The Database of Cross-Linguistic Colexifications, reproducible analysis of cross-linguistic polysemies

Advances in computer-assisted linguistic research have been greatly influential in reshaping linguistic research. With the increasing availability of interconnected datasets created and curated by researchers, more and more interwoven questions can now be investigated. Such advances, however, are bringing high requirements in terms of rigorousness for preparing and curating datasets. Here we prese

Nutrient-wide association study of 92 foods and nutrients and breast cancer risk

BACKGROUND: Several dietary factors have been reported to be associated with risk of breast cancer, but to date, unequivocal evidence only exists for alcohol consumption. We sought to systematically assess the association between intake of 92 foods and nutrients and breast cancer risk using a nutrient-wide association study. METHODS: Using data from 272,098 women participating in the European Pros

Pain in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy - a cross-sectional register study of 3545 individuals

BACKGROUND: Pain is a common problem for individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). In Sweden, 95% of children and adolescents with CP are followed in a national follow-up programme (CPUP), which includes data on pain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of pain based on age, sex, gross motor function and source of report (self or proxy). Pain intensity, pain site, and how much

Essays on Corporate Growth and Corporate Credit Risk

This doctoral dissertation contributes to research on financial economics. It consists of an overall introduction and three independent papers. The first paper, “A Theory of Gazelle Growth: Competition, Venture Capital Finance, and Policy,” examines how young fast-growing small firms, called gazelles, develop. The paper investigates under which circumstances gazelles grow by establishing a new fac

Lifestyle factors and risk of multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases : a multinational cohort study

BACKGROUND: Although lifestyle factors have been studied in relation to individual non-communicable diseases (NCDs), their association with development of a subsequent NCD, defined as multimorbidity, has been scarcely investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between five lifestyle factors and incident multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases. METHODS: In thi

Tear menisci and corneal subbasal nerve density in patients after laser in situ keratomileusis

Objective: To investigate the relationship between tear menisci and corneal nerve density in patients after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods: Twenty-eight eyes of 14 myopic patients were enrolled. Height and area of the upper and lower tear menisci—upper tear meniscus height, upper tear meniscus area, lower tear meniscus height (LTMH), and lower tear meniscus area (LTMA)—were measured

Investigating opioid-related fatalities in southern Sweden : contact with care-providing authorities and comparison of substances

BACKGROUND: Opioid-related deaths have increased in Western countries over recent decades. Despite numerous studies investigating opioid-related mortality, only a few have focused on the lives of the deceased individuals prior to their deaths, specifically regarding contact with care-providing authorities such as health, social and correctional services. Furthermore, a change has been noted in the

Cerebro-spinal fluid biomarker levels : phosphorylated tau (T) and total tau (N) as markers for rate of progression in Alzheimer's disease

BACKGROUND: We investigated the potential associations between cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) levels of phosphorylated tau (P-tau) and total tau (T-tau) with short-term response to cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment, longitudinal outcome and progression rates in Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: This prospective, observational study included 129 participants clinically diagnosed with mild-to-m

OGRDB : a reference database of inferred immune receptor genes

High-throughput sequencing of the adaptive immune receptor repertoire (AIRR-seq) is providing unprecedented insights into the immune response to disease and into the development of immune disorders. The accurate interpretation of AIRR-seq data depends on the existence of comprehensive germline gene reference sets. Current sets are known to be incomplete and unrepresentative of the degree of polymo

Scientific publications as boundary objects: theorising the intersection of classification and research evaluation

Introduction. When using bibliometrics for research evaluation, the classification of research fields is an issue of great importance. The purpose of this paper is to outline a brief theoretical framework for analysing the role of classification in research evaluation practices.Theory. Taking departure in the concept of ‘boundary objects’ we develop a theoretical framework for analyses of how scie
