The aim of this study was to explore the way out of homelessness for women with children and a history of substance abuse. The study population were women who had personal experience of being homeless, a substance abuser and a mother, but had left the homelessness and substance abuse behind. Four semi-structured interviews were conducted with four different women, and the empirical material was th

An on-board measurement system has been developed that in real time identifies the probability for occurrence and also the exact location of severe wear in the wheelrail contact. Noise generated by the wheel-rail contact is a troublesome side effect both when railway vehicles negotiate curves and run on straight tracks. The concept behind this project is to use this noise as an indicator of the tr

Since many of the University’s premises are open during the day it is very likely that you will encounter people who are not there to study or visit one of your colleagues. Here is some advice on what to do. Summon the University security guardIf you suspect that an unauthorised person has entered your workplace, notify the University security guard immediately by calling +46 46 222 07 00 or the l

Particles that are a hundred- to ten thousand times smaller than the width of a hair are commonly referred to as colloidal particles. Colloidal particles occur in a variety of products, like foodstuffs (marmelade and dairy products), construction materials (cement) and stained glass. In water, these particles are strongly affected by the Brownian force: an force that was discovered in 1827 by the Thermoresponsive colloidal microgels expel solvent from their interior upon crossing a threshold temperature, resulting in a significantly reduced size. The collapse of microgels can reversibly switch the interparticle interactions from soft repulsive to attractive, and the accompanying size reduction allows for precise control over volume fraction. Mixing two microgels that collapse at different

BACKGROUND: Bioprostheses for supraannular placement have been developed to optimize the hemodynamic performance after aortic valve replacement. To evaluate the potential benefit of this design, we analyzed the influence of prosthesis-patient mismatch on diastolic function and left ventricular mass regression and evaluated the clinical performance of the Sorin Soprano and Medtronic Mosaic in the a

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-

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

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

Ibrutinib, a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor is approved for relapsed/refractory and del(17p)/TP53 mutated chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Discrepancies between clinical trials and routine healthcare are commonly observed in oncology. Herein we report real-world results for 95 poor prognosis Swedish patients treated with ibrutinib in a compassionate use program. Ninety-five consecutive patients (

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

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

Agenda 2030 PhD student Phil Flores' thesis provides answers to what motivates people to use new modes of transport that are marketed as environmentally friendly. For many people, shared electric scooters and bicycles are used primarily because they contribute to positive emotions – it's fun. There is great interest in how innovations can reduce the environmental impact of the transport sector, no
