Autophagy-mediated control of ribosome homeostasis in oncogene-induced senescence

Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is a persistent anti-proliferative response that acts as a barrier against malignant transformation. During OIS, cells undergo dynamic remodeling, which involves alterations in protein and organelle homeostasis through autophagy. Here, we show that ribosomes are selectively targeted for degradation by autophagy during OIS. By characterizing senescence-dependent al

Let's go thrift shopping : exploring circular business model innovation in fashion retail

The circular economy offers promising opportunities for the fashion industry to decouple revenue streams from resource use. To take advantage of these opportunities, this research study investigates circular business model innovation and advances knowledge on what drives such innovation and how this process can be accelerated. In a collaborative setting, we developed and validated a circular busin

Complement dysregulation associated with a genetic variant in factor H-related protein 5 in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome

BACKGROUND: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) can be associated with mutations, deletions, or hybrid genes in factor H-related (FHR) proteins.METHODS: A child with aHUS was investigated. Genetics was assessed by Sanger and next generation sequencing. Serum FHR5 was evaluated by immunoblotting, ELISA, and by induction of rabbit red blood cell hemolysis in the presence/absence of recombinant

Impoliteness and morality as instruments of destructive informal social control in online harassment targeting Swedish journalists

This study investigates the interplay between morality, impoliteness, and moral order in the online harassment of Swedish journalists on Twitter. It reveals how impoliteness serves as a tool to harm the media's epistemic credibility, rooted in anti-press and populist rhetoric, and exert destructive informal social control. The highlighted paradox is that provisions for freedom of speech, designed

Translating trust as a magic concept in public sector reforms: A comparative study of the Danish and Swedish trust reform

In response to growing criticism of new public management reforms, the Nordic countries have introduced so-called trust reforms aimed at transforming public sector management and leadership. There is, however, scarce knowledge about the role of organizational concepts in national trust reform and how they are translated, not least in a comparative perspective. This study offers an in-depth analysiIn response to growing criticism of new public management reforms, the Nordic countries have introduced so-called trust reforms aimed at transforming public sector management and leadership.

Building a stronger steel transition: Global cooperation and procurement in construction

As a major buyer of steel, the construction sector is uniquely positioned to advance the decarbonization of global steel through increasing the demand for green steel. To unlock this potential, deepened international collaborations on green public procurement, climate policies, and trade are needed.As a major buyer of steel, the construction sector is uniquely positioned to advance the decarbonization of global steel through increasing the demand for green steel.

Plasma concentrations of persistent organochlorines in relation to thyrotropin and thyroid hormone levels in women

OBJECTIVES: There is a concern that persistent organohalogen toxicants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), might display endocrine-disrupting effects in exposed populations. In this study the correlations between PCBs and thyrotropin (TSH) and thyroid hormone concentrations in plasma were assessed in adult women.METHODS: The study group consisted of 182 fishermen's wives from the Swedish ea

Sociodemographic Factors, Nutritional Status, and Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Objectives. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction of unknown etiology with high a prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms. The aim of the present study was to examine sociodemographic, lifestyle, and nutritional factors as well as inflammatory markers in patients with POTS. Materials and Methods. Forty-three patients with POTS and

Is vascular mortality increased in hypopituitarism?

Hitherto four relevant cohort studies have been published on the life expectancy of patients with hypopituitarism, two from the UK and two from Sweden. In all four studies patients with acromegaly or Cushing's disease were excluded, and patients with GH replacement were not included. A crude meta-analysis, not considering differences in validity of the study designs, gives an overall Relative Risk

Management of influenza–updated Swedish guidelines for antiviral treatment

Influenza causes seasonal epidemics of respiratory infection in all parts of the world. Manifestations of influenza range from mild upper to severe lower respiratory tract infection. Medical risk groups are defined by factors predisposing for development of severe disease and are recommended annual vaccination as a protective measure. The previous Swedish treatment guidelines for influenza were is

Periradicular surgery : A longitudinal registry study of 10-year outcomes and factors predictive of post-surgical extraction

Aim: This historical prospective cohort study of the adult population of Sweden is based on data from a national registry: the primary aim was to evaluate the long-term survival of teeth after periradicular surgery. A secondary aim was to identify factors predictive of extraction within 10 years of registration of periradicular surgery. Methodology: The cohort consisted of all individuals who had

Domain Boundary Formation Within an Intercalated Pb Monolayer Featuring Charge-Neutral Epitaxial Graphene

The synthesis of new graphene-based quantum materials by intercalation is an auspicious approach. However, an accompanying proximity coupling depends crucially on the structural details of the new heterostructure. It is studied in detail the Pb monolayer structure after intercalation into the graphene buffer layer on the SiC(0001) interface by means of photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray standing wa

Intensive Data-Driven Model for Real-Time Observability in Low-Voltage Radial DSO Grids

Increasing levels of distributed generation (DG), as well as changes in electricity consumption behavior, are reshaping power distribution systems. These changes might place particular stress on the secondary low-voltage (LV) distribution systems not originally designed for bi-directional power flows. Voltage violations, reverse power flow, and congestion are the main arising concerns for distribu

Association of polypharmacy with occurrence of loneliness and social isolation among older adults

BackgroundPolypharmacy is increasing. The longitudinal association of polypharmacy and social isolation has not been previously reported. The aim of this study was to explore longitudinal associations of polypharmacy with loneliness and social isolation among older adults.MethodsParticipants aged 60 years and above in southern Sweden were invited for participation. A total of 1526 and 2556 partici

Towards an Inclusive Disaster Education : The State of Online Disaster Education from the Learner’s Perspective

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) education endorses educational initiatives that advocate for reducing existing disaster risks. The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the social order around the world, including the education sector. The rise of the pandemic paved the way to significantly convert the education sector towards online/distant learning via digital platforms. Online distance learning was a chal
