Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) can lead to visible changes in appearance which could generate concerns among patients. Thus, valid questionnaires that capture these concerns are valuable to identify and communicate appearance concerns. Objective: To determine aspects of the validity and reliability of the Swedish version of the Satisfaction with Appearance scale for individuals with SSc (SWA
This paper explores an innovation case within a “smart” Swedish mid-sized city that works extensively with digitalization.Over a long period in time, city populations and city tourism have increased, while more urgentchallenges connected to sustainability have emerged along with health-related problems. In parallel the already established and ongoing digitalization of society was fortified in the
The fast growth of e-commerce and omni/multi-channel retailing brings new challenges for efficient inventory management. One such challenge concerns service differentiation across channels when upstream central warehouses satisfy both direct customer demand and replenishment orders from downstream retailers. Motivated by industry collaboration, we address this issue by developing a combined stock
For internal cooling of a turbine blade, various advanced rib turbulators can markedly contribute to the heat transfer enhancement while suffering a great increase in pressure loss. In those designs, ribs with the same configuration are periodically and evenly mounted on the channel wall. In this context, this work proposes a hierarchical design concept to optimize the rib arrangement with the des
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with variable patient responses to therapy. Selinexor, an inhibitor of nuclear export, has shown promising clinical activity for AML. To identify the molecular context for monotherapy sensitivity as well as rational drug combinations, we profile selinexor signaling responses using phosphoproteomics in primary AML patient samples and cell line
Objectives To retrospectively evaluate ophthalmological and neurological outcomes in a Swedish cohort of infants born before 24 weeks gestational age (GA) and explore risk factors for visual impairment. Setting Eye and paediatric clinics in Sweden. Participants Infants screened for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) (n=399), born before 24 weeks GA, 2007-2018. Cases were excluded if ophthalmological
Evaporation is one of the main components of the hydrological cycle, and its estimation is crucial and important for water resources management issues. Access to a reliable estimator tool for evaporation simulation is important in arid and semi-arid areas such as Iran, which lose more than 70% of their received precipitation by evaporation. Current research employs the Bayesian Regularization (BR)
Packaging can play a key role in reducing food waste and enabling resource efficient logistics operations. This paper offers insights into why this potential is not fully adopted by companies in food supply chains by exploring adoption barriers for sustainable packaging practices in ten companies in South Africa and Sweden. The paper develops an analytical framework from theory and applies it to t
Background: Microseminoprotein-beta (MSMB) regulates apoptosis and using genome-wide association studies the rs10993994 single nucleotide polymorphism in the MSMB promoter has been linked to an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. The promoter location of the risk allele, and its ability to reduce promoter activity, suggested that the rs10993994 risk allele could result in lowered MSMB in
Phasing out fossil fuels requires destabilizing incumbent regimes while protecting vulnerable groups negatively affected by fossil fuel decline. We argue that sequencing destabilization and just transition policies addresses three policy problems: phasing out fossil fuels, transforming affected industries, and ensuring socio-economic recovery in fossil resource-dependent regions. We identify the k
This study investigates the effect of different mixers and the applicability of the mixing energy (ME) concept to dry powder formulations for inhalation. With the aim to step-wise build and expand this concept, adhesive mixtures of 2 % budesonide and lactose carrier were investigated, both with 1 % magnesium stearate (MgSt) added in a ‘coating’ step, and without, the latter referred to as ‘naked’
Borealis - a Festival for Experimental Music is a yearly 5-day New Music festival in Bergen, Norway that has implemented numerous DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives since 2015 in its programming and festival organisation. This 20-minute presentation will draw on the results of my institutional ethnographic analysis of the festival in order to analyse the work of its festival team.
Objectives: In patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) initiating secukinumab, we aimed to assess and compare the proportion of patients achieving 6-, 12- and 24-month patient-reported outcomes (PRO) remission and the 24-month retention rates. Patients and methods: Patients with axSpA or PsA from 16 European registries, who initiated secukinumab in routine care w
BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer is more common after total mesorectal excision compared to partial mesorectal excision but might be mitigated by a defunctioning stoma. OBJECTIVE: The aim is to assess how anastomotic leakage is affected by type of mesorectal excision and defunctioning stoma use. DESIGN: This is a retrospective multicenter cohort study eval
Oxygen isotopes in biogenic silica (δ18OBSi) from lake sediments allow for quantitative reconstruction of past hydroclimate and proxy-model comparison in terrestrial environments. The signals of individual records have been attributed to different factors, such as air temperature (Tair), atmospheric circulation patterns, hydrological changes, and lake evaporation. While every lake has its own loca
I Danmark reguleres det sociale område i høj grad af rammelovgivning, som uddelegerer myndighed, regulerer gennem formålsbeskrivelser og gør det muligt for såkaldte velfærdsprofessionelle at udøve skøn. Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan samspillet mellem velfærdsprofessionelles opfattelser og de ting, der på forskellig vis regulerer deres praksis, får betydning for konstruktionen af legalitet i de
Large-scale landforms originated from jökulhlaups or glacial lake-outburst floods (GLOFs), and their small-scale components help in recognising the sedimentary environment of the flood. The GLOF fans that developed along the Pleistocene ice-sheet margin have not been investigated in detail, and north-eastern Poland, with its Megaflood Landform System and Bachanowo and Szeszupka fans, seems ideal f
