Background: Identifying factors associated with vaccine uptake among health care workers (HCWs) remains crucial to generating evidence aimed at guiding national COVID-19 vaccination and future infectious disease outbreak strategies. This study aimed to elucidate these factors, focusing on the interplay between socio-demographic, health, knowledge, beliefs and attitudinal indicators. Methods: This
Purpose:To study the incidence, predictive factors, etiology, and visual consequences of postoperative endophthalmitis (PE) in relation to 3 intracameral (IC) antibiotic regimes.Setting:Swedish National Cataract Register entries from 2011 through 2017.Design:Observational retrospective study.Methods:PE incidence, influencing factors, bacteriology, and visual outcome were analyzed regarding the 3 m
We study pair correlation functions for planar Coulomb systems in the pushed phase, near a ring-shaped impenetrable wall. We assume coupling constant Γ=2 and that the number n of particles is large. We find that the correlation functions decay slowly along the edges of the wall, in a narrow interface stretching a distance of order 1/n from the hard edge. At distances much larger than 1/n, the effe
Histidine is a key amino-acid residue in proteins with unique properties engendered by its imidazole side chain that can exist in three different states: two different neutral tautomeric forms and a protonated, positively charged one with a pKa value close to physiological pH. Commonly, two or all three states coexist and interchange rapidly, enabling histidine to act as both donor and acceptor of
It is generally known that, unlike structured proteins, intrinsically disordered proteins, IDPs, exhibit various structures and conformers, the so-called conformational ensemble, CoE. This study aims to better understand the conformers that make up the IDP ensemble by decomposing the CoE into groups separated by their radius of gyration, Rg. A common approach to studying CoE for IDPs is to use low
Aims The European Unified Registries On Heart Care Evaluation and Randomized Trials (EuroHeart) aims to improve the quality of care and clinical outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease. The collaboration of acute coronary syndrome/percutaneous coronary intervention (ACS/PCI) registries is operational in seven vanguard European Society of Cardiology member countries. Methods and Adults ad
This work is to extend studies of business model (BM) experimentation for sustainable value creation using three cases; here incumbent firms apply resources/networks in pursuit of sustainability-oriented BMs via corporate entrepreneurship. A focus query is: How do organisations apply experimentation to learn, signal and convince key resource holders to engage with shifts (from incumbent BMs) to mo
The analysis presents an evolving ‘Energy Concept’ and strategy at an energy-intensive research facility in order to contribute understanding of how organisations may implement renewable energies and improve energy efficiency whilst also delivering broader socio-economic benefits. A framework is developed that infuses institutional perspectives with a micro level view. It facilitates positioning o
Environmental problems, combined with European Union environmental and energy policies shaped to address them, have created pressures for change. Some of these open significant opportunities to renew industries. This report delivers new understanding of the potential of circular economy for sustainable renewal of manufacturing in bio-based industries. With particular focus on novel value chains, i
Thousands of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mutants have been isolated over the last century, and many are stored in gene banks across various countries. In the present work, we developed a pipeline to efficiently identify causal mutations in barley. The pipeline is also efficient for mutations located in centromeric regions. Through bulked segregant analyses using whole genome sequencing of pooled F
The accurate identification of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) within steel matrices is critical for high-quality steel production. This study employs synchrotron radiation-based X-ray absorption photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM) to investigate NMIs in ultra-high-strength steels. Ca-L2,3-edge X-ray absorption spectra were acquired for six NMIs at both room temperature and 400 °C, allowing
In Sweden 1600 patients/year survive cardiac arrest (30-day survival). Post-resuscitation care is complex and aims to stabilize organ function with focus on preventing secondary brain injury. In 2021 The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) published joint guidelines on post-resuscitation care. In this article the Swedish Resuscitation Counci
Diversification of forest industry activites into transport fuels is important for Swedish climate and energy policy goal achievement, and biofuel proponents also claim that it is important for Swedish forest industry competitiveness. There is significant ongoing research effort on biofuels for road transport and extensive experimentation on several technical platforms has been conducted. These di
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
Context. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) are the brightest satellites of the Milky Way (MW), and for the last thousand million years they have been interacting with one another. As observations only provide a static picture of the entire process, numerical simulations are used to interpret the present-day observational properties of these kinds of systems, and mos
This thesis work has focused on the platinum-tin surface, especially how it behaves when exposed to gases like oxygen and carbon monoxide. Platinum-tin is used as a catalyst for a range of reactions, including the oxidation of carbon monoxide at mild conditions, which is important for gas purification in fuel cells. The platinum-tin alloy has properties useful for the reactions it catalyses, but i
Cushioned lipid bilayers are structures consisting of a lipid bilayer supported on a solid substrate with an intervening layer of soft material. They offer possibilities for studying the behavior and interactions of biological membranes more accurately under physiological conditions. In this work, we continue our studies of cushion formation induced by histatin 5 (24Hst5), focusing on the effect o
This study adopts a configurational approach to discover conditions common to graduates from venture creation programs who take a particular learning pathway to high entrepreneurial passion. Our theoretical framework identifies two primary sources of experiential learning (direct and vicarious experience) and three temporal vantage points (pre-, peri-, and post-education) conducive to such conditi
