Förföräldrar, det vill säga far- och morföräldrar, spelar en allt viktigare roll som omsorgspersoner i sina barnbarns liv även i välfärdsstater som Sverige (Bordone et al., 2023; Zanasi et al., 2023). Samtidigt innebär ökande separationer och ombildningar av parrelationer både bland föräldrar och bland förföräldrar att allt fler befinner sig i bonusrelationer (Guzzo, 2016; Lowenstein, 2005). BonusGrandparents play an increasingly significant role as caregivers in their grandchildren's lives, even in welfare states like Sweden (Bordone et al., 2023; Zanasi et al., 2023). Concurrently, the rise in separations and reconstitutions of partnerships, both among parents and grandparents, has led to an increase in step-relationships (Guzzo, 2016; Lowenstein, 2005). Step-grandparenting and step-gran

Substantial evidence supports that Fc-mediated effector functions of anti-spike Abs contribute to anti-SARS-Cov-2 protection. We have previously shown that two non-neutralizing but opsonic mAbs targeting the receptor-binding domain and N-terminal domain (NTD), Ab81 and Ab94, respectively, are protective against lethal Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 infection in K18-hACE2 mice. In this article, we investigated w

Recent studies show an important role for non-neutralizing anti-spike antibodies, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), in robustly protecting against SARS-CoV-2 infection. These mAbs use Fc-mediated functions such as complement activation, phagocytosis, and cellular cytotoxicity. There is an untapped potential for using non-neutralizing mAbs in durable antibody treatments; because of their avai

Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies and in particular their galactic centres is one of the most intriguing questions in modern astrophysics. Many spiral galaxies like the Milky Way feature a nuclear stellar disc (NSD) in their centre. The Milky Way's NSD is, together with the nuclear star cluster and the central super massive black hole, one of the main inner components and best

The year 2022 marked the 10th anniversary of the course Critical Animal Studies: Animals in Society, Culture and the Media at the Department of Communication and Media at Lund University. As the first initiative of its kind in Sweden, the course explores the shifting roles and positions of non-human animals in today’s complex societies. It aims to equip students with analytical tools to critically

Small-scale tourism enterprises are central actors in the rural labour market as facilitators of job opportunities, sustained business relationships, collaborations, and the development of resilient work relationships. These enterprises navigate in a market characterised by social and economic complexity where work is performed by a diverse workforce. The relational work performed in such enterpri

This study reports on the effects of conformationally controlled amphiphilicity of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) on their ability to coat TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and boost the photocatalytic antimicrobial effects of such NPs. For this, TiO2 NPs were combined with AMP EFK17 (EFKRIVQRIKDFLRNLV), displaying a disordered conformation in aqueous solution but helix formation on interaction with bacteri

General Aim: To investigate novel diagnostic tools and treatment options for cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction (CVAD) patients, focusing on syncope, orthostatic intolerance, and heart failure (HF).Background: CVAD includes common clinical entities such as vasovagal syncope (VVS) postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and orthostatic hypotension (OH). Also, CVAD plays an important role

This study aims to gain qualitative insights about and compare public responses to COVID-19 crisis management during the different pandemic phases and across three countries—Norway, Sweden and Italy. To do so, we have carried out a qualitative content analysis of a selection of 2606 tweets containing the term ‘face mask’ in Italian, Norwegian, and Swedish published between March 1, 2020 and June 3

Bladder cancer is a heterogenous disease, and molecular subtyping is a promising method to capture this variability. Currently, the immune compartment in relation to subtypes is poorly characterized. Here, we analyzed the immune compartment in bladder tumors and normal bladder urothelium with a focus on T cell subpopulations using flow cytometry and RNA sequencing. The results were investigated in

Despite a strong emphasis that individual support services should be provided according to needs, the Swedish welfare system often use age to organize support. A change in the Social Service Act in 2018 allows municipalities to provide home care for people above a decided age without individual any assessment of needs. Political parties and pensioners’ organizations’ have proposed for the introduc

Istället för att kräva sin rätt har äldre förståelse för personalens stressiga situation och accepterar att inte få sina behov tillgodosedda, skriver Håkan Jönson, Tove Harnett och Glenn Möllergren, forskare vid Socialhögskolan i Lund.Företrädare för Kristdemokraterna i Malmö, Lars Hector, Anna Reimer och Henrik Reimer, kritiserar den så kallade minutstyrningen inom hemtjänsten i staden och förkla

BackgroundThe goal of the Fifth Annual Baylor College of Medicine & DNAnexus Structural Variation Hackathon was to push forward the research on structural variants (SVs) by rapidly developing and deploying open-source software. The event took place in-person and virtually in August 2023, when 49 scientists from 14 countries and 8 U.S. states collaboratively worked on projects to address critic
