The goal of this study is to identify the perspectives that development NGOs attribute to organisational social media, and furthermore elaborate on an appropriate categorisation of these perspectives for social media use by development NGOs. How social media is used in the area of development, where the use goes far beyond the private sector purpose of publicity and converting a sale, is a key iss

We present the use of a high capacity and high throughput acoustic trapping platform for phenotypic characterization and functional studies of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from pathogen activated platelets. Platelet rich plasma was stimulated with bacterial M1 protein isolated from S. Pyogenes, which is known to activate platelets. The subsequently released platelet EVs were isolated from 400 μL p

OBJECTIVE: To analyse survival rates and causes of death in adults with spina bifida in Sweden compared with a matched control group.DESIGN AND METHODS: This population-based study included 11,900 adults born between 1950 and 1997. Three national Swedish registers were used to identify individuals with a diagnosis of spina bifida and a matched control group without spina bifida in the period 1990-

Using the configuration constrained, cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model, we point to a mechanism that could explain why identical bands are much more likely to occur in superdeformed than in normal-deformed nuclei. The role of the high-N orbitals in the superdeformed configuration is stressed, and correlated with the observed peaks in the fractional change distribution of the script J sign(2) moment

The effects of deformed shell structure on the potential energies of the doubly even fp shell nuclei are determined by the macroscopic-microscopic method. The calculated potentials are incorporated in the Bohr Hamiltonian for collective quadrupole motion, and the resulting excitation spectra are compared with experimental data.

OBJECTIVE: Sex steroids exert important biological functions within the central nervous system (CNS), but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The contribution of circulating sex steroids to the levels in CNS tissue and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been sparsely investigated in human and with inconclusive results. This could partly be due to lack of sensitive validated assays. To addr

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is an ubiquitous tool of great interest in many fields of research from imaging to ultrafast spectroscopy [1]. In its most common implementation, an intense (≈ 1014 W/cm2) infrared (IR) pulse is focused on a noble gas target yielding a train of attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral region. By adopting proper strategies and target geometrie

Background/aim: Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium cause human infections including bacteraemia and infective endocarditis (IE). Only few studies describing non-faecalis and non-faecium Enterococcus (NFE) infections have been conducted. We aimed to describe the incidence, prognosis, and focus of infection of bacteraemia with NFE. Methods: This retrospective population-based study inclu

Combining highly efficient nanophotonic structures into artificial neural networks hold significant promise for superior hardware solutions [1]. Well-defined circuit architectures and concepts, with limited size and clear functionality are useful to develop and verify such novel concepts. Insects are capable of amazing autonomous feats well beyond current computers, such as navigating across hundr

The 2023 Yearbook of Socio-Economic Constitutions, dedicated to ‘Law and the Governance of Artificial Intelligence’, explores the timely and complex issues surrounding the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The volume delves into the transformative potential of AI in various sectors such as law enforcement, healthcare, and recruitment, while also highlighting the growing globa

The aim of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of a Swedish translation of the Sexual Orientation Microaggressions Scale (SOMS) in a convenience sample of 267 Swedish LGB+ people (Mean age = 36.41). Testing suggested some strengths in terms of factor structure and 2-week test-retest reliability (ICC > .79). Also, internal consistency (α = .80–.91) and convergent validity we

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a safe procedure. However, complications occur, including uncommon complications such as valve malposition, which requires the implantation of an additional rescue valve (rescue-AV). The aim was to study the occurrence and outcomes of rescue-AV in a nationwide registry. Methods: The Swedish national TAVI registry was used as the

Expectations and demands on coproduction in research have increased. Therefore, there is a need for knowledge on how these coproducing processes where researchers and practitioners work side by side during the research process can be carried out. In this article, methodological questions related to coproduction and collaboration between researchers and practitioners in the field of social work are

DEBATE. We researchers have long demanded that the government take climate research seriously and speed up the transition to a sustainable society.Instead, the government is pursuing a policy that deliberately increases emissions. Now more citizens need to raise their voices and show that we demand a knowledge-based climate transition, and it is urgent.

The digital transformation is rapidly changing in-store service settings. This paper explores how frontline employees experience and cope with technology-related challenges. Based on a qualitative approach and the use of observations and interviews, this research advances our understanding of how such coping is performed in retail stores and how it contributes to defining employees’ work experienc
