- BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that botulinum toxin A (BONT-A) is a safe and effective treatment in relieving pain in patients with persistent idiopathic dentoalveolar pain (PIDP).OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to systematically evaluate all the available studies investigating the pain-relieving effects of BONT-A in patients with PIDP.METHODS: A systematic search with specific search terms was made in PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. Two authors screened titles and abstracts and selected eligible studies for inclusion in the systematic review. The quality of the studies was evaluated by the 12 items Quality Assessment Tool for Observational studies (Pre-Post) Studies with No Control Group, and the level of evidence was assessed according to GRADE.RESULTS: Three observational studies of 3695 identified were included (445 overlapping studies; 3247 excluded studies). All studies were uncontrolled observational studies investigating the pain-relieving effect of BONT-A in patients with PIDP. The included studies had a fair quality (moderate risk of bias) and insufficient level of evidence. The pain reducing effect by BONT-A injections was in average 50% or more in two studies, in one study 3 out of 4 patients became almost pain free.CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review shows that presently the level of scientific evidence is insufficient to evaluate the pain-relieving effect of BONT-A injections in patients with PIDP. There are indications that BONT-A injections could be a possible management option for patients with PIDP that seems to be safe and with few adverse events. There is a need for well-designed placebo-controlled, double-blind RCTs.

- Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait-based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits-almost complete coverage for 'plant growth form'. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait-environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives.

Accountability in Swedish Political Parties? Survey evidence of misconduct and whistleblowing
- 2023
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What is the nature of misconduct and whistleblowing in political parties? While there is a large and established literature on the causes and consequences of whistleblowing in many organizational settings, we are yet to understand how these processes work in political parties: organisations that operate at the heart of democracy and are distinctive in their cultural and hierarchical structures. This paper develops expectations for misconduct and whistleblowing in parties from a substantial body of research on whistleblowing from the field of business ethics and supplements this with insights from organizational theory. We then carry out a first attempt to empirically gauge the nature of misconduct and whistleblowing in political parties using a survey of over 1,165 Swedish politicians from the national, regional, and local levels – the Politikerpanel – following the formation of the Swedish government in 2022. The results show that reported misconduct in political parties tends to refer to either serious structural organisational problems, or instances of inappropriate personal conduct. Misconduct is overwhelmingly dealt with internally within parties, through both formal and informal means. However, some types of misconduct – specifically structural issues – are more likely to be reported than others that are potentially more politically costly. These findings give new insight into how frequent misconduct and wrongdoing is in political parties, what the nature of these misconducts are, and what mechanisms are used for addressing them by witnesses and authorities.
