Minusräntan har förvärrat de finansiella obalanserna, sänkt värdet på den svenska kronan och bidragit till ökade förmögenhetsklyftor. Det skriver nationalekonomerna Fredrik N G Andersson och Lars Jonung.

A desalting step using reversed phase chromatography is a common practice prior to mass spectrometry analysis of proteolytic digests in spite of the detrimental exclusion of the hydrophilic peptides. The detection of such peptides is also important for the complete coverage of protein sequences and the analysis of posttranslational modifications as inquired by regulatory agencies for the commercia

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by insufficient insulin secretion and elevated glucose levels, often in combination with high levels of circulating fatty acids. Long-term exposure to high levels of glucose or fatty acids impair insulin secretion in pancreatic islets, which could partly be due to epigenetic alterations. We studied the effects of high concentrations of glucose and palmitate c

A hallmark of polycystic kidney diseases (PKDs) is aberrant proliferation, which leads to the formation and growth of renal cysts. Proliferation is mediated by cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), and the administration of roscovitine (a pan-Cdk inhibitor) attenuates renal cystic disease in juvenile cystic kidney (jck) mice. Cdk2 is a key regulator of cell proliferation, but its specific role in PKD r

Artikeln presenterar svensk senmedeltida helgonpredikan i allmänhet, några generella drag hos de ca 30 bevarade predikningarna om S:t Olof samt en mer ingående redogörelse för en av dessa.The contribution presents preserved medieval Nordic sermons on St Olaf, all of which are found in Latin manuscripts from the medieval library of Vadstena Abbey. After a brief discussion of what they sermons say about St Olaf and what sources the preachers may have used, the contents of one specific sermon are given in summary form.

Hip-related pain can significantly impact quality of life, function, work capacity, physical activity and family life. Standardised measurement methods of physical capacity of relevance to young and middle-aged active adults with hip-related pain are currently not established. The aim of this consensus paper was to provide recommendations for clinical practice and research on standardised measurem

Background: In the medical literature, the nomenclature and descriptions (ND) of small bowel (SB) ulcerative and inflammatory (U-I) lesions in capsule endoscopy (CE) are scarce and inconsistent. Inter-observer variability in interpreting these findings remains a major limitation in the assessment of the severity of mucosal lesions, which can impact negatively on clinical care, training and researc

The incidence of FIX inhibitors in severe hemophilia B (SHB) is not well defined. Frequencies of 3-5% have been reported but most studies to date were small, including patients with different severities, and without prospective follow-up for inhibitor incidence. Study objective was to investigate inhibitor incidence in patients with SHB followed up to 500 exposure days (ED), the frequency of aller

High-efficiency photocatalysts are crucial for the removal of organic pollutants and environmental sustainability. In the present work, we report on a new low-temperature hydrothermal chemical method, assisted by ultrasonication, to synthesize disruptive plasmonic ZnO/graphene/Ag/AgI nanocomposites for solar-driven photocatalysis. The plasmonic nanocomposites were investigated by a wide range of c

BACKGROUND: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread synthetic substances with various adverse health effects. Not much is known about the modes of action of PFAS toxicity, but one likely mechanism is alteration of microRNA expression.OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether PFAS exposure is associated with altered microRNA expression in serum.METHODS: We selected women from the Ronneby cohort, w

This is the Dutch contribution to the book Implementing Key BEPS Actions: Where Do We Stand? Discussed are amongst others measures against hybrid mismatch arrangements, CFC rules, interest deductions, countering harmful tax practices, transfer pricing and the MLI.

OpenFlow flow tables in Open vSwitch contain valuable information about installed flows, priorities, packet actions and routing policies. Their importance is emphasised when collocated tenants compete for the limited entries available to install flow rules. OpenFlow flow tables are a security asset that requires confidentiality and integrity guarantees. However, commodity software switch implement

Background: Nomenclature for mesh insertion during ventral hernia repair is inconsistent and confusing. Several terms, including ‘inlay’, ‘sublay’ and ‘underlay’, can refer to the same anatomical planes in the indexed literature. This frustrates comparisons of surgical practice and may invalidate meta-analyses comparing surgical outcomes. The aim of this study was to establish an international cla

Background: Hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (HPD) is an aggressive operation for treatment of advanced bile duct and gallbladder cancer associated with high perioperative morbidity and mortality, and uncertain oncological benefit in terms of survival. Few reports on HPD from Western centers exist. The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy for HPD in European centers. Method: Member
