Key design features of high performance houses are investigated for improving energy efficiency in cold climates. Reference dwellings with typical constructions and system designs are compared with high performance houses using the best technology available. The dwellings used for reference are a multi-family apartment building and a single-family detached house, designed according to a mix of Nor
Abstract in UndeterminedLimb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A is an autosomal recessive disorder generated by inactivating mutations in the gene coding for the muscle specific protease calpain-3. It is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle as a monomeric multidomain protein characterized by three unique insertion sequences (NS, IS1, IS2). It is unstable, and undergoes very rapid autolysis in soluti
It is our impression that Gordon Pask’s writings cover fundamentals for large parts of the widely expanding fields of Cybernetics and Systems Theory. Thereby, and by his lecturing activities, he has become a unique figure in maintaining a kind of unity of the field of Cybernetics, well in accord with Wiener’s view (“control and communication in the animal and the machine”; cf[26]). And that, with
Most of all deaths from cancer are due to tumor metastasis, specifically 9 out of 10. Metastasis is associated with a number of factors, including cancer cell motility, tumor adhesive property and cancer shape. As a result, the dynamics, development and consequent prognosis of tumors are still not well characterized. The development of immunotherapies for cancer has been a focus for research in re
Före 2005 dömdes gärningspersoner som sexuellt utnyttjat en person som befunnit sig i ett hjälplöst tillstånd för sexuellt utnyttjande enligt 6 kap. 3 § Brottsbalken (BrB). Endast om det var gärningspersonen som själv hade medverkat till offrets hjälplösa tillstånd kunde denne åtalas för våldtäkt. Föranlett av ett stort missnöje och hätsk debatt i media trädde 2005 den nya sexualbrottslagstiftningPrior to 2005, offending persons involved in sexual exploitation of a person who found themselves in a vulnerable situation, were sentenced pursuant to Chapter 6 § 3 The Criminal Code. Only if the offending person had contributed to the victim's vulnerable situation, could he be prosecuted for rape. In 2005, the new sexual offenses law came into force, which was due to a great dissatisfaction
This study was focused on the synthesis and characterization of a fully bio-based unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) with good thermal properties suitable for the commercial production of composite polymers. UPRs based on different ratios of bio-based furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA), itaconic acid, and diols were synthesized. The unsaturated polymers prepared were evaluated by differential scanning
Objective: Congenitally corrected and surgical atrial redirected transposition of the great arteries (TGA) represents states where the morphological right ventricle serves as a systemic ventricle (S-RV). The S-RV is prone to failure, but data on medical treatment on this problem is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival in adults with S-RV, with or without heart failure tr
Purpose—Ischemic myocardial contracture (IMC) or ‘‘stoneheart’’ is a condition with rapid onset following circulatory death. It inhibits transplantability of hearts donated uponcirculatory death (DCD). We investigate the effectiveness of hemodynamic normalization upon withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) in a large-animal controlled DCD model, with the hypothesis that reduction in cardiac

I naturen fångas solljus in via ljus-absorberande molekyler. På liknande sätt kan färgämnen användas för solcells- och artificiell fotosyntes-applikationer för att absorbera solljus, och överföra den exciterade elektronen.Framgångsrika färgämnen har tidigare varit baserade på Ru-polipyridyl-komplex, trots att Ru är ett av de mest ovanliga ämnena i jordskorpan. Detta arbete har som mål att ersätta Nature captures sunlight via light-absorbing molecules.Similarly, photosensitisers are used in applications of solar cells and artificial photosynthesis to absorb sunlight, and transfer the excited electron.Successful photosensitisers have in the past been based on a Ru polipyridyl scaffold, despite Ru being one of the scarcest elements in Earth's crust.This thesis work aims to replace Ru polipyri
Purpose: Tru-cut biopsy is a minimally invasive technique used to obtain tissue samples for the diagnosis of tumors, especially in patients where primary surgery is not indicated. The aim of this study was to assess the adequacy, accuracy and safety of the tru-cut biopsy for diagnosis in gynecological cancer.Methods: A retrospective population-based review of 328 biopsies was conducted. The indica
Aim: To examine adherence, performance, and safety of self-administered aerobic endurance exercise when exercise intensity was prescribed and self-monitored with the Borg RPE scale in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the relationship between performed exercise and change in walking distance. Materials and Methods: 97 men and 50 women (age 66 ± 14 years, measured GFR 22 ± 8 mL/min/1.
Radiative transfer (RT) is a key component for investigating atmospheres of planetary bodies. With the 3D nature of exoplanet atmospheres being important in giving rise to their observable properties, accurate and fast 3D methods are required to be developed to meet future multidimensional and temporal data sets. We develop an open-source GPU RT code, gCMCRT, a Monte Carlo RT forward model for gen
In the field of operations and supply chain management (OSCM), the customer order decoupling point (CODP) hasbeen recognized as an important strategic parameter for roughly 30 years. It is the point in the value chain whereforecast-driven material flows get separated from order-driven material flows. Despite its long history in the field,multiple calls for further consideration of the CODP in OSCM
Introduction: Ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water is crucial, especially in flood-prone regions where the water quality in dug wells can deteriorate due to various physicochemical factors. This research was aimed to measure the effectiveness of natural materials in improving water quality based on physicochemical parameters and to compare water quality before and after treatment in As
Background: Trauma-focused therapies (TFTs) are first-line treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, TFTs are under-utilised, partly due to clinicians’ and patients' fear that TFT is too challenging or harmful. We review the qualitative studies on how adults with PTSD experience TFTs to enhance the understanding of user perspectives, therapeutic processes, and outcomes. Methods
For many years, indigeneity has been conceptualized as rural, making Indigenous communities and people in cities invisible globally. For the Sámi people, Europe’s only indigenous people, security is mainly understood as physical-centering extraction and environmental degradation. Focusing on the urban Sámi community in Umeå in Sweden, cultural and political belonging in the city arises as vital in
Abstract Background/introduction: Scania supply chain is responsible for packaging to protect parts during transportation from their suppliers around the world. For many years Scania has used returnable packaging for inbound logistics of automotive parts. Scania packaging can be divided into two groups; namely Standard packaging and Special packaging. Problem description: When introducing a newer
