Blood Group O Does Not Increase the Risk of Inhibitors in Severe Haemophilia A : Data from the PedNet Study Group

INTRODUCTION: Inhibitor development against factor VIII (FVIII) is the most common complication of hemophilia A replacement therapy. One of the variables considered to influence inhibitor development is the ABO blood group. Patients with blood group O have, on average, a 30%-40% lower endogenous von Willebrand factor (VWF) concentration. It has been postulated that VWF levels influence inhibitor d

Escaping adversity through preschool attendance in early twentieth century Sweden

This paper studies if attendance to one of the first types of formal childcare establishments in early twentieth century Sweden helped children escape adverse socioeconomic circumstances in the short and long term. It uses individual longitudinal data from a middle-sized Swedish industrial town, linked to individual data on attendance to the local pre-school (for children in ages 2-7), and follows

Associations of Atopic Dermatitis in Late Adolescence with Occupation, Mental Health, Income from Work, and Marital Status : A National Longitudinal Study

The main aim of this study was to evaluate longitudinal associations between atopic dermatitis (AD) in late adolescence and occupational socioeconomic group, labour market participation, income from work, and marital status later in adult life. Using Swedish population-based registry data a total of 205,394 men were included, born between 1952 and 1956 in Sweden and who underwent military conscrip

Service Logic – the Key to Strategic Listening : Introducing the Framework of Strategic Listening for Value Creation

Listening is often ignored and not understood as an organizational strategic resource. In this conceptual article, we explain why listening is downplayed by combining the two research fields Service Management and Strategic Communication. We propose that organizations embrace service logic as a perspective of managing organizations. Service logic has a stakeholder-centric approach to value creatio

Technological competencies and firm performance : analyzing the importance of internal and external competencies

In this paper, we analyze the relationship between technological competencies (TC) and firm performance. Theoretically, the importance of TC is well established and widely accepted. Therefore, it is surprising that a number of empirical studies have been unable to confirm a substantial positive relationship between TC and firm performance. We identify two major reasons for this: [i] affected by th

The role of innovation intermediaries in innovation systems

The paper investigates the role of innovation intermediaries in sector-specific regional innovation systems. Innovation is viewed as a non-linear, iterative process and open process involving multiple actors from different parts of the innovation system. The paper studies in particular innovation intermediaries that provide support to firms in the regional innovation system through the fulfillment

Towards understanding inter-organizational data sharing practices and technical tools needs

Background: Data quickly emerges as a core driver of businesses across the worlddue to rapidly expanding use in different areas, such as Machine Learning. In orderfor the data-related organizational operations to be efficient, the topic of data shar-ing has to be explored. This thesis focuses on understanding inter-organizationaldata sharing by exploring practices and challenges that are present w

Challenging Diabetes in Rural Areas : Aspects of Nutrition

Diabetes is an escalating health concern affecting approximately 152.6 million people globally in rural areas, with a significant rise in low- and middle-income countries where over 75% of affected adults live. These populations face unique challenges, including delayed diagnosis, limited access to specialized care, and economic hardships, leading to severe complications such as cardiovascular dis

USP7 controls NGN3 stability and pancreatic endocrine lineage development

Understanding the factors and mechanisms involved in beta-cell development will guide therapeutic efforts to generate fully functional beta cells for diabetes. Neurogenin 3 (NGN3) is the key transcription factor that marks endocrine progenitors and drives beta-cell differentiation. Here we screen for binding partners of NGN3 and identify the deubiquitylating enzyme USP7 as a key regulator of NGN3

Shrinking and financial development in Kenya and Tanzania, 1960-2020

The failure of many countries in the Global South to catch up economically to the advanced economies of the Global North has long been a topic of interest to economic historians and development economists. Traditionally, researchers focused their attention on the question of growth –how can a country achieve growth to catch up? In recent years, however, a new research programme has begun to shift

Public's Acceptance of (or Resistance to) Climate Policies Crucially Depends on Perceptions of Fairness

Perceived fairness is a central determinant of acceptance or resistance toclimate policies. Resistance to climate policies is shaped by structural factors,including socio-economic conditions and cultural identities. But policy designaspects that are sensitive to perceptions of fairness can increase the public’sacceptance of the measures proposed. Overcoming resistance requires anunderstanding of t

Energy communities – lessons learnt, challenges, and policy recommendations

Energy communities (ECs) are considered important in transitioning the energy system. They are of particular interest due to their potential to empower citizens and support a more just energy transition. However, experiences from ECs remain limited and vary across countries, thus raising questions on potential future advancements. In this article, we explore experiences from ECs in several Europea
