Objective In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), disease activity and glucocorticoid (GC) exposure are known to contribute to irreversible organ damage. We aimed to examine the association between GC exposure and organ damage occurrence. Methods We conducted a literature search (PubMed (Medline), Embase and Cochrane January 1966-October 2021). We identified original longitudinal observational stud
Differentiation of the digestive tube and formation of the gut unit as a whole, are regulated by environmental factors through epigenetic modifications which enhance cellular plasticity. The critical period of DNA imprinting lasts from conception until approximately the 1,000th day of human life. During pregnancy, besides agents that may directly promote epigenetic programming (e.g., folate, zinc,
This article aims to investigate how articulations of women’s relation to the welfare state and modes of political agency has changed in Sweden between 1977 and 2017; a period characterized by the introduction and implementation of a neoliberal political rationality. By way of discourse analysis, the article highlights the reciprocal relationship between the construction of the welfare state and w
Large intelligent surfaces (LIS) have the potential to be the beyond-massive-MIMO solution, even further improving spectral efficiency, coverage, reliability and other performance measures. They also open up for entirely new services, such as precise localization, environment sensing, and wireless energy transfer. By constructing larger surfaces as a grid of panels, we can activate and deactivate
Let NDTIME(f(n),g(n)) denote the class of problems solvable in O(g(n)) time by a multi-tape Turing machine using an f(n)-bit non-deterministic oracle, and let DTIME(g(n)) = NDTIME(0, g(n)). We show that if the all-pairs shortest paths problem (APSP) for directed graphs with N vertices and integer edge weights within a super-exponential range { -2Nk+o(1),.,2Nk+o(1)}, k≥1 does not admit a truly subc
Blau syndrome (BS) is a rare granulomatous disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. It is characterized by a triad of dermatitis, arthritis, and recurrent uveitis. This case presents the onset of panuveitis in BS after intraocular surgery. A 10-year-old boy presented to the outpatient clinic with retinal detachment in the left eye after 6 years following early-onset cataract surgery. Bilateral
Epilepsy is a family of heterogeneous and multifactorial neurological disorders, unified by the occurrence of spontaneous recurrent seizures. Overall, it affects 50 million people worldwide of all ages and genders. Available treatments are only symptomatic and have severe side effects, while they also fail to provide adequate seizure control in a third of the patients. Therefore, a cure is yet to
Within the humanitarian arena and since the introduction of the humanitarian reform process in 2005, the cluster approach was introduced to strengthen the cooperation and accountability between agencies working in the same field. Such an integrated approach is particularly needed and relevant in emergencies like cholera, especially in countries undergoing internal conflicts like Yemen. Several are
Purpose – Universal design (UD) is defined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and adopted in Sweden as a guiding principle for the design of new products, facilities, services, etc. This study aims to contribute to knowledge about UD in practice – how it is conceived,experienced and discussed in Sweden, especially regarding education, working life
Spatiotemporal analysis of long-term changes in air temperature is of prime importance for climate change research and the development of effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. Although there is considerable research on air temperature change across the globe, most of it has been on linear trends and time series analysis of nonlinear trends has not received enough attention. Here, we anal
Although fossils are relatively common in some sedimentary deposits, the majority consists of fragmented or distorted skeletal hard parts (such as shell and bones). However, in rare cases, special burial and diagenetic conditions have allowed a greater portion of the original anatomy to be incorporated into the fossil record. This exceptional type of preservation is characterised by the retention
Marine sediments of the lowermost Eocene Stolleklint Clay and Fur Formation of north-western Denmark have yielded abundant well-preserved insects. However, despite a long history of research, in-depth information pertaining to preservational modes and taphonomic pathways of these exceptional animal fossils remains scarce. In this paper, we use a combination of scanning electron microscopy coupled
While historical and contemporary thinkers have described politics as theater, this article moves beyond this representation of politics to understand how performance was central to politics around the turn of the twentieth century. It does so through an analysis of a large volume of hitherto unstudied caricatures of the German statesman Bernhard von Bülow. While historians usually describe satire
A non-von Neumann Near-Memory Computing architecture, optimized for CNN inference in edge computing, is integrated in the cache memory sub-system of a microcontroller unit. The NMC co-processor is evaluated using an 8-bit fixed-point quantized CNN model, and achieves an accuracy of 98% on the MNIST dataset. A full inference of the CNN model executed on the NMC processor, demonstrates an improvemen
Policymakers increasingly emphasize knowledge collaboration between academia and society as important means to generate innovations and solve complex issues. However, while recent literature on such collaboration suggests that knowledge needs to be integrated and generated across disciplines and sectors, there are surprisingly few studies that define what is meant by ‘knowledge’ or focus on the pr
AbstractPenile cancer and its precursor, penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN), are rare malignancies. Data on risk factors, incidence, and treatment of PeIN is scarce. The prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) varies substantially between studies of penile cancer.The aims of this thesis were to explore the incidence, risk factors and treatment of PeIN; to analyse the prevalence of HPV and sk
