De första universiteten i Europa grundades i en tid då samhället var strikt hierarkiskt. Det bestod av sammanslutningar, så kallade korporationer, med olika rättigheter och skyldigheter sinsemellan. Universitetet utvecklades till att bli en sådan korporation. Efterhand tillerkändes vissa korporationer privilegier, inledningsvis av den andliga makten och sedan av den värdsliga. Ett av de privilegieThe first universities in Europe were founded during a time when society was strictly hierarchical. It consisted of various associations, so called corporations, each with their own different rights and obligations. The university developed to become such a corporation. Subsequently, certain privileges were granted certain corporations, at first by the spiritual power and later by the worldly powe

Maskless UV photolithography is increasingly used, especially in research environments where low turn-around time for new designs improves productivity. Here, we fabricate pyrolytic carbon interdigitated microelectrodes with small interelectrode gaps, good adhesion to the carrier substrate, high surface area and excellent electrochemical properties using maskless UV photolithography with two negat

Background: Despite a good prognosis, survivors of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may have reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL) many years after treatment, and it is unclear how suppression of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) may contribute to HRQOL. This study investigated changes in HRQOL in the 5 years following DTC treatment, the association between HRQOL and TSH suppression, a

A healthy and functional peritoneal membrane is key to achieving sufficient ultrafiltration and restoring fluid balance, a major component of high-quality prescription in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). Variability in membrane function at the start of PD or changes over time on treatment influence dialysis prescription and outcomes, and dysfunction of the peritoneal membrane contri

Background: Small bowel neuroendocrine tumours often present with locally advanced or metastatic disease. The aim of this paper is to provide evidence-based recommendations regarding (controversial) topics in the surgical management of advanced small bowel neuroendocrine tumours. Methods: A working group of experts was formed by the European Society of Endocrine Surgeons. The group addressed 11 cl

How should states and international organizations allocate global health resources? This paper examines proposals for distributing these resources in the literature. First, we look at the literature on the metrics for measuring what matters and consider how they might be modified to avoid some common objections—e.g., that these measures discriminate against the disabled or fail to give due weight

Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has failed to reduce cardiovascular risk in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in randomized trials. CPAP increases angiopoietin-2, a lung distension-responsive endothelial proinflammatory marker associated with increased cardiovascular risk. We investigated whether CPAP has unanticipated proinflammatory effects in patients with OSA and cardiovasc

This article explores three different discourse, found by analyzing a panel discussion on digital archives held in Sweden in 2011. The aim was to identify the varying implications of different discourse on the holistic concept of the archive. The overall aim was to increase understanding of information governance within the context of e-government. To this end, discourse theory is used to compare

Photolabile (µ-peroxo)(µ-hydroxo)bis[bis(bipyridyl)-cobalt-based caged oxygen compounds have been synthesized and characterized by optical absorbance spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography. and the quantum yield and redox stability were investigated. Furthermore, conditions were established where redox incompatibilities encountered between caged oxygen compounds and oxygen-dependant cytochrome c oxid

We study the flow stability and spatiotemporal spectral dynamics of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspensions in a custom Taylor-Couette flow cell using the intrinsic shear induced birefringence and liquid crystalline properties of CNC suspensions for flow visualizations, for the first time. The analysis is performed at constant ramped speed inputs of the independently rotating cylinders for several

Rationale: Knowledge regarding the prevalence and shared and unique characteristics of the restrictive spirometric pattern (RSP) and preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is lacking for a general population investigated with post-bronchodilator spirometry and computed tomography of the lungs. Objectives: To investigate shared and unique features for RSP and PRISm. Methods: In the Swedish CAr

Aims: We aimed to create a predictive model utilizing machine learning (ML) to identify new cases of congestive heart failure (CHF) in individuals with diabetes in primary health care (PHC) through the analysis of diagnostic data. Methods: We used a sex- and age-matched case–control design. Cases of new CHF were identified across all outpatient care settings 2015–2022 (n = 9098). We included indiv

STOP START PAUSE is a performance created by LIMINAL performance group in close collaboration with Danish artist duo Hesselholdt & Mejlvang.The audience was met by three emissaries armed with banners, symbols, fanfares and beliefs. They had come to help us to a new beginning without the conflicts and problems of our time. And asked the question: how do we free ourselves from ingrained patterns

The aim of this study was to understand, through interview-format podcasts, how individuals who have committed criminal acts from a young age described their pathway into crime and their process of desistance. Our study was based on a qualitative approach in the form of a thematic analysis of eight podcast episodes. We analyzed the empirical data using Howard S. Becker’s labeling theory (2006) and

Nationalism has a potent influence on historical memory – and this can skew in unexpected directions.
