Using unique longitudinal microdata linking administrative records from Sweden and Finland, we study how immigrant naturalization relates to cultural proximity. We analyze how Swedish citizenship acquisition depends on mother tongue by comparing Swedish-speaking and Finnish-speaking immigrants from Finland, who arrived in Sweden in 1988–2004, and contrast with other Nordic-born immigrants. We trea

Background: Clinical studies have evaluated a correlation between preoperative walking capacity or function and outcome after hip and knee joint replacement surgery with contradictory results. Our aim was to investigate the effect of preoperative metabolic and/or aerobic exercise on surgical outcome, as well as to evaluate the effect of cumulated exercise by using a cutoff value at 3.5 hours throu

Ursolic acid (UA) has antiinflammatory and anticancer effects on mammalian cells. Increase in acid sphingomyelinase (SMase) is associated with several inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases. The enzyme has become a target for drug discovery. The present study examined the roles of UA on acid SMase in intestinal cells. We found that UA specifically inhibited acid SMase activity

Studies seeking to validate real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) with regard to cardiac function and dimensions have almost exclusively used apical views. However, it has never been examined whether apical views are preferable to parasternal or subcostal views. In the present study, we compared the feasibility of 3DE volumetric measurements of the four heart chambers in three differe

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to evaluate percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for treatment resistant chronic anal fissure.MethodsConsecutive patients with chronic anal fissure were treated with neuromodulation via the posterior tibial nerve between October 2013 and January 2014. Patients had PTNS for 30 min on 10 consecutive days. All patients had failed conventional medical

A depeptide synthesis was drastically influenced by the reaction temperature, in the range from −30° to 25°C. This article shows the kinetic reasons of this effect. α‐Chymotrypsin was immobilized on celite and used in four different water‐miscible solvents containing small amounts of water‐miscible solvents containing small amounts of water. The reaction studied was the aminolysis of N‐acetyl‐L‐ph

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which there is no existing therapeutic approach to delay or stop progression. Genetic, biochemical and pre-clinical studies have provided evidence that leucine-rich-repeat-kinase-2 (LRRK2) kinase is involved in the pathogenesis of PD, and small molecule LRRK2 inhibitors represent a novel potential therapeutic approach. Howeve

Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET), based on band-to-band tunneling, overcomes the thermal limit (subthreshold slope (S) > 60 mV/decade) of the MOSFETs by filtering the high-energy Fermi tail, thereby allowing a substantial reduction of supply voltage and power consumption. Despite the steep slope behavior, TFETs can suffer from ambipolarity wherein carriers tunnel into the channel at both high

BACKGROUND:: Heel ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are hard to heal. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the difference in amputation-free survival (AFS) between open and endovascular revascularization in patients with DM, PAD, and heel ulcers.METHODS:: Retrospective comparative study of results of open versus endovascular surgery in pat

SAMMANFATTNING Apply Emtunga är ett företag som saknar struktur gällande sin orderprocess. Examensarbetets syfte är därför att kartlägga företagets orderprocess samt klarlägga vilka problem som uppstår i samband med denna. Examensarbetet ämnar därmed svara på följande tre frågor: - hur orderprocessen ser ut, vilka problem som kan identifieras i samband med orderprocessen samt vilka förslag på åtg

Ett liv utan socker Det finns få av oss som ärligt kan säga att de aldrig bantat eller i alla fall aldrig tänkt på maten de äter och hur mycket de tränar. I vårt utseendefixerade samhälle där modet, att se slankast ut eller ha mest muskler är det svårt att erkänna att man älskar att äta pizza två gånger i veckan. Eller att man struntat i den där gruppträningen kl 17 en tisdag för att sitta hemma

In the pursuit of CO₂-neutral renewable energy solutions, biofuels have emerged as one of the key strategies. However, biodiesel production generates a surplus of crude glycerol (GL), creating a need for efficient valorization pathways. The conversion of GL into value-added chemicals represents a sustainable approach to address this issue. Metal nanoclusters (NCats) embedded within metal-organic f

BackgroundAcute-phase proteins (APPs) reflect systemic inflammation and nutritional status, yet their perioperative trajectories and clinical utility as biomarkers of outcome in advanced ovarian cancer (aEOC) remain unclear. We aimed to characterise perioperative APP fluctuations and assess their associations with postoperative complications.MethodsThis observational study included patients underg

In response to increasing threats to biodiversity, conservation objectives have been set at national and international level, with the aim of halting biodiversity decline by reducing direct anthropogenic pressures on species. However, the potential effects of conservation policies derived from these objectives on common species remain rarely studied. Common species are often not the primary specie

Objective: To develop machine-learning models that incorporate clinical information and radiomics features extracted from ultrasound images to distinguish uterine sarcomas from leiomyomas. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter, pilot case–control study included 200 patients (100 with a uterine sarcoma and 100 with a usual-type leiomyoma, i.e. including no benign leiomyoma variants) who underwen
