Nurses’ work-related stress during the Covid-19 pandemicNagel C. Nilsson K. BackgroundDuring the Coronavirus pandemic, healthcare workers and primarily the nurses, were on the frontline. Many nurses have had to face exposure and facing higher risks to their own health. It is known that stress is a factor that can contribute to mental health issues and an increased turnover intention. Objective Thi

Pseudo-Random Injections (PRIs) have been used in several applications in symmetric-key cryptography, such as in the idealization of Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) schemes, building robust AEAD, and, recently, in converting a committing AEAD scheme into a succinctly committing AEAD scheme. In Crypto 2024, Bellare and Hoang showed that if an AEAD scheme is already committing,

IntroductionBeta-lactam antibiotics are essential in the treatment of Gram-negative bloodstream infections. The effect of beta-lactam antibiotics depends on the time of unbound antibiotic concentration above the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). An antibiotic concentration above MIC during the whole dosing interval (100% ƒT > MIC) has been suggested as a target for severe infections. The aim

MOTIVATION: Missing data present a pervasive challenge in data analysis, potentially biasing outcomes and undermining conclusions if not addressed properly. Missing data are commonly classified into Missing Completely at Random (MCAR), Missing at Random (MAR), and Missing Not at Random (MNAR). While MCAR poses a minimal risk of data distortion, both MAR and MNAR can seriously affect the results of

Achieving sustainable rural land systems, including farms and forestry, is essential to achieve the European Union’s goal of fair and healthy food systems while becoming climate-neutral and halting biodiversity loss. Here we quantitatively assess the environmental and socioeconomic sustainability of rural land systems in Europe using spatial hotspot analyses based on 15 environmental and 9 social

BACKGROUND: Preterm infants are susceptible to hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, conditions which may lead to adverse neurodevelopment. The use of continuous glucose monitoring devices (CGM) might help keeping glucose levels in the normal range, and reduce the need for blood sampling. However, the use of CGM might be associated with harms in the preterm infant. OBJECTIVES: Objective one: to assess t

Genomic rearrangements in cancer cells can create gene fusions where the juxtaposition of two different genes leads to the production of chimeric proteins or altered gene expression through promoter-swapping. We have previously shown that fusion transcripts involving microRNA (miRNA) host genes contribute to deregulation of miRNA expression regardless of the protein-coding potential of these trans

Background: Optimisation of dopaminergic therapy may alleviate fluctuation-related pain in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Opicapone (OPC) is a third-generation, once-daily catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor shown to be generally well tolerated and efficacious in reducing OFF-time in two pivotal trials in patients with PD and end-of-dose motor fluctuations. The OpiCapone Effect on motor fluctuations

Background: Traumatic peripheral nerve injury is common and incurs significant cost to individuals and society. Healing following direct nerve repair or repair with autograft is slow and can be incomplete. Several bioengineered nerve wraps or devices have become available as an alternative to direct repair or autologous nerve graft. Nerve wraps attempt to reduce axonal escape across a direct repai

Online measurements of the raw gas composition, including tars and water, during biomass gasification provide valuable information in fundamental investigations and for process control. Mainly consisting of hydrocarbons, tars can, in principle, be measured using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. However, an instrument subjected to raw gas runs the risk of condensation of tars on opt

Objectives: To examine the risk of fractures in a cohort of patients with newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA), compared to the background population, and predictors of fractures detectable early in RA. Methods: An inception cohort of patients with RA (N = 233; 164 women/69 men, recruited 1995–2005) was evaluated according to a structured program, including repeated clinical assessments and m

This thesis concerns the refugee debate in Denmark. The study is a comparative case study in order to examine different aspects of the refugee debate. The aim of the study is to investigate the different approaches with focus on the reactions to the movement of refugees in 2015 and the war in Ukraine in 2022. The study aims to highlight how the refugees are portrayed in the Danish debate and explo

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand what impact social media influencers have on consumers' online behaviour. We further aim to understand the interrelationship between social media influencers and online impulse buying behaviour. Methodology: This study has utilised a qualitative methodology based on a social constructionist philosophical position. The study has adopte

This paper evaluates the Swedish school reform that was implemented in 1992, at upper secondary school level. The reform implies that independent schools are welcome to compete on the school market and are publicly funded. This reform has led to an increase in the share of students attending independent schools. Several estimations are performed in this paper on what impact this increase of compet

Gaming disorder (GD) is an addictive disorder with health and social impacts recognized by the World Health Organization. Although the GD treatment evidence base appear to favor cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), knowledge of its common practice elements is limited. This systematic review critically evaluates CBT interventions for GD, encompassing individual, group, and mixed approaches, to ident

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between metformin use and incident osteoarthritis (OA) in people with diabetes and the impact of dosing. DESIGN: Nested case-control study within a cohort of >1.4 million individuals from Sweden. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were aged 35-80 years in 2005, without diabetes or OA. We identified persons with incident diabetes between 2006 and 2016 and excluded tho

When converting electric power from AC to DC, a 12-pulse converter is often used. Unfortunately, the converter creates harmonics superimposed on the DC voltage. These are removed by filters. A passive filter is normally used, but active filters may be added for improved performance. However, the drift in component values due to fluctuations in temperature and the change in load, makes it difficult

Objective:The relationship between fatigue and cognition has not been fully elucidated in children and adolescent survivors of brain tumours. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential relationship between fatigue and cognitive impairments in these survivors, as this group is at risk for both types of deficits.Methods:Survivors of paediatric brain tumours (n = 45) underwent a ne
