Purpose of ReviewThis review aims to summarize the evolution and recent developments in the classification of ANCA associated vasculitis (AAV) and to summarize evaluations of the 2022 ACR/EULAR classification criteria of AAV in several cohorts.Recent FindingsThe classification of AAV has been a field of controversy for some time. The parallel existence of classification criteria and disease defini
Limiting the global production of primary plastics is necessary to curb greenhouse gas emissions as well as the environmental and health impacts ofplastic pollution.A cap on primary plastic production is possible and has precedent in environmental and climate change law. One approach for implementing such a cap is through a cap-and-trade system, which involves the distribution of production allowa
Compact in-memory computing architectures are desirable to embed artificial intelligence (AI) in resource-restricted edge devices. However, current technologies face limitations in both the area and energy efficiency. Here, a reconfigurable ferroelectric tunnel field-effect transistor (ferro-TFET) is presented that can be used as an ultra-scaled cell for low-power in-memory data processing. A gate
Today many homes are accessible from afar, with mobile phones functioning as remote controls for technologies within the home. In this article we propose the ‘leaky home’ as a conceptual figure to understand how automated homes that leak through connected devices and sensors that collect, transmit, receive and share data are experienced and sensed by bodies within these distributed spaces. The lea
Thomas Mathiesen has been a source of inspiration for research in critical sociology, criminology, and the sociology of law for many decades. Mathiesen’s impact extends far beyond the academic realm, as his action research lives on. This intervention discusses the ongoing influence of Mathiesen’s action research approach, which integrates research, education, and societal impact. This is illustrat
Purpose – This paper aims to extend insights about the relationship between inter-organizational collaboration and approaches to control from the perspective of decision-makers. We investigate the relationship between approaches to control and intended forms of integration between actors responsible for solving the complex problem of integrated person-centered care for elderly with diverse and sig
Förföräldrar, det vill säga far- och morföräldrar, spelar en allt viktigare roll som omsorgspersoner i sina barnbarns liv även i välfärdsstater som Sverige (Bordone et al., 2023; Zanasi et al., 2023). Samtidigt innebär ökande separationer och ombildningar av parrelationer både bland föräldrar och bland förföräldrar att allt fler befinner sig i bonusrelationer (Guzzo, 2016; Lowenstein, 2005). BonusGrandparents play an increasingly significant role as caregivers in their grandchildren's lives, even in welfare states like Sweden (Bordone et al., 2023; Zanasi et al., 2023). Concurrently, the rise in separations and reconstitutions of partnerships, both among parents and grandparents, has led to an increase in step-relationships (Guzzo, 2016; Lowenstein, 2005). Step-grandparenting and step-gran
Substantial evidence supports that Fc-mediated effector functions of anti-spike Abs contribute to anti-SARS-Cov-2 protection. We have previously shown that two non-neutralizing but opsonic mAbs targeting the receptor-binding domain and N-terminal domain (NTD), Ab81 and Ab94, respectively, are protective against lethal Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 infection in K18-hACE2 mice. In this article, we investigated w
Recent studies show an important role for non-neutralizing anti-spike antibodies, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), in robustly protecting against SARS-CoV-2 infection. These mAbs use Fc-mediated functions such as complement activation, phagocytosis, and cellular cytotoxicity. There is an untapped potential for using non-neutralizing mAbs in durable antibody treatments; because of their avai

Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies and in particular their galactic centres is one of the most intriguing questions in modern astrophysics. Many spiral galaxies like the Milky Way feature a nuclear stellar disc (NSD) in their centre. The Milky Way's NSD is, together with the nuclear star cluster and the central super massive black hole, one of the main inner components and best
The year 2022 marked the 10th anniversary of the course Critical Animal Studies: Animals in Society, Culture and the Media at the Department of Communication and Media at Lund University. As the first initiative of its kind in Sweden, the course explores the shifting roles and positions of non-human animals in today’s complex societies. It aims to equip students with analytical tools to critically
Small-scale tourism enterprises are central actors in the rural labour market as facilitators of job opportunities, sustained business relationships, collaborations, and the development of resilient work relationships. These enterprises navigate in a market characterised by social and economic complexity where work is performed by a diverse workforce. The relational work performed in such enterpri
This study reports on the effects of conformationally controlled amphiphilicity of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) on their ability to coat TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and boost the photocatalytic antimicrobial effects of such NPs. For this, TiO2 NPs were combined with AMP EFK17 (EFKRIVQRIKDFLRNLV), displaying a disordered conformation in aqueous solution but helix formation on interaction with bacteri
General Aim: To investigate novel diagnostic tools and treatment options for cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction (CVAD) patients, focusing on syncope, orthostatic intolerance, and heart failure (HF).Background: CVAD includes common clinical entities such as vasovagal syncope (VVS) postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and orthostatic hypotension (OH). Also, CVAD plays an important role
This study aims to gain qualitative insights about and compare public responses to COVID-19 crisis management during the different pandemic phases and across three countries—Norway, Sweden and Italy. To do so, we have carried out a qualitative content analysis of a selection of 2606 tweets containing the term ‘face mask’ in Italian, Norwegian, and Swedish published between March 1, 2020 and June 3
Climate change poses an existential threat to humanity. It is now indisputable that the primary cause of this threat is human activity resulting in high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which began during the Industrial Revolution and have continued to rapidly accelerate. The first warnings of impending and irreversible climate change were sounded decades ago, when governmental and intergovernmenta
Bladder cancer is a heterogenous disease, and molecular subtyping is a promising method to capture this variability. Currently, the immune compartment in relation to subtypes is poorly characterized. Here, we analyzed the immune compartment in bladder tumors and normal bladder urothelium with a focus on T cell subpopulations using flow cytometry and RNA sequencing. The results were investigated in
A finite group with a Beauville structure gives rise to a certain compact complex surface called a Beauville surface. Gül and Uria-Albizuri showed that quotients of the periodic Grigorchuk–Gupta–Sidki (GGS-)groups that act on the p-adic tree, for p an odd prime, admit Beauville structures. We extend their result by showing that quotients of infinite periodic GGS-groups acting on pn-adic trees, for
