Japan is well-renowned in the international community for its expertise in high-capacity, punctual railway operations. Particularly the high-speed trains, the Shinkansen, are very well known and respected internationally, but the knowledge outside Japan is more limited regarding more conventional lines, commuter trains, and the metro. Despite this, during rush hours trains in the Tokyo area can be
Purpose To develop a mathematical model to adjust the timing of computed tomography (CT) scans with the hazard of cancer recurrence in time to facilitate early detection of cancer recurrence. Materials and Methods The clinical data were extracted from the randomized Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) XVIII/Arbeitsgemeinschaft Internistische Onkologie (AIO) trial database. The SSG XVIII/AIO trial was
Car prevalence in society has a negative effect on both local and global environments. One way to tackle these problems is to restrict car traffic in city centres, this comes not only with effects on the environment. How car free zones can affect retail in cities is examined in this study. The study takes place in ten retail shops in the city centre of Lund along three streets. Customers are aske
Predictors of Progression From the Appearance of Islet Autoantibodies to Early Childhood Diabetes: The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) DOI: 10.2337/dc14-2426 OBJECTIVE While it is known that there is progression to diabetes in <10 years in 70% of children with two or more islet autoantibodies, predictors of the progression to diabetes are only partially defined.

The main goal with the thesis was to design, construct and evaluate a system able to drive and brake a mechanical axis to simulate loads and stored rotational energy - a hardware force simulator. The force simulator was then to be integrated in a existing hardware-in-the-loop testing rig to enhance the mechanical dynamics of door simulations. The force simulator was to be realised using a brushed
As the demand for secure software and hardware solutions increase in our modern digitalized society, the importance of reliable and cost-effective product testing is apparent. One such testing technique is fuzzing, which involves generating large amounts of malformed and randomized data to stress test system interfaces. This study aimed to compare traditional fuzzing methods to modern approaches a
Background: Emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection in patients with previous cardiac surgery is controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the association between previous cardiac surgery and outcomes after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection, to appreciate whether emergency surgery can be offered with acceptable risks. Methods: All patients operated on for acute type A aorti
OBJECTIVES: We estimated the length of stay (LoS) in hospital and the intensive care unit (ICU) and risk of admission to ICU and in-hospital death among COVID-19 patients ≥18 years in Norway who had been fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (at least two doses or one dose and previous SARS-CoV-2 infection), compared to unvaccinated patients.METHODS: Using national registry data, we analyzed SARS-
An increase in protein alternatives is necessary to feed the rising global population healthy and sustainable food. Dairy alternatives are one way to provide more environmentally and animal-friendly products. Next to plant-based drinks (PBDs) used as milk alternatives, plant-based yoghurts (PBYs) are becoming more popular. PBYs are produced by fermenting water-based extracts of plants and are expe
BACKGROUND: A history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is associated with at least twice the risk of incident ischemic heart disease. Whether the long-term outcome following treatment with coronary artery stenting is associated to the history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We included 8364 women (age ≤65 years) undergoing first coronary artery stentin

Here you will find an overview of IT-related issues for teaching at LTH, such as booking rooms and equipment, program installations, costs and the support available. Teaching at LTH places great demands on IT. To aid teaching, there are computer rooms containing around a thousand computers on the LTH campus. The student computer rooms are adapted to the teaching they host in various ways. The room

In 2018, Lund University introduced a new version of Ladok which has increased the need for support and training in the new system. The Student Records Office is working on different kinds of support for Ladok users. User manualsAnyone who is to use Ladok must request authorisation, including lecturers reporting results and examiners certifying them. Authorisation requests are to be made in Lucat.
Utblicken (BMC E16003) consists of a seminar room with associated lounge and terrace. Only one event may take place at a time in the premises so as not to risk the events interfering with each other. A maximum of 50 people may be in the premises at the same time. The premises should be used for internal representation for example for management and committees, and for representation with external

Internal mixing on the giant branch is an important process which affects the evolution of stars and the chemical evolution of the galaxy. While several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this mixing, better empirical constraints are necessary. Here, we use [C/N] abundances in 26,097 evolved stars from the SDSS-IV/APOGEE-2 Data Release 14 to trace mixing and extra mixing in old field giants
Red giant stars are perhaps the most important type of stars for Galactic and extra-galactic archaeology: they are luminous, occur in all stellar populations, and their surface temperatures allow precise abundance determinations for many different chemical elements. Yet, the full star formation and enrichment history of a galaxy can be traced directly only if two key observables can be determined
The 2.5 km deep scientific COSC-1 borehole (ICDP 5054-1-A) was successfully drilled with nearly complete core recovery during spring and summer of 2014. Downhole and on-core measurements through the targeted Lower Seve Nappe provide a comprehensive data set. An observed gradual increase in strain below 1700 m, with mica schists and intermittent mylonites increasing in frequency and thickness, is h
