Patient associations for cancer patients (PACPs) are increasing in number as well as in the number of members. We utilised a questionnaire to investigate how members of 13 PACPs motivated their memberships. The study included 1,810 individuals who had been treated for breast cancer, gynaecological cancer, or prostate cancer. Through questionnaires these individuals were asked to articulate why the
A study of the decays Bs0→μ+μ- and B0→ μ+μ- has been performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 25 fb- 1 of 7 and 8 TeV proton–proton collisions collected with the ATLAS detector during the LHC Run 1. For the B0 dimuon decay, an upper limit on the branching fraction is set at B(B0→ μ+μ-) < 4.2 × 10 - 10 at 95 % confidence level. For Bs0, the branching fraction B(Bs0→μ+μ-)=(0
The literature reveals an importance of social work in relation to all phases of crisis and disaster (Desai, 2007; IASSW 2010) and a potential to strengthen its role further (UNISDR 2015; Dominelli, 2012). Yet, little is known as regards the Swedish context. Given the centrality of municipalities in the emergency system and Social Services as a central municipal assignment it could be expected to
OBJECTIVE: To outline possible associations between urinary incontinence (UI) and serum levels of steroid hormones in middle-aged women. DESIGN AND SETTING: Community-based observational study. SAMPLE: All women aged 50-59 living in the Lund area by December 1995 were invited to a screening procedure. Sixty-four percent (n = 6,917) attended the screening that included physical and laboratory exami
MATLAB and its companion product Simulink are commonly used tools insystems modelling and other scientific disciplines. A cross-disciplinaryintegrated MATLAB model is used to study the overall performance of theproposed 50m optical and infrared telescope, Euro50. However thecomputational requirements of this kind of end-to-end simulation of thetelescope's behaviour, exceeds the capability of an in
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine survival outcome in patients with serous cancer in the ovary, fallopian tube, peritoneum and of undesignated origin. Methods: Nation-wide population-based study of women. ≥. 18. years with histologically verified non-uterine serous cancer, included in the Swedish Quality Registry for primary cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube and peritoneum diagnos
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate technical skills in a coronary angiography (CA) simulator to establish the performance level of trainees and experts in virtual CA.The traditional master-apprentice way of learning CA is by practicing on patients despite a known risk for complications during training. Safe CA training is warranted, and simulators might be one possibility. Simulat
We used micro-level data from the censuses of 1900 to investigate the impact of socio-economic status on net fertility during the fertility transition in five Northern American and European countries (Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the USA). The study is therefore unlike most previous research on the historical fertility transition, which used aggregate data to examine economic correlates of
This Letter presents the results of a search for a heavy particle decaying into an e(+/-)mu(+/-), e(+/-)tau(+/-), or mu(+/-)tau(+/-) final state in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC during 2011 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb(-1). No significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed, and exclusions at 9
A search for new charged massive gauge bosons, called W', is performed with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV, using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1). This analysis searches for W' bosons in the W' -> t (b) over tilde decay channel in final states with electrons or muons, using a multivariate me
