Prophylactic Treatment of Children with Hemophilia in Sweden

Hemophilia A/B are caused by deficiency or lack of coagulation factors VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX), respectively, in plasma. A person with hemophilia develops bleeding in the joints and muscles at an early age, which, if left untreated, leads to early arthropathy. Preventive treatment can be achieved by regular (prophylactic) administration of FVIII/FIX. In 1958, this was implemented on a smal

The Flesh of History : Re-Enlivening the History of Textile Industries Through the Work of Kristina Müntzing

Swedish artist Kristina Müntzing physically engages with archives of textile industries through manipulating, enlarging, fragmenting and re-constructing (re-weaving) photographs that she finds, as well as creating performances that explore the carnal aspects of this history. In this way, she makes connections between such embodied understandings and the political struggles of the time, which conti

Factors contributing to the potential expansion of Limnomonas gaiensis (Chlamydomonadales, Chlorophyta) in freshwater lakes in Northern Europe

Limnomonas gaiensis is a recently described green microalga inhabiting freshwater lakes in northern Europe (England, Sweden). There is little information on the species’ tolerance to environmental factors and its capacity to spread to unconnected lakes. Using a barcoding approach, we investigated the phylogeography of L. gaiensis along a latitudinal gradient spanning 54–60°N. Experimental long-ter

Parenteral Hydration in Dying Patients With Cancer : A National Registry Study

Context: Clinically assisted hydration during end-of-life care among patients with cancer is controversial; practice varies between clinical settings and countries, and there is a lack of evidence. Objectives: To examine whether breathlessness, respiratory secretion, or confusion correlates with receiving parenteral hydration during end of life, adjusted for sex, age, and place of death. Methods:

Beverages - a scoping review for nordic nutrition recommendations 2023

Background: Coffee, tea, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), and low- and no-calorie-sweetened beverages (LNCSBs) are generally frequently consumed in the Nordic and Baltic countries. These beverages have also been related to potential health effects. This scoping review describes the evidence for the role of coffee, tea, SSBs, and LNCSBs for health-related outcomes as a basis for setting and updati

The pH tolerance range of the airborne species Tetracystis vinatzeri (Chlorophyceae, Chlamydomonadales)

To decipher the dispersal range of the cosmopolitan green microalga Tetracystis vinatzeri, two airborne-collected strains were barcoded using the 18S ribosomal DNA gene (18S) and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I subunit (COI), and their survival capacities were investigated across a stepwise acidic to alkaline pH gradient. Genetic fingerprinting confirmed the identity of the strains as rep

Aerosolization flux, bio-products, and dispersal capacities in the freshwater microalga Limnomonas gaiensis (Chlorophyceae)

Little is known on the spreading capacities of Limnomonas gaiensis across freshwater lakes in Northern Europe. In this study, we show that the species could successfully be aerosolized from water sources by bubble bursting (2-40 particles.cm−3), irrespectively of its density in the water source or of the jet velocity used to simulate wave breaking. The species viability was impacted by both water

Design of product-service systems in SMEs : a review of current research and suggestions for future directions

Purpose: Despite increasing focus among scholars and practitioners on the design of product-service systems (PSS), there exists no compilation of current knowledge on the role played by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in designing such systems. Thus, this paper sets out to identify and organise the existing research and suggest questions for future research. Design/methodology/approach:
