Cardiovascular Risk Factors Associated with Venous Thromboembolism

Importance: It is uncertain to what extent established cardiovascular risk factors are associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objective: To estimate the associations of major cardiovascular risk factors with VTE, ie, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Design, Setting, and Participants: This study included individual participant data mostly from essentially population-based cohort

Flowering resources distract pollinators from crops : Model predictions from landscape simulations

Enhancing floral resources is a widely accepted strategy for supporting wild bees and promoting crop pollination. Planning effective enhancements can be informed with pollination service models, but these models should capture the behavioural and spatial dynamics of service-providing organisms. Model predictions, and hence management recommendations, are likely to be sensitive to these dynamics. W

The need to collect, aggregate, and analyze global anesthesia and surgery data

In the Sustainable Development Goals era, there is a new awareness of the need for an integrated approach to healthcare interventions and a strong commitment to Universal Health Coverage. To achieve the goal of strengthening entire health systems, surgery, as a crosscutting treatment modality, is indispensable. For any health system strengthening exercise, baseline data and longitudinal monitoring

Toward a unified theory of language development: The transdisciplinary nexus of cognitive and sociocultural perspectives on social activity

As applied linguistics becomes increasingly diverse in the topics, methods, and theories within its scope, the field has more potential than ever to reach a truly holistic and integrated understanding of language development and meaning-making across the lifespan. Perhaps the greatest challenge to attaining this goal is the building of knowledge in parallel across respective areas of specializatio

In-situ understanding of pore nucleation and growth in polyurethane foams by using real-time synchrotron X-ray tomography

The nucleation and growth of pores in PU foams have been visualized and quantified for the first time in 4D using in-situ tomographic microscopy. Acquiring sequences of 3D images in 156 ms each, we describe homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation and subsequent bubble growth dynamics for materials with and without nucleating nanoparticles. Exploiting the time resolved tomographic sequences we obt

Effect of bile salt on amylase release from rat pancreatic acini

The effect of different bile salts on amylase release from isolated rat pancreatic acini has been studied. The bile salt-stimulated discharge of amylase could be divided into three situations, depending on the concentration of bile salt. At low concentrations, between 1 and 100 X 10(-6)M, there was a slight increase in amylase secretion, 5-7% of total, which varied with the type of bile salt but w

Inhabiting institutions: Shaping the first teacher role in Swedish schools

This study examines a recent reform in the Swedish teaching profession—the so-called first teacher reform, aimed at increasing teacher professionalism and the status of teachers. The reform created a situation by which a new role had to be created and inhabited by first teachers, appointed on what were considered arbitrary criteria. There were few existing norms, rules, and routines to draw upon f

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 promotes tolerogenic dendritic cells with functional migratory properties in NOD mice

The biologically active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], is able to promote the generation of tolerogenic mature dendritic cells (mDCs) with an impaired ability to activate autoreactive T cells. These cells could represent a reliable tool for the promotion or restoration of Ag-specific tolerance through vaccination strategies, for example in type 1 diabetes patients. Howe

Risk factors for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage

Background and Aims: Results from prior studies of risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are inconsistent. Few studies have investigated risk factors measured before the event and separately for different locations of ICH. We investigated risk factors for incident ICH in the population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. Method: Baseline information, assessed by a questionnaire and in a

A Nordic Verfremdung : Bertolt Brecht's Exile in Denmark, Sweden and Finland 1933–1941

The essay gives a brief account of Brecht’s years of exile in Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Central to this story were his close relations with a number of cultural figures in the Nordic countries. The essay also discusses the way Brecht’s writing was transformed during his Nordic exile. It focuses on the fact that he wrote some of his best-known plays and developed his famous theory of Verfremdung
