This thesis makes a contribution the econometrics of panel data with cross-section dependence (CSD). It consists of five self-contained papers. The most popular approach to account for CSD is to attribute the co-movements of observed variables across entities to unobserved common factors and to estimate these factors via simple cross-section averages of the data. The chapters in this thesis invest
Spectral induced polarization is a well-established geophysical method that can be measured in both time- and frequency domain. Time- and frequency domain methods are theoretically equivalent via the Fourier transform. However, data acquisition parameters such as the sampling frequency and pulse length affect the actual spectral content of real time domain waveforms. Comparative studies showing th
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether a prime-boost vaccination strategy, i.e., a dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) and a dose of 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23), enhances antibody response compared to single PCV dose in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases treated with different immunosuppressive drugs and controls. METHODS: Patients receiving rituximab (n = 30), abatacept (n
Aims/hypothesis: Non-Western immigrants to Europe are at high risk for type 2 diabetes. In this nationwide study including incident cases of type 2 diabetes, the aim was to compare all-cause mortality (ACM) and cause-specific mortality (CSM) rates in first- and second-generation immigrants with native Swedes. Methods: People living in Sweden diagnosed with new-onset pharmacologically treated type
The problem of antibiotic resistance is rising continuously, creating a warning signal that calls for finding alternatives. Not only that, but there is also a rising demand for natural food preservatives. The pharmaceutical and food industry sectors are working on fulfilling these needs. This thesis is exploring possible solutions to these issues. The research studies presented here introduce the
Context. Although more than 2000 brown dwarfs have been detected to date, mainly from direct imaging, their characterisation is difficult due to their faintness and model-dependent results. In the case of transiting brown dwarfs, however, it is possible to make direct high-precision observations.Aims: Our aim is to investigate the nature and formation of brown dwarfs by adding a new well-character
BACKGROUND: We investigated the potential associations between cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) levels of phosphorylated tau (P-tau) and total tau (T-tau) with short-term response to cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment, longitudinal outcome and progression rates in Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: This prospective, observational study included 129 participants clinically diagnosed with mild-to-m
Background: Optimal follow-up (FU) strategy to detect potentially curable (PC) recurrences after treatment of localised clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is unclear. This study retrospectively analysed a large international database to determine recurrence patterns and overall survival (OS), as part of a wider project to issue recommendations on FU protocols. Objective: To analyse associatio
This thesis studies the efforts made by society to achieve more efficient energy use in order to better utilise resources and lessen the stress on the environment. Despite the value to society promised by more efficient energy use, too few attempts are made at realising this value. One instrument available to governments in their efforts to stimulate efficiency schemes, is to encourage energy comp
Conceptual design is the first phase in the design process in which all the requirements and design objectives are synthesized into conceptual alternatives. In practice today, major decisions regarding the buildings geometry, massing, and overall form are usually made during the first phase. Considering structural performance requirements during conceptual design enhances interdisciplinary interac
I denna uppsats presenteras beskattningen av bostadsrätter och ägarlägenheter. Dessutom undersöks huruvida beskattningen kan sägas vara neutral mellan de båda boendeformerna. Beskattningen av bostadsrätter sker på både individ- och föreningsnivå. Den skiljer sig åt beroende på hur bostadsrättsföreningen klassificeras skatterättsligt. Det kan antingen vara tal om ett s.k. äkta privatbostadsföretag
The growing energy prices and energy consumption caused the interest about buildings with low energy consumption such as Passive house. Energy demand in households accounts for around one forth of the final energy needs in the EU (Intelligent Energy Europe 2006), and it is a potential for energy demand reduction. At the same time, environment protection with a reduction of CO2 emissions nowadays i
Texo AB is a private company which is specialized on development of looms for production of paper machine clothing. The company is located to Älmhult in southern Sweden and today employs about 90 persons. The calculation job treats 4 independent tasks, of which 3 is dealing with the same type of machine which is almost at the prototype state at the moment. The new machine TC 74 is a cam controlled
INTRODUCTION: There are few recent studies on trends over time in functional outcome and mortality after stroke, with results separately presented for ischaemic stroke (IS) or ICH. We aimed to determine temporal changes in functional outcome and case-fatality 90 days after IS and ICH in Sweden between 2010 and 2019. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We included patients (≥18 years) with first-ever IS or ICH r
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is one of the fastest-evolving human pathogens. Understanding HIV-1 transmission, within-host adaptation, and evolutionary dynamics is pivotal for development of interventions and vaccines. HIV-1 infection is generally caused by a single transmitted founder virus (TFV), and TFV sequences are typically obtained using single genome amplificatio
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: MicroRNAs are potential predictors and mediators of metabolic disease. Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is the most common comorbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF). Here we aimed to investigate serum microRNAs in individuals with CF and differing glucose tolerance status. Specifically, we hypothesised that the circulating microRNA profile varies depending on glucose tolerance st
PURPOSE: To estimate the effect of dexamethasone eye drops on the risk of progression from type 2 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) to ROP requiring traditional treatments.DESIGN: Register-based cohort study.PARTICIPANTS: Preterm infants born before 30 weeks' gestation from 2015-2018 (control years) and from 2020-2021 (intervention years) registered in the Swedish Quality Register for ROP at 4 Swed
