BackgroundHuman infections due to Eubacterium are rare and knowledge of the condition is limited. This study aimed to describe clinical characteristics and outcome in patients with Eubacterium bacteremia.MethodsEpisodes of Eubacterium bacteremia were identified through the clinical microbiology laboratory in Lund, Sweden. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Blood isolates of Eubacterium
OBJECTIVE: To examine income-related inequality changes in the outcomes of an osteoarthritis (OA) first-line intervention.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.SETTING: Swedish health care system.PARTICIPANTS: We included 115,403 people (age: 66.2±9.7 years; females 67.8%; N=115,403) with knee (67.8%) or hip OA (32.4%) recorded in the "Swedish Osteoarthritis Registry" (SOAR).INTERVENTIONS: Exercise a
We built a novel setup to record large gaze shifts (up to 140[Formula: see text]). The setup consists of a wearable eye tracker and a high-speed camera with fiducial marker technology to track the head. We tested our setup by replicating findings from the classic eye-head gaze shift literature. We conclude that our new inexpensive setup is good enough to investigate the dynamics of large eye-head
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) having become increasingly embedded into work in both academia and industry has put a magnifying glass on Human-AI collaboration. With this paper, we seek to answer calls for research on the interactions between human and AI agents and their outcomes. We adopt the IS Delegation Framework (Baird & Maruping, 2021) to look at dynamics in relationships betwe
Background and objectives: There has been an increased interest in education for the environment in early childhood, but little is known about how the education influence young children’s behaviour. Moreover, knowledge about education for the environment in different educational contexts is still limited. To adopt pro-environment behaviours, the children should be taught about caring for the envir
Environmental education in early childhood has been pointed out as having a great potential to promote pro-environmental behaviour in early years. Among various tools, games and visual items are commonly used for children’s learning and development and therefore, could possibly be used to promote such behaviour among young children. However, their impact on the actual behaviour should be investiga
User preferences and behaviors are pointed out as main causes of the gap between predicted and actual energy use in energy-efficient buildings. Particularly, users’ energy-related behaviors affect whether the maximum level of energy efficiency can be achieved. Despite the potentials of the buildings themselves to promote energy efficiency behaviors, users’ behavioral responses to the buildings’ en
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of an interactive web-based support system via mobile phone on preference-based patient participation in patients with hypertension treated in primary care (compared with standard hypertensive care only). DESIGN: A parallel group, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial, conducted October 2018-February 2021. Besides standard hypertensive care, the intervention
Abstract: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a common cause of morbidity following open vascular surgery. Numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs), along with systematic reviews and meta-analyses of RCTs, have been conducted to compare incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) with standard wound dressings above sutured incisions in the inguinal region. These meta-analyses consistent
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is not just a 3 dimensional scaffold that provides stable support for all cells in the lungs but is also an important component of chronic fibrotic airways, vascular, and interstitial diseases. It is a bioactive entity that is dynamically modulated during tissue homeostasis and disease, which controls structural and immune cell functions, drug responses, and which ca
Archaeological investigations have revealed cultural layers with remnants of houses and streets below up to four metres of sand at the southern end of the Falsterbo peninsula in southernmost Sweden. The cultural layers have been dated to the 15th – 16th centuries, based on finds of, for example, coins and ceramics, and interpreted to represent the medieval town Falsterbo. It has been assumed that
In this paper, using tools from graph theory we provide verifiable necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique hydraulic equilibrium in district heating systems of meshed topology and containing multiple heat sources. Even though numerous publications have addressed the design of efficient algorithms for numerically finding hydraulic equilibria in the general context of water
The formation of platoons, where groups of vehicles follow each other at close distances, has the potential to increase road capacity. In this paper, a decentralized control approach is presented that extends the well-known constant headway vehicle following approach to the two-dimensional case, i.e., lateral control is included in addition to the longitudinal control. The presented control scheme
We introduce the use of correlative third-harmonic generation and multiphoton-induced luminescence microscopy to investigate the impact of manganese (Mn) doping to bismuth (Bi)-based perovskite-inspired nanocrystal thin films. The technique was found to be extremely sensitive to the microscopic features of the perovskite film and its structural compositions, allowing the unambiguous detection of c
One of my research questions is how ludo-immersive opera can be understood and interpreted. Reich of Ran was conceived as an etude of how to design comprehensible rules for playing visitors. This developed into a turn-based ’micro opera’ with forked paths. Each visitor got to experience the opera alone with the opera character (played by me) and a live-electronic musician. Thus, there could be no
In the last decade, businesses have played an increasingly significant role in promoting stability, democracy, and human rights, particularly concerning the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which emphasize peace, justice, and strong institutions. Consequently, there has been a greater focus on corporate social responsibility and corporate citizenship. Research has explored business mo
Insect behaviours, such as host and mate selection, are often mediated by chemical cues. The chemical cuesare detected by large and rapidly evolving families of chemoreceptors which include odorant receptors (ORs),gustatory receptors (GRs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs). In this thesis, I used a model system of beetle(Coleoptera) species to study the functional evolution of insect ORs, their ligan
