Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have an impaired response to vaccination, which calls for improved vaccination strategies. This study aimed to evaluate antibody persistence 5 years after pneumococcal vaccination and response to revaccination. Seventy-four CLL patients and 31 controls, all primary immunized with 13-valent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13) or 23-valent polysac

This thesis examines how parody and satire are used in contemporary Americananimated television series. Through critical textual analysis, five television shows are examined. These are Archer, BoJack Horseman, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Rick and Morty, and South Park. The study offers theoretical background and discussion on key concepts like parody, satire, comedy, animation, television

In an era where online interactions increasingly shape social dynamics, the pervasive issue of cyberbullying poses a significant threat to the well-being of individuals, particularly among vulnerable groups. Despite extensive research on text-based cyberbullying detection, the rise of visual content on social media platforms necessitates new approaches to address cyberbullying using images. This d

Vilken roll spelar beprövad erfarenhet i socialtjänstens beslutsfattande? I det här kapitlet undersöks hur socialsekreterare inom områdena barn och unga samt vuxna med beroendeproblematik använder och delar kunskap i en komplex vardag präglad av krav på rättssäkerhet, evidens och effektivitet. Genom fokusgruppsintervjuer synliggörs det kollegiala lärandets betydelse och hur erfarenhetsbaserad kuns

Background: Ex-vivo perfusion of donor hearts is gaining importance in minimizing ischemia-reperfusion injury during heart transplantation. The Non-Ischemic Heart Preservation (NIHP) device, developed in 2016, has shown promising results in pilot studies. This study aims to compare the mid-term follow-up outcomes of NIHP with traditional Static Cold Storage (SCS) in heart transplantation. Methods:

We study the first-order phase transitions and the emerging stochastic gravitational wave spectrum in a minimal leptoquark extension of the Standard Model that explains active neutrino oscillation data, while satisfying current flavor physics constraints. This model exhibits diverse phase transition patterns, including color symmetry-breaking scenarios in the early Universe. Strong correlations be

Large-scale genomic resources can place genetic variation into an ecologically informed context. To advance our understanding of the population genetics of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, we present an expanded release of the community-generated population genomics resource Drosophila Evolution over Space and Time (DEST 2.0; https://dest.bio/). This release includes 530 high-quality pooled

This article examines the fire and rescue services sector in Sweden in the period 1986–2021, and explains the timing of bureaucratic reforms using the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF). In this study, we insert institutions in MSF by employing a two-level analysis; we highlight the interactions among experts acting as policy entrepreneurs over time and during a large window of opportunity, and we s

Context. Globular clusters exhibit star-to-star chemical variations that are traceable through both photometric and spectroscopic data. While UV photometry and light-elements such as Na and O are commonly used for this purpose, the optical V versus (V-I) color magnitude diagram (CMD) is often assumed to be relatively unaffected by such inhomogeneities and is used to derive basic cluster parameters

We conceptualize a globally integrated circular economy through the notion of global circular networks (GCN) and identify the key mechanisms of circular (de-)coupling. We develop a novel conceptual framework by integrating concepts from literatures on global production networks (GPN) and the circular economy (CE). The framework combines four essential dimensions of these couplings - actors, resour

Let (Formula presented.) be a (Formula presented.) -adic analytic pro- (Formula presented.) group of dimension (Formula presented.), with lower (Formula presented.) -series (Formula presented.). We produce an approximate series which descends regularly in strata and whose terms deviate from (Formula presented.) in a uniformly bounded way. This brings to light a new set of rational invariants (Form

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with increased risk of complications after breast cancer surgery. This study investigated systemic and surgical-site postoperative complications and the risk of early and late breast cancer recurrence and mortality, overall, and according to T2D status. Methods: From the Danish Breast Cancer Group (DBCG) and Danish registries, a cohort of women with

Context. The young β Pictoris system has been monitored with high-resolution optical spectrographs for decades. These observations have revealed strongly variable stochastic absorption in the Ca II H&K lines attributed to infalling cometary bodies. Aims. Since 2003, over 9000 HARPS observations of β Pictoris have been taken, and many of these have not yet been used for exocomet studies. We aim

Fluorescence microscopy is an effective tool for imaging biological samples, yet captured images often contain noises, including photon shot noise and camera read noise. To analyze biological samples accurately, separating background pixels from signal pixels is crucial. This would ideally be guided by the knowledge of a parameter called the Poisson parameter, 𝜆bg, representing the mean number of

Importance: Prenatal intensive behavioral therapy (IBT) interventions that promote adequate gestational weight gain (GWG) have had variable and mostly modest effects on clinically relevant maternal and infant outcomes. It is unknown whether different maternal obesity metabolic phenotypes underlie the heterogeneity in response. Objective: To examine GWG, adverse perinatal outcomes, substrate change

This study examines the determinants of environmentally responsible behavior among tourists in the heritage villages of Paveh County, Iran, through an integrated theoretical framework that synthesizes place-related psychological constructs with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Employing structural equation modeling on data collected from 443 tourists across three heritage villages (July–Novem

This paper presents a reflexive, transdisciplinary reassessment of the Nabberör boat grave, dated to the 8th century CE, on the Baltic island of Öland. The osteological material and the grave goods are carefully re-examined and recontextualised using a multiproxy approach, including new archaeological, bioarchaeological, zooarchaeological, isotopic, and aDNA analyses. The results reveal a multiple

Background/Objectives: Intraoperative frozen biopsies are essential during surgery for Hirschsprung’s disease (HD). However, this method has several limitations with the need for a faster and real-time diagnostic alternative. For this, consistent histoanatomical and morphometric differences between aganglionic and ganglionic bowel must be established. The primary objective was to compare dimension
