Context. Open clusters are ideal tools for tracing the abundances of different elements because their stars are expected to have the same age, distance, and metallicity. Therefore, they serve as powerful tracers for investigating the cosmic origins of elements. This paper expands on a recent study by us, in which the element fluorine was studied in seven open clusters; here we add six open cluster

A trend, which can be noted in the field of cash handling, is the increase of ATMs that are able to recirculate banknotes. Cash recycling means that notes deposited by one customer are then available for withdrawal by another from the same machine. Cash recycling has both economic advantages and reduces environment impact, as transport to machines for filling and emptying them can be decreased. Wh

BACKGROUND: The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) and melanoma in situ (MIS) has been increasing during the last 50 years. Malignant melanoma (MM) is also the most common intraocular malignancy (IMM). Besides ultraviolet radiation, the cause of these tumours is largely unknown.OBJECTIVES: We designed a study to examine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and tobacco use on the risk f

Gruppen driver forskning kring mätning och behandling av svår kronisk andnöd (dyspné) samt behandling av kronisk andningssvikt. Gruppen har nära samarbete med ledande forskare nationellt och ett internationellt forskningsnätverk kring klinisk dyspnéforskning. Studier inkluderar epidemiologiska analyser, Cochrane meta-analyser, kliniska kohortstudier samt randomiserade kontrollerade behandlingsstudThe research group focuses on the mechanisms, measurement and treatment of severe chronic breathlessness (dyspnea) and management of chronic respiratory failure. The research is conducted in close collaboration with leading researchers nationally and an international research network. Studies include epidemiological analyses, Cochrane meta-analyses, clinical cohorts and randomized controlled trial

Available HIV treatments are unsatisfactory since they don’t clear the infection and result in expensive and life‐long treatment on an every‐day basis without clear evidence of the long‐term consequences and side effects of this. Our research is highly translational and combines clinical, experimental and bioinformatics research in various systems virology approaches to uncover nocel key virus-hos

I världen lider flera 100 miljoner människor av autoimmuna sjukdomar och de är ett folkhälsoproblem i paritet med cancer och hjärt/kärlsjukdomar. Vi har fokuserat vår forskning kring en grupp ovanliga men allvarliga autoimmuna sjukdomar, ANCA associerade vaskuliter. Sjukdomarna orsakar en akut inflammation i de små blodkärlen, vilket leder till en snabbt förlöpande glomerulonefrit och livshotande Autoimmune diseases affect several 100 million people world wide and is a tremendous public health problem comparable with heart disease and cancer. We have focused our research to a group of severe autoimmune diseases, called ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody) associated systemic vasculitis. The diseases present with acute inflammation in the small vessels and cause rapidly progressive r

Vårt arbete syftar till att öka kunskapen om hur yttre miljöfaktorer påverkar hudsjukdom, speciellt eksem och med fokus på kontaktallergi. Kontaktallergi förekommer hos nästan 30% av den vuxna befolkningen. Det allergiska kontakteksemet kan ses var som helst på kroppen, ofta på händerna. Kliniskt kan man inte skilja eksem orsakat av inre faktorer, endogent eksem, och eksem orsakat av yttre faktoreThe work is focused on increasing our knowledge of the effect the environment has on the skin, and particularly with regard to contact allergy and allergic contact dermatitis. About 30% of the adult population has contact allergy. The allergic contact dermatitis can affect any part of the body but most often it affects the hands. Clinically it is impossible to differentiate a dermatitis caused by

Despite the maturity reached by targeted proteomic strategies, reliable and standardized protocols are urgently needed to enhance reproducibility among different laboratories and analytical platforms, facilitating a more widespread use in biomedical research. To achieve this goal, the use of dimensionless relative retention times (iRT), defined on the basis of peptide standard retention times (RT)

While wild pollinators play a key role in global food production, their assessment is currently missing from the most commonly used environmental impact assessment method, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This is mainly due to constraints in data availability and compatibility with LCA inventories. To target this gap, relative pollinator abundance estimates were obtained with the use of a Delphi asses

Sea turtles are known to perform long-distance, oceanic migrations between disparate feeding areas and breeding sites, some of them located on isolated oceanic islands. These migrations demonstrate impressive navigational abilities, but the sensory mechanisms used are still largely unknown. Green turtles breeding at Ascension Island perform long oceanic migrations (>2200 km) between foraging areas

Vår forskning handlar om att kartlägga de mekanismer som ligger bakom njursjukdom för att ta fram ny diagnostik och behandling för de cirka 10% av Sveriges befolkning som lider av nedsatt njurfunktion. Vi forskar också fram nya metoder för att förbättra behandlingen med så kallad peritonealdialys (bukdialys) - en form av dialysbehandling för patienter med svår njursvikt. Vi samarbetar med andra foOur research focuses on identifying the mechanisms behind kidney disease in order to develop new diagnostic methods and treatment for the approximately 10% of Sweden's population suffering from impaired renal function. We are also researching new methods to improve treatment with peritoneal dialysis - a form of dialysis treatment for patients with severe renal failure. We collaborate with other re

Vi besitter systematisk kunskap, baserad på empirisk forskning, om både hur finansiella förhållanden stimulerar ekonomisk tillväxt och utveckling, och om finansiella kriser och hur sådana kriser kan mildras eller undvikas. Vår forskning är indelad i tre huvudkategorier: Finansväsende och makroekonomi; Försäkrings- och pensionssystem samt; Politisk ekonomi och dess inverkan på penning- och finansföWe provide systematic knowledge based on empirical research on both how finance spurs economic growth and development, and on financial crises and how such crises can be mitigated, or avoided. Our research is divided into three main categories: Finance and the macro-economy; Insurance and retirement systems and; The political economy of money and finance.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To date, large studies comparing mortality and functional outcome of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) during oral anticoagulant (OAC), antiplatelet, and nonantithrombotic use are few and show discrepant results. METHODS: We used data on 13 291 patients with ICH registered in Riksstroke between 2012 and 2016 to compare 90-day mortality and functional outcome following OAC-rela
