The COVID-19 pandemic has led to enhanced hygiene procedures and use of personal protective equipment, but also to increased attention to occupational skin disease in healthcare workers. The occurrence of hand and facial skin disease in > 5,000 Swedish healthcare workers was investigated in a questionnaire survey. Levels of skin exposure related to hygiene procedures and personal protective equipm

BACKGROUND: Contact allergy to oxidized (ox.) linalool and ox. limonene has been reported to have a high prevalence, raising the question of inclusion into the baseline series. However, several important issues should be clarified and further investigated before inclusion can be warranted.OBJECTIVES: To report the trends of ox. terpenes allergy in patients with dermatitis, features of the patch te

Time to blood culture positivity (TTP) is an indirect measure of bacterial concentration in blood. A short TTP has been linked to the presence of infective endocarditis (IE) and to poor prognosis in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. We analyze factors influencing TTP in bacteremia with Enterococcus faecalis. This retrospective observational study of medical records included adults diagnosed with m

AimHirschsprung's disease is a congenital disorder requiring surgery. Most children operated on for Hirschsprung's disease experience postoperative bowel dysmotility. Although various food is known to influence bowel motility, evidence of diet's role and dietary guidelines in treatment of bowel dysfunction in Hirschsprung's disease is lacking. The aim was to explore parental experiences of dietary

We utilize laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for measuring mixture composition and temperature in flames. Spectroscopy of the plasma emission yields concentration information, while temperature is derived from the breakdown threshold pulse energy.

Antibody binding to cell surface proteins plays a crucial role in immunity, and the location of an epitope can altogether determine the immunological outcome of a host-target interaction. Techniques available today for epitope identification are costly, time-consuming, and unsuited for high-throughput analysis. Fast and efficient screening of epitope location can be useful for the development of t

Blog post on the Agenda 2030 Graduate School blog. In September 2021, the Food Systems Summit is taking place as part of the Decade of Action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. All 17 SDGs rely to some degree on healthier, more sustainable, and equitable food systems. Hopefully the interlinkages of food, land use change and healthy diets will target significant outcomes t

Shuker points to some inconsistencies in my terminology about consequence laws in evolutionary biology, specifically that gene flow and recombination are not as easily classified as one gets the impression of after reading Sober (1984). I agree, and I also emphasize that evolutionary biology should not only focus on consequence laws, but also source laws arising from the ecological selective envir

Pollinators play a crucial role in ecosystems globally, ensuring the seed production of most flowering plants. They are threatened by global changes and knowledge of their distribution at the national and continental levels is needed to implement efficient conservation actions, but this knowledge is still fragmented and/or difficult to access. As a step forward, we provide an updated list of aroun

In seasonally variable environments, phenotypic plasticity in phenology may be critical for adaptation to fluctuating environmental conditions. Using an 18-generation longitudinal dataset from natural damselfly populations, we show that phenology has strongly advanced. Individual fitness data suggest this is likely an adaptive response towards a temperature-dependent optimum. A laboratory experime

AimOur aim is to provide a-priori information on air-quality implications of potential future energy carriers in transportation relevant for sustainability, life cycle and health-impact assessments.MethodologyInformation on air- and climate-pollutant formation from energy carriers is collected in detailed laboratory assessments on heavy-duty combustion engines as well as on non-tailpipe emissions.

Behandling av personuppgifter, vilket undersöks i denna uppsats, sker i den offentliga och privata sektorn, och i organisationer av alla storlekar. Personuppgiftsbehandlingar förekommer i varje gren av en organisation och hos alla olika aktörer, inom så spridda områden som rättsväsendet eller en frisörsalong. Mer specifikt syftar denna uppsats till att studera definitionen av "behandling"Personal data processing, as will be examined in this thesis, occurs in the public and the private sectors, in organisations of every size. It occurs in every branch of an organisation and by all different actors, be it law-enforcement or a hairdresser saloon. More specifically this thesis aims to study the definition of ‘processing’ and attempts to highlight the features and characterisation of i

Changes in environmental temperature during development can affect growth, metabolism and temperature tolerance of the offspring. We know little about whether such changes remain to adulthood, which is important to understand the links between climate change, development and fitness. We investigated whether phenotypic consequences of the thermal environment in early life remained in adulthood in t

Ämnet konstnärlig forskning inom musik syftar till att studera komplexiteten i den samtida konstnärliga produktionen och praktiken. Styrkan i detta program ligger i den experimentella inställningen till hur konstskapande och forskning påverkar varandra. Vidare studeras hur tekniska verktyg kan få epistemisk status och påverka det semantiska underlaget för den kreativa produktionen. Sådan dialektik

Kajsa Brolin forskar om hur våra gener och vår miljö påverkar risken att utveckla Parkinsons sjukdom. Den 27 mars lägger hon fram sin avhandling som till stor del baseras på MultiParks egen biobank som innehåller prover från över 1000 skånska parkinsonpatienter. Här berättar hon om en nyligen upptäckt genetisk riskfaktor som verkar finnas specifikt i Skåne. Och skyddar verkligen kaffe mot Parkinso

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Minst 20 procent fler flyktingar i arbete efter tre månader. Det är prognosen efter att ett datorprogram börjat användas för att matcha flyktingar till nya hemorter i USA. Programmet är skapat av tre ledande universitet, i samarbete med en amerikansk frivilligorganisation. Nu hoppas professor Tommy Andersson, från E
