Lasting Effects of an Import Shock: Channels of Adjustment

This paper exploits a quasi-natural experiment to study the channels of labor market adjustment to an import shock. Using matched employer-employee data from Sweden, I study workers' adjustment after the removal of quotas set out by the Multi-Fiber Arrangement for Chinese producers upon China's entry into the WTO. I find evidence of substantial losses in terms of earnings and employment. Sectoral

Self-versus Proxy-Reported Pain in Children with Cerebral Palsy : A Population-Based Registry Study of 3783 Children

Objective: To assess how the prevalence of pain in a population-based sample of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) differ based on self- or proxy reporting. Methods: This cross-sectional registry study included 3783 children (58% boys), 1 to 18 years old, enrolled in the Swedish follow-up program for CP. Logistic regression was used to regress source of reporting (self or proxy) on

”I don’t want to be paid for being a refugee!” A CMES seminar on Syrians in the Öresund Region

On Friday June 10 2016, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at Lund University arranged a seminar devoted to explore refugee experiences among Syrians in the Öresund region. Organizers were CMES researchers Dalia Abdelhady and Joshka Wessels.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy principles and practical use in materials analysis

The X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) with its subregions X-ray Absorption Near-edge Structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) is a powerful tool for the structural analysis of materials, which is nowadays a standard component of research strategies in many fields. This review covers a wide range of topics related to its measurement and use: the origin of the fine

Microscopic colitis and its associations with complications observed in classic inflammatory bowel disease : a systematic review

Objectives: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are associated with an increased risk to develop anemia, cutaneous diseases, liver diseases, malignancy, osteoporosis, rheumatic diseases, thromboembolism and uveitis. The association between these diseases and microscopic colitis (MC) is not known. The aim of the present systematic review was to examine associations between MC and diseases observ

Novel Coronavirus Infection (COVID-19) in Humans : A Scoping Review and Meta-Analysis

A growing body of literature on the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is becoming available, but a synthesis of available data has not been conducted. We performed a scoping review of currently available clinical, epidemiological, laboratory, and chest imaging data related to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, Scopus and LILACS from 01 January 2019 to 24 Feb

Cytokines and Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling in prostate cancer : overview and therapeutic opportunities

The Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway was originally identified as a key cellular mechanism mediating the action of cytokines, interferons, and growth factors for the control of gene expression. Extracellular signals mediated by cytokines are thus transduced through this pathway into transcriptional programs that regulate cell growth, differentiatio

Improved usability of pedestrian environments after dark for people with vision impairment : An intervention study

Walking is an important transport mode for sustainable cities, but the usability of pedestrian environments for people with impaired vision is very limited after dark. This study compares the usability of a walkway, operationalized in terms of (i) the pedestrian's ability to orient themselves and detect infrastructure elements, and (ii) the perceived quality of lighting in the environment (evaluat

Migrating birds rapidly increase constitutive immune function during stopover

Migratory flight is physiologically highly demanding and has been shown to negatively affect multiple parameters of constitutive immune function (CIF), an animal’s first line of physiological defence against infections. In between migratory flights, most birds make stopovers, periods during which they accumulate fuel for the next flight(s). Stopovers are also commonly thought of as periods of rest

The transformation by catalysis of prebiotic chemical systems to useful biochemicals : A perspective based on IR spectroscopy of the primary chemicals: I. the synthesis of peptides by the condensation of amino acids

It is now widely speculated that life originated at the "Black Smokers" of the undersea hydrothermal vents, where conditions exist for the formation of the primary ingredients and their subsequent transformation to higher biotic species such as amino acids, alcohols, etc. Any possible routes for the prebiotic oligomerization of simple compounds like amino acids, necessary for cell formation, has s

How do companies collaborate for circular oriented innovation?

Collaborative innovation is necessary to explore and implement circular economy strategies. Yet, empirical investigations into such collaborations are scarce. It is unclear whether the circular context creates differences or represents adaptions within how collaborative innovation is conducted. We draw upon strategic management and open innovation literature to highlight what is known about collab

Application of SLIPI-based techniques for droplet size, concentration, and liquid volume fraction mapping in sprays

Structured laser illumination planar imaging (SLIPI)-based techniques have been employed during the past decade for addressing multiple light scattering issues in spray imaging. In this article, SLIPI droplet sizing based on the intensity ratio of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) over Mie scattering (SLIPI-LIF/Mie) and SLIPI-Scan for extinction-coefficient (μe) mapping are applied simultaneously.
