Aim: To compare incidence of urolithiasis in second-generation immigrant children aged 0-17 years to children of Swedish-born parents. Methods: A nationwide study of individuals residing in Sweden. Urolithiasis was defined as having at least one registered diagnosis of urolithiasis in the Swedish National Patient Register between January 1, 1998 and December 31, 2015. Cox regression analysis was u
Aim: To investigate whether there was an association between periodontitis and airflow limitation in older Swedish individuals. Materials and Methods: Study individuals were randomly selected from the Swedish civil registration database representing the ageing population in Karlskrona, Sweden. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed, alongside which participants completed questionnai
Mainstream option valuation theory relies implicitly on the assumption that latent states (such as stochastic volatility) and parameters are perfectly known, an assumption that is dubious in many ways. Computing the value of options under the assumption of perfect knowledge will typically introduce bias. Correcting for the bias is straightforward but can be computationally expensive. Fourier-base
This chapter discusses the key aspects of engineered nanomaterial (ENM) toxicity. The individual properties of ENMs affecting their toxic potential are described, with a special focus on size, shape, and surface charge and functionalization. We present empirical evidence from a range of in vitro and in vivo studies showing potential adverse effects induced via inhalation, ingestion, or skin contac
Abstract in German:Das Hochleistungs-Innenrundschälschleifen mit galvanisch gebundenen CBN-Schleifwerkzeugen ist ein hocheffizientes Fertigungsverfahren für die Innenbearbeitung von gehärteten Futterbauteilen wie Zahnrädern und Lagerringen. Die konturierten Schleifwerkzeuge, welche mit einer konischen Schrupp- und zylindrischen Schlichtzone versehen sind, kombinieren in einem einzelnen Axialhub ei
There is a lack of knowledge on mentally disordered sex offenders (MDSOs) targeting adult victims, especially regarding recidivism patterns and the specific subgroup with psychiatric disorders. This paper presents index offense data, clinical data, and recidivism patterns over up to 24 years in a cohort of 146 MDSOs, with and without psychotic disorders, sentenced in Sweden between 1993 and 1997.
Background: Long outdoor stay may cause hazardous exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun even at high latitudes as in Sweden (Spring to Autumn). On the other hand, long outdoor stay is a strong predictor of primary school children´s free mobility involving moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). UV-protective outdoor environments enable long outdoor stay. We investigated the c
This article is an update of the review of the FORS system published in Immunohematology in 2017 (Hult AK, Olsson ML. The FORS awakens: review of a blood group system reborn. Immunohematology 2017;33:64-72). This update incorporates the most recently presented knowledge on this still enigmatic system and its genetic, enzymatic, and immunological aspects. Further insight into the genetic variation
The European eel Anguilla anguilla Linnaeus 1758 is critically endangered with recruitment estimated at 5–10% of historical levels. Enhancing survival of recruits is pivotal for conservation, and restoration should consider habitat choice of elvers ascending river systems. We experimentally show that newly ascended elvers choose small pebble habitat over finer and larger substrates, regardless of
Purpose: In vivo Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers for tau pathology are cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and [18F]flortaucipir positron emission tomography (PET). Our aim was to assess associations between CSF p-tau with [18F]flortaucipir PET and the associations of both tau biomarkers with cognition and atrophy. Methods: We included 78 amyloid positive cognitively impaired
Wild geese are increasing in agricultural and urban settings across Europe, leading to widespread human–geese interactions. This study examined how the public’s acceptance of geese (attitude and acceptance capacity) varied depending on place dimensions, interactions with geese in different settings (place-based experience), and psychological factors, including wildlife value orientations, beliefs
Interactions between grain boundaries and domain walls were extensively studied in ferroelectric films and bicrystals. This knowledge, however, has not been transferred to polycrystalline ceramics, in which the grain size represents a powerful tool to tailor the electromechanical and dielectric response. Here, we relate changes in dielectric and electromechanical properties of a bulk polycrystalli
Background: Although the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting a relatively small proportion of the global population, its effects have already reached everyone. The pandemic has the potential to differentially disadvantage chronically ill patients, including those with Parkinson's disease (PD). The first health care reaction has been to limit access to clinics and neurology wards to preserve fragile pat
Based on a case study of the import of the German Democratic Republic (GDR)children’s programmeUnser Sandm€annchento Sweden in the early 1970s, thisarticle explores the cultural recoding at work in the processes of transnational mediaexchange. Using archival source material from both Germany and Sweden as well asSwedish press debate, the article argues for an entangled media perspective on ColdWar
Altered cerebral glucose uptake is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A dynamic glucose-enhanced (DGE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach was developed to simultaneously monitor d-glucose uptake and clearance in both brain parenchyma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We observed substantially higher uptake in parenchyma of young (6 months) transgenic AD mice compared to age-matc
