Den diabetiska handen är ett vanligt syndrom som framför allt drabbar individer med förhöjt fasteblodsocker.Karpaltunnelsyndrom, ulnarisnervinklämning i arm­bågen, triggerfinger, Dupuytrens sjukdom och tumbasartros är handkirurgiska diagnoser som är vanliga hos individer med diabetes.Individer med diabetes drabbas ofta av flera av de tillstånd som inkluderas i begreppet »den diabetiska handen«. KiThe term »the diabetic hand« traditionally denotes complications affecting the hand in individuals with diabetes mellitus, such as restricted finger movement, numbness, and pain. Trigger finger, Dupuytren's disease, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve entrapment, and osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint are all conditions that are more prevalent among individuals with both type 1 and

Proceeding from an analysis of the social embeddedness of education, and how vulnerable the value of it is to the effects of precarious life situations and inequalities, in combination with how the right to education features in human rights law and discourse, this contribution argues that the obligation to ensure this right equally for all inevitably obligate states to address detrimental social

We invite all interested participants into an exploratory workshop about possible research designs for studying the relationship between educational and professional development in Swedish higher education. The authors’ experience from working in Swedish higher education for a long time is that there are some stories about this relationship that are more frequent than others. The aim of our planne

In the face of contemporary challenges such as globalization, climate crisis and a shifting labour market, digital technology is often presented as a solution and enabler for innovation. This is the case also within the area of higher education (HE), as universities are expected to adjust to societal trends framed as the knowledge-intensive economy, increased individualization, life-long learning In the face of contemporary challenges such as globalization, climate crisis and a shifting labour market, digital technology is often presented as a solution and enabler for innovation.

Proceeding from Gregor Noll’s work on human rights and the undocumented migrant worker – where human rights law is analysed as a perplexing empirical phenomenon in order to understand a bit better why things are as odd as they are – you might easily feel discouraged by the difficulty of it all. Or, you might feel liberated, free to go on an open-ended excavation. This chapter takes that second rou

In this study, we report the degradation of smooth and rough lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria and of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from Gram-positive bacteria by peptide-coated TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs). While bare TiO2 NPs displayed minor binding to both LPS and LTA, coating TiO2 NPs with the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 dramatically increased the level of binding to both LPS an

In this essay I analyze how the artefacts of questioning and listening became resourceful in the procedure of excavating the personal and political reasons behind the migration journey my maternal grandmother Voinha embarked on in 1945 from Ananindeua and Belém to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Voinha, who turned 100 years old on April 08th, 2021 and passed away on March 06th, 2022, influenced my own mig

In September 2024, I started creating a performance entitled Encruzilhada, based on my understanding of carrego colonial (colonial burden), a concept elaborated on by Brazilian pedagogue Luiz Rufino in his work Pedagogia das Encruzilhadas (Pedagogy of the Crossroads). Encruzilhada concentrates on the production of an ebó (offer, sacrifice) to Exu. The ebó, in this case, are bean seeds that are pla

Background: Little is known about whether the protective effect of marriage on alcohol use disorder (AUD) varies by cultural background. Aims: Using Swedish national data, we examined whether marriage is associated with a stronger reduction in AUD risk among Swedes of a Swedish background (i.e. those with two Swedish-born parents) compared to Swedes with a foreign background (i.e. one or two forei

Voinha’s Backyard (Quintal de Voinha)To my maternal grandmother Voinha, whose love kept me alive throughout the years.In December 2022 I went back to my maternal grandmother Voinha’s first address in Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, the same place where we had last met in September 2018, when I recorded an interview to investigate the reasons behind her decision to leave Belém in 1945. Voinha passed a

Two-view homography estimation is a classic and fundamental problem in computer vision. While conceptually simple, the problem quickly becomes challenging when multiple planes are visible in the image pair. Even with correct matches, each individual plane (homography) might have a very low number of inliers when comparing to the set of all correspondences. In practice, this requires a large number

Background: There is a growing awareness of constipation being a side effect of anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (anti-CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). This study aims to assess constipation as a side effect and explore its potential role as a predictor of treatment response in chronic migraine (CM) patients treated with anti-CGRP mAbs. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of pati

Participated with two works in part 2: What if Women Ruled the World (2016) and Two Minutes to Midnight (2021). From December 2023 to January 2025, the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMΣT) presents a cycle of exhibitions, in four parts, exclusively dedicated to the work of women artists or artists who identify as female, under the broader umbrella title, What if Women Ruled the World? Initia

Several processes studied by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider produce low-momentum Formula Presented-flavored hadrons in the final state. This paper describes the calibration of a dedicated tagging algorithm that identifies Formula Presented-flavored hadrons outside of hadronic jets by reconstructing the soft secondary vertices originating from their decays. The calibration is bas

Group exhibition. Participated with the work Light to the Nations .Will the sky fall on our heads one day? Meteorites have a magical attraction, but at the same time they fuel age-old fears. Whereas in the Middle Ages they were regarded as divine signs and ominous devil’s stones, today people fear a natural disaster: a meteorite impact that could wipe out our civilisation. Perhaps not such a far-f

Microplastics remain already ubiquitous in water environments, interacting and acting as vectors of several contaminants, including endocrine disrupting compounds. Consequently, it is essential to understand the interaction mechanisms between contaminants and microplastics and know possible factors that can influence this process. This study evaluated estriol (E3) sorption on pristine and degraded
