Aims. The Landé g-factor is an important parameter in astrophysical spectropolarimetry, used to characterize the response of a line to a given value of the magnetic field. The purpose of this paper is to present accurate Landé g-factors for states in B II, C I-IV, Al I-II, Si I-IV, P II, S II, Cl III, Ar IV, Ca I, Ti II, Zr III, and Sn II. Methods. The multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock and rel
Using observational data to assess the treatment effects on outcomes of kidney transplantation relative to dialysis for patients on renal replacement therapy is challenging due to the non-random selection into treatment. This study applied the propensity score weighting approach in order to address the treatment selection bias of kidney transplantation on survival time compared with dialysis for p
OBJECTIVE: To describe a novel strategy, Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA) to evaluate hospital performance, by analysing differences in 30-day mortality after a first-ever acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Sweden.DESIGN: Cross-classified study.SETTING: 68 Swedish hospitals.PARTICIPANTS: 43 247 patients admitted between 2007 and 2009, with a fi
Introduction: The Assessment of Learning Powered mobility use (ALP) tool including the ALP instrument and facilitating strategies, was developed for Driving to Learn. This therapeutic intervention aims to provide children and adults who have profound cognitive disabilities with opportunities to learn tool use through powered mobility practise. To allow for longer intervention periods, a partnershi
Whether the E.U. Trade Secrets Directive sufficiently and appropriately covers cutting-edge complex technologies is of critical interest to policy-makers, scientists, and commercial developers alike. One such technology—adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing, or AIRR-seq—raises difficult questions concerning what information is and should be protected under the new Directive, and how to be
Gender equality is widely accepted as an important explanatory factor for the occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. However, the relationship is not straightforward, as high country-level gender equality is not always associated with lower IPV prevalence. We apply ‘multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy’ (MAIHDA) to (i) quantify the exten
In Western societies, with increasingly salient mediation processes, eating, too, has become an entanglement of offline and online practices. Food as carrier of values has never merely satisfied bodily needs, which makes it essential to investigate mediated eating practices and emerging digital foodscapes in order to understand how they change everyday life, but also culture at large. However, mos
Background Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) affects mostly women in childbearing age. Modern management of SLE patients has improved the pregnancy outcomes over the last decades. However, there is still an increased risk of maternal, fetal and neonatal complications. In this longitudinal follow-up of pregnant women affected by SLE, we aimed to investigate which clinical and immunological feature
Objective: To determine the independent impact of different definitions of remission and low disease activity (LDA) on damage accrual. Methods: Patients with ≥2 annual assessments from a longitudinal multinational inception lupus cohort were studied. Five mutually exclusive disease activity states were defined: remission off-treatment: clinical Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (
Background: This study aimed to evaluate whether an increasing grade of obesity is associated with inferior outcomes after lumbar disc herniation (LDH) surgery. Methods: We retrieved data from the Swedish register for spine surgery regarding patients aged 20–64 who underwent LDH surgery from 2006–2016 and had preoperative and one-year postoperative data. A total of 4156 patients were normal weight
