Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for depression with potential transient cognitive side effects. However, subjective memory impairment can extend over a long period after ECT. Objectives: This study aimed to assess potential risk factors for long-term subjective memory impairment 6 months after ECT and to explore if the associations are mediated by depressive s
What were the effects of having a distinctively African American-sounding name on educational attainment, occupation, income, marital status, and longevity in early 20th century America? How did those effects differ for people based on their phenotypical race/ethnicity? The findings of contemporary research have shown racialized names to be related to negative outcomes such as job interview callba
The virtual reconstruction of the archaeological landscape is a very complex process including in a virtual ecosystem many kinds of data, activities, according to a multidisciplinary approach. This system of relations, interactions and behaviors assumes perceptive, cultural, psychological and relevance. The virtual environment and archaeological structures, as they are today, can be reconstructed
SammanfattningFör induktion av hypertermi i klinisk praxis i LUND utvecklade vi ett 2450 MHz mikrovågssystem, som har använts sedan augusti 1980. 1982 lade vi till frekvensen 915 MHz, och sedan 1986 har vi även 434 MHz tillgängligt. Ett styrsystem baserat på en dator justerar temperaturen i vävnaden genom att alternera temperaturregistrering och mikrovågsstrålning. Konventionella termistorsonder (
Background/Objectives:Catha edulis, also known as Khat, is a stimulant with hepatotoxic properties. Studies reporting laboratory patterns are scarce. The aim was to assess the patterns associated with hepatic dysfunction due to Khat usage. Methods: Patients with liver injury and self-reported Khat consumption presenting to the gastroenterology department at the King Fahad Central Hospital in Jazan
This paper investigates whether executive boards consider firm-specific inefficiencies when they change CEOs in the Swedish electricity distribution sector. Firm-level inefficiencies are calculated using data from all Swedish electricity distributors from 2001 to 2022 and a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. DEA has advantages over standard financial key performance indicators since it cont
A Stein-type control function maximum likelihood (CFML) estimator is suggested for the probit model in the presence of endogeneity. This novel estimator combines the probit maximum likelihood and CFML estimators. The asymptotic distribution and risk function for the new estimator is derived. It is demonstrated that, subject to certain conditions of the shrinkage parameter, the asymptotic risk of t
This volume shows how waste in its manifold variety provides an innovative starting point for interrogating twenty-first-century society. Waste in and of itself, along with those who work with it, may suffer from social stigma. As an epistemological point of departure however, waste offers an advantageous platform for social inquiry. Drawing on the contributions from an international team of inter
This study showcases an integrative mass spectrometry-based strategy combining systems antigenomics and systems serology to characterize human antibodies in clinical samples. This strategy involves using antibodies circulating in plasma to affinity-enrich antigenic proteins in biochemically fractionated pools of bacterial proteins, followed by their identification and quantification using mass spe
Antibodies are critical to the host's immune defense against bacterial pathogens. Understanding the mechanisms of antibody-antigen interactions is essential for developing new targeted immunotherapies. Building computational workflows that can identify where an antibody binds its cognate antigen and deconvoluting the interaction interface in a high-throughput manner are critical for advancing this
In modern high energy physics (HEP) experiments, triggers perform the important task of selecting, in real time, the data to be recorded and saved for physics analyses. As a result, trigger strategies play a key role in extracting relevant information from the vast streams of data produced at facilities like the large hadron collider (LHC). As the energy and luminosity of the collisions increase,
Consumption of part of own-produced food is regarded as a sustainable approach to attaining dietary diversity and a pathway to improved food and nutrition security. However, empirical evidence on the relationship between production diversity and dietary diversity is inconclusive, with some studies demonstrating a positive relationship while others reveal conflicting results. Furthermore, this rela
PurposeSexual harassment in contexts of higher education is a well-documented problem with far reaching consequences for individuals and organizations. Questions remain about how sexual harassment is conceptualized and what implications these conceptualizations have for designing programmes to prevent and respond to sexual harassment in university settings. This study aimed to understand how stude
Viral infections in the first year of life are associated with islet autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes risk. The Anti-Viral Action against Type 1 Diabetes Autoimmunity (AVAnT1A)- study is a clinical phase IV investigator initiated, randomised, controlled, multicentre, primary prevention trial conducted to determine whether vaccination against COVID-19 from 6 months of age reduces the cumulative inc

The International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) guidelines represent a rich repository that serves as the only comprehensive set of clinical recommendations for children, adolescents, and young adults living with diabetes worldwide. This guideline serves as an update to the 2022 ISPAD consensus guideline on staging for type 1 diabetes (T1D). Key additions include an evidenc
