Analyzing Citizen Engagement With European Politics on Social Media
Contributions in this thematic issue focus explicitly on citizens and their online engagement with European politics. For social media research in the European Union, citizens remain an understudied actor type in comparison with political elites or news organizations. The reason, we argue, is four key challenges facing social media research in the European Union: legal, ethical, technical, and cul
A Statistical DOI Estimation Algorithm for a SiPM-Based Clinical SPECT Insert
A prototype clinical brain SPECT insert has been designed for use in simultaneous SPECT/MRI. The system utilises novel slit-slat collimators which, like pinhole collimators, suffers from parallax errors due to the large incident angle of photons. A statistical algorithm has been developed to determine the depth-of-interaction (DOI) with a view to improving image performance. The importance of DOI
Epidemiology and Prognostic Factors in Acute Lower Limb Ischaemia : A Population Based Study
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the contemporary population based incidence of acute lower limb ischaemia (ALI) and factors associated with major amputation/death at one year. Methods: In this retrospective observational study, in hospital, operation, radiological, and autopsy registries were scrutinised to capture 161 citizens of Malmö, Sweden, with ALI between 2015 and 2018. Age
Robot-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy : Results from the EUROCRINE Surgical Registry
Background: Adrenalectomy is routinely performed via the minimally invasive approach. Safety of adrenalectomy using the robot-assisted technique has been widely demonstrated by several series, but the literature is scarce regarding the comparison of conventional laparoscopic versus robot-assisted approach. We decided to carry out a multicenter study to compare clinical and surgical outcomes betwee
A suggestion for the quantification of precise and bounded probability to quantify epistemic uncertainty in scientific assessments
An honest communication of uncertainty about quantities of interest enhances transparency in scientific assessments. To support this communication, risk assessors should choose appropriate ways to evaluate and characterize epistemic uncertainty. A full treatment of uncertainty requires methods that distinguish aleatory from epistemic uncertainty. Quantitative expressions for epistemic uncertainty
Institutional trust and emergency preparedness : Perceptions of Covid 19 crisis management in Sweden
The Covid 19 pandemic has put the issue of public trust at the centre of political analysis. This article inquires into the level of public trust in Sweden concerning current crisis management as well as preparedness for future crises. The empirical basis for this study consists of unique data generated through two surveys on the Covid 19 virus conducted during 2020 in Sweden. Respondents were ask
Clinical outcome and adherence rate in Scandinavian patients with intermediate-intensity prophylaxis before and after the switch of standard half-life FVIII products to BAY 81–8973
Introduction: Treatment optimization in haemophilia A can be achieved by choice of FVIII product and knowledge of pharmacokinetics (PK), phenotype and adherence. A favourable PK profile of BAY 81–8973 (octocog alfa) (Kovaltry, Bayer AB) compared to other standard half-life (SHL) FVIII products has been suggested. Aim: To evaluate whether the switch to BAY 81–8973, using the same dosing schedule, i

Prospective evaluation of 92 serum protein biomarkers for early detection of ovarian cancer
Background: CA125 is the best available yet insufficiently sensitive biomarker for early detection of ovarian cancer. There is a need to identify novel biomarkers, which individually or in combination with CA125 can achieve adequate sensitivity and specificity for the detection of earlier-stage ovarian cancer. Methods: In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) coho

Dynamic Standing Exercise in a Novel Assistive Device Compared with Standard Care for Children with Cerebral Palsy Who Are Non-Ambulant, with Regard to Quality of Life and Cost-Effectiveness
Children with cerebral palsy who are non-ambulant cannot stand or walk independently. In Sweden, daily static standing is part of standard care for these children even though it is time-consuming and costly, and while it may benefit the well-being of many children, it is inconvenient for others. A novel stander enables dynamic standing through walking movements. The aim of this study was to compar
Psychometric Properties of Clinical Indicators for Identification and Management of Advanced Parkinson’s Disease : Real-World Evidence From G7 Countries
Introduction: Standardized and validated criteria to define advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) or identify patient eligibility for device-aided therapy are needed. This study assessed the psychometric properties of clinical indicators of advanced PD and eligibility for device-aided therapy in a large population. Methods: This retrospective analysis of the Adelphi Parkinson’s Disease Specific Progra
SPIRE—a software tool for bicontinuous phase recognition : application for plastid cubic membranes
Bicontinuous membranes in cell organelles epitomize nature’s ability to create complex functional nanostructures. Like their synthetic counterparts, these membranes are characterized by continuous membrane sheets draped onto topologically complex saddle-shaped surfaces with a periodic network-like structure. Their structure sizes, (around 50–500 nm), and fluid nature make transmission electron mic
Fibrinogen-like protein 2 in gastrointestinal stromal tumour
Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), the most common sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract, can be treated effectively with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as imatinib. Cancer immune therapy has limited efficacy, and little is known about the immune suppressive factors in GISTs. Fibrinogen-like protein 2 (FGL2) is expressed either as a membrane-associated protein or as a secreted soluble prote
High versus low ultrafiltration rates during experimental peritoneal dialysis in rats : Acute effects on plasma volume and systemic haemodynamics
Introduction: Intradialytic hypotension is a common complication of haemodialysis, but uncommon in peritoneal dialysis (PD). This may be due to lower ultrafiltration rates in PD compared to haemodialysis, allowing for sufficient refilling of the blood plasma compartment from the interstitial volume, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here we assessed plasma volume and hemodynamic alteratio
The role of work-integrated learning in preparing students for a corporate entrepreneurial career
Purpose: In the literature there is limited knowledge about how to prepare students for a corporate entrepreneurial career. The purpose is therefore to develop a framework for understanding the role corporate development projects play in corporate entrepreneurship education, and to examine the potential role of the design of the project. The study defines a corporate development project as a proje

Frailty and osteoporosis in patients with hip fractures under the age of 60-a prospective cohort of 218 individuals
Research on younger patients with hip fractures is limited. This study adds knowledge on patient and injury characteristics, and DXA was investigated at the time of the fracture. Risk factors for osteoporosis and fractures were numerous among young patients, and osteoporosis was markedly more prevalent than in the general population.INTRODUCTION: Knowledge on younger patients with hip fractures is
