Increased vascular endothelial growth factor D is associated with atrial fibrillation and ischaemic stroke
Objective: Vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) has important functions in lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis. High plasma levels of VEGF-D have been associated with incidence of heart failure. The association of VEGF-D with atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke is unclear and we hypothesised that VEGF-D could also be associated with incidence of AF and ischaemic stroke. Methods: VEGF-D was
Switching from originator infliximab to the biosimilar CT-P13 in 313 patients with inflammatory bowel disease
BACKGROUND: As the patents of originator biologics are expiring, biosimilar versions are becoming available for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, published switch studies of the first infliximab biosimilar, CT-P13, have delivered ambiguous results that could be interpreted as showing a trend towards inferior effectiveness in Crohn's disease (CD) compared with ulcerative c

‘State governing of knowledge’–constraining social work research and practice*
Evidence-based practice (EBP) has been launched, spread, and established in social work in Sweden in the last decade. Today, impact studies and ‘what works’ are the recommended approaches, and medical ways to understand and examine social problems thus are prioritised over the broad social science perspectives on which social work rests. This development has culminated in an institutionalised syst
Genetic variation associated with chromosomal aberration frequency : A genome-wide association study
Chromosomal aberrations (CAs) in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) measured with the conventional cytogenetic assay have been used for human biomonitoring of genotoxic exposure for decades. CA frequency in peripheral blood is a marker of cancer susceptibility. Previous studies have shown associations between genetic variants in metabolic pathway, DNA repair and major mitotic checkpoint gene
Ecology and macroevolution – evolutionary niche monopolisation as a mechanisms of niche conservatism
Explaining macroevolution from microevolution is a key issue in contemporary evolutionary theory. A recurrent macroevolutionary pattern is that some niche-related traits consistently evolve slower than others, so called niche conservatism. Despite a growing amount of data, the underlying evolutionary processes are not fully understood. I here analyse adaptive radiations in an individual-based eco-
Plasma lactate at admission does not predict mortality and complications in hip fracture patients : a prospective observational study
Hip fractures in elderly carry a high mortality. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that plasma lactate concentration at hospital admission can be used to identify patients with a high risk for poor outcome. Hip fracture patients admitted to a university hospital in Sweden from January 2011 to August 2014 in whom a venous lactate was obtained at admission were included in this prospective ob
Clinical evidence supporting the use of donor sclera as spacer material in complicated cases of strabismus surgery – retrospective evaluation of surgical results in 117 patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy or congenital strabismus
Purpose: To examine the outcome of the use of donor sclera as spacer material in complicated cases of strabismus surgery. Methods: A retrospective cohort study on patients with complicated thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) (n = 42) or congenital strabismus (n = 75). Patients underwent strabismus surgery during 1994–2014. The surgical results were evaluated in terms of the reduction in the an
The Disjunctive Structure of Positive Rights under the European Convention on Human Rights
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has reiterated that states have discretion regarding what means to use to fulfil their positive obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights (echr). Given the "wide range of possible measures" that could be taken to ensure compliance with positive rights, these rights have a disjunctive structure since an omission has no definitive counterpar
Prediction of the cutting forces in gear hobbing and the wear behaviour of the individual hob cutting teeth
In this paper, a mathematical model is presented, by which the cutting forces in a gear hobbing process and the wear behaviour of the hob's all cutting teeth are predicted. The load on each individual hob cutting tooth varies heavily in the gear hobbing process. To predict the cutting force, and subsequently the tool wear, a detailed determination of the chip geometry is needed. The undeformed chi

Voice and punctuation : A process model of conflict enactment in new venture teams
This paper presents an emergent process model of conflict enactment in new venture teams. The analysis is based on the inductive study of conflict process in three new venture teams over six months, leveraging a unique combination of interviews, video recorded observations and analysis of online chat conversations among team members. The analysis advances team conflict research by offering a novel
The mediatized tourism city under terror: Dilemmas and strategies for destination management organisations
The concern of this paper is with the mediatisation of tourism cities through fast circulating narratives on digital platforms in an era characterised as post-truth involving the spread of fake news and disinformation. Hence far, there is scarce knowledge on how misleading information and false rumours concerning terrorism affect the image of tourism cities. In addition, extant research studies pr
Analysis of an Oscillating Two-Stage Evaporator System through Modelling and Simulation: an Industrial Case Study
With increasing demands on the industry for resource efficiency, processes are often built or retrofitted withrecycle streams in order to decrease energy and raw material demands. However, this also increases thecomplexity of the process as a whole and may bring unexpected effects. In this contribution, such a case,consisting of a two-stage evaporator system, fed with the product stream of an upst
Effect of exercise on the plasma vesicular proteome : A methodological study comparing acoustic trapping and centrifugation
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous group of actively released vesicles originating from a wide range of cell types. Characterization of these EVs and their proteomes in the human plasma provides a novel approach in clinical diagnostics, as they reflect physiological and pathological states. However, EV isolation is technically challenging with the current methods having several disad
Affectual Demands and the Creative Worker: Experiencing Selves and Emotions in the Creative Organization
Creative workers are increasingly called upon to engage affectually with their work through discourses that demand a love or passion for one’s work. In an organisational setting, these discourses can collapse the distance between selves and work, heightening the sense of personal meaningfulness derived from work. However, these discourses can also be used to discipline an organisationally desirabl
