What to do in case of fire at work You must know in advance what to do if fire breaks out in the building/buildings where you work. To find out, do this: Go out into the corridor and carefully study the Evacuation Plan available there. The evacuation plan will have information about: Firefighting equipment and alarm buttons. All firefighting equipment is indicated with red signs along the corridor

Little is known about virome changes in raw and drinking water over time, and differences between raw water sources and treatment technologies. This study used metagenomics to assess viruses prevalent in raw and drinking water samples over 1 year from six Swedish drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) with varying treatment barriers and with different raw water sources. Sequences homologous to kn

PURPOSE: We studied the relative contributions of total peripheral resistance (TPR), stroke volume (SV) and heart rate (HR) to low blood pressure in classical orthostatic hypotension (cOH) on group and individual levels.METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed tilt test records from cOH patients and age/sex-matched controls. We quantified relative effects of HR, SV and TPR on mean arterial pressure (M

This article is about finding the limit set for banded Toeplitz matrices. Our main result is a new approach to approximate the limit set Λ(b), where b is the symbol of the banded Toeplitz matrix. The new approach is geometrical and based on the formula Λ(b) = ∩ρ∊(0, ∞) sp T (bρ), where ρ is a scaling factor, i.e., bρ(t):= b(ρt), and sp(∙) denotes the spectrum. We show that the full intersection ca

Med en ökande åldrande befolkning kommer antalet vårdbehövande äldre med kognitiva funktionsnedsättningar (olika former av demenssjukdomar) att öka. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka förhållandet mellan äldre personers självbestämmanderätt kontra deras behov av vård. Vård kan inte ges utan den enskildes samtycke, om inte undantag finns uttryckt i lag. Ett giltigt samtycke kräver att den enskilde As the number of elderly people in the population grows, the number of elderly people who suffer from cognitive disabilities (different forms of dementia) who require care grows as well. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the relationship between elderly people’s autonomy and their need of care. Care cannot be given without consent from the individual unless there are exceptions stated in th

The freely dissolved concentration (C-free) of pollutants is generally believed to be bioavailable and thus responsible for toxic effects. The C-free of organic weak acids and bases consists of a dissociated and a nondissociated fraction. By using chlorophenols as model compounds, a negligible-depletion extraction technique, equilibrium sampling through membranes (ESTM), was developed for the meas

The PICT method (pollution-induced community tolerance) can be used to assess whether changes in soil microbial response are due to heavy metal toxicity or not. Microbial community tolerance baseline levels can, however, also change due to variations in soil physicochemical properties. Thirty soil samples (0–20 cm), with geochemical baseline concentrations (GBCs) of heavy metals and from five diff

AIM: A survival benefit has been observed for colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis treated by cytoreductive surgery with intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). However, this treatment modality is associated with a considerable morbidity and mortality and in a significant number of patients survival is not improved. We studied whether poor survivors c

Water in a full-scale drinking water treatment plant was irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) doses of 250, 400, and 600 J/m2, and the effect on bacterial communities investigated using 16s rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, heterotrophic plate counts (HPCs), coliform, and Escherichia coli counts. The bacteria in the irradiated water were also analyzed following storage for 6 days at 7 °C, to approximate

The transcription factor SOX2 is a well-established and important stem cell marker. Its role in cancer biology remains unclear, but it has been proposed to also be a marker of cancer stem cells. We investigated the role of SOX2 protein expression in women with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) to determine its potential prognostic and treatment predictive value. We constructed a tissue micr

We propose that CDCL SAT solver heuristics such as restarts and clause database management can be analysed by studying the resolution proofs produced by the solvers, and by trimming these proofs to extract the clauses actually used to reach the final conclusion. We find that for non-adaptive Luby restarts higher frequency makes both untrimmed and trimmed proofs smaller, while adaptive restarts bas

Background: The optimal treatment for metastatic high-grade gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms when Ki-67 ≤55% is unknown. A prospective multi-centre phase 2 study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of everolimus and temozolomide as first-line treatment for these patients. Methods: Patients received everolimus 10 mg daily continuously and temozolomide 150 mg/m2 fo

Traditionally, psychophysical data is modelled by fitting individual curves to each participant’s data and then by statistical analysis of the extracted parameters. A now viable alternative to this traditional two-stage approach is Bayesian hierarchical modelling (BHM). BHM allows for modelling all of the data and all of the parameters in one-step rather than two. Here, BHM is used to analyse the

Modifiable factors, such as alcohol or physical exertion, may trigger atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes. Identifying and eliminating these triggers can lead to effective strategies which reduce risk of AF recurrence. This study aims to evaluate pre-and post-trigger AF in long-term photo-plethysmogram (PPG) signals obtained during daily living from patients with paroxysmal AF. Thirty-seven patients

This study analyzes the thermal performance of an indirect-type solar dryer incorporated with a heat exchanger to recover heat from the exhaust. Data were recorded for 8 h from 9:00 to 17:00 from November to January to determine the drying rate for varying airflows from 2 l/s to 12 l/s under the weather conditions of Nepal and Bhutan. The air temperatures in multiple locations in the dryer were re

Background: As many countries seek to slow the spread of COVID-19 without reimposing national restrictions, it has become important to track the disease at a local level to identify areas in need of targeted intervention. Methods: In this prospective, observational study, we did modelling using longitudinal, self-reported data from users of the COVID Symptom Study app in England between March 24,
