Workplace sexual harassment is associated with poor mental well-being among employees at a large Swedish university

BACKGROUND: Sexual harassment (SH) is a persistent problem at workplaces around the world, including academia.OBJECTIVE: This study examines the association between SH and mental well-being among employees at Lund University (LU) in Sweden.METHODS: Data was obtained from a cross-sectional survey targeting all LU employees in 2019. SH exposure was measured using a ten-item scale capturing SH experi

Gängkriminalitet : Från gatan till sociala medier

Gängkriminaliteten har blivit en del av vardagen – tyvärr. Såväl traditionella som sociala medier svämmar över av hemska nyheter om gängens våld och verksamhet. Gangsterrap har blivit mainstream och belönas med priser.Alltför många – både pojkar och flickor – dras in i dessa miljöer, vare sig de vill det eller inte. Samtidigt sitter gängens ledare långt borta där de drar i kriminalitetenstrådar me

Mapping soil cadmium content using multi-spectral satellite images and multiple-residual-stacking model : Incorporating information from homologous pollution and spectrally active materials

Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination significantly threatens ecosystems and human health. Traditional geochemical investigation, although accurate, is impractical for wide-area and frequent monitoring applications. Multi-spectral satellite images combined with the homologous pollution information (HPI) and the spectral and content information of soil organic matter (SOMSCI) is an unconventional and pro

Independent unit operation of numbering-up microfluidic systems via clamped pressure regulation

Interconnected modular microfluidic devices (MDs) configured in series and parallel have significantly advanced applications like multi-step chemical reactions with enhanced efficiency, production quality, throughput, and automation. However, managing these interconnected MDs is challenging due to complex fluidic networks and interdependent flow dynamics. This study presents a clamped pressure con

Full-scale compact APPLE X prototype undulator at MAX IV - characterization and measurements results

We have developed and built a full-scale, compact APPLE X undulator prototype, intended for use at single-pass machines and fourth-generation storage rings where a small round vacuum chamber can be accommodated. It uses permanent magnets and features a very compact mechanical structure. The undulator is a photon source with full polarization control. The compactness of its structure reduces the ov

Outlier detection in cardiac diffusion tensor imaging : Shot rejection or robust fitting?

Cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) is highly prone to image corruption, yet robust-fitting methods are rarely used. Single voxel outlier detection (SVOD) can overlook corruptions that are visually obvious, perhaps causing reluctance to replace whole-image shot-rejection (SR) despite its own deficiencies. SVOD's deficiencies may be relatively unimportant: corrupted signals that are not statist

Case presentation of acute ischemia induced ST-depression masking Brugada syndrome ECG pattern in a relatively young patient

ECG in Brugada syndrome (BrS) is characterized by a ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. Overlap between ST-segment changes in BrS and ischemia may lead to diagnostic challenges. We report a case of a male patient presented with recurrent chest pain episodes and ST elevation in the right precordial leads consistent with Brugada ECG pattern type 1 and was clinically diagnosed with Br

Human and simian adenoviruses : phylogenetic inferences from analysis of VA RNA genes

Adenovirus VA RNA genes have primary sequence constraints due to internal promoter regions and a high degree of secondary structure in the RNA product. To determine the relationships between human and simian adenoviruses, the VA RNA genes of several primate adenoviruses were characterized and compared to those sequences already published. Human adenoviruses of subgenera A, B:2, and F have only one

Human cathepsin G lacking functional glycosylation site is proteolytically processed and targeted for storage in granules after transfection to the rat basophilic/mast cell line RBL or the murine myeloid cell line 32D

The neutral protease cathepsin G belongs to a family of hematopoietic serine proteases stored in the azurophil granules of the neutrophil granulocyte. To investigate the function of asparagine-linked carbohydrates in neutrophil serine proteases, we constructed a mutant cDNA, coding for human cathepsin G deficient of a functional glycosylation site, for use in a transgenic cellular model. Wild type

Conceptual and empirical item hierarchies of person-centred outpatient care

Introduction: The Person-Centred Care instrument for outpatient care (PCCoc) is a 36-item patient-reported experience measure with 4 ordered response categories, that aims to capture the degree of perceived person-centred care (PCC) from a patient perspective among persons with long-term conditions. The PCCoc is based on a framework that conceptualises outpatient PCC from lower to higher levels of

All-cause mortality and death by aortic dissection in women with Turner syndrome : A national clinical cohort study

Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is a complex genetic disorder with raised mortality. Our objective was to investigate mortality and causes of death in TS. Methods: A matched retrospective observational study of women with TS recruited from the Turner centers in Sweden were conducted. A total of 472 women with TS, ≥16 years old with a cytogenetically verified diagnosis and 2357 controls, matched f

The activation of metaphorical thought as a function of stimulus saliency

The automatic activation of spatial representations of affect has mainly been studied using stimuli at the extreme ends of the valence continuum, such as happy and angry facial expressions (e.g., Damjanovic & Santiago, 2016). It remains unclear whether the 'up = good' metaphor can also be triggered by stimuli with subtle valence. This issue was investigated in the current series of visual sear

Operando study of Ni-22Cr oxidation dynamics with nanoscale resolution in an X-ray photoemission electron microscope

Understanding the initial oxidation pathways on binary Ni-Cr surfaces is import for alloy development and rational design. The early-stage oxidation of Ni-22wt% Cr is studied in-situ and in-operando with synchrotron-based x-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPEEM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) at 500 °C and oxygen exposure from 0 to 65 Langmuir. Preferential Cr oxidation is accompanied by

Residual stresses and microstructure in fine grained cemented carbides doped with Cr and Ti

Three fine grained WC-10 vol% Co cemented carbide materials were produced. One with 1 w% Cr addition, one with 0.025 w% Ti addition and one with both additions of 1 w% Cr and 0.025 w% Ti. It was found that doping of both Cr and Ti is advantageous for grain growth inhibition over just Cr- or Ti-doping. The impact of Cr and Ti as grain growth inhibitors on the residual stress state after sintering w

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and cryogenic soft X-ray tomography enable intracellular localization of stable nanoparticles

Cubosomes have emerged as a powerful platform for cancer treatment due to their biocompatibility and ability to encapsulate hydrophilic/lipophilic drugs, providing controlled drug release. While investigating these nanoparticles' stability and intracellular localization is essential for advancing them as clinically efficient nanomedicine, such studies are still lacking, and those available do not
