Introduction Tattooing is common in many populations, yet population-based data on side effects remain limited. We aimed to describe the occurrence of self-reported acute- and delayed-onset side effects following tattooing and investigate individual and tattoo-related determinants in a Swedish population.Methods The Swedish Tattoo and Body Modifications Cohort includes 13 049 participants, of whom
Focus herein is on hydrogenous gases interacting with porous-carbon materials on activated biochar at pressures ranging from 0 to 100 bar and temperatures from room (ambient) to cryogenic. Neutron radiography was conducted using a custom-made cell system to simultaneously image pure gas and gas interacting with the porous carbon. From neutron attenuation, the cross sections of methane and ethane a
Purpose: Across many countries, primary care is under growing strain. Primary care clinicians face increasing workloads, costs are rising, and ageing populations are driving up demand for care. In this context, corporate actors with a for-profit objective are spotting opportunities to enter the “healthcare market,” bringing new forms of organisation and delivery into primary care. This process of
Vaccine candidates are typically identified through characterization of microbial surface antigens expressed under laboratory conditions. Here, we studied the major human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes and showed that Slr, a lipoprotein encoded by all strains, is not detected on the bacterial surface during growth in broth but nevertheless is targeted by protective antibodies in vivo, as demonstr
International law provides for the autonomy of the Åland Islands. The source of this law (“the Åland Islands Autonomy Regime”) is far from clear and much debated. A literature survey furnishes five possibilities. Thus, the Regime may have been created: (i) by the conclusion of a bilateral agreement; (ii) by unilateral declaration; (iii) by the conclusion of a bilateral agreement and the tacit acce
Objective: To describe the epidemiology, organ involvement, histopathological patterns, and clinical management of immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) in Stockholm County, Sweden. Method: Patients with an International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, Swedish Edition (ICD-10-SE) diagnosis of IgG4-RD recorded between 2019 and 2023 were identified from the Swedish National Patient
Purpose: To comparatively map primary health care (PHC) nurses’ roles across European countries (including Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden) identify convergences and divergences in scope of practice, education, roles, and regulation, and explore advanced practice and care navigation functions. The workshop engages participants to discuss experiential, organizational,
Early Music makes fundamental contributions to society and cultural identity, from mass media to tourist sites, from annual festivals to national heritage projects. Yet Early Music research often has difficulty conforming to institutional and policy-based categories and definitions at a European level, typically being divided between two major policy domains: science & research, represented by
Reliable building performance management involves reducing energy use and peak demand while maintaining indoor comfort and operational safety. Achieving these objectives requires effective strategies across the building life cycle, from early-stage design to operation. However, the availability, quality, and structure of building data vary considerably between life cycle stages. Buildings in opera
This study introduces a reinforcement-learning-based sequential sampling framework for adaptive control charts. Traditional adaptive charts improve monitoring efficiency by adjusting sampling effort according to the current chart state, but they require manually specified decision regions and region-to-action assignments. This becomes difficult when many sample-size and sampling-interval combinati
We develop a continuous-time framework in which the risk associated with leverage is parameterized by a dimensionless drawdown-risk index relative to an arbitrary reference asset. We further show that the growth-optimal Kelly portfolio is the unique portfolio whose relative drawdown-risk index is invariant to the reference asset. Additionally, we characterize when portfolios have equal relative dr
European forests have historically served as a major carbon sink and are a crucial part of the LULUCF sector for net-zero planning in many countries. However, national greenhouse gas inventories report that forest sink capacity has declined by one-third over the past decade. This decline has been attributed to be due to multiple interacting factors: climate conditions that now constrain rather th
Ovarian cancer remains a major clinical challenge due to its pronounced heterogeneity and the high incidence of chemoresistance and metastatic dissemination. Despite advances in molecular profiling, the functional mechanisms driving these processes remain incompletely understood, limiting the development of effective targeted therapies. Addressing this gap requires approaches that capture the dyna
