Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Examensarbetet har gått ut på att med hjälp av satellitbilder göra markanvändningsdata för att förbättra en modell som beräknar vart de luftburna föroreningarna tar vägen. Föroreningarna svavel och kväve deponeras med olika hastighet över olika marktyper, därför vill man använda sig av markanvändningsdata i modellerna. Svavelutsläppen har ökat dramatiskt under Sulphur emissions during the last century has led to major acidification of the environment. The acidity of soil and water is a threat to health and economic interests of man, e.g. the food and paper/wood production in the agricultural and silvicultural industries. The Black Triangle region suffers from severe damage caused by acidification and actions to decrease the acid rain over fields and for

This study aimed to test and validate a dual-time-window (DTW) protocol for 6-(fluoro-18F)-3-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-1-yl)isoquinolin-5-amine ([18F]MK6240) dynamic PET imaging in experimental datasets acquired in human subjects. Methods: DTW protocols were tested and validated in datasets previously collected in 25 participants: 13 were cognitively normal, 10 had mild cognitive impairment, and 2

IMPORTANCE Risk stratification strategies in primary prevention of coronary events lack precision. OBJECTIVE To determine whether prediction of first coronary events is improved by adding information on coronary atherosclerosis from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to a model using the pooled cohort equation (PCE) risk score tool and the coronary artery calcification score (CACS).

Översiktliga beräkningar visar att ca 2 miljoner människor utsätts för trafikbullernivåer överstigande de riktvärden som riksdagen ställt sig bakom. Ungefär 500 000 av dessa utsätts för buller från tågtrafiken. Trafikbuller har betydelse för vår hälsa och de negativa effekterna kan vara störning av dagliga aktiviteter, stress sömnsvårigheter, koncentrationsproblem och högt blodtryck. Detta arbete Roughly 2 million Swedish citizens are exposed to traffic noise from roads, railways and aircrafts at levels higher than those approved by the government. As many as 500 000 of these are subject to railway noise. Exposure to traffic noise can have negative effects and cause irritation and disturbance of daily activities and also create general health problems such as lack of sleep, stress, concent

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kritiskt sjuka patienter på intensivvårdsavdelningar (IVA) har ofta störningar i blodets levringsförmåga (koagulation). Kliniska tecken som blodpropp (djup ventrombos eller blodpropp i lungorna) och/eller blödning kan vara resultatet av aktivering och konsumtion av koagulationsfaktorer och koagulationshämmare. Disseminerad intravaskulär koagulation (DIC, som är en samtiCritically ill patients in intensive care units (ICU) often have coagulation disturbances. Clinical manifestations such as thromboembolism and/or bleeding may result from activation and consumption of coagulation factors and inhibitors. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a severe condition with an often-poor prognosis. Global haemostatic tests are inexpensive, widely available, and ma

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether CA 125 measurement is superior to ultrasound imaging performed by an experienced examiner for discriminating between benign and malignant adnexal lesions, and to determine whether adding CA 125 to ultrasound examination improves diagnostic performance. METHODS: This is a prospective multicenter study (International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) study) conducted in

PURPOSE: To investigate the incidence and causes of visual impairment in children born prematurely in Finland from 1972 through 1989, and to determine what conditions and factors were associated with its occurrence. DESIGN: Retrospective, cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: All visually impaired individuals from 0 to 17 years of age who had been born at fewer than 37 gestational weeks in Finland from

Background Chronic immune stimulation appears to be associated with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL)-Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM); however, available information is sparse. We conducted, to our knowledge, the most comprehensive study to date to evaluate associations between a personal or family history of many immune-related and/or inflammatory disorders and the subsequent risk of LPL-WM.

Using pictures of patient data to predict hospitalization Predicting patient hospitalization has been a major objective of health care providers due to its impact on patients’ life quality. These benefits are demonstrated in driving down health care cost in addition to lowering mortality rates and complications due to unplanned hospitalizations. Like any other patients, dialysis patients experi

The building industry accounts for a large part of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time the awareness of sustainable construction and production phase has increased and focus has been directed towards the material wood. Likewise, continuing urbanisation requires multi-storey buildings made of wood which brings along certain difficulties and challenges. Due to the low mass of wood

The relationship between ancient hominins and modern humans, from a new perspective Many questions followed the discovery and identification of the Neanderthal from the fossil record in 1856 as to its place in the hominin tree and its relationship with modern humans. Was it a direct ancestor? A remote cousin? Or did it mix with humans? Once reliable nuclear DNA data became available in 2010, the

From Strands to Wires All the genetic information required to develop and maintain an organism is packed tightly into the molecule known as DNA. Determining the order of the four bases, which are the building blocks of DNA, enables the identification of a DNA segment. Modern disease diagnostics use this identification method, known as DNA sequencing, to inspect genetic integrity. Thus, it is vita

Sveriges regering satte 2011 upp mål om att bli bäst på att utnyttja digitaliseringens möjligheter. Digitaliseringen av bygglovsprocessen har trots det gått långsamt. Bygglovsprocessen idag (2018) är en långsam, dyr och ineffektiv process. Möjligheten att söka bygglov med e-legitimation finns endast hos 30 procent av kommunerna och 60 procent har någon slags e-tjänst ansökan. Ansökningarna innebär

Popular science summary: An MK-801 Hyperactivity Model in Zebrafish Larvae Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by psychosis, depression and cognitive impairments. The severity of this disease is easily underestimated, since the manifestations are not consequently lethal. Additionally, Schizophrenia is correlated with a 50 times increased risk of attempted suicide. Considering that a
