Temperature is one of the key abiotic factors during the life of plants, especially in the Arctic region which is currently experiencing rapid climate change. We evaluated plant traits and environmental variables determining leaf temperature in tundra shrubs and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions with field measurements on deciduous tundra shrubs, Salix myrsinites and Betula nana, and everg
PCR of TCR/Ig gene rearrangements is considered the method of choice for minimal residual disease (MRD) quantification in BCP-ALL, but flow cytometry analysis of leukemia-associated immunophenotypes (FCM-MRD) is faster and biologically more informative. FCM-MRD performed in 18 laboratories across seven countries was used for risk stratification of 1487 patients with BCP-ALL enrolled in the NOPHO A
Islet autoantibodies are key markers for the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Since their discovery, they have also been recognized for their potential to identify at-risk individuals prior to symptoms. To date, risk prediction using autoantibodies has been based on autoantibody number; it has been robustly shown that nearly all multiple-autoantibody-positive individuals will progress to clinical dis
After World War II and prior to the financial deregulation of the 1980s, monetary policy in Sweden as well as in other western European countries rested chiefly on a system of far- reaching non-market-oriented controls of credit flows and interest rates. How was monetary policy conducted in such an environment of financial repression, where the central bank was unable to rely on traditional moneta
Background:Sensory overresponsivity (SOR) has emerged as a potential endophenotype in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but few studies have examined SOR in relation to the major symptom dimensions of OCD and to symptoms across the full obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptom spectrum.Objective:This study had 2 main objectives. First, we examined the psychometric properties of the SOR Scales in a com
Raised blood pressure (BP) is the leading cause of preventable death in the world. Yet, its global prevalence is increasing, and it remains poorly detected, treated, and controlled in both high- and low-resource settings. From the perspective of members of the International Society of Hypertension based in all regions, we reflect on the past, present, and future of hypertension care, highlighting
The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) within the society as well as in academic work has increased rapidly over the last decades. This also means that Geomatics has started to create problems in both academic and non-academic worlds. Firstly because it bridges borders that have been in place for a long time and secondly because Geomatics, or rather the basic concepts of Geomatics, is i
Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R)-related leukoencephalopathy is a rare, genetic disease caused by heterozygous mutations in the CSF1R gene with rapidly progressive neurodegeneration, behavioral, cognitive, motor disturbances. Objective: To describe four cases of CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy from three families with two different pathogenic mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain o
OBJECTIVES: We sought to explore 25-year trends of gender disparity in the prevalence of obesity and overweight both in urban and rural areas among Chinese children from 1985 to 2010.METHODS: Data included 1 280 239 children aged 7-18 years enrolled in the Chinese National Survey on Students's Constitution and Health (CNSSCH), which is the largest nationally representative sample of school-aged ch
Purpose: Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of optic neuropathies that potentially may be associated with other cerebral neurodegenerative processes leading to dementia. However, prior studies have been inconsistent. We examined dementia risks after glaucoma diagnosis in a large population-based cohort. Design: National matched cohort study. Participants: A total of 324 730 persons diagnosed with g
With increasing demands on consumer products, attempts have been made to integrate all aspects of the product by the use of Cross-Functional Teams (CFTs) in product development work. However, research has shown that this integration often fails to reach its full potential. Considering the interdisciplinary interaction between industrial designers and engineering designers in CFTs, barriers p
Context. Intensity interferometry was invented and used by R.Hanbury Brown and R.Q.Twiss in the 1960's to measure stellar angular diameters. Its main advantage over conventional interferometry is that it enables very long baselines and is insensitive to poor seeing. However, because it requires very large light collectors, it was never pursued further. The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a
This thesis investigates the effectiveness of a water mist fire suppression system in a submarine environment. As a first step in evaluating the viability of such a system aboard SAAB submarines, the water mist was simulated using an Eulerian-Lagrangian multi-phase model in the the commercial software Star CCM+. The CFD simulation results provide a good visualisation of the distribution of the mis
This paper investigates the last two months of the Vietnam War, March and April 1975, from the CIA:s perspective. During the last two decades, the CIA have declassified many documents about the Vietnam war, thus making new source material available. The withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and the subsequent Taliban conquest, has also sparked a renewed interest in the Vietnam war. Hence,
Everything we see in nature shows how the environment influences them from both inside and outside, for example, appearance and inner structure. As Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, specific behavioural and physical adaptations that are the outcome of natural selection. [1] The outer appearance is a visible reflection of how environment changed while the inner structure is the organism
The average life expectancy for large companies on the fortune 500 list has declined rapidly since the 1950s. One major reason is the growing competition from new actors on the market. Innovation has become one of the most important competencies for companies to get ahead of the competition. The growing demand for companies to be innovative and at the same time operate their core business have dee
En betydande del av alla offentliga upphandlingar leder till upprättande av ramavtal. Ramavtal är avtal som fastställer villkoren för kontrakt som senare ska tilldelas. EU-domstolen har i en dom från 2018 behandlat ett för upphandlingsområdet nytt fenomen. Domen rör takvolymer i ramavtal vilket avser en bestämd gräns för hur mycket som är tillåtet att avropa. Eftersom 2014 års direktiv och sedermA significant part of all public procurements leads to the conclusion of framework agreements. Framework agreements are agreements that define the terms of contracts to be awarded later. In a 2018 judgment, the European Court of Justice dealt with a new phenomenon for the procurement area. The judgment concerns determined volumes in framework agreements, which refer to a specific limit on how muc
The ringing and controlling of previously marked birds are invaluable tools for studying the survival, productivity, and movement of birds. To maximize the value of ringing data, it is important to minimize any potential biases. For some species, such as nestbox-breeding owls, ringing records are typically heavily skewed toward females because they generally are easier to catch. The use of traditi
Volume status of a patient is difficult to assess clinically. Methods to measure plasma volume as well as changes in plasma volume in connection with fluid therapy are therefore valuable for research purposes and could potentially be used bedside to guide fluid therapy in individual patients. The objective of the present study was to evaluate hematocrit as a marker of changes in plasma volum
