En studie av hur föreställningsförmågan, det inre seendet, uppmuntrades av några Vadstena-predikanter på 1400-talet. Framför allt tar artikeln upp en predikan över den Apostoliska trosbekännelsen, vilken kopplas samman med ädelstenarna i den Heliga Stadens grundmurar i Uppenbarelseboken. Artikelförfattaren gör en koppling till ett unikt smycke, det s k Motalaspännet.
Svensk hälso- och sjukvård står inför stora utmaningar rörande kommunikation med patienter. En del av dessa utmaningar är kopplade till situationer där patienter, såsom asylsökande eller papperslösa, inte själva behärskar svenska språket. Användning av tolktjänster kan vara nödvändigt i sådana situationer. I denna artikel undersöks vårdgivarens och vårdpersonalens skyldigheter i tre situationer, n
Motivation: AliGater is an open-source framework to accelerate the development of bioinformatic pipelines for the analysis of large-scale, high-dimensional flow cytometry data. AliGater provides a Python package for automatic feature extraction workflows, as well as building blocks to construct analysis pipelines. Results: We illustrate the use of AliGater in a high-resolution flow cytometry-based
Characterized tissue with pathological grading and blood samples as well as other biofluids forms the basis for all biobanks as a resource in modern life science. Biobanks are accessed to measure biological components that can be used to monitor the status of health and disease in individual samples and population groups. The biomarker diagnostics area, predicting drug efficacy, stratification of
The Intermediate Data Structure (IDS) provides a common structure for storing and sharing historical demographic data. The structure also facilitates the construction of different open-access software to extract information from these tables and construct new variables. The article Using the Intermediate Data Structure (IDS) to Construct Files for Analysis (Quaranta 2015) presented a series of con
BACKGROUND: Intense exercise has been reported as one risk factor for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA). PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate (1) whether this is true for both former impact and nonimpact athletes, (2) if the risk of a hip or knee arthroplasty due to OA is higher than expected, and (3) if joint deterioration is associated with knee injuries. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evi
Climate change and limited natural resources are growing concerns that create both global and local challenges to societies and organizations. The Western World´s transportation system is dependent on oil, a limited natural resource that has a detrimental impact on the environment. To curb harmful impacts and maintain economic growth, alternative energy methods need to be incorporated into the tra
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geofysiska och geokemiska analysmetoder såsom undersökning av innehållet kalciumkarbonater, organiskt kol, magnetisk susceptibilitet (magnetisk påverkan av yttre magnetiska fält), samt bildanalys av gråskala kan användas som korrelationsverktyg av sedimentära karbonatbergarter. Lågt karbonatinnehåll i en karbonatbergart indikerar en proportionellt högre tillförsGeophysical and geochemical methods such as investigation of calcium carbonate content, organic carbon content, magnetic susceptibility and grey scale image analysis may be utilised as correlation tools of sedimentary carbonate rocks. Low carbonate content indicates high terrestrial input into a basin and is associated with clay horizons containing high amounts of organic carbon and also high magn
Medial tibial stress syndrome, a common condition of uncertain origin found in athletes, is characterized by pain in the distal posteromedial aspect of the tibia during exercise, with or without increased scintigraphic uptake in the affected region. To determine whether medial tibial stress syndrome with increased scintigraphic uptake is associated with a change in tibial bone mineral density conf
The effects of charge overlap, or charge penetration, are neglected in most force fields and interaction terms in QM/MM methods. The effects are however significant at intermolecular distances near the van der Waals minimum. In the present study, we propose a method to evaluate the intermolecular Coloumb interaction using Slater-type functions, thus explicitly modeling the charge overlap. The comp
I omställningen till en mer hållbar bioekonomi har mycket fokus legat på utvecklingen av biobränslen. När det gäller innovation och utveckling av kemikalier och andra produkter släpar utvecklingen efter av flera orsaker, vilket visas i denna avhandling.Forskningen visar att det nuvarande systemet är inlåst i ett fossilberoende av flera olika orsaker, både tekniska, organisatoriska och materiella. The transition to a bioeconomy is dependent on transformative changes to technologies, organisations, and institutions, which jointly can be described as a socio-technical change. The thesis contributes to the understanding of how the transition is shaped by expectations on and collaborations for innovation forbiorefineries, which can produce chemicals, fuels, and materials needed in a bioeconomy.
This review summarizes the analytical methods that have been developed for quantification and characterization of oat proteins. These include sampling, sample preparation, extraction, quantification, separation, detection, and characterization of oat proteins. The review also provides a comparison of different methods for the determination of protein fraction of oat and the efficiency thereof. We
The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of Earth’s most iconic biodiversity patterns and still one of the most debated. Explanations for the LDG are often categorized into three broad pathways in which the diversity gradient is created by (1) differential diversification rates, (2) differential carrying capacities (ecological limits), or (3) differential time to accumulate species across l
An X-ray grating interferometer (GI) suitable for clinical mammography must comply with quite strict dose, scanning time and geometry limitations, while being able to detect tumors, microcalcifications and other abnormalities. Such a design task is not straightforward, since obtaining optimal phase-contrast and dark-field signals with clinically compatible doses and geometrical constraints is rema
The testis is a radiosensitive tissue. It contains a large number of lobules, which in turn are composed of convoluted seminiferous tubules. The epithelium inside each tubule consists of a complex mosaic of supporting cells and germ cells of different sizes and degrees of maturation. These cells are known to have diverse sensitivity to radiation, those with the highest sensitivity being the sperma
Automated classification of ECG patterns is facilitated by careful selection of waveform features. This paper presents a method for evaluating the properties of features that describe the shape of a QRS complex. By examining the distances in the feature space for a class of nearly similar complexes, shape transitions which are poorly described by the feature under investigation can be readily iden
