Creating temporal and spatial connections through and with co-costumed entanglements

This Critical Costume exhibition presentation derives from the twelve-hour costume-based ‘performative-walk’ Community Walk (2020). The frame for Community Walk was a bright yellow costume that physically connected two wearers. In Community Walk I, the researcher and costume designer, placed myself ‘in the centre’ of the co-wearing entanglements. For twelve hours I co-wore the costume in the centr

Depth-Resolved X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Evidence of Intrinsic Polar States in HfO2-Based Ferroelectrics

The discovery of ferroelectricity in nanoscale hafnia-based oxide films has spurred interest in understanding their emergent properties. Investigation focuses on the size-dependent polarization behavior, which is sensitive to content and movement of oxygen vacancies. Though polarization switching and electrochemical reactions is shown to co-occur, their relationship remains unclear. This study emp

Lipids and apolipoproteins and the risk of vascular disease and mortality outcomes in women and men with type 2 diabetes in the ADVANCE study

Aim: Whether apolipoproteins (apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A1 [ApoB/ApoA1] ratio) or very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol are better risk predictors than established lipid risk markers, and whether there are sex differences, is uncertain, both in general populations and in patients with diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess the association

Microbiome Geographic Population Structure (mGPS) Detects Fine-Scale Geography

Over the past decade, sequencing data generated by large microbiome projects showed that taxa exhibit patchy geographical distribution, raising questions about the geospatial dynamics that shape natural microbiomes and the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes. Answering these questions requires distinguishing between local and nonlocal microorganisms and identifying the source sites for the la

Functional variant rs9344 at 11q13.3 regulates CCND1 expression in multiple myeloma with t(11;14)

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell (PC) malignancy characterized by cytogenetic abnormalities, such as t(11;14)(q13;q32), resulting in CCND1 overexpression. The rs9344 G allele within CCND1 is the most significant susceptibility allele for t(11;14). Sequencing data from 2 independent cohorts, CoMMpass (n = 698) and Mayo Clinic (n = 661), confirm the positive association between the G allele an

Disparity in the detection of chromosome 15 centromere in patients of African ancestry with a plasma cell neoplasm

Purpose: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is the current gold standard assay that provides information related to risk stratification and therapeutic selection for individuals with plasma cell neoplasms. The differential hybridization of FISH probe sets in association with individuals’ genetic ancestry has not been previously reported. Methods: This retrospective study included 1224 bone

Effects of wheelchair skills training during peer-led Active Rehabilitation Camps for people with spinal cord injury in Poland : a cohort study

Study design: Prospective cohort study. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of wheelchair skills training (WSTR) for participants with spinal cord injury (SCI) during peer-led Active Rehabilitation Camps (ARC) in Poland. We hypothesized that participation in ARC will improve wheelchair skill performance and self-efficacy in individuals with SCI. We also aimed to determine demographic and injury-re

The transition from children to young people living with home mechanical ventilation

Purpose: This study aimed to examine how young people living with Home Mechanical Ventilation experience the transition from childhood to young adulthood in relation to everyday life, perceived health and transition into adult professional healthcare. Methods: Nine young adults (three females and six males aged 18–31) were interviewed, and data was primary analysed using phenomenological hermeneut

Protocol for a Longitudinal Cohort Study to Understand Characteristics and Risk Factors Underlying Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography-Diagnosed Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease Children

Background: Metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a novel term proposed in 2023 to replace non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with the aim of better reflecting its pathogenesis and clinical manifestations. Vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is an evidence-based, non-invasive imaging device used to evaluate liver fat deposition and fibrosis. It can effective

Enhanced Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Performance with New Amphoteric Ion Exchange Membranes

Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) depend on the separator membrane for their efficiency and cycle life. Herein, two amphoteric ion exchange membranes are synthesized, based on sulfonic acid group-grafted poly(p-terphenyl piperidinium), for VRFBs. Using ether-free poly(p-terphenyl piperidine) (PTP) as the polymer matrix, and sodium 2-bromoethanesulphonate (ES) and 1,4-butane sultone (BS) as gra

Oncological outcome following Hartmann's procedure compared with anterior resection and abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer—The type of procedure does not influence local recurrence or distant metastasis : A population-based study

Aim: The type of surgical procedure used in rectal cancer treatment may affect cancer recurrence. The aim of this study was to determine whether the type of procedure influences oncological outcomes in rectal cancer surgery. Method: We gathered data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry regarding patients with TNM Stage I–III rectal cancer who underwent R0/R1 surgery from 2013 to 2017. The o

Urgency to action : Enabling circular futures for the building sector

The world is suffering from increasing weather extremes caused by climate change of which the building sector is a major contributor. There is however a large reduction potential in the sector and circular economy has received increased attention both within research and practice. This study explores circular futures within the building sector through the futures studies method of backcasting. Two

Fire Safety Disparities in Sweden : Sociodemographic Influences and the Impact of Societal Protection on Personal Fire Prevention Measures

Previous research has identified sociodemographic inequalities in fire prevention measures. This study examined whether sociodemographic differences persist in the Swedish population concerning fire prevention measures and particularly whether there remains an inverted u-curve related to age in protection habits. Additionally, it investigated whether fire protection practices are influenced by the

Societal costs and quality of life associated with arginase 1 deficiency in a European setting–a multinational, cross-sectional survey

Background and aims: Arginase 1 deficiency (ARG1-D) is a ultrarare disease with manifestations that cause mobility and cognitive impairment that progress over time and may lead to early mortality. Diseases such as ARG1-D have a major impact also outside of the health care sector and the aim of this study was to estimate the current burden of disease associated with ARG1-D from a societal perspecti

3D micro-CT and O-PTIR spectroscopy bring new understanding of the influence of filler content in dental resin composites

Background: Dental resin composites' performance is intricately linked to their polymerisation shrinkage characteristics. This study compares polymerisation shrinkage using advanced 3D micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and traditional 2D linear assessments. It delves into the crucial role of filler content on shrinkage and the degree of conversion in dental resin composites, providing valuable

Touching through Music, Touching through Words : The performance and performativity of pianistic touch in musical and literary settings

This article investigates the versatile embodiment of touch in the sensory-aesthetic construction of piano performance. The sensorial interactions enmeshed in piano playing distribute a peculiar interaction between touch and sound, which can be comprehended as two kinds of pianistic touch–the physical touch and the affective touch. In the synthesis, or symbiosis, of these two kinds of touch, piano

DI DEBATT: AI kräver rätt balans mellan teknik och människa

AI-kommissionen föreslår 75 steg för att Sverige ska stärkas genom AI. Många av förslagen är välriktade, inte minst på utbildnings- och forskningsområdet. Det krävs tunga AI-investeringar framöver, men de får inte bara rikta in sig på teknik skriver bland annat Virginia Dignum, Professor Responsible Artificial Intelligence Umeå Universitet, Jonas Ivarsson, professor i informatik vid Göteborgs univ
