Kyrkligt arbete med fattiga, gåvor och ekonomisk utsatthet

Fattigvårdens bibliska grund, kyrklig historia och utformning i dagens samhälle tecknas av Elinn Leo Sandberg i kapitel 11. Hur ska fattigdom, människor som är fattiga, bemötas i ett välfärdssamhälle och hur bör kyrkan agera?The biblical foundation, church history and design of the work with poverty in today's society is drawn by Elinn Leo Sandberg in chapter 11. How should poverty, people who are poor, be treated in a welfare society and how should the church act?

Type 1 diabetes, cognitive ability and incidence of cardiovascular disease and death over 60 years of follow-up time in men

AIMS: There are few cohorts of type 1 diabetes that follow individuals over more than half a century in terms of health outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine associations between type 1 diabetes, diagnosed before age 18, and long-term morbidity and mortality, and to investigate whether cognitive ability plays a role in long-term morbidity and mortality risk.METHODS: In a Swedish cohort, 1

Tip of the iceberg? Country- and company-level analysis of drug company payments for research and development in Europe

Background Creating new therapies often involves drug companies paying healthcare professionals and institutions for research and development (R&D) activities, including clinical trials. However, industry sponsorship can create conflicts of interests. We analysed approaches to drug company R&D payment disclosure in European countries and the distribution of R&D payments at the country

Measurement of b-quark fragmentation properties in jets using the decay B± → J/ψK± in pp collisions at s√ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The fragmentation properties of jets containing b-hadrons are studied using charged B mesons in 139 fb−1 of pp collisions at s√ = 13 TeV, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC during the period from 2015 to 2018. The B mesons are reconstructed using the decay of B± into J/ψK±, with the J/ψ decaying into a pair of muons. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-kt algorithm with radius parameter

α-synuclein interactions with lipid membranes

α-synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein implicated in synaptic vesicle trafficking at the synapse. Accumulation of α-synuclein in the form of amyloid deposits coincides with the loss of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinsons disease. These deposits, referred to as Lewy Bodies, have been shown to contain membrane lipids together with the α-synuclein amyloid fibrils and other proteins. It was

Quantification of the absorption and scattering effects of diffusers in a room with absorbent ceiling

In ordinary public rooms, such as classrooms and offices, an absorbent ceiling is the typical first acoustic action. This treatment provides a good acoustic baseline. However, an improvement of specific room acoustic parameters, operating for specific frequencies, can be needed. It has been seen that diffusing elements can be effective additional treatment. In order to choose the right design, pla

Evidence for a Causal Relationship between Academic Achievement and Cigarette Smoking

Introduction: Academic achievement (AA) is associated with smoking rates. Can we determine the degree to which this relationship is likely a causal one? Methods: We predict smoking in male conscripts (mean age 18.2) assessed from 1984 to 1991 (N = 233 248) and pregnant females (mean age 27.7) receiving prenatal care 1972-1990 (N = 494 995) from AA assessed in all students at 16. Instrumental varia

Time-Resolved X-ray Diffraction Studies of Laser-Induced Dynamics in Solids

X-ray diffraction is an invaluable tool in the field of structural dynamics. In the work described in this thesis, time-resolved X-ray diffraction experiments were carried out to investigate ultrafast lattice dynamics. Ultrashort laser pulses were used to induce non-thermal melting and large-amplitude strain waves, and X-rays were used to probe these phenomena. Non-thermal melting was studied in i

Uanset hvilken målestok man bruger for en retfærdig fordeling af det globale klimabudget må man konstatere, at den danske klimapolitik er langt fra tilstrækkelig ambitiøs.

Hiring and learning strategies in prosecution services

The chapter provides a comparative overview of current hiring and learning strategies in prosecution services. It draws on empirical examples from all parts of the world. Specifically, the chapter compares the hiring of chief prosecutors and frontline prosecutors, it compares how learning is organized and carried out, and it describes and discusses the most significant individual methods of learni

Optimization of the Sensor-Chip Surface in a Capacitive Biosensor for use in Aflatoxin Assays

The capacitive biosensor technology can be utilized for the analytical detection of a variety of different compounds. By employing the electrical double-layer principle, it is possible to detect very low concentrations of the target analyte due the methods inherent high sensitivity. This affinity-based capacitive biosensor is a powerful tool also for the analytical detection of low molecular weigh

Helsingborg – var fanns den äldsta staden? : Myten om högstaden och urbaniseringen

Already in the 16th century, archbishop Mogens Madsen described the area around the castle on the steep escarpment overlooking the narrowest strait in Öresund, as a vanished Troy. The historian Ludvig Magnus Bååth, who wrote the first academic work on the history of Helsingborg, promoted this narrative of an original urban settlement on the top of the escarpment. The paramount argument for an urba

Mitochondrial redox systems as central hubs in plant metabolism and signaling

Plant mitochondria are indispensable for plant metabolism and are tightly integrated into cellular homeostasis. This review provides an update on the latest research concerning the organization and operation of plant mitochondrial redox systems, and how they affect cellular metabolism and signaling, plant development, and stress responses. New insights into the organization and operation of mitoch

Inflammatory hallmarks of lesser prominence in psoriatic arthritis patients starting biologics : A Nordic population-based cohort study

Objectives: To assess secular trends in baseline characteristics of PsA patients initiating their first or subsequent biologic DMARD (bDMARD) therapy and to explore prescription patterns and treatment rates of bDMARDs from 2006 to 2017 in the Nordic countries. Methods: PsA patients registered in the Nordic rheumatology registries initiating any treatment with bDMARDs were identified. The bDMARDs w

Mortality over 14 years in MTX-refractory patients randomized to a strategy of addition of infliximab or sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine

Objective: To compare mortality risk over up to 14 years of follow-up in methotrexate-refractory patients with early RA randomized to a strategy starting with addition of infliximab vs addition of SSZ and HCQ. Methods: Data was from the two-arm, parallel, randomized, active-controlled, open-label Swefot trial in which patients with early RA (symptom duration

Incidence of extra-articular manifestations in ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and undifferentiated spondyloarthritis : Results from a national register-based cohort study

Objectives: To estimate the incidence and strength of association of extra-articular manifestations [EAMs, here: anterior uveitis (AU), IBD and psoriasis] in patients with AS, undifferentiated SpA (uSpA) and PsA, compared with controls. Methods: Three mutually exclusive cohorts of patients aged 18-69 years with AS (n = 8517), uSpA (n = 10 245) and PsA (n = 22 667) were identified in the Swedish Na
