IMPORTANCE: The outcomes of newborn infants of women testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate neonatal outcomes in relation to maternal SARS-CoV-2 test positivity in pregnancy.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Nationwide, prospective cohort study based on linkage of the Swedish Pregnancy Register, the Neonatal Quality Register, and the Register for Communicab

Most of the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) is considered a region of very low hepatitis A virus (HAV) endemicity; however, geographical differences exist. We did a systematic review with the aim of describing seroprevalence and susceptibility in the general population or special groups in the EU and EEA. We searched databases and public health national institutes websites for

Introduction: In low- and middle-income countries such as India, private pharmacies play an important role in medical treatments, offering advice for common illnesses such as diarrhea and respiratory tract infections. There is a need to explore the details of the dispensing practices at the private pharmacies in low- and middle-income countries.Methodology: The present study used simulated client

A number of anti-Chinese incidents in Indonesian demonstrated a complex relationship between the Chinese Indonesian,Indonesian state and local societies. While Aceh Chinese are considered as members of the Chinese Indonesian minority,the local politics of Aceh have profound impacts on the Aceh Chinese status and its social and political circumstance. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the

Measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 have been associated with reduction in other respiratory infections. Results of a national Swedish cohort study of infant pertussis during April 2020–September 2021 were compared with those during January 2014–March 2020. The number of pertussis cases decreased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, from an average of 21 infant cases per quarter of a

ObjectiveTo assess associations of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and pregnancy outcomes considering testing policy and test-positivity-to-delivery interval.DesignNationwide cohort study.SettingSweden.PopulationFrom the Pregnancy-Register we identified 88 593 singleton births, 11 March 2020–31 January 2021, linked to data on SARS-CoV-2-positivity from the Pu

In a mineral concentrator, ore is milled and later separated into concentrate and tailing by a process called flotation. When a milling line abruptly stops, a significant inflow disturbance to the downstream flotation series is often observed. To avoid de-tuning the flotation level controller to handle the worst case scenario, we introduce a feed-forward model predictive controller (MPC) that cons

Aceh is a unique region of Indonesia. In addition to being the site of a nearly three-decade-long conflict between GAM (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka) and the Indonesian state, it is also a special autonomous territory where sharia law is enforced. This political climate has cast a shadow over the province’s multicultural reality, relegating ethnoreligious minorities to a subservient position and restricti

At Lund University and Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, we have, as the first clinic, modified a clinical Elekta Precise linear accelerator for convertible delivery of ultrahigh dose rate (FLASH) irradiation. Whereas recently published reviews highlighted the need for standardised protocols for ultra-high dose rate beam dosimetry to be able to determine the true potential of FLASH irradi

Highly anisotropic cellulose nanofibrils can solidify liquid water, creating self-supporting structures by incorporating a tiny number of fibrils. These fibrillar hydrogels can contain as much as 99.99 wt% water. The structure and mechanical properties of fibrillar networks have so far not been completely understood, nor how they solidify the bulk water at such low particle concentrations. In this

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is used to demonstrate the presence of density fluctuations in ambient water on a physical length-scale of ≈1 nm; this is retained with decreasing temperature while the magnitude is enhanced. In contrast, the magnitude of fluctuations in a normal liquid, such as CCl 4, exhibits no enhancement with decreasing temperature, as is also the case for water from molecu

We consider linear mappings on the 2-dimensional torus, defined by T ( x ) = A x ( mod 1 ) , where A is an invertible 2 × 2 integer matrix, with no eigenvalues on the unit circle. In the case det A = ± 1 , we give a formula for the Hausdorff dimension of the set { x ∈ T 2 : d ( T n ( x ) , x ) < e − α n for infinitely many n } .

The Events Research Programme (ERP) was a multi-disciplinary study undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic to investigate SARS-CoV-2 transmission risks and mitigations around the reopening of mass events in the UK in 2021 – including a behavioural study, exploring how non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), such as social distancing, pre-event virus testing, and the use of face coverings might en

In 1689 the Danish royal antiquary Thomas Bartholin the Younger (1659–1690) published a celebrated antiquarian work on the attitudes, customs, and rituals of the pagan inhabitants of Scandinavia. It has been deemed significant both for influencing the development of the historical conception of the ‘Viking Age’ in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and for introducing a rigorous source-criti

Den här avhandlingen analyserar en korpus av publicerade personliga brev från första halvan av 1900-talet skrivna av manliga författare från Marocko och Tunisien. Studiens övergripande syfte är att undersöka och identifiera de publicerade brevens litterära egenskaper (genius) och estetiska autonomi (egenvärde) med hjälp av en narratologisk och stilistisk metod som fokuserar påintertextualitet och This dissertation deals with a corpus of published private letters from the first half of the 20th century written by male writers from Morocco and Tunisia. The overall purpose of the study is to investigate and identify the literary properties (literary genius) of the published letters and their aesthetic autonomy using a stylistic and narratological method that focuses on intertextuality and the

The case presents Aboke-pesa, a local complementary currency in a poor rural area of Western Kenya.The reader gets an insight into the economic context of rural areas in the Global South, the work of introducing digital community currencies through farmers’ cooperatives, one of the most common designs of these currencies (mutual credit systems or LETS) as well as the particular challenges digital

Allergic contact dermatitis is reported among individuals using continuous glucose monitoring systems and insulin pumps. The aim of this study was to describe contact allergy patterns for allergens in the Swedish baseline series and medical device-related allergens among users. Contact allergy to baseline series allergens and isobornyl acrylate was compared between diabetes patients and dermatitis

Hemolysis is a cardinal feature of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and during hemolysis excess arginase 1 is released from erythrocytes. Increased arginase activity leads to reduced arginine, as it is converted to urea and ornithine, and thereby reduced nitric oxide bioavailability, with secondary vascular injury. In this study we investigated arginase release in HUS patients and laboratory models
