Background: Many pathological processes can disrupt the integrity of the glomerular capillary wall and cause a massive leakage of protein, resulting in nephrotic syndrome (NS). Clinical parameters such as age, sex, renal function, presence of diabetes, and how NS is defined influence the spectrum of underlying diseases. In this study, we examine how these parameters interact.Methods: Age, sex, hem

In this paper we are interested in how the growing University, i.e., the University as a place of increasingly urban dimensions, affects the infraordinary life of researchers. We here focus especially on the transformation of mundane meeting places (old and new), where researchers across disciplines might meet. In the paper, we are thus looking into changing territorial landscape of research and d

The field of Quaternary science has, through a long history of high-quality research, produced a vast record of evidence regarding ice sheet dynamics. Consequently, our understanding of such processes and their effects are well understood. However, historically the predominant focus has been of a loose sediment perspective, which has resulted in limited insight into ice-bedrock dynamics. This is i

Den globala uppvärmningen har stora effekter på det subarktiska ekosystemet i norra Sverige. De ökande temperaturerna i dessa ekosystem har lett till ett tinande av permafrosten i marken. Permafrosten innehåller stora mängder kol och när tjälen i marken försvinner blir detta kol tillgängligt för nedbrytning av mikrober i marken. Denna nedbrytning av kol i kombination med en våtare mark leder till The northern permafrost regions are experiencing a rapid warming as surface temperatures are rising, causing a disintegration of permafrost and a deepening of the active layer (AL). This releases previously frozen carbon, making it available for decomposition by microbes. The combination of the high microbial activity and overall wetter soils may cause anoxic conditions and in turn methane (CH4) a

Background: Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare subtype, accounting for less than 5% of primary cutaneous invasive melanomas. DM often arises in chronically sun-exposed skin, in older individuals. While the incidence of cutaneous melanoma has increased globally, trends specific to DM are less documented and studies on survival outcomes for DM are inconsistent. Objectives: To study patient and tum

Sustainability has become a leading concept in development policy and practice. The most recognized definition of sustainable development was coined by the Brundtland Commission in 1987. It provides normative guidelines for a common sustainability agenda and sees responsibility for, and benefits from, this common effort as universal. The agenda addresses stakeholders worldwide and its all-encompas

Because of increasing pressures on marine life and habitats, the overall health of the global ocean has over the latter years received attention internationally. It is therefore of relevance to analyse how the type of human-nature relationship towards the ocean is presented through what can be coined as Blue Growth. The aim of this research is to critically discuss what human-nature relationships

The purpose of this paper is to provide a foundation for modelling train delays as multivariate time series. A pertinent issue with this kind of analysis is that the individual time series do not follow the Gaussian normal distribution. Since the normal distribution constitutes an assumption of classical time series methods, these cannot be applied blindly to the data. The solution explored by the

Innovation has become increasingly important for the performance of firms and nations. At the same time, financial markets have come to exert a great deal of influence over resource allocation in publically traded firms. A significant body of evidence suggests that certain actors exert pressure on corporate managers to maximize short term financial results at the expense of investments in long ter

Building sustainable, collaborative solutions to contemporary sustainability challenges requires a new generation of future professionals or ‘change-agents,’ the engagement of non-academic stakeholders, and academic facilitation. Educational reform is needed in order to enhance students’ competencies in becoming effective sustainability professionals. Effective collaborative platforms have the pot
