OBJECTIVES: To elucidate antibody responses after the second and third dose of COVID-19 vaccine in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) treated with biologic/targeted disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b/ts DMARDs).METHODS: Antibody levels to antigens representing spike full length protein and spike S1 were measured before vaccination, 2-12 weeks after the second dose, before a

We describe an entomological dual-band 808 and 980 nm lidar system which has been implemented in a tropical cloud forest (Ecuador). The system was successfully tested at a sample rate of 5 kHz in a cloud forest during challenging foggy conditions (extinction coefficients up to 20 km–1). At times, the backscattered signal could be retrieved from a distance of 2.929 km. We present insect and bat obs

For animals to survive until reproduction, it is crucial that juveniles successfully detect potential predators and respond with appropriate behavior. The recognition of cues originating from predators can be innate or learned. Cues of various modalities might be used alone or in multi-modal combinations to detect and distinguish predators but studies investigating multi-modal integration in p

Aviation currently contributes about 3% of the world’s CO2 emissions, 5% of the global warming, and 35% of the trade. Reducing the emissions and the global warming from aviation is thus essential. Many approaches to achieve this goal are underway, including H2, fuel cells, and batteries, but also by replacing the fossil jet fuel with sustainable jet fuel from non-fossil feedstocks. This involves m

Currently, there are no given directives and regulations on how hydrogen refueling stations should be designed in Sweden. A proposal regarding hydrogen refueling stations H2-TSA, is being developed by Energigas Sverige and is expected to be published in 2023. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to development and future revisions of H2-TSA. It is done by analyze how a general hydrogen refuelin

We examine whether exposure to gender inequality at export destinations affects the gender wage gap in exporting firms. We motivate the analysis through a stylized model where wages depend on worker productivity, and men have a comparative advantage when trading with gender-unequal countries due to customer discrimination. Empirically, we use high-quality matched employer-employee data from Sweden

Arabinoxylan (AX) is a beneficial dietary fibre found in cereals such as oats. This crop also possesses high quality proteins and other fibres like b-glucan that help reduce LDL and postprandial blood glucose levels. Lines with a higher content of AX have been recently identified, and the current study aimed to investigate the structure of the AX fibre in these lines in comparison to the commercia

Humans have an irresistible inclination to coordinate actions with others, leading to species-unique forms of cooperation. According to the highly influential Shared intentionality theory (SITh), human cooperation is made possible by shared intentionality (SI), typically defined as a suite of socio-cognitive and motivational traits for sharing psychological states with others, thereby enabling ind

Bakgrund: WHO klassar vaccinationsmotstånd som ett av de största hoten mot folkhälsan i modern tid. COVID-19 drabbade världen med stor kraft och vaccination var en förutsättning för att kunna återfå ett fungerande samhälle. Samtidigt sågs en utbredd vaccinationstveksamhet. Sjuksköterskor möter vaccintveksamma personer och för att kunna bemöta och vägleda dem till god hälsa är det viktigt att först
