Hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare but life-threatening condition, manifests as acute attacks of facial, laryngeal, genital, or peripheral swelling or abdominal pain secondary to intra-abdominal edema. Resulting from mutations affecting C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), inhibitor of the first complement system component, attacks are not histamine-mediated and do not respond to antihistamines or cor
The standard method used for tagging b-hadrons in the DELPHI experiment at the CERN LEP Collider is discussed in detail. The main ingredient of b-tagging is the impact parameters of tracks, which relies mostly on the vertex detector. Additional information, such as the mass of particles associated to a secondary vertex, significantly improves the selection efficiency and the background suppression
Most people hold beliefs about personality characteristics typical of members of their own and others' cultures. These perceptions of national character may be generalizations from personal experience, stereotypes with a "kernel of truth," or inaccurate stereotypes. We obtained national character ratings of 3989 people from 49 cultures and compared them with the average personality scores of cultu
Popular Abstract in Swedish Funktionen hos hemoglobin från ryggradslösa organismer är mer varierande än motsvarande för ryggradsdjur, vilket möjligen speglar de mer mångfasetterade behoven inom den förra gruppen. Hemoglobin har strukturella likheter med andra hemproteiner/enzymer och uppvisar även överlappande enzymaktiviteter, med funktioner utöver transport och lagring av syre. Under syrefattigThe function of non-vertebrate haemoglobins (Hbs) appears more diverse than that of vertebrate Hbs, possibly reflecting the various demands to be met among their hosts. Sharing structural features with other haem proteins/enzymes, Hbs display a qualitative overlap in activities with functions extending beyond oxygen transport/storage. When subjected to oxygen deficient conditions, the obligate ae
Gall-forming arthropods are highly specialized herbivores that, in combination with their hosts, produce extended phenotypes with unique morphologies [1]. Many are economically important, and others have improved our understanding of ecology and adaptive radiation [2]. However, the mechanisms that these arthropods use to induce plant galls are poorly understood. We sequenced the genome of the Hess
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bangladesh är ett av världens folkrikaste muslimska länder. Sedan självständigheten har invånarna – trots politisk oro, massiva naturkatastrofer och utbredd administrativ korruption – upplevt en positiv utveckling, särskilt vad gäller kvinnors utbildning, hälsovård och familjeplanering. Denna avhandling diskuterar kvinnors levnadsförhållanden på landsbygden med fokus påBangladesh is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. In spite of political turmoil, frequent natural disasters and widespread corruption it has, in less than four decades after its birth as an independent state, gained visible success in human development - especially the education of women and girls, family planning and health, and microcredit to the poor. As a Muslim country it has s
PURPOSE: Radiation to the bone and exposure to alkylating agents increases the risk of bone cancer among survivors of childhood cancer, but there is uncertainty regarding the risks of bone tissue radiation doses below 10 Gy and the dose-response relationship for specific types of chemotherapy.METHODS: Twelve European countries contributed 228 cases and 228 matched controls to a nested case-control
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of the INveStigating ProblEmatic Clinical Trials in Systematic Reviews (INSPECT-SR) project is to develop a tool to identify problematic RCTs in systematic reviews. In stage 1 of the project, a list of potential trustworthiness checks was created. The checks on this list must be evaluated to determine which should be included in the INSPECT-SR tool.METHODS: We at
This study explores how scientists navigate research topic transitions during their early-career training and examines its impact on the production of novel knowledge. Drawing on survey data of 270 mid-career scientists in life sciences, we investigate their time investment in topics during early career stages (i.e. during PhD and postdoc training) and trace their research output for 15 years afte
The endeavour to align the goals of the Swedish food strategy with the national environmental quality objectives and the 17 global SDGs, presents an extraordinary challenge that calls for systemic innovation. Industrial symbiosis can potentially provide the means for increasing sustainable food production, using locally sub-exploited resources that can reduce the need for land, agrochemicals, tran
Recently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally. One clear example of this is the increased prevalence of wildfires in recent years and increasing wildfire potential
We conducted a multiancestry genome-wide association study of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in 296,754 men (211,342 European ancestry, 58,236 African ancestry, 23,546 Hispanic/Latino and 3,630 Asian ancestry; 96.5% of participants were from the Million Veteran Program). We identified 318 independent genome-wide significant (P ≤ 5 × 10 -8) variants, 184 of which were novel. Most demonstra
Empathy is a multifaceted competency that underlies socioemotional functioning, improves prosocial behavior, and prevents mental health risks, which makes its development central during childhood with long-lasting impacts on individuals’ lives. In this systematic review we investigate which aspects of caregiver-child conversations that are critical in fostering children’s empathy. The study and se
Objective and Methods: This thesis investigates the relationship between insecure attachment (anxiety and avoidance), rumination, and overgeneralized episodic memory retrieval in nonclinical adults, addressing the potential moderating role of rumination in the attachment- overgeneralization link. A community sample of 41 Swedish-speaking women participated in a narrative memory task involving atta
The status of our roads and the possibility to monitor the conditions of them are becoming more and more important due to the steady increase of vehicles populating them. This thesis aims to improve a system for which purpose is to gather data about the status of roads, which the Swedish company Klimator develops. With more frequently measured roads saltand plowing efforts could be optimized and i
As technology progress the right to personal integrity has been discussed in several areas. One of those areas is labour law and specifically the employee’s right to personal integrity. As communication becomes more and more digital it has become more practical for employers to monitor their employees. The question regarding employees’ right to protection for their personal integrity is, despite
Problemområde: De svenska kommunerna har fått ett ökat ansvar för samhällets beredskap gentemot olika krissituationer. En del i kommunens beredskap är arbetet med förberedande krisinformation till olika grupper i samhället, vilken är viktig för att människor ska agera på ett så bra och rationellt sätt som möjligt i en krissituation. En informationskanal som ständigt växer och utnyttjas av allt fle
