This thesis investigates a hitherto under-researched topic in Septuagint studies, the Septuagint neologisms, that is, the words which are first attested in the Septuagint, taking as a case in point a deuterocanonical/apocryphal book originally written in Greek, the Second Book of Maccabees (2 Maccabees). The thesis first examines how the neologisms have so far been treated in Septuagint studies
Objectives: To evaluate whether anthropometric parameters add to PSA measurements in middle-aged men for risk assessment of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis and death. Results: After adjusting for PSA, both BMI and weight were significantly associated with an increased risk of PCa death with the odds of a death corresponding to a 10 kg/m2 or 10 kg increase being 1.58 (95% CI 1.10, 2.28; p = 0.013)
Impaired cerebral energy metabolism may be a major contributor to the secondary injury cascade that occurs following traumatic brain injury (TBI). To estimate the cortical energy metabolic state following mild and severe controlled cortical contusion (CCC) TBI in rats, ipsi-and contralateral cortical tissues were frozen in situ at 15 and 40 min post-injury and adenylate (ATP, ADP, AMP) levels were
Retail and place have always been in a dynamic interrelation throughout the history. However particularly in the last three decadesthere have been some radical shifts in the outcomes of this interrelationship. The spatial formation of stores, shopping streets,malls, and in turn, cities have dramatically changed. These contemporary shifts, formations and transformations in the retailgeographies hav
In this paper, a discussion is undertaken concerning the use of so-called floating frames of reference in the calculation of the kinetic and elastic energies of parts in a multibody system. The use of floating frames may simplify the calculation of the elastic energy, although sometimes at the expense of more elaborate expressions for the kinetic energy. These expressions may involve terms that co
BACKGROUND: Given the identity between Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MenB) capsular polysaccharide (polysialic acid; PSA) and PSA found on neural cell adhesion molecules, it has been proposed that infection with MenB or vaccination with PSA may be associated with subsequent autoimmune or neurological disease.METHODS: We conducted 2 studies. The first was a retrospective nationwide study of i
In the sporadic permafrost zone of North America, thaw‐induced boreal forest loss is leading to permafrost‐free wetland expansion. These land cover changes alter landscape‐scale surface properties with potentially large, however, still unknown impacts on regional climates. In this study, we combine nested eddy covariance flux tower measurements with satellite remote sensing to characterize the imp
There is growing evidence of ongoing changes in the statistics of intra-seasonal rainfall variability over large parts of the world. Changes in annual total rainfall may arise from shifts, either singly or in a combination, of distinctive intra-seasonal characteristics -i.e. rainfall frequency, rainfall intensity, and rainfall seasonality. Understanding how various ecosystems respond to the change
Over the past couple of decades, considerable advances in automation and high-throughput omics technologies have contributed to the generation of unprecedented amounts of molecular data, challenging the traditional “one size fits all” approach in favour of personalised medicine, where the individual needs of patients are addressed.However, the speed at which such molecular data is being acquired d
Technical developments have paved the way for the development of ultrasensitive analytical methods that allow for precise quantification of brain-specific proteins in blood samples. Plasma levels of amyloid β, specifically the Aβ42/40 ratio, are reduced in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and show concordance with brain amyloidosis assessed by PET, but the overlap with normal elderly may be too large for
Background: The PI*S variant is one of the most prevalent mutations within alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). The risk of developing AATD-related lung disease in individuals with the PI*SS genotype is poorly defined despite its substantial prevalence. Our study aimed to characterize this genotype and its risk for lung disease and compare it with the PI*ZZ and PI*SZ genotypes using data from th
While many religious institutions promote hetero- and cis-normative notions of sex, gender, and sexuality, not all LGBTQIA+ people leave religion and not all people who practice religion are straight and cis-gendered. In my research, I explore the lived experiences of queer Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Sweden through on- and offline ethnographic fieldwork aiming to gain insight into how religi
Aims Short-term ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is often used to assess premature atrial complex (PAC) and premature ventricular complex (PVC) frequency, but the diagnostic reliability is unknown. The objective of this study was to study the day-to-day variability of PAC and PVC frequency. Methods We used 14-day full-disclosure mobile cardiac telemetry recordings without atrial fibri
Background: Myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) and exercise electrocardiography (Ex-ECG) results are of prognostic importance for short-term follow up duration. However, the value of MPS or Ex-ECG findings for long-term risk assessment is less evident as underlying risk factors for ischemic heart disease (IHD) gain in importance. Objectives: To assess the short- and long-term prognostic value of MPS
Emotion dysregulation and psychological inflexibility are widely regarded as key contributors to a range of mental health issues and are integral to several treatment models in the mental health field. However, no study has examined whether the two constructs reflect distinct aspects of psychological functioning or whether they can be clearly differentiated from mental health symptoms and associat
OBJECTIVE: To explore trajectories of 12-week adherence to a digital education and exercise therapy for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA), associations with baseline characteristics, and trajectories of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) up to 1-year follow-up.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort (registry) study.METHODS: Weekly data on adherence (i.e. the percentage of completed activities (exerc
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to scrutinize the connection between creativity and innovation in the context of public healthcare. This is achieved by applying the theoretical concept of employee-driven innovation (EDI) to explore employees’ perceptions of their creative engagement in innovation processes, as well as to capture the managerial implications of setting up such processes in the
