One of the reasons to subsidise public transport is to improve the mobility of low-income groups by providing affordable public transport; however, the literature describes a situation whereby those with a low income are unable to afford the cheapest tickets per trip, i.e. travelcards, as they usually require a considerable up-front cost. In this study, we use a large dataset from the Swedish Nati
This article captures trends in international taxation in the fight against "tax base erosion", a side effect of trade liberalism in the EU.
Pulse wave velocity is an established marker of early vascular aging but may also help identifying individuals with supernormal vascular aging. We tested the hypothesis that individuals with the largest difference (Δ-age) between chronological and vascular age show the lowest rate of cardiovascular events and may thus be defined as supernormal vascular aging. Vascular age was defined as the predic
Objective: This study aims to characterize the molecular signatures of sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs). Methods: Three SCTs were analyzed with whole genome genotyping. RNA sequencing of 10 SCTs dominated by mature, immature and neuroglial elements was analyzed. Expression in SCT-samples with different elements were compared to each other and to a reference group of malignant pediatric tumors. Macr
Purpose: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is increasingly used in adolescents. The aim was to explore symptoms of depression and anxiety in young adults over 5 years’ follow-up after undergoing MBS. Methods: Beck Depression Inventory-2 and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were used to assess symptoms of depression and anxiety in 62 patients 1, 2, and 5 years after having Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at
Nanowire (NW) arrays containing a top segment of GaxIn1–xP are investigated, comparing NWs grown using two different Ga precursors, trimethylgallium (TMGa) and triethylgallium (TEGa). TMGa is the precursor commonly used for the particle-assisted vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth of GaxIn1–xP NWs. However, it shows inefficient pyrolysis at typical NW growth conditions. The use of the alternative prec
The structure and dynamics of proteins in solution are closely related to their activity and, ultimately, to their performance in products and technologies, for example, drug formulations and enzymatic catalysis. With this in mind, the study of the fundamental behavior of proteins in deep eutectic solvents not only provides insight into a novel alternative to aqueous and molecular organic solvents
Long charge carrier diffusion length and large grain size are commonly believed to be inherent properties of highly luminescent polycrystalline thin-film semiconductors. However, exactly these two properties make luminescence very susceptible to quenching by just one strongly quenching defect state if present in each grain. Moreover, when the number of quenchers per grain is small (say 1–10), it v
Background: The Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration ® (EASI) is a performance-based assessment tool, aiming to assess sensory perception, sensory reactivity, postural/ocular/bilateral integration, and praxis in children aged 3–12 years. These types of tests are currently not available in Swedish. A structured, multistep process of translation is crucial for maintaining equivalence between the
Pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension are rare conditions that require complex interventions by multidisciplinary teams. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/the European Respiratory Society (ERS) 2015 guidelines included recommendations for pulmonary hypertension (PH) referral centers including minimum number of patients, staff, facilities, and netw
I tider av kris och börsoro kan det vara lämpligt att kasta en blick över axeln. Den stora börskraschen 1929 är en av alla tiders mest spektakulära ekonomiska händelser. I Sverige reagerade framför allt tre nationalekonomer på händelserna på Wall Street före, under och efter kraschen. Gustav Cassel och Bertil Ohlin såg euforin och paniken på börsen som fenomen åtskilda från den övriga ekonomin. De
Purpose: To explore work related and personal facilitators and barriers for return to work (RTW) and stay at work after stroke. Materials and methods: Twenty individuals post-stroke (median age 52 years; seven women) were interviewed in focus groups. Data were analyzed by using qualitative content analysis. Results: An overall theme “Work conditions, support and changed personal priorities influen
Rolf Henriksson var en av Sveriges ledande ekonomiska doktrinhistoriker. Han började sin bana med en avhandling om den svenska emigrationen men ägnade sig därefter åt att porträttera och analysera svenska ekonomer – Eli Heckscher, Arthur Montgomery, Bertil Ohlin, Erik Lundberg, Erik Dahmén – och organisationer: Konjunkturinstitutet, Industriens Utredningsinstitut, Nationalekonomiska klubben och Na
Communicating results from genomic sequencing to family members can play an essential role allowing access to surveillance, prevention, treatment or prophylactic measures. Yet, many patients struggle with communication of these results and it is unclear to what extent this is discussed during the consent process. We conducted an online systematic search and used content analysis to explore how con
Objective: To estimate the diagnostic performance of sonographic cervical length for the prediction of preterm birth (PTB). Design: Prospective observational multicentre study. Setting: Seven Swedish ultrasound centres. Sample: A cohort of 11 456 asymptomatic women with a singleton pregnancy. Methods: Cervical length was measured with transvaginal ultrasound at 18–20 weeks of gestation (C×1) and a
