European Resuscitation Council and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine Guidelines 2021 : Post-resuscitation care

The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) have collaborated to produce these post-resuscitation care guidelines for adults, which are based on the 2020 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Science with Treatment Recommendations. The topics covered include the post-cardiac arrest syndrome, diagnosis of cause of cardiac a

Challenges with Security Force Assistance in Niger: Understanding Local Context and Aligning Interests

Since the attacks the 11th of September 2001 in the US, there has been a strong increase in security force assistance (SFA) to fragile states with the aim of professionalising security forces, preventing violent extremist organisations (VEO) from exploiting state fragility and, in cases where this has not succeeded, of fighting the latter. At the same time, a shift has taken place with regard to t

Social work “in time” and “on time” : Deadline interaction in the social services

Abstract NORDPRO-conference 2020Teres HjärpeSchool of Social WorkLund universityTeres.hjarpe@soch.lu.seSocial work “in time” and “on time” - Deadline interaction in the social services When a social worker in the Swedish social services investigates the needs of children at risk of being psychologically or physically harmed, there is a specified time limit for how long these investigations may las

Species-specific reservoir effect estimates : A case study of archaeological marine samples from the Bering Strait

Due to the marine reservoir effect, radiocarbon dates of marine samples require a correction. Marine reservoir effects, however, may vary amongdifferent marine species within a given body of water. Factors such as diet, feeding depth and migratory behaviour all affect the 14C date of a marineorganism. Moreover, there is often significant variation within single marine species. Whilst the careful c

Walnuts, salmon and sika deer : Exploring the evolution and diversification of Jōmon “culinary” traditions in prehistoric Hokkaidō

The goal of this contribution is to stimulate a wider reflection on the role of food consumption practices throughout prehistory. We focussed on the Jōmon communities of Hokkaidō Island in Northern Japan since these mobile foragers underwent a process of economic diversification and intensification, eventually leading to higher levels of sedentism across the Pleistocene-Holocene transition.

Structural basis of ABCF-mediated resistance to pleuromutilin, lincosamide, and streptogramin A antibiotics in Gram-positive pathogens

Target protection proteins confer resistance to the host organism by directly binding to the antibiotic target. One class of such proteins are the antibiotic resistance (ARE) ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins of the F-subtype (ARE-ABCFs), which are widely distributed throughout Gram-positive bacteria and bind the ribosome to alleviate translational inhibition from antibiotics that target the lar

Wood modification as a tool to understand moisture in wood

Moisture plays a central role in the performance of wood products because it affects important material properties such as the resistance to decomposition, the mechanical properties, and the dimensions. To improve wood performance, a wide range of wood modification techniques that alter the wood chemistry in various ways have been described in the literature. Typically, these modifications aim to

European Resuscitation Council and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine guidelines 2021 : post-resuscitation care

Storytelling for Sustainability

If we want to imagine a more sustainable future, we need to be emotionally connected with that vision. Providing the latest facts and figures alone won’t do the trick. We suggest storytelling can be a great way to convey these facts in a compelling way to envision and connect with a possible future. Stories are an effective narrative device, because they activate areas of the brain responsible for

Crystal structures of Val58Ile tryptophan repressor in a domain-swapped array in the presence and absence of l-tryptophan Sprenger Janina

The crystal structures of domain-swapped tryptophan repressor (TrpR) variant Val58Ile before and after soaking with the physiological ligand l-tryptophan (l-Trp) indicate that l-Trp occupies the same location in the domain-swapped form as in native dimeric TrpR and makes equivalent residue contacts. This result is unexpected because the ligand binding-site residues arise from three separate polype

Symptom clusters in COVID-19 : A potential clinical prediction tool from the COVID Symptom Study app

As no one symptom can predict disease severity or the need for dedicated medical support in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), we asked whether documenting symptom time series over the first few days informs outcome. Unsupervised time series clustering over symptom presentation was performed on data collected from a training dataset of completed cases enlisted early from the COVID Symptom Study

Treatment outcomes in persons with severe haemophilia B in the Nordic region : The B-NORD study

Introduction: Data on outcome in persons with haemophilia B (PwHB) are limited and mainly extrapolated from studies of haemophilia A (HA). Aim: To characterize treatment outcomes in persons with severe HB in the Nordic region, with a focus on joint health, compared with matched controls with HA. Methods: PwHB attending haemophilia centres in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden were enrolled and ma

Semantic Synthesis of Pedestrian Locomotion

We present a model for generating 3d articulated pedestrian locomotion in urban scenarios, with synthesis capabilities informed by the 3d scene semantics and geometry. We reformulate pedestrian trajectory forecasting as a structured reinforcement learning (RL) problem. This allows us to naturally combine prior knowledge on collision avoidance, 3d human motion capture and the motion of pedestrians

The links between students’ relationships with teachers, likeability among peers, and bullying victimization : the intervening role of teacher responsiveness

Highly responsive teachers tend to foster behaviors that are low in conflict and high in prosociality, among their students, leading to a positive classroom climate and to a decrease in bullying victimization. However, little is known about the interaction between teacher responsiveness and both student–teacher, and student–student relationship characteristics, in influencing students’ bullying vi

Periodontitis, assessed using periodontal treatment as a surrogate marker, has no association with a first myocardial infarction in a Swedish population

Background: Periodontitis is suggested to be associated with a risk of cardiovascular events. Using periodontal treatment recorded in Swedish national registries as a surrogate marker, we aimed to investigate whether periodontitis was associated with a first myocardial infarction. Methods: This nationwide case-control study, with data from national registries, involved 51,880 individuals with a fi
