Diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy (PN) is a common and serious complication of diabetes. The prevalence of PN is rising with the global burden of type 2 diabetes. The causal mechanisms of PN are not fully understood, but both vascular and metabolic factors play a role. New methods of investigating PN need to be correlated with standard methods in well-defined, population-based cohorts. Objective
Wood is one of the oldest building materials, which have recently gained more focus in aneffort to reach net zero emissions. The mechanical properties of wood are dependent on the moisture content, and a high moisture content can also lead to biological attacks from decay fungi. To avoid biological attacks the wood must be protected from moisture, and a traditional method is to pressure impregnate
Purpose: The purpose of this exploratory qualitative research is: First, to explore what brands understand by metaverse and how they perform branding in this new context. Second, to investigate how established constructivist approaches to branding are performed within the metaverse. And finally, to define what decentralized branding is and how it is linked to a decentralized metaverse. Additionall
After hatching, bird chicks are inevitably exposed to the thermal conditions of their environment. For the first stage of development chicks are not yet fully capable of maintaining a stable body temperature. During this time, their thermal environment can cause morphological and physiological priming. The plasticity of these responses and the extent to which they persist in the long-term is not w
The aim of this project was to examine if it is feasible to develop and apply a reuse concept regarding clean in place (CIP) processes. The concept is based on different topics such as lim-itation, structure, future and reliability. Three CIP processes were chosen to represent the wide variety of cleaning processes available to the food and pharmaceutical industries, Single use Food, Recovery Food
Ecosystem services have been widely discussed as of late, and more so than ever, has the topic of resilience and sustainable city planning taken an important role in the debate over how we can meet the present challenges concerning livable cities. The costs and the benefits of urban trees is an important factor in sustainable city planning and their consideration early in the planning stages canno
Purpose: The purpose of this master thesis was to retrospectively investigate correlation between surface and tumour motion in lung cancer patients, alongside deep learning applications of the results. Additional correlations such as age, tumour volume and anatomical placement of the tumour were also investigated. Materials and Methods: 48 lung cancer patients treated with Stereotactic Body Radia
2010 års straffrätts reform initierades som en reaktion på att straffen för de grövsta formerna av misshandel endast dömdes ut i den nedre fjärdedelen av straffskalan. Reformen medförde bl.a. att straffskalan för grov misshandel i 3 kap. 6 § delades upp i två stycken, där andra stycket med en strängare straffskala på fyra till tio år skulle vara tillämplig för synnerligen grova fall. De grövsta faThe criminal reform of 2010 was initiated as a reaction to sentencing levels being concentrated to the lower quarter of the range of punishment for serious cases of assaults. The reform led to the division of the range of punishment for aggravated assault in chapter 3 article 6, to two separate subsections. The second subsection would apply a range of punishment between four to ten years applicabl
Skattelättnadsregeln för medlemmar i oäkta bostadsföretag, som togs bort från och med inkomståret 2016, innebar att de kunde göra ett avdrag på den beskattningsbara bostadsförmånen. I och med borttagandet av denna regel påverkas cirka 5000 privatpersoner av en högre utgift för sitt boende. Att en bostadsrättsförening klassas som ett oäkta bostadsföretag beror ofta på att de har en stor andel lokalUp until recently, members of co-operative housing associations with a high income deriving from non-housing activities could benefit from a tax exemption rule. This rule was last applied in 2015 and meant that a deduction could be made for the taxable housing benefit. With the removal of this rule approximately 5,000 private individuals are affected by a higher cost for their accommodation. When
BACKGROUND: Women with intellectual disabilities face significant barriers to gynecological, reproductive, antenatal, and perinatal care, which may adversely impact maternal and fetal health. Previous research indicates increased risks for gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, caesarean birth, preterm birth, and other complications in pregnant women with intellectual disabilities. However, studies
Background: Body weight and body mass index (BMI) are positively related to risk of colon cancer in men, whereas weak or no associations exist in women. This discrepancy may be related to differences in fat distribution between sexes or to the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in women. Methods: We used multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards models to examine the association betwee
Den 1 januari 2016 skärptes kraven för luftutsläpp från förbränningsanläggningar genom För-ordningen (2013:252) om stora förbränningsanläggningar. I förordningen skärptes bland annat kraven för utsläpp av kväveoxider, NOX. Till följd av de skärpta kraven berördes Kraftringens produktionsanläggning Gunnesboverket. På anläggningen finns tre biooljeeldade hetvatten-pannor för fjärrvärmeproduktion därNew regulations regarding emissions of air pollutants came into force as of January 1st 2016 in Sweden. The regulations are found in “The Regulation on Large Combustion Plants” SFS 2013:252. The regulation contained stricter regulations of NOX emissions which affected the energy company Kraftringen and their three biooil-fueled boilers, at the heating plant Gunnesboverket, that are used for produc
Leap-frog migration, i.e. when a northerly breeding population/species migrates further south compare to southerly breeding population/species, is a common migration pattern in birds. However, it is still unknown which factors facilitate the evolution of such a migration pattern pattern. A textbook example of a species exhibiting leap-frog migration is the Common Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula
To improve functional properties, 2 different types of egg albumen powder (high gel instant and ordinary) were hydrolyzed with four proteases (FPC, NPU, BAP and PSP) using different protease concentration (low, medium and high) at 50C for 1 h and subsequently polymerized by transglutaminase at 40C for 24 h. The enzymatic modified egg albumen was analyzed for foaming properties: foamability as %ove
Modern public transportation systems are required to be more efficient. The efficiency and the quality of the service is based on several aspects, such as availability, frequency, travel speed, reliability and safety. Stop spacing system is a significant part of the public transport service design and it deeply affects its efficiency. In particular, the stop spacing system has consequences on the
