This article investigates the reception of Swedish broadside songs dealing with wonders and accidents from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Focusing on rhetorical strategies, the study suggests that these broadside ballads were designed to function as the basis for Lutheran meditation. The wonders and accidents are interpreted as the divine words of God, and the shocking images are used t

Artikelförfattaren gör en kronologisk genomgång av järtecken och historiska händelser med anknytning till Estland och Livland i kyrkoherden Joen Klints handskrivna Järteckenbok (bevarad i Linköpings Stiftsbibliotek). Klints anteckningar relateras till samtida idéhorisont (särskilt till Balthasar Russows livländska krönika, vilken tjänat som källa till en stor del av Klints anteckningar) och den mo

Despite significant interest in regional industrial restructuring in economic geography, surprisingly, scarce attention has been paid to the changing role of agency over time. The current paper develops a framework for understanding the role of multiple types of actors and the agency they exercise for regional industrial path development. The framework is employed in a longitudinal study of indust

The Gram-positive anaerobic commensal Finegoldia magna colonizes the skin and other non-sterile body surfaces, and is an important opportunistic pathogen. Here we analyzed the effect of F. magna on human primary neutrophils. F. magna strains ALB8 (expressing protein FAF), 312 (expressing protein L) and 505 (naturally lacking both protein FAF and L) as well as their associated proteins activate neu

Previous research has suggested that personality and cognitive functions are essential in the emergence of persistent aggressive antisocial behaviors and that character maturity could be an important protective factor against these behaviors. The aims of this study were (1) to determine associations between personality traits, intellectual ability, and executive function in young male violent offe

An asymptomatic Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is often closed at the age of 3–5 years using a transcatheter or surgical technique. Symptomatic ASD or ASD associated with pulmonary hypertension (PHT) may require earlier closure, particularly in combination with other non-cardiac risk factors for PHT, but the indications for early closure and the potential risk for complications are largely unknown. Th

Purpose Distal radius fracture often compromises working ability, but clinical implications are less studied in men due to its lower incidence. This study therefore describes sick leave in men with distal radius fracture, specifically exploring the impact of patient- and fracture-related factors. Methods Professionally active men aged 20–65 with distal radius fracture were followed prospectively f

OBJECTIVES: Sport-related concussions are an increasingly recognized health problem. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world although recent studies on concussion incidence are scarce. Here, a nation-wide prospective study on concussion incidence, symptom severity, risk factors, gender differences and return-to-play after concussion was performed in 51 Swedish elite soccer teams during the 2

Om den engelske 1600-talsläkaren och essäisten Thomas Browne och hans Urn Burial.

Preoperative imatinib is used frequently in the treatment of large localized GISTs to shrink the tumor prior to surgery. This approach may lead to challenges in the estimation of the risk of recurrence and the need of adjuvant imatinib, because the diagnosis is usually made from a needle biopsy with scant tissue for the assessment of GIST mitotic activity, a key prognostic factor. We propose a mit

Background: Genetic factors are important in determining breast density, and heritable factors account for 60% of the variation. Certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with density and risk of breast cancer but the association with prognosis is not clear. Purpose: To investigate associations between selected SNPs and breast cancer survival in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study

INTRODUCTION: Genetic screening using high-throughput DNA sequencing has become a tool in diagnosing patients with suspected inherited bleeding disorders (IBD). However, its usefulness and diagnostic efficacy in children is unclear.AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of genetic screening for IBD in children and downstream further testing.METHODS: After informed consent, children (
