Background - Correct blood group typing is the cornerstone of transfusion medicine. In patients whose gastrointestinal wall is compromised, bacterial enzymes can cause deacetylation of blood group A, converting N-acetylgalactosamine to galactosamine, which resembles the B-defining galactose. This acquired B (acqB) phenomenon, first described 1959, can lead to blood grouping errors. Herein, we expl

This deliverable summarizes the results of the co-development of innovative heritage-led regeneration plans in Replicators and builds on findings and activities coming from WP1-4 and WP7. RURITAGE’s 6 Replicators represent six very diverse rural areas in Europe and beyond (Austria, Norway, Germany, Slovenia, Italy and Turkey) and are acting as the main laboratories to test the RURITAGE approach.

I de två utvecklingsprojekten Elevers texter och Idrott- och hälsa-lärar-studenter bedömning (ETIB) och Vetenskapligt skrivande i ämneslärarutbildningen i Idrott och hälsa (VSIH) har vi fokuserat på språk och språkbruk inom ämneslärarutbildningen i Idrott och hälsa vid Linnéuniversitetet. Det första har avsett att ge studenterna verktyg att hantera elevskrivna texter i sin kommande lärargärning, m

Stora företag i västvärlden har de senaste åren i ökad takt inkorporerat social rättvisa (jämställdhet, HBTQ+ rättigheter, rättvisa i rasfrågan) och miljörättvisa i deras marknadsföring och reklam. Modebranschen är en av de branscher som har använt sig särskilt mycket av social rättvise-symbolik. Denna avhandling fokuserar på artikulationer av miljö, genus, och ras genom en studie av hållbarhet ocThe corporatisation of social justice (gender justice, LGBTQI+ rights, racial justice) and environmental justice ideals in the last decades has grown immensely in western countries, exemplified by rainbow-clad ATM’s during Pride month or Nike using images of NFL player Kaepernick’s anti-racism protest action of taking a knee during the USA national anthem in a marketing campaign. One of the indust

The agricultural sector in northwestern Iran uses about 95 % of the region's available water resources and nearly 98 % of are aquifer water. Despite the regiońs previous richness in water resources, the supply is now quickly decreasing. The Ghorveh-Dehgolan sub-basin in northwestern Iran consists of three dams as well as three aquifers that supply water resources for agriculture, domestic uses, an

The COVID-19 pandemic could be driving more households to migrate out of cities and to the countryside, but this might result in an increased demand for access to green space which, in the long run, may cause a widening of social inequalities in rural areas. On the contrary, if planned for, it could provide an opportunity for repopulation and regeneration. This article explores the underlying caus

Rural gentrification, amenity-led in-migration and displacement in more attractive parts of the countryside are taking up more of the rural discourse. Along this, the centrality of landscape, as a driver for gentrification and as something affected by the same notion, is establishing. This paper explores the paradox of how people move to a certain area because they find that particular landscape a

Digital technologies have enabled novel forms and reconfigurations of value creation, delivery, and capture. These new reconfigurations challenge the conventional notion of value creation with digital business models. On that premise, the widening of privacy concerns, alert us that organizations of the elite digital, like Netflix, Amazon, and Spotify, design technology to feed on personal data, ba

INTRODUCTION: Delay in diagnosis of posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) syndrome is common, and the lack of familiarity with assessment tools for identifying visual cortical dysfunction is a contributing factor. We propose recommendations for the approach to the evaluation of PCA clinical features during the office visit, the neuropsychological evaluation, and the research setting. A recommended scre

Despite the plethora of information on (S)-selective amine transaminases, the (R)-selective ones are still not well-studied; only a few structures are known to date, and their substrate scope is limited, apart from a few stellar works in the field. Herein, the structure ofLuminiphilus syltensis(R)-selective amine transaminase is elucidated to facilitate engineering towards variants active on bulki

Background: Allergic contact allergy and dermatitis are frequently reported among epoxy-exposed workers. Objectives: To determine the risk of dermatitis associated with epoxy exposure. Methods: We followed 825 epoxy-exposed and 1091 non-exposed blue-collar workers, and 493 white-collar workers of a Danish wind turbine blade factory during 2017–2022 with linked data from national health registers o

Rapid advances in genomics have opened unprecedented possibilities to explore the mutational landscapes in malignant diseases, such as B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). This disease is manifested as a severe defect in the production of normal blood cells due to the uncontrolled expansion of transformed B-lymphocyte progenitors in the bone marrow. Even though classical genetics identifie

This review addresses outstanding questions regarding initial pharmacological management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Optimizing initial treatment improves clinical outcomes in symptomatic patients, including those with low exacerbation risk. Long-acting muscarinic antagonist/long-acting β2-agonist (LAMA/LABA) dual therapy improves lung function versus LAMA or LABA monotherapy,

Highbush blueberry production has expanded worldwide in recent decades. To safeguard future yields, it is essential to understand if insect pollination is limiting current blueberry production and which insects contribute to pollination in different production regions. We present a systematic review including a set of meta-analyses on insect-mediated pollination in highbush blueberry. We summarize
