Differences between 10Be records from Greenland and Antarctica over the last 100 years have led to different conclusions about past changes in solar activity. The reasons for this disagreement remain unresolved. We analyze a seasonally resolved 10Be record from a firn core (North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling [NEEM] ice core project) in Northwestern Greenland for 1887–2002. By comparing the NEEM d
Conditions experienced early in development can affect the future performance of individuals and populations. Demographic theories predict persistent population impacts of past resources, but few studies have experimentally tested such carry-over effects across generations or cohorts. We used bumble bees to test whether resource timing had persistent effects on within-colony dynamics over sequenti
Real-time communication over Ethernet is becoming important in various application areas of cyber-physical systems such as industrial automation and control, avionics, and automotive networking. Since such applications are typically time critical, Ethernet technology has been enhanced to support time-driven communication through the IEEE 802.1 TSN standards. The performance and stability of contro
Environmental changes such as extreme weather events become increasingly noticeable worldwide. Earth observation data provide information about such changes, but little is known about citizens’ perceptions of and responses to such changes. Across three studies, we assess whether people’s place attachment on different regional levels predicts interest in earth observation data, and whether perceive
Neighbourhood offices were established in the municipal of Lund by a decision in the municipal council 1999. During following years four offices opened in the surrounding villages; Veberöd, Genarp, Södra Sandby and Dalby. By using a goal oriented model and making interviews I study whether the offices reaches the goals of more effective service, developed IT-support, a stronger local democracy and
Malmö, like many other bigger cities in Europe, faces a double undertaking when facing the challenges the future. Not only must the municipal be able to provide its citizens with welfare and a high standard of living, it must also establish a level of economic growth that allows the city to act as catalyst for the surrounding area. In order to provide the population with welfare and the economy wi
Background: Early substitution of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) with mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors has been shown to improve kidney function and reduce intimal hyperplasia in heart transplant (HTx) recipients but data on long-term outcome of such a regime are still sparse. Methods: In the SCHEDULE trial, 115 de novo HTx recipients were randomized to (1) everolimus with reduced exposure of
Information encountered in different events, such as people and objects, can be interlinked in memory. Such memory integration supports novel inferences about the world. This study investigates the role of episodic context on memory integration in two experiments using an associative inference task. Participants encoded events with overlapping (AB and BC) and non-overlapping associations (XY) pres
Background and objective: We investigated whether adding 4Kscore as a reflex test to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) could improve the screening algorithm for prostate cancer (PC). Methods: In the GÖTEBORG-2 PC screening trial, 38 000men (50–60 yr) were invited to PSA testing and, if elevated, followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For 571 men with PSA ≥3.0 ng/ml and evaluable outcomes, 4Ks
According to the World Health Organization Wheelchair Provision Guidelines (2023) wheelchair training is a critical component of the wheelchair provision process. In fact, the guidelines ‘strongly recommend’ that training for power and manual wheelchairs needs to be provided to enable maximum use and prevent abandonment and secondary injuries. Moreover, task-specific training is particularly encouAccording to the World Health Organization Wheelchair Provision Guidelines (2023) wheelchair training is a critical component of the wheelchair provision process.

Recent years have brought new directionality to university’s work with innovation – increasing the focus on addressing societal challenges and contributing to much broader frames for impact. Working with complex challenges, where no one actor can do everything by themselves, requires collaboration across actor groups (private sector, academia, public sector, civil society), industrial sectors, dis
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) occupies an increasingly important position in the clinic for the management of cardiac and/or pulmonary failure. As a rescue therapy, ECMO can support patients following respiratory or cardiac compromise to act as a bridge to recovery, to decision, or to transplant. This chapter reviews briefly the history of ECMO implementation as well as device modes,
This article addresses the role of the corporate purpose in strategic financial communication from the perspective of investor relations officers (IROs) with particular reference to their sensemaking process. Strategic financial communication increasingly includes intangible assets that contribute to the value of the company. At the same time, more and more companies are publishing corporate purpo
Background: Shoulder and arm dysfunction such as reduced range of motion (ROM) and seroma formation, are common complications following axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). There are conflicting results on the effect of early postoperative exercise on the risk of seroma. This study aims to present incidence of symptomatic seroma formation in a large, population-based cohort, and assesses whether
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that the main barriers to integrating exercise in routine care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) were structural within European healthcare systems rather than due to resistance among healthcare professionals or patients.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study used anonymized questionnaires to investigate nurses' and physicians' attitud
This paper analyses the evolution of material living standards in three Swedish, before 1658 Danish, towns (Malmö, Ystad and Falkenberg) of varying size from the late 1500s to the advent of industrialization in the 1860s. We use population registers and church books, but above all a new dataset of 1381 probate inventories for the time periods 1570–1599, 1670–1720, the 1780s, and the 1860s. Based o
A set of nineteen C-galactopyranosyl ligands, which included constrained compounds based on a bicyclic trans-decalin type system. were synthesized via click chemistry from 2-(β-d-C-galactopyranosyl) ethylene azide intermediates. The compounds were evaluated for binding to various galectins and the most promising inhibitor from the series was a constrained 3-O-benzylated galactopyranose derivative,
Objective This study aims to investigate whether oral fluoroquinolone use is associated with an increased risk of aortic and mitral valve regurgitation. Design A nationwide cohort study based on linked healthcare register data encompassing patient characteristics, prescription data and cases of aortic and mitral valve regurgitation. Setting Sweden, 2006–2018. Participants Study participants were a
BACKGROUND: Oesophagectomy, a corner stone in curative treatment of oesophageal cancer, is a complex procedure with high complication rates. Postoperative gastric tube decompression is debated and some centres are abandoning routine nasogastric (NG) tube use. We hypothesised that postoperative NG tube removal is non-inferior to five days of NG tube decompression, with regard to the risk of anastom
OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to characterize longitudinal patterns of viraemia and factors associated with viral suppression in people with HIV and low-level viraemia (LLV) during antiretroviral therapy (ART).METHODS: We included people with HIV in the EuResist Integrated Database with LLV following ART initiation after 2005. LLV was defined as two or more consecutive viral load (VL) measurements
