Infective endocarditis caused by non-HACEK Gram-negative bacteria, a registry-based comparative study
Introduction/objectivesInfective endocarditis (IE) caused by non-HACEK Gram-negative bacteria (nHGNB) is uncommon. In the 2023 Duke-ISCVID diagnostic criteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens were added as “typical” pathogens. We examine the consequences of this addition, the risk of IE in bacteremia from nHGNB species and the features of IE caused by nHGNB.Materials and methodsnHGN
Impact of emergency computed tomography on treatment and time to treatment for renal colic
ABSTRACTObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the utilization and impact of emergency computedtomography (CT) on the management of renal colic, focusing on treatment decisions, time to treatmentand the subsequent need for additional emergency department (ED) visits.Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of patient visits to the ED in Helsingborg with a diagnosisof urolithiasis (IObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the utilization and impact of emergency computed tomography (CT) on the management of renal colic, focusing on treatment decisions, time to treatment and the subsequent need for additional emergency department (ED) visits.Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of patient visits to the ED in Helsingborg with a diagnosis of urolithiasis (ICD co
Sintering studies on Ni–Ti–Fe elemental powder mixtures using differential scanning calorimetry
Shape memory alloys based on the Ni–Ti system derive their versatile properties from the non-stoichiometric intermetallic compound NiTi. The transformation temperature associated with its shape memory effect is dependent on composition, which can be controlled by minor additions of a third element like iron. This work considers the formation of various intermetallic compounds and the evolution of
Unveiling the influence of national culture on entrepreneurship : systematic literature review
Purpose: How national culture induces entrepreneurship and business growth remains elusive in research. Questions remain, for example, how can we determine whether a given national culture is good or bad for entrepreneurial activities? What are those pro-entrepreneurship national culture dimensions that could be promoted across nations? These questions are yet open for discussion. The purpose of t

Operando XANES Reveals the Chemical State of Iron-Oxide Monolayers During Low-Temperature CO Oxidation
We have used grazing incidence X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) to investigate the behavior of monolayer FeO (Formula presented.) films on Pt(111) under near ambient pressure CO oxidation conditions with a total gas pressure of 1 bar. Spectra indicate reversible changes during oxidation and reduction by O (Formula presented.) and CO at 150 °C, attributed to a transformation between
Inventors among the Impoverished Sophisticate
This paper examines the identity and origins of Swedish inventors prior to WWI, drawing on the universe of patent records linked to census data. We document that the rise of innovation during Sweden's industrialization can largely be attributed to a small industrial elite belonging to the upper-Tail of the economic, educational, and social status distribution. Analyzing children's opportunities to
“You have exactly what it takes” : Two interventions for increasing women’s self-efficacy and belongingness in engineering
To increase women’s interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), interventions that target self-efficacy and belongingness are needed. For this purpose, this study designed and tested two interventions. In Study 1, we tested if a video with female role models increases young women’s expected belongingness and interest in engineering. In Study 2, we tested if positive feedba
New music for old instruments: the serpent (concert)
This concert featured the world premiere of new music for serpent from the composers Orlando Bass, Henrik Denerin, Athena Corcoran-Tadd, and Jesse Ronneau (the latter also with live electronics). The concert opened with a performance of a 17th-century work from Girolamo Frescobaldi with Orlando Bass on harpsichord. There was also a visual presentation, illustrating the history of the serpent and b

Unveiling the Kinetics of Accelerated Degradation in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
The polymer electrolyte fuel cells are electrochemical devices that can produce electricity, water, and heat through chemical reactions of hydrogen and oxygen. This manuscript focuses on one detailed state of degradation, called as Membrane Chemical Stability and Metrics. The Accelerated Stress Test under study was standardized by the Department of Energy. Recent advancements in the study of degra
The neuroethology of ant navigation
Unlike any other group of animals, all ant species are social: individual ants share the food they gather with their nestmates and as a consequence they must repeatedly leave their nest to find food and then return home with it. These back-and-forth foraging trips have been studied for about a century and much of our growing understanding of the strategies underlying animal navigation has come fro

An annotated high-content fluorescence microscopy dataset with EGFP-Galectin-3-stained cells and manually labelled outlines
Many forms of bioimage analysis involve the detection of objects and their outlines. In the context of microscopy-based high-throughput drug and genomic screening and even in smaller scale microscopy experiments, the objects that most often need to be detected are cells. In order to develop and benchmark algorithms and neural networks that can perform this task, high-quality datasets with annotate

Exploring relationships between time of day and pollinator activity in the context of pesticide use
Pesticide exposure can be harmful to insect pollinators and the ecosystem services they provide. As many pesticide guidelines warn against applying such products when pollinators are active, it is important to evaluate how pollinator activity changes with time of day to determine the most appropriate time to spray.We walked transects from sunrise to sunset in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) field
