Quantitative mass spectrometry analysis of the injured proximal and distal human digital nerve ends

Introduction: Proteomic analysis of injured human peripheral nerves, particularly focusing on events occurring in the proximal and distal nerve ends, remains relatively underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the molecular patterns underlying a digital nerve injury, focusing on differences in protein expression between the proximal and distal nerve ends. Methods: A total of 26 human injured

A Smorgasbord of Print : The Development of Scholarly Publishing in the Swedish humanities, c. 1840–1880

This article traces publishing patterns in the Swedish humanities between 1840 and 1880; a period characterized by a new publishing regime yet bridging two dominant publication forms, the dissertation, and the disciplinary journal. Using the prominent historian Wilhelm Erik Svedelius as an entry point, the article charts how scholars in the humanities navigated the publishing landscape in a more d

Synthesis, Morphology, and Particle Size Control of Acidic Aqueous Polyurethane Dispersions

A range of charge-stabilized aqueous polyurethane (PU) dispersions comprising hard segments formed from hydrogenated methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (H12MDI) with dimethylolpropionic acid (DMPA) and ethylenediamine, and soft segments of poly(tetramethylene oxide) of different molecular weights are synthesized. Characterization of the dispersions by mass spectrometry, gel permeation chromatogr

The challenges of recruiting never-smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from the large population-based Swedish CArdiopulmonary bioImage study (SCAPIS) cohort

Background: A substantial proportion of individuals with COPD have never smoked, and it is implied to be more common than previously anticipated but poorly studied. Aim: To describe the process of recruitment of never-smokers with COPD from a population-based cohort (n = 30 154). Methods: We recruited never-smokers with COPD, aged 50–75 years, from six University Hospitals, based on: 1) post bronc

European energy renovation of multi-dwelling building from a Swedish life cycle perspective

The European Union has committed to achieving climate neutrality by the year 2050, with Sweden setting an even more ambitious target of reaching this milestone by 2045. A subgroup comprising 23 pioneering Swedish municipalities, collectively representing 40% of the country's population, aims to attain climate neutrality by 2030. Globally, buildings and construction sector contribute nearly 40% of

Processing the Geopolitics of Global Science: Emerging National-Level Advisory Structures

This paper analyses three governments’ institutional advisory mechanisms designed to shape and support universities and individual researchers’ decisions regarding international academic collaboration. Although ostensibly country-agnostic, increasing geopolitical tensions with China have catalyzed the creation of these new structures. Each mechanism seeks to address the complex trade-offs in inter

Lives ‘on hold’ in Europe : an explorative review of literature on youth aspirations and futures in situations of migration and mobility

This explorative literature review aims to examine the content and methodologies of recent empirical studies on the aspirations of youth in situations of migration in Europe. The search yielded 30 peer-reviewed social science publications in English for the period 2010–2022, including both intra-European migrants ages 10–24 and youth with backgrounds from outside Europe. Contextual analysis was us

Comparative structural analysis of the putative mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases of the ARTD/PARP family

The existence and significance of endogenous cytosolic and nuclear mono-ADP-ribosylation has been a matter of debate. Today, evidence suggests that the human enzymes that catalyze the reaction have been rounded up. Moreover, substrate proteins and specific functions for mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases are beginning to be defined. Reader domains that specifically recognize mono-ADP-ribosylated target

a choir for people with experience of being infertility treatment .LYTTEKOR is an artistic research project for individuals with experiences of fertility treatment. We work creatively with listening, voice, and body in a confidential and caring space.Our approach is based on vocal compositions inspired by Deep Listening (a method developed by Pauline Oliveros). Through listening, we open up to greater self-acceptance, understanding of our situation, and shared ex

Designing A Multi-modal IDE with Developers: An Exploratory Study on Next-generation Programming Tool Assistance

Researchers have envisioned and pioneered data-driven programming assistance for developers based on their interaction with the tools via multiple sensors such as eye trackers, microphones, and AI. However, these new sensors gather sensitive data from programmers, to what extent users can accept them and in what form they may work well are largely unclear. Meanwhile, developer tools such as static

Infant urinary tract infection in Sweden — A national study of current diagnostic procedures, imaging and treatment

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) in infants is a common, potentially life-threatening bacterial infection, and must be managed carefully through the entire chain of care from diagnosis, choice of treatment, follow-up and risk stratification of future complications. This Swedish nationwide study of infant UTI was conducted to evaluate the current management of infant UTI, yield of investig

Early B-Cell Factor 1 : An Archetype for a Lineage-Restricted Transcription Factor Linking Development to Disease

The development of highly specialized blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow (BM) is dependent upon a stringently orchestrated network of stage- and lineage-restricted transcription factors (TFs). Thus, the same stem cell can give rise to various types of differentiated blood cells. One of the key regulators of B-lymphocyte development is early B-cell factor 1 (EBF1).

Put a bet on it : Can self-funded commitment contracts curb fitness procrastination?

We investigate the use of a highly scalable intervention to help individuals achieve their physical activity goals: self-funded commitment contracts. Using a randomised experiment, we compare the effect of soft (non-incentivised) and hard (incentivised) contracts among 1629 members of a gym in Stockholm, Sweden. We find a significant positive impact of being offered a hard contract on monthly visi

Increased cooperation in stochastic social dilemmas : Can it be explained by risk sharing?

A potential mechanism to explain changes in cooperativeness in the presence of risk may be opportunities for informal risk sharing. Using a novel experimental design, we show that the presence of both independent and correlated risk prevents the typical decay of cooperation in a laboratory social dilemma game. Notably, this result seems to rule out risk sharing as a possible mechanism behind the c

Current frequency of contact allergy to isothiazolinones (methyl-, benz- and octylisothiazolinone) across Europe

Background: The use of methylisothiazolinone (MI) as a preservative in cosmetic products caused an alarming increase in MI contact allergy across Europe in the 2010s. This was followed by regulations of use with a total ban on leave-on (implemented in 2017) and reduced use concentrations in rinse-off cosmetics (2018). Objective: To follow-up on the prevalence of contact allergy to MI and the relat

More dads at home, more girls in maths-intensive studies? Evidence from a parental leave reform

Evidence suggests that separate spheres gender norms discourage girls from maths. We therefore examine a policy that counteracts such norms among parents, and investigate whether it increases girls' participation in maths-intensive studies. Specifically, we examine a parental leave reform that reserved one month of leave for fathers, and estimate its effect on children's study choices. We find tha

Is there any job for me? Qualitative exploration of support needs among young Swedish adults with psychosis envisioning productive activities

BACKGROUND: Unemployment is high not only among people with mental illness, but also among young adults in general. The combination of having a severe mental illness and being young entails a particularly problematic situation for young people with psychosis. This study aimed to understand how this group envision their future possibilities for entering the labour market or engaging in other produc

Horismenus saturnus n. sp. (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) a New Parasitoid Wasp from Eggs of Saturniidae (Lepidoptera) from the Atlantic Forest, Minas Gerais, Brazil

A new species of Horismenus Walker, H. saturnus Schoeninger & Hansson (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), is described from material reared from eggs of an unidentified species of Saturniidae (Lepidoptera). The new species is compared to H. cupreus (Ashmead, 1894), a species it is very similar to, and to H. ancillus (Brèthes), a species with the same type of host as H. saturnus. A total of 30 adult spe
