Abstract published in relation to the Nordic COnference on Forensic Medicine.

Immune tolerance induction (ITI) to eradicate an immune response against factor VIII (FVIII) has been used in hemophilia A (HA) with various success rates, costs, and treatment burden. The present study aimed to identify markers predictive of ITI success. Data were accrued from 237 patients with severe HA (FVIII level < 1%), history of persistent FVIII inhibitors ≥ 1 BU/mL and having performed ITI

Based on self-determination theory and coping research, we argue that people employ different emotion-focused coping strategies to handle threatening information about climate change, which are differently associated with the satisfaction of psychological needs and have different consequences for climate action. To test the causal effects of two emotion-focused coping strategies, we conducted a pr

In this chapter, we explore the relationship between business ethics and faith. We suggest that faith in business ethics predominantly plays the role of the therapeu-tic: It soothes the real functioning of business with various idealized conceptions of it. Unfolding this argument, we begin the chapter by showing how business ethics is largely motivated by a now-shattered faith in the capitalist en

The present work aims to provide an in-situ inspection methodology for prestressed concrete bridges with post-tensioned cables (PT bridges). The adoption of non-destructive techniques (NDT), already widely employed in other engineering fields, is proposed, providing reliable information with a relatively low impact on the existing infrastructure. For each of the specific inspection topics (i.e. ca

We study the average-case hardness of establishing that a graph does not have a large clique in both proof and communication complexity. We show exponential lower bounds on the length of cutting planes and bounded-depth resolution over parities refutations of the binary encoding of clique formulas on randomly sampled dense graphs. Moreover, we show that the randomized communication complexity of f

For the experimental assessment of concrete material properties, estimating compressive strength is crucial for the calculation of structural safety and optimising testing campaigns. However, the optimal number of tests required to comply with a target reliability while balancing effort has rarely been analysed in the past. This work introduces an approach combining statistical modelling and uncer

Rapporten beskriver genomförandet av EPPO-förordningen i Sverige samt belyser vissa särskilda problem med tolkningen och tillämpningen av systemet med EPPO.

Songbirds rely on an endogenous programme encoding spatio-temporal information necessary for naive individuals to perform their first migration. Timing programmes are generated by endogenous clocks and include responses to external cues, with photoperiod being the most important. Photoperiod can advance or delay the circannual cycle and, while it is well established as a trigger for initiating mig

Most bird species are diurnal but drastically change their diel cycle of activity to migrate at night. Nocturnal migration has been documented using different methods (e.g., experiments, radar and radio tracking, and acoustic monitoring), but accurately quantifying the proportion of nocturnal versus diurnal flight at the individual and species levels, and understanding how this behavior evolved ac

Factors limiting fat cell expandability remain scarcely explored, and comprehensive functional comparisons of adipose depots in humans are limited. In the present study, we collected visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) paired-samples from 22 patients with obesity undergoing elective Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Whole tissue samples were used to determine adipoc

BACKGROUND: Recent advancements in single-cell transcriptomic analyses have greatly expanded our understanding of cellular diversity in adipose tissue, indicating transcriptionally distinct subpopulations of adipocytes. Here we sought to rigorously test such heterogeneity at the protein level.METHODS: A data-driven imaging platform was tailored to assess cellular protein levels based on immunofluo

In this perspective, we argue for a social, multi-affective, contextual approach to emotions in environmental communication, departing from an observation that the field has often considered emotions as tools for change. To complement instrumental approaches, we stress how environmental communication as a scholarly field can benefit from a situated and contextual approach to emotions, embracing a
