Extensive research is being conducted on magnesium (Mg) alloys for bone implant manufacturing, due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and mechanical properties. Gadolinium (Gd) is among the most promising alloying elements for property control in Mg alloy implants; however, its toxicity is controversial. Investigating Gd behavior during implant corrosion is thus of utmost importance. In t

Early and accurate diagnoses are important for successful cancer treatment. Lymph node involvement is often critical, and magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) has been proposed for its detection and characterization. MMUS relies on a magnetic contrast agent, for example, iron oxide nanoparticles, delivered to the tissue of interest, magnetically set in motion and detected using ultrasound. The magneto-

Background: Documentation of older people’s end-of-life care should cover the care given and provide an overview of their entire situation. Older people approaching the end of life often have complex symptoms, live with bodily losses, and face an unknown future in which existential aspects come to the forefront. Knowledge of the existential aspects recorded in palliative care documentation is spar

Recent experimental evidence indicates that neurotrophic factors play a role in the pathophysiology of epilepsy. The objective of this study was to explore whether signaling through one of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family receptors, GFRα2, influences the severity of kindling-evoked, rapidly recurring seizures and the subsequent development of permanent hyperexcitability. We a

The first measurements of proton emission accompanied by neutron emission in the electromagnetic dissociation (EMD) of Pb208 nuclei in the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. The EMD protons and neutrons emitted at very forward rapidities are detected by the proton and neutron zero degree calorimeters of the ALICE experiment. The emission cross sections of zero, one, two,

The starting point for this inductive study is to determine, through a search of studies, what critical viewpoints in terms of research are delivered, based on experiences, observations and evaluation, concerning the Bologna Process over time? The aim is to present a description using a thematic analysis based on data from 38 papers (2004–2016) that reveal the critical reasoning behind the researc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom processanalytisk kemi är uppgiften att bestämma viktiga egenskaper i en kemisk process under det att tillverkningen fortlöper. Ett vanligt exempel är att man bestämmer halten av något ämne. Eftersom de uppmätta egenskaperna ofta används för att styra processandet mot bästa möjliga betingelser är det av generellt intresse att mätningen går snabbt. Men det är inte noPharmaceutical tablets and pellets are often covered with a coating. There is a need for methods that enable monitoring of the growth of such films during processing. Such analyses can be performed using process analytical chemical methods based on near infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance spectrometry. It provides with analyses that take only ca. 8 seconds in total analysis time, including physical

Contrary to popular belief, countries rich in natural resources are often poorer than their resource-poor neighbors. The phenomenon «the resource curse” is defined as “the perverse effects of a country’s natural resource wealth on its economic, social, or political wellbeing”. Resource cursed countries experience poor living conditions, poor economic development and poor levels of democracy with e

For someone who has undergone an amputation, it is important to be able to decide what the prosthesis should look like. Since many people today choose to have some sort of cover on their prosthesis, either to fill the void or to regain the feeling of a leg, it is very important that it is something that the user feels comfortable with. To go through an amputation is often a very shocking event

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) är små, enkelsträngade RNA molekyler som består av cirka 22 molekylära byggstenar, nukleotider. Nukleotiderna består antingen av adenin (A), guanin (G), cytosin (C) eller uracil (U). Dessa små RNA molekyler är involverade i flertalet sjukdomar och genom att hitta sekvensen av dessa A, G, C, T i ett biologiskt prov, kan miRNAt agera som markör för att hitta nya behandlingsmetoderMicroRNAs are small single stranded RNA molecules containing approximately 22 nucleotides and these play an important regulatory role in gene expression. MicroRNAs are found to be involved in several diseases and knowledge about their sequences can be an important tool in the foundation of novel treatment methods against diseases. Today, these small RNA molecules are mainly analyzed with qPCR and

There are competing standards regarding the definition of the crime of “enforced disappearance” under international law. When criminalizing enforced disappearance at the national level as part of their obligations under international law, States which adopt a more narrow definition of enforced disappearance provided in the Rome Statute require victims of enforced disappearance to prove the existen

Identification of high-biomass sites can lead to further studies on their ecology with the purpose to inform climate change mitigation decisions or give an indication to which sites need stronger protection. The purpose of this study was to, via a remotely sensed data set of tree biomass, identify the locations with the highest biomass in Sweden. As biomass varies across the extent of a stand or

Problem definition: The production, sale and consumption of ready to eat-vegetables and salads have increased at a frantic pace over the last decade and this trend shows signs of continuing. This very much depends on that ready to eat-salads are minimally processed and contain no artificial additives. They also retain a large amount of their nutrients after harvest and do not require any preparat

Background: Acute ischemic bowel disease (AIBD) is a potentially death-threatening vascular emergency predominantly affecting the elderly (>65 years). The prognosis is dismal and early diagnosis and treatment is of vital importance for the outcome. Clinical presentation is unspecific. The five studies were retrospective. The patients were retrieved from Malmö University Hospital. The aim with thi

The Swedish Pompeii Project started in 2000 as a fieldwork initiated from the Swedish Institute in Rome. The aim was to record and analyze a full Pompeian city-block, Insula V 1. This paper presents the initial results of one of the actions in the context of this project. In October 2011, two houses were acquired using 3D scanning and 3d-from-photos techniques, and the data was processed to obtain

Lack of courses in emergency medicine for doctors under training is currently a problem in Sweden. Only 10 percent will have these courses early under their internship. The University hospital in Malmoe has therefore decided to create a course for doctors under training and to offer it early in their education. The curriculum is based on a problem-based learning concept using a modified case metho

Fire and flame spread are very complex phenomenon to study. Several aspects need to be considered and treated. In order to be able to do a correct analysis of the flame spread phenomenon, which is necessary to be able to predict flame spread, knowledge of material properties are needed. Material properties can be obtained in different ways. Traditionally material data have been obtained by testin

BJECTIVE: To estimate the influence of delayed umbilical cord clamping at birth on arterial and venous umbilical cord blood gases, bicarbonate (HCO3-), base excess (BE) and lactate in vigorous newborns. SETTING: University hospital. DESIGN: Prospective observational. SAMPLE: Vaginally delivered term newborns. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Umbilical cord arterial and venous blood was sampled repeatedly eve
