Kronik/op-ed essay on developments among the 9/11 conspiracy theorists, '011 truth movement or 'truthers', and why they should be taken seriously even if they are totally wrong.
Radiological environmental monitoring at the ESS facility – Annual report 2020
Results from the radiological environmental monitoring of the European Spallation Source (ESS) are presented for year 2020.Among the 63 environmental samples analysed for gamma emitting radionuclides, no elevated levels of anthropogenic radioactivity were observed. All samples (except two samples of lichen) had activity concentrations below the MDA for the natural radionuclides as well as 137Cs, a

High dose pollen intralymphatic immunotherapy : Two RDBPC trials question the benefit of dose increase
Background: The same dosing schedule, 1000 SQ-U times three, with one-month intervals, have been evaluated in most trials of intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). The present studies evaluated if a dose escalation in ILIT can enhance the clinical and immunological effects, without compromising safety. Methods: Two randomized double-blind placebo-controlle
Factors influencing late-Holocene vegetation dynamics and biodiversity on Hallands Väderö, SW Sweden : A statistical evaluation
Forest composition characteristic of the Mid-Holocene has survived on Hallands Väderö, an island nature reserve off the south west coast of Sweden. Current veteran Tilia and Quercus trees contribute to a remarkably rich biodiversity of fungi, bryophytes, lichens and insects. Understanding which potential factors influence Holocene vegetation dynamics can support efforts to protect biodiversity, bu
Synthesis of Bacteria Imprinted Polymers by Pickering Emulsion Polymerization
Molecularly imprinted polymers have been studied for a long time and have found useful applications in many fields. In most cases, small organic molecules are used as templates to synthesize imprinted polymers. In contrast to low molecular weight targets, large biological molecules and cells are more challenging to use as templates to synthesize cell-recognizing materials. This chapter presents an
Pipelines and Systems for Threshold-Avoiding Quantification of LC-MS/MS Data
The accurate processing of complex liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) data from biological samples is a major challenge for metabolomics, proteomics, and related approaches. Here, we present the pipelines and systems for threshold-avoiding quantification (PASTAQ) LC-MS/MS preprocessing toolset, which allows highly accurate quantification of data-dependent acquisit
Cost Effectiveness of Primary Stenting in the Superficial Femoral Artery for Intermittent Claudication : Two Year Results of a Randomised Multicentre Trial
Objective: Invasive treatment of intermittent claudication (IC) is commonly performed, despite limited evidence of its cost effectiveness. IC symptoms are mainly caused by atherosclerotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery (SFA), and endovascular treatment is performed frequently. The aim of this study was to investigate its cost effectiveness vs. non-invasive treatment. Methods: One hundre
Empowering communities with health promotion labs: result from a CBPR programme in Malmö, Sweden
The study describes findings from a community-based participatory and challenge-driven research programme, that aimed to improve health equity through a health promotion platform in an ethnically diverse low-income neighbourhood of Malmo, Sweden. Local residents, together with lay health promoters living in the area, were actively involved in the planning phase and decided on the structure and con
Low heritability but significant early environmental effects on resting metabolic rate in a wild passerine
Predicting the impact of climate change on biodiversity requires understanding the adaptation potential of wild organisms. Evolutionary responses depend on the additive genetic variation associated with the phenotypic traits targeted by selection. We combine 5 years of cross-fostering experiments, measurements of resting metabolic rate (RMR) on nearly 200 wild collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicol
The dialogue as decision support; lived experiences of extended collaboration when an ambulance is called
Purpose: This study aimed to describe extended collaboration in situations when an ambulance was called, as experienced by older patients, a significant other, and ambulance- and primary healthcare (PHC) centre personnel. Methods: The study used a phenomenological reflective lifeworld research (RLR) approach. Participants included in three specific situations with extended collaboration were inter
The ESS ERIC and VAT: Do the VAT Rules Foster Research and Innovation in the EU?
On 19 August 2015 the European Spallation Source (ESS) was approved by the European Commission as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). The purpose of the contribution is to answer the question about actual VAT treatment of transactions in which ESS is engaged and to make a conclusion whether the current rules contribute to the free movement of knowledge in Europe, also called a "f

Early-life exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances in relation to serum adipokines in a longitudinal birth cohort
BACKGROUND: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure has been linked to metabolic health outcomes such as obesity, and changes in adipokine hormones may be one of the underlying biological mechanisms. We prospectively evaluated the associations between prenatal and early childhood exposures to PFASs and adipokines in children.MATERIAL AND METHODS: PFAS concentrations were measured in se
Serum vaccine antibody concentrations in adults exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: A birth cohort in the Faroe Islands
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are highly persistent in the environment and may cause depressed immune function. Previous studies have linked PFAS exposure to lower vaccine responses in children, but research in adults is limited. Therefore, the present study evaluated the associations between exposure to PFASs and serum antibody concentrations in adults vaccinated at age 28 years in
Exposure to Particle Beta Radiation in Greater Massachusetts and Factors Influencing Its Spatial and Temporal Variability
Particle radioactivity is a property of airborne particles caused by the presence of naturally occurring or anthropogenic radionuclides. Recent studies have found associations between particle radioactivity and adverse health outcomes, including changes in blood pressure and lung function. However, the spatiotemporal distribution of particle radioactivity and factors influencing its variability ha

Caring for non-sedated mechanically ventilated patients in ICU : A qualitative study comparing perspectives of expert and competent nurses
BACKGROUND: Sedation practice has evolved from deep to lighter or no sedation in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The care of conscious intubated patients constitutes a change in the nurse-patient interaction.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare the perspectives of expert and competent nurses regarding their interaction with non-sedated mechanically ventilated ICU patie
