AIMS : The non-invasive assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function and filling pressure in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is still an open issue. Pulmonary blood volume index (PBVI) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been proposed as a quantitative biomarker of haemodynamic congestion. We aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of PBVI for left atrial pressure (LAP) esti
In beer, the main amphiphilic components are protein and iso-humulone. Two major populations of protein are identified as lipid transfer protein (LTP) (9.7 kDa) and protein Z (43 kDa). In this paper, protein and iso-humulone are extracted from barley malt and hop, respectively, based on the brewing process. Mixtures of protein and iso-humulone are mixed at different concentrations and centrifuged.
Background: Online gambling has increased in recent years, including online casino games and live sports betting which constitute rapid gambling activities with significant potential for gambling-related harm. There is a paucity of research examining whether specific gambling patterns are related to problem gambling and over-indebtedness, when controlling for psychological distress, gender, and ot
After the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the Cold War, a certain sense of optimism swept across Europe. Some 25 years later, everything seems radically different. With the considerable inroads made into mainstream politics by right-wing populist parties across the continent, there is no shortage of gloom and worry. Nevertheless, despite numerous examples of retrogressive forms of mobilizat
This paper discusses a presumed medieval tower in Blekinge. The tower is situated close to a harbour in an inlet of the Baltic just east of modern day Ronnebyhamn. Archaeological investigations in 2021 and 2023 have however firmly dated the tower to the 17th century, making it the first Scandinavian example of a tower-house from the Early Modern era. The tower originally had at least three floor-l
Tropical biodiversity is threatened by the expansion of oil-palm plantations. Reduced-impact farming systems such as agroforests, have been proposed to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In regions where oil-palm plantations already dominate the landscape, this increase can only be achieved through systematic ecological restoration. However, our knowledge about the underlying ecologi
The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) has and continues to be extensively investigated, and represents by far the most studied somatic stem cell. Development of various experimental technologies, including fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), have been crucial for research advancements within the hematopoietic field. However, utilization of flow cytometry techniques put high demands on study de
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue protein 1 (MALT1) plays a key role in adaptive immune responses by modulating specific intracellular signalling pathways that control the development and proliferation of both T and B cells. Dysfunction of these pathways is coupled to the progress of highly aggressive lymphoma as well as to potential development of an array of different immune disorders.

BackgroundResearch is limited about how the introduction of new ways of delivering and conducting occupational therapy, in accordance with expected changes in health care, is experienced by occupational therapists (OTs).AimTo explore how OTs experienced use of a new internet-based intervention, ‘Strategies for Empowering activities in Everyday life’ (SEE), focusing on supporting client resources t
Implementing solar photovoltaic systems in the built environment (BEPV) is critical for the construction sector’s contribution to mitigating climate change. While previous studies give various insights into innovation implementation, the challenges to value co-creation by construction actors remain underexplored. By studying the alignment of business ecosystems implementing BEPV in the Swedish bui
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kärnan kan ses som en samling nukleoner vilka hålls samman av den starka kraften. Nukleonerna är protoner (p) med laddning +1 och neutroner (n) med laddning 0. Kraften kan beskrivas som ett utbyte av mesoner såsom pioner (pi) vilka förekommer i tre laddningstillstånd pi+, pi- och pi0 (laddning +1, -1 och 0). Inuti kärnan rör sig nukleonerna och utbytesmesonerna vilket gA comprehensive near-threshold 4He(g,n) absolute cross section measurement has been performed at the high-resolution tagged-photon facility MAX-lab located in Lund, Sweden. The 20 < Eg < 45 MeV tagged photons (covering the Giant Dipole Resonance energy region) were directed towards a liquid 4He target, and knocked-out neutrons were detected in a pair of 60 cm x 60 cm vetoed NE213A liquid scintilla
Popular Abstract in Swedish Olika sätt att mäta substrat (monosackarider) och produkter (främst etanol) vid tillverkning av biobränslet etanol har studerats. Etanoltillverkning sker i en fermentor med hjälp av mikroorganismer som kan omvandla socker. Det är av stort intresse att mäta koncentrationen av produkter och substrat under tillverkningsprocessens gång för att veta om den fortlöper som den Two different detection methods for on-line monitoring of substrates and products in ethanol fermentations have been studied. Amperometric biosensors were developed for use as detectors in flow injection or liquid chromatographic (LC) systems. Carbon paste was used as the electrode material and served as the supporting matrix to incorporate the enzymes alcohol oxidase or pyranose oxidase. Hydrogen
Accurate imputation is essential for the reliability and success of downstream tasks. Recently, diffusion models have attracted great attention in this field. However, these models neglect the latent distribution in a lower-dimensional space derived from the observed data, which limits the generative capacity of the diffusion model. Additionally, dealing with the original missing data without labe
This article discusses the interweaving of queerness, affect and translation in the asylum process, focusing on the role of legal representatives. Through 16 semi-structured interviews with asylum lawyers in Greece, it explores their collaborative work with queer asylum seekers in preparing a “credible” account. Approaching legal preparation as a process of translating applicants’ emotions into wh
INTRODUCTION: Plasma biomarkers offer promise for improving the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and differentiating AD and other neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) like frontotemporal dementia (FTD) from primary psychiatric disorders (PPDs), particularly in younger patients. METHODS: In this prospective study, we investigated plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217), neurofilament light chain
The national plebiscite in Colombia regarding the peace agreement between the government and FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) was held on October 2nd 2016 and was suprisingly won by the No-side with a minimum of votes resulting in a rejection of the current peace deal. Yet, a majority of the Colombian people did not show up at the polls to vote. Less than 40% of the electorates actual
Nödvärnsrätten regleras i 24 Kap. 1 § BrB. Den typen som är relevant för uppsatsen är nödvärn i förhållande till ”ett påbörjat eller överhängande brottsligt angrepp på person eller egendom,” vilken regleras i punk 1. Nödvärn är en objektiv ansvarsfrihetsgrund som kräver att brukaren gör avvägningar mellan angrepp och försvar för att handlingen inte skall anses som uppenbart oförsvarlig. Detta krävThe right to self-defence is regulated in chapter 24 § 1 of the swedish Penal Code. The type which is relevant to this paper is the one concerned with current or imminent criminal attack on a person or property which is found in the first point of the paragraph. Self-defence is an objective ground for discharge of liability. For the act of self-defence to not be considered obviously unjustified th
If radar surveillance systems are installed near a wall, their radiation is reflected not only from moving objects but also from the wall. In this way, nonexisting socalled ghost targets can lead to false detections. This thesis exploits such ghost detections to infer the position and extension of a wall next to a radar sensor. This is done by geometric equations only and proves especially succe
