IMPACT OF A TERTIARY ELIGIBILITY THRESHOLD ON TERTIARY EDUCATION AND EARNINGS : A DISCONTINUITY APPROACH

This study uses a discontinuity in the Swedish tertiary eligibility requirement to estimate the probability of enrolling in tertiary education, and the payoff thereof. Regression discontinuity results, show that achieving tertiary eligibility in upper-secondary education, increases the probability of enrolling in tertiary education by around 10–15 and 7 percentage points for students who enrolled

Base cations in the soil bank : Non-exchangeable pools may sustain centuries of net loss to forestry and leaching

Accurately quantifying soil base cation pool sizes is essential to interpreting the sustainability of forest harvests from element mass-balance studies. The soil-exchangeable pool is classically viewed as the bank of "available" base cations in the soil, withdrawn upon by plant uptake and leaching and refilled by litter decomposition, atmospheric deposition and mineral weathering. The operational

Associations of Interleukin-5 With Plaque Development and Cardiovascular Events

Experimental studies have suggested an atheroprotective role of interleukin (IL)-5 through the stimulation of natural immunoglobulin M antibody expression. In the present study we show that there are no associations between baseline levels of IL-5 and risk for development of coronary events or stroke during a 15.7 ± 6.3 years follow-up of 696 subjects randomly sampled from the Malmö Diet and Cance

Profiling of the plasma proteome across different stages of human heart failure

Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem characterized by inability of the heart to maintain sufficient output of blood. The systematic characterization of circulating proteins across different stages of HF may provide pathophysiological insights and identify therapeutic targets. Here we report application of aptamer-based proteomics to identify proteins associated with prospective HF i

Deep learning-based quantification of PET/CT prostate gland uptake : association with overall survival

Aim: To validate a deep-learning (DL) algorithm for automated quantification of prostate cancer on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and explore the potential of PET/CT measurements as prognostic biomarkers. Material and methods: Training of the DL-algorithm regarding prostate volume was performed on manually segmented CT images in 100 patients. Validation of the DL-algorit

Social assistance and mental health: evidence from longitudinal administrative data on pharmaceutical consumption

This paper adds to the small literature on the role of welfare benefits and mental health by studying the relationship between uptake of Social Assistance Benefit (SAB) and objective mental health measures. We use rich longitudinal administrative data on income, unemployment benefits and psychopharmaceutic prescriptions (antidepressants, anxiolytics, and hypnotics) for more than 140,000 Swedes in

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (SI-PASS) in Higher Education, a European overview

The paper/presentation gives an overview of Peer-Assisted Study Schemes (SI-PASS) in Higher Education in Europe. SI-PASS is a method of improving student performance in “difficult” courses combining “how to learn” with “what to learn”. SI-PASS sessions are scheduled parallel to the regular education and are guided and facilitated by a “senior” student, the SI-PASS leader. The sessions are based on

The soft values of SI: Using surveys to assist in providing quality assurance for an SI program

The main goals of SI are usually to improve learning and student performance as well as increasing retention. The achievement of these goals are evaluated based on linking SI attendance with retention and student results (student performance is here often seen as a proxy for learning). However, the objectives with introducing an SI-program at a higher education institute is often so much more than

Interactive priming effect of labile carbon and crop residues on SOM depends on residue decomposition stage : Three-source partitioning to evaluate mechanisms

Inputs of crop residues and labile C (e.g. root exudates) can affect the decomposition rate of soil organic matter (SOM) through the priming effect (PE). Most previous priming studies describe the addition of single labile or residue C, ignoring the interactions of labile C and fresh or decaying crop residues commonly present in field conditions. Using a dual 13C/14C labelling approach in a 62-day

Microbial decomposition of soil organic matter is mediated by quality and quantity of crop residues : mechanisms and thresholds

Crop residue quality and quantity have contrasting effects on soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition, but the mechanisms explaining such priming effect (PE) are still elusive. To reveal the role of residue quality and quantity in SOM priming, we applied two rates (5.4–10.8 g kg−1) of 13C-labeled wheat residues (separately: leaves, stems, roots) to soil and incubated for 120 days. To distinguish P

Heart rate variability during hemodialysis and its relation to hypotension

Acute hypotensive episodes are common during dialysis sessions, and represent a serious problem. Spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) and barorrefle x sensitivity (BRS) is performed to study the behaviour of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) during the hemodialysis. The ratio between the low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) power of HRV, as well as BRS in the HF band, are signi

Från evidensbaserad medicin till kliniskt kunskapsstöd

Allmänmedicin är ett brett område som spänner över många sjukdomstillstånd, med fokus på patientcentrering. Inom många områden sker en snabb kunskapsutveckling och rekommendationer för utrednings- och behandlingsstrategier uppdateras hela tiden. För en allmänläkare kan det vara svårt att hålla sig uppdaterad och tidsbrist begränsar möjligheterna att leta kunskap i det dagliga kliniska arbetet. Dig

The virtues and limitations of exploring the eco-evolutionary dynamics of sexually selected traits

Most studies on eco-evolutionary feedbacks concern the influence of abiotic factors, or predator–prey and host–parasite interactions, while studies involving sexual interactions are lagging behind. This is at odds with the potential of these interactions to engage in such processes. Indeed, there is now ample evidence that sexual selection is affected by ecological change and that sexually selecte

Bottom buoyancy layer in an ice‐covered lake

Field data on temperature and salt content structure in the vicinity of the bottom boundary in an ice‐covered lake are analyzed. A bottom boundary layer is identified, characterized by rapid increases in both temperature and salt concentration and having a thickness of ∼1 dm with respect to temperature and 2–4 cm with respect to salt content. A simple analytical model of the temperature distributi
