Childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors may be at risk for a severe course of COVID-19. Little is known about the clinical course of COVID-19 in CAYA cancer survivors, or if additional preventive measures are warranted. We established a working group within the International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group (IGHG) to summarize existing evidence

Sociologicial analyses of artistic practice have long drawn on theoretical traditions grounded in binaries and dualisms. Such analytical strategies, exemplified here by field theoretical approaches, center art objects and their movements in and across markets, where binaristic visions of art worlds do offer significant leverage. But when the analyst moves away from markets for art objects and look

Pregnancy leads to adaptations for maternal and fetal energy needs. The cardiovascular system bears the brunt of the adaptations as the heart and vessels enable nutrient supply to maternal organs facilitated by the placenta to the fetus. The components of the cardiovascular system are critical in the balance between maternal homeostatic and fetus driven homeorhetic regulation. Since lipids interse

Preclinical assessment of the therapeutic potential of dopamine (DA) neuron replacement in Parkinson's disease (PD) has primarily been performed in the 6-hydroxydopamine toxin model. While this is a good model to assess graft function, it does not reflect the pathological features or progressive nature of the disease. In this study, we establish a humanized transplantation model of PD that better

The problem investigated in this paper is the one of finding the optimal combination of inventory and options in a stationary multi-period problem with an infinite horizon. The research complements existing literature as it considers the combination of option and wholesale contracts. The paper show how the problem can be transformed to a combination of newsvendor type problems. This alternative in

BACKGROUND: The impact of hearing loss on the individual and his/her everyday life can be assessed using questionnaires with the purpose to improve rehabilitation quality. The Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB) can be used to evaluate disability in everyday life associated with hearing loss. Previous studies have examined APHAB outcomes in sensorineural hearing loss and we do not k

We have investigated the possibilities to quantify how much stars move in theMilkyWay disc due to diffuse processes (blurring) and due to influences from spiral arms and the bar (churning). We assume that the formation radius of a star can be inferred if we know its elemental abundances and age and the metallicity profile of the interstellar medium at the time of the star's formation. We use data

DN DEBATT 2/2. Även om regleringen av läkemedel i Sverige är effektiv, tyder mycket på att förekomsten av förfalskade läkemedel tilltar. Ett nytt EU-direktiv som träder i kraft nästa vecka ska förhindra spridning av förfalskade läkemedel. Det skapar förutsättningar för att spåra och stoppa farliga produkter, skriver forskaren Susanne Lundin.

This study assesses the trade-offs between the conflicting objectives of reducing heating intensity and increasing daylight utilization in the context of Swedish residential spaces, specifically for a north oriented bedroom. The optimization process is conducted within the visual programming environment of Grasshopper, where the simulation engines of Energyplus, Radiance and Daysim are interconnec

Nanofiltration is nowadays established in many industries for the separation and purification of aqueous solutions. The maximum operating temperature of commercial nanofiltration membrane is often given with 50 – 60 ºC based on the three-layer structure of membranes consisting of a polyester or polypropylene support paper with a polysulphone support layer and an active layer of polyamide. Operatin

A new actor has been (re)introduced into family practices in Sweden: the nanny. Previous ways of organizing care for children (mainly through publicly funded daycare) are today being complemented by a growing private market for childcare, often performed by migrant women. In our research project Care for children in an era of private market service we study the practice of doing care and family in
