Background: Photoallergic contact dermatitis is one of the important parts of photodermatoses. The investigation of choice is photopatch testing. However, reports with photopatch test results from Asian countries are scarce. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of positive photopatch test reactions and to ascertain the common photoallergens among Thai patients during 1998-20

Using electronic health records data and machine learning to guide future decisions needs to address challenges, including 1) long/short-term dependencies and 2) interactions between diseases and interventions. Bidirectional transformers have effectively addressed the first challenge. Here we tackled the latter challenge by masking one source (e.g., ICD10 codes) and training the transformer to pre

In this paper, we present a new framework for improving soil strength using an advanced method of engineering statistics. The materials included clay till collected in Yttre Ringvägen, southern Sweden. Binders included quicklime, slag and ordinary Portland cement used as pure binders and blended mixtures. We first applied the Response Surface Methodology techniques aimed at binder blend optimisati

The Mediterranean lizard Podarcis lilfordi is an emblematic species of the Balearic Islands. The extensive phenotypic diversity among extant isolated populations makes the species a great insular model system for eco-evolutionary studies, as well as a challenging target for conservation management plans. Here we report the first high-quality chromosome-level assembly and annotation of the P. lilfo

Increased scholarly interest in ideas, goods and people that crossed the boundaries between modern empires (c. 1850-1914), known as transimperial history, has directed attention to microhistorical cases of individuals with transimperial careers. Such life trajectories are interesting in themselves, but their representativeness and broader significance for modern imperial history is often unclear.

Cross-correlation spectroscopy is an invaluable tool in the study of exoplanets. However, aliasing between spectral lines makes it vulnerable to systematic biases. This work strives to constrain the aliases of the cross-correlation function to provide increased confidence in the detections of elements in the atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) observed with high-resolution spectrographs. We u

IN I MUSIKENS KOLORERADE UNIVERSVår ambition har varit att lyfta fram det experimentella och improvisatoriska i musiken utifrån en annan synvinkel än den traditionella - det vill säga att arbeta tvärkonstnärligt med färg, form, frekvenser och färglära.

We review the use of science by lawmakers and courts in implementing or rejecting legal rights for nature in Ecuador, India, the United States, and other jurisdictions where some type of rights of nature have been recognized in the legal system. We then use the “right to evolve” to exemplify how interdisciplinary work can (i) help courts effectively define what this right might entail; (ii) inform

In the vicinity of the type-I/type-II crossover in conventional superconductors, vortices exhibit a nonmonotonic interaction, which leads to exotic vortex matter states. We perform molecular dynamics simulations on a model superconductor in the intertype regime. In a field cooled approach, we examine the transition of a homogeneous vortex lattice (VL) into a structure consisting of VL domains and

In this study, the compiled malacological record of the two most important loess–palaeosol sequences (LPS) in Serbia was used to reconstruct the Malacothermometer July Paleotemperature (MTJP) of the last nine glacials. The sieved loess samples yielded shells of 11 terrestrial gastropod species that were used to estimate the MTJP. Veliki Surduk (covering the last three glacial cycles) and Stari Sla

I vår tid kämpar många med att uttrycka sig konstnärligt och få bekräftelse för detta i offentligheten. Så var det också för författaren och visartisten Birger Sjöberg. I början av 1920-talet gjorde han succé med sina sorglustiga och egensinniga sånger om Frida och med romanen Kvartetten som sprängdes.Birger Sjöberg var under ett par år en av den svenska borgerlighetens stora underhållare. Men när

Distant metastasis is the major cause of cancer-related deaths in men with prostate cancer (PCa). An in vivo functional screen was used to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) regulating metastatic dissemination of PCa cells. PC3 cells transduced with pooled miRZiP™ lentivirus library (anti-miRNAs) were injected intraprostatic to 13 NSG mice followed by targeted barcode/anti-miR sequencing. PCa cells in th

Brake wear is known as the primary source of traffic-related non-exhaust particle generation. Its generation rate is influenced by parameters at different levels: subsystem (type of brakes, pads, materials, etc.), system (vehicles' dynamics, driving style etc.) and suprasystem (road geometries, traffic parameters, etc.). At the subsystem level, we proposed a neural network brake emission modeling,

Introduction: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of both type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). No cure for DPN is available, but several potential targets have been proposed for treatment. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are known to respond to both hyper- and hypoglycemia. DPN can be diagnosed using electrophysiology and studied using peripheral nerve biopsies.Aim: This st

In this communication we demonstrate the role of turbulence intensity in the dual-front structure and self-similar propagation of spherical turbulent iron-methane hybrid flames. We first show that iron-methane hybrid mixture, whose iron concentration is below a critical threshold for the formation of a dust flame front in laminar or weak turbulent environment, can be burned strongly with both sepa

AimsThe aim is to investigate associations between attendance in religious service during the past year and all-cause, cardiovascular (CVD), cancer and other cause mortality.Study designProspective cohort study.MethodsA public health survey with three reminders was sent to a stratified random sample of the adult 18–80 population in southernmost Sweden in 2008. The response rate was 54.1%, and 24,8

Objectives To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sick leave among healthcare workers (HCWs) in primary and specialist care and examine its causes. Methods Using individual-level register data, we studied monthly proportions of sick leave (all-cause and not related to SARS-CoV-2 infection) from 2017 to February 2022 for all HCWs in primary (N=60 973) and specialist care (N=34 978) in Nor
