Commentators on Information Systems (IS) education have urged the IS community to develop new and alternative IS curricula. The IS 2002 model curriculum has recently been revised. The new IS 2010 curriculum guidelines for undergraduate degree programs in Information Systems [Topi et al. 2010] has a curriculum structure to accommodate the education of several different professional roles within IS.

A major unanswered question in the dementia field is whether cognitively unimpaired individuals who harbor both Alzheimer's disease neuropathological hallmarks (that is, amyloid-β plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles) can preserve their cognition over time or are destined to decline. In this large multicenter amyloid and tau positron emission tomography (PET) study (n = 1,325), we examined the

Denmark is currently undertaking extensive groundwater mapping surveys in designated water interest areas. The mapping objectives include vulnerability assessments, delineation of existing aquifers, and localization of new deeper lying aquifers. Airborne electromagnetics are employed for regional mapping to depths of hundreds of meters. Resistivity profiling and pulled-array geo-electrics are util

Objective: To screen a general pediatric population for type 1 diabetes (T1D), celiac disease (CD), and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) after home capillary sampling. Methods: Swedish schoolchildren between 6–9 years and 13–16 years of age were invited to screening by taking a capillary sample at home. Samples were returned by mail and assessed for autoantibodies associated with T1D, CD, and AIT

AimsAtrial septal defects (ASDs) lead to volume-loaded right ventricles (RVs). ASD closure does not always alleviate symptoms or improve exercise capacity, which is possibly explained by impaired left ventricular (LV) haemodynamics. This study evaluated the effect of ASD closure in children using non-invasive LV pressure–volume (PV) loops derived from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and b

IMPORTANCE: Perforated colonic diverticulitis usually requires surgical resection, which is associated with significant morbidity. Cohort studies have suggested that laparoscopic lavage may treat perforated diverticulitis with less morbidity than resection procedures. OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes from laparoscopic lavage with those for colon resection for perforated diverticulitis. DESIGN, S

Background: Exertional breathlessness is a cardinal symptom of cardiorespiratory disease. Research Question: How does breathlessness abnormality, graded using normative reference equations during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), relate to self-reported and physiologic responses in people with chronic airflow limitation (CAL)? Study Design and Methods: An analysis was done of people aged ≥

The Ph.D. dissertation consists of three connected, yet independent research articles, which focus on the implementation of circular economy principles in public procurement. Motivated by a curiosity for dynamics in processes of implementation I chose to investigate how actors related to processes of public procurement can implement the circular economy principles as a default. The aim of the diss

This paper studies the nexus between income and wealth inequality, and the ecological footprint in the United States and France from 1962 to 2021. Based on theoretical considerations, we allow the relationship to vary over time. We find some support for income inequality affecting the ecological footprint in the United States and that the relationship has changed over time. We find no such result

There is limited understanding of how education initiatives geared toward faculty and support staff can foster a capacity for long-term and integrated societal engagement and collaboration within higher education institutions. Using the experiences from a cross-disciplinary pilot course in Sweden, the current study aims to identify features that explicate how skills and academic rigor for engaging

Objective: This study was undertaken to develop and characterize a multiplex immunoassay for detection of autoantibodies against peptides derived from proteins known to play a role in development of arthritis and that are also expressed in joints. Methods: We selected peptides from the human counterpart of proteins expressed in the joints, based on mouse models that showed these to be targeted by

The marine environment, contains plentiful renewable resources, e.g. macroalgae with unique polysaccharides, motivating search for enzymes from marine microorganisms to explore conversion possibilities of the polysaccharides. In this study, the first GH17 glucanosyltransglycosylase, MlGH17B, from a marine bacterium (Muricauda lutaonensis), was characterized. The enzyme was moderately thermostable

Methanol (CH3OH) is an attractive alternative fuel that can reduce net carbon release and decrease pollutant emissions. In this study, methanol and n-dodecane spray flames were investigated using Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) and direct coupling with finite-rate chemistry. The selected ambient conditions are relevant to engines and were previously unreported for numerical methanol spray studies, i.e

Leveraging the potential of machine learning and recognizing the broad applications of binary classification, it becomes essential to develop platforms that are not only powerful but also transparent, interpretable, and user friendly. We introduce alphaML, a user-friendly platform that provides clear, legible, explainable, transparent, and elucidative (CLETE) binary classification models with comp

As of 2023, Human Rights is one of Lund University’s five profile areas. One aim of the Human Rights profile area is to strengthen interlinkages between research and education in the field of human rights and to facilitate collaboration between courses and education programmes at Lund University that explicitly or implicitly focus on human rights. This report is concerned with the latter of those As of 2023, Human Rights is one of Lund University’s five profile areas.

BACKGROUND: Medium vessel occlusions (MeVO) can be either isolated events (primary), or secondary to thrombus migration from a large vessel occlusion to a medium-sized vessel. Outcomes following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) may differ between primary and secondary MeVOs. This study aimed to assess the association between primary/secondary MeVOs and clinical o
