Background and purpose — Pooling data of studies evaluating total knee arthroplasty migration using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) may be compromised when the RSA method used would influence estimated differences between groups. We therefore reanalyzed a marker-based RSA study with model-based RSA to assess possible limitations of each RSA method, including insert micromotions in modular TKA and

This article explores how a series of heritage-driven renewal plans in the Swedish city Malmö dealt with a landscape deeply shaped by radical politics: Malmö People’s Park (Folkets Park). Arguing against notions of heritage where the past is essentially considered a malleable resource for present commercial or political concerns, we scrutinise plans for the People’s Park from the 1980s onward to e

Mental health problems among children and youth is positioned as one of the most urgent public health issues in Sweden today. Both research and official reports assert that mental health issues have increased among adolescents, especially girls, during the last decades. The aim of this study is to investigate how changes in childhood and gender discourses has implicated the construction of young p

For years, it is an actuality in the poultry processing industry, that the body and the cardiovascular system of the chickens are not strong enough due to the shortened rearing time. This induces, that the quality of the chicken breast is not appropriate for selling, since during the processing procedure, frequently blood spots appear inside the meat. These damaged parts need to be removed, causin

Defenses of the possibility of collective guilt feelings falls roughly into two categories: collectivistic positions that assign guilt feelings to groups as such but play down the experiential component in guilt feelings, and individualistic positions which understand collective guilt feelings in terms of individual experiences. The analogy between collective and individual guilt feelings is exami

The structural phases and optoelectronic properties of coevaporated CsPbI 3 thin films with a wide range of [CsI]/[PbI 2 ] compositional ratios are investigated using high throughput experimentation and gradient samples. It is found that for CsI-rich growth conditions, CsPbI 3 can be synthesized directly at low temperature into the distorted perovskite γ-CsPbI 3 phase without detectable secon

The article describes a new method for determining the biological age (BV) of a person, developed by a team of authors: A. Skrebneva, V. Popov, A. Buslova. The goal and objectives are to develop a new method for assessing BV with determining its validity and usefulness for predicting the rate of aging in the framework of a large national sample of people. Material and methods. For the work, anonym

This article explores global citizenship through the narratives of employees of a Danish travel-related NGO. Using a narrative approach, this article unravels how employees interpret their own identity and position themselves as global citizens. Findings reveal that participants' stories reinforce a strong sense of moral responsibility to both people and the planet. We also found that global citiz

Abstract Body:Starting out from a joint Nordic collaboration initiative in 2008 resulting in the development of a Nordic Master Program in Gerontology (NordMaG), followed by the establishment of graduate schools integrated with two national excellence centers for aging research in Sweden, in 2014 the Swedish National Graduate School for Competitive Science on Aging and Health (SWEAH) was establish

Antimicrobial peptides are a promising class of new antibiotics with the ability to kill bacteria by disrupting their cell membrane, which is especially difficult for Gram-negative bacteria whose cell wall contains an outer layer of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Here we show that the cyclic decapeptide Labaditin (Lo), with proven activity against the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococ

Immunosensors made with nanostructured films are promising for detecting cancer biomarkers, even at early stages of the disease, but this requires control of film architecture to preserve the biological activity of immobilized antibodies. In this study, we used electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to detect Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) with immunosensors produced with layer-by-layer (L

Biosensors fabricated with nanomaterials promise faster, cheaper, and more efficient alternatives to traditional, often bulky devices for early cancer diagnosis. In this study, we fabricated a thin film sensing unit on interdigitated gold electrodes combining polyethyleneimine and carbon nanotubes in a layer by layer fashion, onto which antibodies anti-CA19-9 were adsorbed with a supporting layer

The properties of nanowire arrays have been investigated mainly in comparison with isolated nanowires or thin films, owing to the difficulty in controlling the nanowire alignment. In this study, we report on arrays containing vertically or horizontally aligned silicon nanowires, whose alignment and structure were determined using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The Raman spectr
