Introduction: A detailed understanding of respiratory support patterns in preterm infants is lacking. The aim was to explore and visualize this practice in Sweden. Methods: Preterm infants with gestational ages of 22-31 weeks, admitted to neonatal units reporting daily to the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register and discharged alive in November 2015-April 2022, were included in this descriptive cohor

Bragg diffracted intensities and q values for crystalline structures with long repeat distances may be obtained by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) investigations. An account is given of the methods, advantages and disadvantages of obtaining such data by the multichromatic time-of-flight method, compared with the more traditional quasi-monochromatic SANS method. This is illustrated with data

Automotive interior components are produced by injection moulding due to its cost effectiveness in mass production. The surfaces of these components are textured to control the appearance and other surface functional properties such as wear and scratch resistance. Key challenges lie in replicating the features of mould tool with high aspect ratio which are influenced by the polymer and large numbe

This paper investigates the impact of public policies aimed to foster entrepreneurship on the national entrepreneurial culture of a country. While most of the existing studies focus on the direct impact of policies on entrepreneurship outcomes, we propose that the impact of policies on entrepreneurial culture may be even more important for the development of economies in the long term. Using data

Over the past two decades, intensive research efforts have been devoted to suppressions of Auger recombination in metal-chalcogenide and perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) for the application of photovoltaics and light emitting devices (LEDs). Here, we have explored dodecahedron cesium lead bromide perovskite nanocrystals (DNCs), which show slower Auger recombination time compared to hexahedron nanocr

Capacity development (CapDev) support through various Swedish public agencies (SPA) to their sister authorities in low- and middle-income countries has been a salient feature of Sweden’s institutional development cooperation since the1980s. Despite constituting a small percentage of Swedish aid, the scale and scope of SPAs engagement in CapDev work abroad deserves more attention than currently bei

The surface reactivity during CO oxidation over Pd(1 1 1) and Pd75%Ag25%(1 1 1) single crystals has been investigated using near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) under excess oxygen conditions (p ≈ 2 mbar, O2:CO=10). The (√6×√6) Pd5O4 surface oxide is present on Pd(1 1 1) when the surface is highly active under the applied conditions. The CO2 formation profile follows a

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been widely applied for simulating the water cycle and quantifying the influence of climate change and anthropogenic activities on hydrological processes. A major uncertainty of SWAT stems from the poor representation of vegetation dynamics due to the use of a simplistic vegetation growth and development module. Using long-term remote sensing-bas

This article is a response to Bill Gardner and Kelly McCauley’s ‘gaslighting’ critique of our text on the perils of authentic leadership. Against gaslighting 1.0 (evilly trying to convince people to doubt their perceptions), we propose gaslighting 2.0 (enlightenment). We argue that organizations face severe problems and challenges that cannot be solved by motivating managers to engage in introspec

The development of this paper was inspired by the increase in the number of different eco-label like quality assurance sche established in the European Union in the past few years. These schemes are flooding the market and the researchers raise question, is there enough credibility in these schemes? This piece of research is based on 58 eco-labeling like food schemes dissects them into the buildin

Database gathering the archaeological and epigraphic materials relating to the cults of Mater Magna and Attis in Hispania

A hybrid strategy for the identification of material parameters of constitutive models is presented. One main challenge in the context of classic optimisation-based parameter identification schemes is the generation of adequate starting values for the multi-objective optimisation procedure. We address this issue by employing an artificial neural network that is trained with data obtained from the

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is caused by insufficient insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. To identify candidates contributing to T2D pathophysiology, we studied human pancreatic islets from ~300 individuals. We found 395 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in islets from individuals with T2D, including, to our knowledge, novel (OPRD1, PAX5, TET1) and previously identified (CHL1, GLRA1, IAPP) ca

Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the assessment fidelity of Språkfyran, a language screening instrument for four-year-old children. Språkfyran is a mandatory part of the healthcare program within the Swedish Child Health Service (CHS) and is offered to all four-year-olds in the region Scania in Sweden. Methods: The study was based on structured observations of twenty-four specialist CHS nu

Paleoklimatologi – läran om hur klimatet utvecklats genom jordens historia – ger oss referensramar för att sätta dagens klimat och möjliga framtida klimatförändringar i ett historiskt perspektiv. Till exempel visar nya analyser av historiska klimatarkiv att för norra halvklotet var perioden 1983-2012 sannolikt den varmaste på 1400 år. Vi ser även att vid den senaste värmeperioden, för 125 000 år s

Accidentally introduced parasitoids can provide biological control of the invasive pest they followed but could also pose a threat to native species if they are not specialists. Attack of native species could reduce the effectiveness of adventive natural enemies if it is accompanied by reduced fitness, and it may increase acceptance of non-target species. We tested how intermittent host shift and

Background: The Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR) are developed to promote public health and to prevent food-related diseases such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Objective: To investigate the nutrient intake and adherence to the NNR in a Swedish cohort with abdominal obesity. Design: Dietary intake data were collected using 3-day food diaries and anthropometry and clinical chemistry

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases leads to short-pulse extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation that is useful in a number of applications, such as attosecond science and nanoscale imaging. However, this process depends on many parameters, and there is still no consensus on how to choose the target geometry to optimize the source efficiency. We review the physics of HHG with emphasis on the

Introduction: Understanding symptom patterns in atrial fibrillation (AF) can help in disease management. We report on the application of natural language processing (NLP) to electronic medical records (EMRs) to capture symptom reports in patients with newly diagnosed (incident) AF. Methods and Results: This observational retrospective study included adult patients with an index diagnosis of incide
