Research Data Management from planning to analysis: A case study of the NanoMAX beamline station at MAX IV Laboratory

The report summarises a small case study in which two research groups were interviewed and observed as they were planning, conducting and analysing experiments at MAX IV Laboratory.The aim of the study was to identify the current research data management practices of the scientists, and to connect this to how these practices are supported by MAX IV.The report summarises a small case study in which two research groups were interviewed and observed as they were planning, conducting and analysing experiments at MAX IV Laboratory.The aim of the study was to identify the current research data management practices of the scientists, and to connect this to how these practices are supported by MAX IV.

A new professional landscape: Entangled institutional logics in two Swedish welfare professions

Previous research has made three parallel but incompatible observations on the contemporary development of welfare professions: loss of professional autonomy, hybridization, and maintained autonomy. Yet, research providing contextual understanding of the simultaneous occurrence of these three observations is lacking. The aim of this theoretical paper is to identify and explain seemingly contradict

Numerical study on thermal performance of non-uniform flow channel designs for cooling plates of PEM fuel cells

Due to the limited cooling capacity of air, large-scale proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stacks are generally cooled by liquid cooling where liquid water is circulated through the flow channels of cooling plates. Effective cooling is essential for the stability, durability, and performance of PEM fuel cells. In this study, cooling plates with conventional straight channel and novel non-uni

Manufacturing relocation abroad and back : Empirical evidence from the Nordic countries

Abstract: Businesses have increasingly engaged in various forms of cross-border transfers of activities. Much production, knowledge and work has been moved offshore from developed economies to achieve better competitiveness. However, recent research has begun to report about an opposite movement, i.e., backshoring of business activities. This research paper reports empirical survey results, explor

Antihypertensive drugs and relevant cardiovascular pharmacotherapies and the risk of incident dementia in patients with atrial fibrillation

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and dementia are predominant among the elderly; patients with AF have an increased dementia risk. We aimed to study if prescribed antihypertensive drugs and cardiovascular pharmacotherapies are associated with a lower relative risk of dementia. Methods: All included patients were ≥45 years and diagnosed with AF in primary care; 12,096 (6580 men and 5516 women)

Creating Transformative Force? The Role of Spatial Planning in Climate Change Transitions Towards Sustainable Transportation

Informed by the concept of strategy making, this paper analyses the ability of spatial planning to support local climate change transitions towards sustainable transportation in two case studies of planning in Swedish municipalities with comparatively high climate ambitions. The analysis shows that the expectations on planning to effect change need to be moderated. Not even in these climate-ambiti

Union Regulatory Criminal Law Competence after Lisbon Treaty

This chapter analyses the scope of the Union’s regulatory criminal law competence subsequent to the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty. The chapter is primarily focused on examining what legal limitations that can be imposed on the Union’s competence to impose criminal penalties under the new legal basis in Article 83(2) TFEU. In particular, the chapter examines in detail whether criminal sanctions

Immediate breast reconstruction with a wise pattern mastectomy and NAC-sparing McKissock vertical bipedicle dermal flap

Preservation of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) in immediate reconstruction of ptotic and large breasts is surgically challenging. This article presents a modification of the inferior dermal flap ("dermal sling") to a vertical bipedicle flap with NAC preservation. This flap is well described in breast reductions but has never been described in a mastectomy setting. The study reviews data for a cas

The Swedish cost burden of overweight and obesity - Evaluated with the PAR approach and a statistical modelling approach

The rising trend in the prevalence of obesity, which is a major risk factor for a number of diseases notably diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, has become a major public health concern in many countries during the past decades. This development has also led to an increased cost burden on the public health care delivery system that has been documented in many studies. The standard approach taken

Microfluidic connections to hollow nanowires

We have fabricated a device in which hollow nanowires (HNWs) lying on a glass surface are connected to microfluidic channels for the purpose of guiding DNA and to characterize the fluidic properties of our HNWs. The dimensions of our HNWs (inner diameter 10-80 nm, outer diameter 50-200 nm and length several μm) can be made on a scale much smaller than the size of a cell and on the same order of ma

Fluorescence enhancement from single DNA molecules confined in SiO 2 nanochannels

We demonstrate that the detected emission intensity from YOYO-labeled DNA molecules confined in 180 nm deep Si/SiO2 nanofunnels changes significantly and not monotonically with the width of the funnel, an emission enhancement that is only detected for emitted light polarized parallel to the channel. We explain the enhancement effect as being due to optical phenomena in the channels. The enhancemen

Cost-effectiveness of club-foot treatment in low-income and middle-income countries by the Ponseti method

BACKGROUND: Club foot is a common congenital deformity affecting 150 000-200 000 children every year. Untreated patients end up walking on the side or back of the affected foot, with severe social and economic consequences. Club foot is highly treatable by the Ponseti method, a non-invasive technique that has been described as highly suitable for use in resource-limited settings. To date, there ha

Cloning arbuscule-related genes from mycorrhizas

Until recently little was known about the identity of the genes expressed in the arbuscules of mycorrhizas, due in part to problems associated with cloning genes from the tissues of an obligate symbiont. However, the combination of advanced molecular techniques, innovative use of the materials available and fortuitous cloning has resulted in the recent identification of a number of arbuscule-relat

Intrapartum midwifery care impact Swedish couple's birth experiences — A cross-sectional study

Background: Parents’ birth experiences affect bonding with their infant, which in turn may influence the child's future health. Parents’ satisfaction with childbirth is multi-dimensional and dependent on both expectations and experiences. Increasing involvement of partners in intrapartum care may lead to an assumption that the birthing couple shares attitudes and expectations of intrapartum care.

Parkinson's disease : Evolution of cognitive impairment and CSF Aβ1-42 profiles in a prospective longitudinal study

Objective: To evaluate the evolution of cognitive impairment in relation to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profiles of amyloid-β (Aβ), total-Tau and phosphorylated-Tau in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: Prospective, longitudinal, observational study up to 10 years with follow-up every 2 years. We assessed CSF profiles in 415 patients with sporadic PD (median age 66; 63% men) and 142 healthy controls

Search for B - L R-parity-violating top squarks in √s=13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS experiment

A search is presented for the direct pair production of the stop, the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, that decays through an R-parity-violating coupling to a final state with two leptons and two jets, at least one of which is identified as a b-jet. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s= 13 TeV, collec

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a strong predictor of coronary artery calcification in metabolically healthy subjects : A cross-sectional, population-based study in middle-aged subjects

Objectives This study aims to estimate the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and measures of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and to determine to what extent such relationships are modified by metabolic risk factors. Methods The study was conducted in the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) pilot cohort (n = 1015, age 50–64 y
