation and to tie to Schumpeter’s idea about waves of creative destruction, we elaborate upon Thomas Kuhn’s (1962) hypothesis that science evolves through a succession of paradigm life cycles by noting that entrepreneurs recognize the profitability of new scientific theories through a delay. The delay from innovation to entrepreneurship may be due to technol

Disruptive Possibilities: AI and Planetary Health

This short playful piece is a result of my participation in the Collaborative Foresight Cycle on the Futures of AI and Sustainability. Hosted by Media Evolution in Malmö between May and June 2022, the Cycle brought together a broad range of actors to co-create and explore the future possibilities of AI in relation to sustainability. This piece is a response to the hopelessness which has arisen due

Coordinated Load Attacks on Modern Distribution Grids: Modelling and Simulation on a European Medium Voltage Grid with Droop Controlled DERs

The power grid is a fundamental part of the infrastructure that supports modern society, and its importance continues to grow as electrification increases. Furthermore, the rise of renewable energy is changing the operations and structure of power grids. Adding to this complexity is the increasing number of smart devices that are vulnerable to cyberattacks from ill intended adversaries. This creat

Handling the positional and chip-to-chip variations of side-channel monitoring

Side-channel monitoring has the potential to offer a non-intrusive way to assess the behavior of an embedded device by monitoring physical signals such as power consumption or electromagnetic emissions by placing a small measuring probe close to the device. Although studies seem to indicate that it is effective in a laboratory environment with monitoring methods adjusted based on the specific targ

“ALL PTHER PASSPORTS”: An Qualitative Exploration of Identity, State Power, and the Chinese Passport

This thesis examines how Chinese passport holders understand their cross-border mobility and how this understanding forms within the interaction between state narratives and global mobility regimes. Rather than treating mobility inequality only as a structural issue, the study focuses on how it becomes embedded in everyday life through waiting, planning, comparison, and document preparation, makin

The affective style of politics : Evidence from cross-country surveys

We know that emotions matter in politics but less is known about the role of individual ways of processing and responding to emotions, that is, affective styles. Here we report on two surveys, exploring the relationship between affective style (i.e., the individual propensity to either tolerate, adjust, or conceal emotions) and social and political trust. We base our study on large-n representativ

Engineered and decellularized human cartilage graft exhibits intrinsic immunosuppressive properties and full skeletal repair capacity

Tissue engineering strategies predominantly consist of the autologous generation of living substitutes capable of restoring damaged body parts. Persisting challenges with patient-specific approaches include inconsistent performance, high costs, and delayed graft availability. Toward developing a one-for-all solution, a more attractive paradigm lies in the exploitation of dedicated cell lines for t

Esker formation during deglaciation of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet, northeast Skåne and Blekinge, Sweden

Rullstensåsar är en nyckelkomponent när det gäller att förstå glacial dynamik, speciellt under deglaciationsstadier. Rullstensåsar innehåller mycket information gällande inlandsisar och glaciärer, och kan potentiellt förmedla information om isutbredning, nedsmältning, dränering av ismassor och smältvattensystem. Deponerade rullstensåsar i nordöstra Skåne och västra till centrala Blekinge av den skEskers are a key component when it comes to understanding glacier dynamics, in particular during deglaciation. Eskers contain a lot of information regarding ice sheets and glaciers, and may serve as indicators of ice-front positions, meltwater discharge rates, and glacial drainage systems of the downwasting ice masses. Eskers deposited by the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) in northeast Skåne and wes

The Invisibles - an exploration of barriers experienced in workplaces, and strategies of navigating them by autistic adults without an intellectual disability.

This project highlights a unique positioning of adult autistic workers who need to navigate workplace environments and structures without access to disability support. The focus was to recognize and examine barriers/challenges, their impact on individuals’ wellbeing, and strategies for managing them, which allow for sustaining full-time employment. This thesis draws on theoretical frameworks from

Monologmeditationer

Verkkommentaren analyserar arbetsprocessen med det egna examensverket Desperados. Kommentaren undersöker och definierar metoder som använts under skrivandet av nämnda verk. Monologmeditationer är en metod som arbetats fram av artikelförfattaren med utgångspunkt i David Lynchs arbetspraktik, framför allt hans teorier om transcendental meditation. Vidare undersöker artikeln hur en dramatiker kan anv
