A diagnosis of society and Nordic sociology

Why are Nordic sociologists not providing diagnoses of society these days? What has happened to our desire to describe the wider sociocultural currents of the world we live in? Where indeed are the present-day Danish Sennett, the Finnish Rosa, or the Swedish Bauman? These questions resurface now and again, yet without gaining substantial traction. Even so, present-day Nordic sociology is in many w

Charcot Foot Offloading in Stage 0 Is Associated With Shorter Total Contact Cast Treatment and Lower Risk of Recurrence and Reconstructive Surgery : A Pilot Study

OBJECTIVE: Charcot foot (CF) requires prolonged offloading of the affected foot to decrease the risk of deformity. The earliest phase in active CF (stage 0) is characterized by inflammatory signs without established fractures or skeletal deformity. We investigated whether offloading in stage 0 influences duration of total contact casting (TCC), risk of recurrence, and future need for surgery.RESEA

Tumour deposits in colon cancer predict recurrence and reduced survival in a nationwide population-based study

Background: Tumour deposits are suggested to impact prognosis in colon cancer negatively. This study assessed the impact of tumour deposits on oncological outcomes.Methods: Data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry for patients who underwent R0 abdominal surgery for TNM stage I-III colon cancer between 2011 and 2014 with 5-year follow-up were analysed with multivariable analysis. Patients w

Types of Water Rights Systems in China: A Zoning Scheme Applied

This article analyzes the appropriate types of water rights systems for different regions with varying water resource conditions in China. The most appropriate water rights systems for various zones were determined by comparing the value of influencing factors with corresponding thresholds in China’s second-class zones of water resources. It is shown that a riparian rights system under water withd

Diet, Status, and incipient social Inequality : Stable isotope data from three complex Fisher-Hunter-Gatherer sites in southern California

How different were the lives of elites and commoners in early complex societies? This paper examines this question using data from three fisher-hunter-gatherer sites in southern California. Using shell bead counts from burials as proxies for social status and previously published human stable isotope values as indicators of dietary practices, we examine the relationship between diet and status acr

Massive intein content in Anaeramoeba reveals aspects of intein mobility in eukaryotes

Inteins are self-splicing protein elements found in viruses and all three domains of life. How the DNA encoding these selfish elements spreads within and between genomes is poorly understood, particularly in eukaryotes where inteins are scarce. Here, we show that the nuclear genomes of three strains of Anaeramoeba encode between 45 and 103 inteins, in stark contrast to four found in the most inte

Add-on pramipexole for anhedonic depression : study protocol for a randomised controlled trial and open-label follow-up in Lund, Sweden

INTRODUCTION: Many depressed patients do not achieve remission with available treatments. Anhedonia is a common residual symptom associated with treatment resistance as well as low function and quality of life. There are currently no specific and effective treatments for anhedonia. Some trials have shown that dopamine agonist pramipexole is efficacious for treating depression, but more data is nee

The Use of Professional Development to Enhance Education of Students with Autism : A Systematic Review

The study objective in this article was to present the state-of-the-art on teachers’ professional development to enhance educational quality for students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in primary and secondary education. A systematic review was conducted, following the PRISMA guidelines. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies were eligible for inclusion. Fifteen studies were id

Teachers’ relational competence : perceptions of teachers and students with and without ADHD and ASD

This study examined whether teachers’ professional development of their relational competence with students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) modifies teachers’ and students’ perceptions of their teacher-student relationships (TSR). Participants comprised teachers (n = 33) and students (n = 232) from two elementary schools: one intervention

Online tree expansion could help solve the problem of scalability in Bayesian phylogenetics

Bayesian phylogenetics is now facing a critical point. Over the last 20 years, Bayesian methods have reshaped phylogenetic inference and gained widespread popularity due to their high accuracy, the ability to quantify the uncer‑ tainty of inferences and the possibility of accommodating multiple aspects of evolutionary processes in the models that are used. Unfortunately, Bayesian methods are compu

Infectivity of exhaled SARS-CoV-2 aerosols is sufficient to transmit covid-19 within minutes

Exhaled SARS-CoV-2-containing aerosols contributed significantly to the rapid and vast spread of covid-19. However, quantitative experimental data on the infectivity of such aerosols is missing. Here, we quantified emission rates of infectious viruses in exhaled aerosol from individuals within their first days after symptom onset from covid-19. Six aerosol samples from three individuals were cultu

Contortatallens liv i Sverige ur ett kulturellt perspektiv

Sedan 1920-talet har det funnits planer på att använda contortatall i svenskt skogsbruk men först kring 1970omsattes de till storskaliga planteringar i norra Sverige.Sedan 1970-talet har contortatallen debatterats och knutits till olika sammanhang och skilda värderingsregimer.Återkommande har forskare samt företrädare för skogsnäringen och olika miljörörelser försökt att avgränsacontortans betydel

Null-Space Compliance Variation for Safe Human-Robot Collaboration in Redundant Manipulators using Safety Control Barrier Functions

In this paper, Safety Control Barrier Functions (SCBFs) were used to adjust the null-space compliant behavior of a redundant robot to improve safety in Human–Robot Collaboration (HRC) without modifying the robot behavior with respect to its main Cartesian task. A Lyapunov function was included in an energy storage formulation compatible with strict passivity to provide global asymptotic stability

The High–Low Arctic boundary : How is it determined and where is it located?

Geobotanical subdivision of landcover is a baseline for many studies. The High–Low Arctic boundary is considered to be of fundamental natural importance. The wide application of different delimitation schemes in various ecological studies and climatic scenarios raises the following questions: (i) What are the common criteria to define the High and Low Arctic? (ii) Could human impact significantly

The role of loudness in vocal intimidation

Across many species, a major function of vocal communication is to convey formidability, with low voice frequencies traditionally considered the main vehicle for projecting large size and aggression. Vocal loudness is often ignored, yet it might explain some puzzling exceptions to this frequency code. Here we demonstrate, through acoustic analyses of over 3,000 human vocalizations and four percept

Photoelectron Signatures of Nonperturbative Dynamics in Resonant Two-photon Ionization of Helium

When an atom is driven by a laser field with a photon energy that is nearly resonant with an atomic transition, it can undergo periodic population transfers between the ground and excited state, known as Rabi oscillations [1,2]. The aim of this work is to study photoionization from atoms for parameters accessible to a free-electron laser (FEL) [3]. Using time dependent perturbation theory to model
