A few large fires in Lithium-ion battery systems are known to have been caused by leaking coolant, and experience from fire testing indicate that coolant can be the origin of violent fires triggered before the onset of thermal runaway in the battery. It is here hypothesized that the common coolants water and ethylene glycol can form flammable gases via electrolysis in the electrical environment fo
Our research aims to develop an intelligent control system for optimizing the operation of lighting systems for a jogging track in the countryside by using adaptive control methods, and optimization of built-in lighting control. Through this, lighting systems will be optimized, energy consumption will be minimized and the lighting system will be adapted to be able to handle a larger amount of loca
This paper presents a search for a new Z′ resonance decaying into a pair of dark quarks which hadronise into dark hadrons before promptly decaying back as Standard Model particles. This analysis is based on proton-proton collision data recorded at s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider between 2015 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. After sele
Background: Young adults with autism often have problems with body awareness, also acknowledged by physiotherapists. This may interfere with various physiological and psychological responses, expressed in reduced movement quality. Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) may be suitable to address these difficulties, to enhance body awareness and movement quality to manage everyday life. Body Awareness
A search for the single production of a vectorlike top partner (Formula Presented) with mass greater than 1 TeV decaying into a Formula Presented boson and a top quark is presented, using the full Run 2 dataset corresponding to Formula Presented of Formula Presented collisions at Formula Presented, collected in 2015-2018 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The targeted final stat
Charge-dependent two- and three-particle correlations measured in Xe–Xe collisions at sNN=5.44 TeV are presented. Results are obtained for charged particles in the pseudorapidity range |η|
The ongoing war in Ukraine is associated with unprecedented radiological threats to the public in Ukraine and the neighboring countries. This calls for fundamental revision of the preparedness plans and established approaches to radiological monitoring of the populations affected by potential radiological emergencies. Dosimetric information will be needed for triage of victims and support to decis
Objective: To study the impact of tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitor (TNFi) therapy on the use of non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in Iceland. Method: This registry cohort study used data from the nationwide database on biologics in Iceland (ICEBIO) and the Icelandic Prescriptio
AIMS: The aim of this study was to identify and describe methods that physiotherapists use to evaluate the immediate effects of their interventions for infants in hospital with acute respiratory tract infections.METHODS: We constructed an anonymous digital survey to physiotherapists working with infants aged 0-24 months in Sweden. The survey was distributed by e-mail and posted on web pages for se
Background: Patients with generalized social anxiety disorder (SAD) avoid various social situations and can be reluctant to engage in in vivo exposure therapy. Highly personalized practising can be required before patients are ready to perform in vivo exposure. Virtual reality-based therapy could be beneficial for this group.Aims: To assess the feasibility and potential effect of virtual reality-b
BACKGROUND: Early palliative care provides better quality of life, increased prognostic awareness, and even improved survival for patients with advanced cancer but how the integrated care model achieves these outcomes has not been completely explained.METHODS: To better understand the clinical approach to early outpatient care from the clinicians' perspective, we conducted focus groups with the pa
Statistics reveal the concerning prevalence of mental health issues among Swedish public sector managers, highlighting the critical need for deeper insights into the relevance of social support in coping with work-related stress. This study aims to examine the relevance of various sources of social support for managers coping with work-related stress, an area relatively underexplored in public adm
In this paper, we present a multipath-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm that con-tinuously adapts mulitiple map feature (MF) models describing specularly reflected multi path components (MPCs) from flat surfaces and point-scattered MPCs, respectively. We develop a Bayesian model for sequential detection and estimation of interacting MF model parameters, MF states and mob
Progressive leptomeningeal metastases (LM) are associated with intractable neurological symptoms and a poor prognosis, and effective treatment options are limited. Intrathecal (IT) pemetrexed has been shown to confer clinical benefit in lung adenocarcinoma, yet our understanding of the efficacy and safety of the treatment is limited. We report a patient with a long-standing history of leptomeninge
2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a precipitating non-aqueous amine technology that can potentially lower the energy demand during CO2 removal from industrial flue gases compared to aqueous amine technologies. However, DMSO is hygroscopic and has a high possibility of absorbing water from humid flue gases, which can affect the physical properties of the system,
We have previously demonstrated that the intracellular, non-GPI anchored CD59 isoforms IRIS-1 and IRIS-2 (Isoforms Rescuing Insulin Secretion 1 and 2) are necessary for insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. While investigating their expression across human tissues, we identified IRIS-1 and IRIS-2 mRNA in the human brain, though their protein expression and function remained unclear. This stud
Simultaneous monitoring of the process parameters in a multivariate normal process has caught researchers’ attention during the last two decades. However, only statistical control charts have been developed so far for this purpose. On the other hand, machine-learning (ML) techniques have rarely been developed to be used in control charts. In this paper, three ML control charts are proposed using t
Due to the large amount of accidents negatively affecting the wellbeing of the survivors and their families, a substantial amount of research is conducted to determine the causes of road accidents. This type of data come in the form of non-negative integers and may be modelled using the Poisson regression model. Unfortunately, the commonly used maximum likelihood estimator is unstable when the exp
Background and objective: Guideline recommendations regarding early management of grade group (GG) 2 prostate cancer with confirmatory biopsy (cBx) are not well established. Our aim was to determine which patients with GG 2 cancer should undergo cBx before treatment decision-making by evaluating the probability of downgrading to GG 1 or no cancer on cBx. Methods: This was a single-institution retr
