Neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia : A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) reportedly has neurologic consequences in childhood however little is known about the impact in isolated CDH. Aims: Herein we aimed to describe the risk of neurodevelopmental complications in children born with isolated CDH. Materials & Methods: We systematically reviewed literature for reports on the neurological outcome of infants born with i

Adding leaves to the Lepidoptera tree : capturing hundreds of nuclear genes from old museum specimens

Museum collections around the world contain billions of specimens, including rare and extinct species. If their genetic information could be retrieved at a large scale, this would dramatically increase our knowledge of genetic and taxonomic diversity information, and support evolutionary, ecological and systematic studies. We here present a target enrichment kit for 2953 loci in 1753 orthologous n

European Resuscitation Council and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine guidelines 2021 : post-resuscitation care

The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) have collaborated to produce these post-resuscitation care guidelines for adults, which are based on the 2020 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Science with Treatment Recommendations. The topics covered include the post-cardiac arrest syndrome, diagnosis of cause of cardiac a

Long-Term Effects of Childhood Nutrition: Evidence from a School Lunch Reform

We study the long-term impact of a policy-driven change in childhood nutrition. For this purpose, we evaluate a program that rolled out nutritious school lunches free of charge to all pupils in Swedish primary schools between 1959 and 1969. We estimate the impact of the program on children's economic, educational, and health outcomes throughout life. Our results show that the school lunch program

Explaining Ignoring – Working with Information that Nobody Uses

Research has demonstrated how ignorance is made, manipulated and called upon; how it is the result of strategies, activities and structures. This article extends the literature on ignorance by exploring actors’ own explanations of their self-inflicted ignorance following acts of ignoring. By means of a case analysis, we explore how actors explain and justify ignoring data they themselves produced.

Considerations on Performance Evaluation of Atrial Fibrillation Detectors

Objective: A large number of atrial fibrillation (AF) detectors have been published in recent years, signifying that the comparison of detector performance plays a central role, though not always consistent. The aim of this study is to shed needed light on aspects crucial to the evaluation of detection performance. Methods: Three types of AF detector, using either information on rhythm, rhythm and

”Debatten riskerar att förbise bättre och billigare lösningar på elbristfrågan”

Frans Libertson och Jenny Palm skriver om vikten av att nyansera debatten om Sveriges elförsörjning med fler perspektiv på energisystemets utformning. Under det senaste 10 åren har frågan främst diskuterats utifrån ett centraliserat perspektiv, dvs att elproduktionen ska ske i storskaliga anläggningar och att besluten som styr produktionen tas på nationell nivå. Detta snäva fokus riskerar att förb

Genomic epidemiology reveals multiple introductions of SARS-CoV-2 from mainland Europe into Scotland

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first diagnosed in Scotland on 1 March 2020. During the first month of the outbreak, 2,641 cases of COVID-19 led to 1,832 hospital admissions, 207 intensive care admissions and 126 deaths. We aimed to identify the source and number of introductions of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) into Scotland using a combined phylogenetic and

Allt stål måste vara fossilfritt

DEBATT. Frågan om det finns en betalningsvilja för fossilfritt stål är vilseledande. I en ekonomi som når klimatmålen måste allt stål vara fossilfritt oavsett pris. Det skriver några forskare i en replik till ”Är det gröna stålet verkligen grönt” av Henrekson, Sandström och Terjesen 1/4.

Microwave-assisted xylanase reaction : impact in the production of prebiotic xylooligosaccharides

The enzymatic production of prebiotic xylooligosaccharides (XOS) has become an attractive way to valorise lignocellulosic biomass. However, despite numerous xylanases reported for potential use in the production of XOS, most of the family GH10 also produce xylose. This monosaccharide can negatively affect the selectivity to stimulate the growth of intestinal microorganisms beneficial to human heal

Synthesis of novel oligomeric anionic alkyl glycosides using laccase/TEMPO oxidation and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase)‐catalysed transglycosylation

Modification of alkyl glycosides, to alter their properties and widen the scope of potential applications, is of considerable interest. Here, we report the synthesis of new anionic alkyl glycosides with long carbohydrate chains, using two different approaches: laccase/TEMPO oxidation of a long‐carbohydrate‐chain alkyl glycoside, and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase)‐catalysed elongation of

Missions - A Small Step, Or A Giant Leap?

Missions are being discussed widely within the European Union and beyond as a tool to steer policy, innovation, and research. Similar to other missions – to the moon, to cure cancer, and to eradicate smallpox – the missions-oriented approach seeks to set bold and radical goals to tackle our pressing environmental and social challenges.

Control and autonomy: resource dependence relations and non-profit organizations

AbstractPurpose – For non-profit organizations (NPOs) external funding is an essential resource. Studies highlight how control is attributed to funders and so external funding threatens the autonomy of the recipient organization. The purpose of this study is to investigate how external control can be structured and exercised,and to explore how control interacts with organizational autonomy.Design/

Energy Communities: a transition towards a more just energy system?

We use energy in almost every aspect of our lives. Yet, often, we do not know the source of electricity that powers our homes or heats our food. In this episode, we explore energy communities as a form of decentralised and democratic energy production. Community energy sees people coming together to take control of their energy needs, by finding alternative ways to organise and govern the energy sWe use energy in almost every aspect of our lives.

Storytelling for Sustainability

If we want to imagine a more sustainable future, we need to be emotionally connected with that vision. Providing the latest facts and figures alone won’t do the trick. We suggest storytelling can be a great way to convey these facts in a compelling way to envision and connect with a possible future. Stories are an effective narrative device, because they activate areas of the brain responsible for

Sustainable Finance: Investing in Our Future

Sustainable finance, non-financial disclosures, ESG, oh my! The world of sustainable finance may seem dark and scary. But, in this episode, we introduce many key concepts through dialogue as well as discuss how sustainable finance contributes to wider sustainability objectives. The finance sector is playing an ever growing role in supporting the transition to a Paris-aligned world by incorporating

The "Brainy" Bunch: The journey of a PhD student

What happens when you take a bunch of people from different cultural and geographical backgrounds, ask them to integrate under one discipline or department, and share a profound and life-changing experience? In this episode, we unpack some of these stories as we look at the journey of a PhD Student at Lund University. We interview our colleagues Emma Johnson, who is at the start of her PhD journey
