Aim: To explore the perceived threat of the risk of graft rejection and its relationship to psychological general well-being and self-efficacy 1–5 years after lung transplantation. Design: A nationwide, cross-sectional cohort study as a part of the Self-management after thoracic transplantation study. Methods: A total of 117 lung transplant recipients due for their yearly follow-up one (N = 35), t

Bile acids (BAs) are known to be involved in cholesterol metabolism but interactions between the diet, BA profiles, gut microbiota and lipid metabolism have not been extensively explored. In the present study, primary and secondary BAs including their glycine and taurine-conjugated forms were quantified in serum of Apoe−/− mice by protein precipitation followed by reversed phase ultra-high-perform

This paper presents an injection-locked 65-nm CMOS circuit that upconverts and power amplifies baseband signals to RF. The circuit delivers an RF output power of 28.7 dBm, with a power gain and maximum power added efficiency (PAE) of 20.6 dB and 68.1%, respectively. Both AM–AM-conversion and AM–PM-conversion are low, less than 1 dB and 1°, respectively, resulting in an EVM of 4.7% for Long Term Ev

Ordet pekoral förekommer inte sällan som koncept och slagträ i kulturdebatten, men ofta utan att det framgår vad det är för något, till exempel att det finns olika sorter – vanliga pekoral, ädelpekoral och pekoralpastischer. Antologin "Tre sekler av svenska pekoral" är en utvidgad version av det verk med samma titel som i april 2018 publicerades på Litteraturbanken.se. Textsamlingen är tänkt att f

Den pågående expansionen av järnvägstransporter, för både personresor och varutransporter, gör att den rälsbundna trafiken ökar kraftigt. I samband med att personresor och pendling med tåg och järnväg ökar sker också en expansion av antalet mer eller mindre slutna stationsmiljöer under mark. Dessa miljöer kan innebära en hälsorisk genom kombinationen av slutna utrymmen och höga halter av luftburna

The existence of a counterexample to the infinite-dimensional Carleson embedding theorem has been established by Nazarov, Pisier, Treil, and Volberg. We provide an explicit construction of such an example. We also obtain a non-constructive example of particularly simple form; the density function of the measure (with respect to a certain weighted area measure) is the tensor-square of a Hilbert spa

Sidewall proximity, characterized by the gap distance (G) between border pin-fin column and sidewall in a pin-finned microchannel with in-line arrangement, plays a significant role on pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics. To better understand the thermal performance and explore the underlying mechanisms, a comprehensive comparison is numerically developed among three representative micr

In this study, we present the development of a mobile system to measure real-world total respiratory tract deposition of inhaled ambient black carbon (BC). Such information can be used to supplement the existing knowledge on air pollution-related health effects, especially in the regions where the use of standard methods and intricate instrumentation is limited. The study is divided in two parts.
