OBJECTIVE: To identify and genetically characterize subgroups of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) based on sex and ANCA subtype.METHODS: A previously established SNP dataset derived from DNA sequencing of 1853 genes and genotyping of 1088 Scandinavian cases with AAV and 1589 controls was stratified for sex and ANCA subtype and analysed for ass
OBJECTIVES: To elucidate antibody responses after the second and third dose of COVID-19 vaccine in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) treated with biologic/targeted disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b/ts DMARDs).METHODS: Antibody levels to antigens representing spike full length protein and spike S1 were measured before vaccination, 2-12 weeks after the second dose, before a
This session is an inquiry into the manifold meanings of tradition as a parameter of creativity in music making. Earlier this autumn, the two traditional music trios Jidder and Hialøsa spent a day together playing music and discussing how they understand and approach tradition in relation to their music. Both ensembles perform folk music from the region of Scania, Sweden. Although they share a mus
This presentation draws upon an ongoing research project that explores learning of Swedish folk music across six learning areas. These areas span from what is generally considered formal arenas to informal ones:(A) Music academy (performers programme), (B) Folk high school (full time course), (C) Folk high school (distance course), (D) Fiddlers’ group (spelmanslag), (E) Professional musicians, (F)
This presentation gives an overview of the results from the first part of an ongoing postdoc project in music education. This project aims to explore the role of artistic expression in the teachings at upper secondary school music program from the perspective of music teachers. The study focuses on two courses in which the concept artistic expression appears in the syllabus: Instrument and song 1-
My research is concerned with the co-optation of sustainability, feminism, and social justice within and by the fast fashion industry in Sweden. This stems from a desire to understand the acceleration of sustainability discourse and narratives built by brands (through communication, advertisement, marketing, and sustainability reporting) and how this shapes consumption. I argue that the dominating

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Injured pericytes in the neurovascular unit release platelet-derived growth factor β (PDGFRβ) into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, it is not clear how pericyte injury contributes to Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related changes and blood brain barrier (BBB) damage. We aimed to test if CSF PDGFRβ was associated with different AD- and age-associated pathological changes
We performed 2 surveys during 2022 to estimate point prevalences of SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with overall viral seroprevalence in Sweden. Point prevalence was 1.4% in March and 1.5% in September. Estimated seroprevalence was >80%, including among unvaccinated children. Continued SARS-CoV-2 surveillance is necessary for detecting emerging, possibly more pathogenic variants.
Acquired cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) dysfunctions have been associated with several conditions, including myocardial infarction (MI). Here, CFTR is downregulated in brain, heart, and lung tissue and associates with inflammation and degenerative processes. Therapeutically increasing CFTR expression attenuates these effects. Whether potentiating CFTR function yields similar benefi
Detta är en bearbetad version på nederländska av min tidigare på svenska utgivna biografi om den engelske kungen Henrik VIII.De Zweedse hoogleraar Dick Harrison vertelt het kleurrijke levensverhaal van Hendrik VIII (1491-1547). Hendrik werd, na de dood van zijn vader, de tweede Tudor-koning van Engeland. Hij leidde een roemrucht bestaan. Hij had zes echtgenotes, van wie hij er twee liet onthoofden. Hij scheidde, voor eigen gewin, de Anglicaanse kerk af van de Kerk van Rome, en hij verenigde Engeland en Wales wettelijk i
Continuous evaluation of model results against observational data isvital to improving model projections of the structure and function offorest ecosystems. In this poster, we evaluate the forest management module of LPJ-GUESS (ver. 4. 1.2, rev 11016) across a latitudinal gradient in Sweden. The poster was presented at the LPJ-GUESS Community Meeting in Lund, May 3rd, 2023.
Denna avhandling belyser välbefinnandeprocesser utifrån två olika angreppssätt: 1)dels teoretiska beskrivningar av personligt växande, där personligt växandedefinieras som den gradvisa processen av förändring i välbefinnande, 2) delsempiriska undersökningar av välbefinnande och mental hälsa med fokus på eleversmentala hälsoprofiler och självuppfattning. Sammanlagt ingår fem studier iavhandlingen, This thesis follows two main lines of inquiry into well-being processes: 1) atheoretical exploration of personal growth, defined as the gradual growth of wellbeing, and 2) an empirical exploration of students’ mental health profiles and sense of self. Altogether five studies are included in the thesis, two of which follow thefirst line of inquiry (articles I and II) and three of which follow the s
Context: DevOps has recently become a mainstream solution for bridging the gaps between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) enabling cross-functional collaboration. The DevOps concept of continuous monitoring may bring a lot of benefits to development teams such as early detection of run-time errors and various performance anomalies. Objective: We aim to explore deep learning (DL) solutions for
