OBJECTIVE: To investigate pain course over time and to identify baseline and 3-month predictors of unacceptable pain with or without low inflammation in early RA.METHODS: A cohort of 275 patients with early RA, recruited in 2012-2016, was investigated and followed for 2 years. Pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS; 0-100 mm). Unacceptable pain was defined as VAS pain >40, and low in

The building sector is responsible for more than 40% of the energy use and 32% of carbon dioxide emissions in the European Union (EU). Previous research has shown that the present rate of energy retrofit and refurbishment in Europe is far below (< 50%) than that is required to meet the EU’s building related energy efficiency goals for 2020.Appropriate policy interventions for deep renovation is pe

This paper examines the views of construction SMEs in Sweden regarding innovations, in particular the one-stop-shop business concept, and its adoption for renovation of detached house. The investigation is based on interviews with 10 construction SMEs and by applying a conceptual framework for organisational innovation adoption. The results suggest that, even though the one-stop-shop business conc

Understanding how lifestyles should and could change to meet the terms of the Paris Agreement is the aim of the project ‘EU 1.5° Lifestyles’. It focuses on lifestyle options compatible with a 1.5°C target and explores the structural barriers and enablers to implementing these. Many of these lifestyle options relate to circular strategies such as sharing, reusing and repairing products.However, eve

Based on an online questionnaire survey, this paper analyses the attitude of homeowners in Kronoberg, Sweden towards energy renovation and one-stop shop (OSS) services for the deep renovation of detached houses. Personal and contextual variables have been analysed to know who have renovation plan, what motivates them to renovate and if there is an interest in OSS concept. Results have shown that a

Low dimensional perovskite-inspired materials with self-tapped exciton (STE) emission have stimulated a surge of cutting-edge research in optoelectronics. Despite numerous efforts on developing versatile low-dimensional perovskite-inspired materials with efficient STE emissions, there is little emphasis on the intrinsic dynamics of STE-based broad emission in these materials. Here, we investigated

DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) are easily tunable emitters with intriguing photophysical properties. Here, a DNA-AgNC with dual emission in the red and near-infrared (NIR) regions is presented. Mass spectrometry data showed that two DNA strands stabilize 18 silver atoms with a nanocluster charge of 12+. Besides determining the composition and charge of DNA2[Ag18]12+, steady-state a

Low dimensional lead-free metal halides have become the spotlight of the research on developing multifunctional optoelectronic materials as their properties show a wide range of tunability. However, most reported low dimensional metal halides only function in the ultra-violet to visible range due to their large bandgap. Moreover, the organic cation based low dimensional metal halides show limited

Joint action, generally defined as working together towards a common purpose, has become an important concept in many areas of cognitive science, from philosophical appraisal of its core concepts to empirical mapping of its psychological development. Within mainstream cognitive accounts, to engage in a joint action requires an inferential process of representing the other’s intentions and plans to

Debattörerna: Vanliga svenskar måste få bli mer delaktigaDEBATT. Den gångna sommaren har präglats av torka, rekordtemperaturer och översvämningar på många håll i världen.Att bromsa klimatförändringarna blir en alltmer akut politisk uppgift, men de beslut som krävs för att minska utsläppen fattas inte. Förra året ökade till och med de svenska utsläppen av växthusgaser med fyra procent .

Abstract in ItalianIl presente studio ha indagato le pratiche linguistiche familiari di madri moldave emi-grate in Italia, con un figlio in età prescolare, attraverso un’intervista semi-strutturata. Ad oggi pochi studi hanno considerato le scelte linguistiche in relazione alle pratiche educative e agli aspetti identitari in questa popolazione. L’analisi tematica svolta sulle interviste condotte adThe present study investigates family-related language practices of Moldovan mothers emigrated to Italy, through a semi-structured interview. To date, few studies have considered linguistic choices in relation to educational practices and identity aspects in this population. Ten Moldovan woman have been interviewed. Results from a thematic analysis on the collected interviews has highlighted a com

In the 1930s the colonial authorities in Zimbabwe set aside geographical areas where Africans were allowed to purchase land. Despite having private property rights to land, a rare occurrence among Africans in colonial times, the performance of this group of farmers has rarely been investigated. In this article, we show that the average group of ‘native purchase’ farming households performed far be

En studie av relationer mellan revisor och revisionskommittéer och hur dessa påverkar makt och status mellan de båda gruppernaThis chapter investigates the construction of status in the relationship between the auditor and the audit committee. Such a study is merited considering that regulation as a driver of corporate governance has been designed towards a regulatory concern with lax audit practice, where the audit committee was presented as a solution. This is, however, a problem not manifested in the Swedish context.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas is a cystic tumor with a disease spectrum ranging from low-grade dysplasia to invasive carcinoma. The evidence for adjuvant treatment in invasive IPMN is limited and mostly derived from studies in conventional pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We performed a systematic review focusing on all clinical studies concerning the effic

OBJECTIVES: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common worldwide disease. The burden of multimorbidity, that is, two or more chronic diseases, has increased. Whether multimorbidity is associated with VTE risk remains to be studied. Our aim was to determine any association between multimorbidity and VTE and any possible shared familial susceptibility.DESIGN: A nationwide extended cross-sectional hypo

BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding in the public sphere is known to be experienced as a problem for many women. It has been shown to arouse negative feelings among the public, depending on the attitude of those in the immediate surroundings. This contributes to the fact that many women hesitate to breastfeed in public and prepare themselves for potential adverse comments.METHODS: An online survey was used

AIM: The LUCAS™ device has been shown to improve organ perfusion during cardiac arrest in experimental studies. In this pilot study the aim was to compare short-term survival between cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed with mechanical chest compressions using the LUCAS™ device and CPR performed with manual chest compressions. The intention was to use the results for power calculation in
