Aim: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common and significant complication after voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) but the reported incidence in children varies highly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the rate and possible risk factors for UTIs after VCUG. Method: A multicentre retrospective cohort study of children < 15 years of age undergoing VCUG between 2017 and 2022 w
Digital transformation of healthcare has largely been conceptualised throughadoption-centric lenses, relying on “barriers and facilitators” frameworks thatfocus primarily on individual technology adoption or organisational factors.Yet transformation in practice depends on sustained coordination amongmultiple autonomous actors who must align their actions across organisational,professional, and tec
Universities have long used internationalization to prepare students for a highly interconnected world. Although internationalization has often been associated with mobility, current calls for equity, diversity, and inclusion, and climate consciousness, among other things, require institutions to change this strategy. As a response, curriculum internationalization emerges as a more inclusive and s
Background and purpose — Computed tomography (CT) has become a valuable tool for preoperative planning and perioperative, real-time navigation during total hip arthroplasty (THA). CT can also quantify postoperative implant migration without the need for implanted bone markers, making it a promising alternative to the current gold standard radiostereometric analysis (RSA). Our aim was to evaluate t
Downfolding Methods in Many-Electron Theory is a comprehensive description of the last 30 years of study in this field, starting from LDA+U to LDA+DMFT and arriving at the recent work on multitier self-consistent GW+EDMFT. It focuses on different levels of first-principles electronic structure theories for strongly correlated electrons and outlines the downfolding method as a general approach-prov
We present a method to calculate neutron scattering cross sections for deformed nuclei using many-body wave functions described with multiple reference states. Nuclear states are calculated with the generator coordinate method using a low energy effective Hamiltonian. Using these states, a nonlocal and energy dependent optical potential is consistently constructed, allowing one to directly investi
Silk fibres derive their exceptional properties from hierarchical protein organisation, yet the molecular pathways that guide this structural transformation remain poorly resolved. During regenerated silk fibroin gelation under biomimetic gradual acidification, we identify a stepwise assembly pathway comprising nanoscale clustering, domain growth within clusters, and mesoscale network formation. T
Microalgae emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can profoundly impact climate by leading to new particle formation and influencing clouds. Among these VOCs, dimethyl-sulphide (DMS) is of particular interest due to its key role in atmospheric processes. Despite its importance, many detailed processes linking microalgae and sea-atmosphere interactions remain poorly understood. We investigated
This introductory essay explains the motivation behind this collection and provides summaries of the individual contributions to this volume. Bernard Williams is often regarded as a merely negative or critical philosopher, with no distinctive philosophical approach of his own. This perspective ignores Williams’s efforts to make positive contributions to several areas in ethics and metaethics, incl
This chapter provides an overview of the different optical sectioning methods that enable performing three dimensional (3D) imaging of possibly complex samples. It discusses their benefits and limitations regarding their penetration depth, their imaging speed, their photo-toxic effect or their complexity. Focusing on fluorescence imaging, the chapter dives into approaches that make it possible to
Deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of hypusination, a unique post-translational modification of eukaryotic translation factor 5 A (eIF5A). While DHS activity plays a critical role in both normal cellular processes and disease development, the lack of specific molecular tools has hindered detailed studies of this enzyme and the hypusination pathway in general. Existing in
Rewetting is widely promoted as a climate mitigation strategy to preserve soil carbon in drained wetlands, although rewetting may enhance methane production and corresponding emissions. The increase in methane emissions following rewetting might be underestimated without considering near-surface methane oxidation under a fluctuating water table. Here, we refined the methane module in Lund-Potsdam-
Articles pose a particular challenge to second-language learners whose first language does not have them. Variability in article production in these learners is often explained in terms of first-language influence, but there are also suggestions that frequency-biased regularities in the target language itself might play a role. While most second-language research on articles has focused on English
Barns rätt till lek, vila och fritid är en utvärdering av Malmö stadsESF projekt med samma namn, genomförd ur ett barnrättsochsalutogent perspektiv. Genom intervjuer, fokusgrupper,observationer och dokumentanalys undersöker rapportenhur projektet har bidragit till social gemenskap, tillgång tillmeningsfulla fritidsaktiviteter och förbättrat välmående för barn isocioekonomiskt utsatta områden.Studi
BackgroundSurgical services were poorly prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to widescale disruption to elective activity. This study aimed to identify actionable priorities to strengthen pandemic preparedness of surgical and hospital systems.MethodsThis study pooled data from three international, prospective cohort studies including patients who had a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result in the
I varje designprojekt bör man tänka på miljöaspekten av det man gör och just detta projekt fokuserar på textilier i förhållande till de möbler de fästs vid. Att fästa tyg är en extra svår utmaning när det kommer till möbeldesign. Ofta används lim, spik eller häftstift, vilket skadar både tyg och den underliggande träkonstruktionen. Genom analoga prototypmetoder utforskar detta projekt alternativa Every design project should consider sustainability, and this one focuses on textiles in relation to furniture. A particularly difficult problem with furniture design is textile attachment. The dressing of a piece of furniture or a seat is usually done using glue and nails, which are invasive both on the fabric and the wood. Through analogue prototyping, this project explores alternative ways to d
Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) play a crucial role in modern wireless communica- tion systems. However, they can achieve high performance only when their internal registers are dynamically and precisely configured. To maintain reliable control while operating in complex multi-antenna environments, several interface techniques have been developed, among which the Serial Peripheral Inte
This thesis examines the secondary exchange of transferable service access on Xianyu, a Chinese C2C platform increasingly used not only for second-hand goods but also for service-related deals among consumers. These include practices such as restaurant proxy ordering, discount-mediated ordering, alternative booking routes, and membership-based privileges. The study explores how participants find,
