In this paper we argue that comprehensive and systematic parental education has the potential to equip young adults with the necessary information for the responsible exercise of their autonomy in choices about reproduction and parenting. Education can allow young adults to acquire largely accurate beliefs about reproduction and parenting and about the implications of their reproductive and parent
Connected Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) with Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication are becoming an essential component of the transportation system. Self-driving cars have the potential to optimize the roads' traffic flow, fuel consumption and remove the possibility of human error and distractions. In these systems, all involved vehicles must be fully autonomous for maximum gain. However, a fully aut
The direct reaction between carbohydrates and CO2 has recently attracted attention in the context of cellulose dissolution and derivatization as well as carbon capture applications. We have directly demonstrated the formation of cellulose carbonate upon the introduction of CO2 into a non-aqueous cellulose solution by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Comparison of the observed spectra with
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. The motor and non-motor symptoms of PD lead to a number of consequences in everyday life for persons with PD (PwPD). PwPD continuously need to adapt to their new life situation and despite medical treatment, the impact of PD on everyday life is inevitable and can lead to a lower level of life satisfaction (LS). LS is a
Vasectomy is a practical and straightforward approach to birth control. This paper presented a 31-year-old patient who desired torestore his fertility five years after being vasectomized. He met several obstacles. He developed severe psychological distress withsymptoms of stress, anxiety, and aggression. He underwent microsurgical vasovasostomy, and vassal patency was confirmedby return of spermat
We suggest the hybrid model for the description of the dipole spreading widths, in which the strength function is built on the one-phonon strength distribution folded with the energy-dependent Lorentzian. Its energy dependence is brought about by (i) the energy-dependent smearing parameter and (ii) the energy-dependent shift of the one-phonon states. These variables are estimated by means of the t
In this paper, channel measurement campaigns at center frequency of 72 GHz with 2 GHz bandwidth conducted by Huawei company are introduced. The transmitter and receiver make use of similar horn antennas which are rotated step by step in the directional domains to capture the frequency spectra of spatial channels in line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight scenarios of indoor environments. The data is a
In this paper, a measurement campaign for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel characterization in both line-of-sight (LoS) and non-LoS outdoor environments is introduced. The measurements are conducted at the center frequency of 15 GHz with a bandwidth of 4 GHz. A virtual 40× 40 planar antenna array formed by stepping a vertically-polarized bi-conical omni-directional antenna (OD
In this contribution, a measurement campaign for high- speed-train (HST) channel is introduced where the down- link signals of in-service Long Time Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) network deployed along the HST railway between Beijing to Shanghai are acquired. Channel impulse responses (CIRs) are extracted from received signals, and concatenated power delay profiles (CPDPs) are illustrated. According t
Millimeter-wave with ultrawide bandwidth available and ability to pack massive number of antennas in a small area is considered the key enabler for future generation communication systems. Accurate understanding and modeling of the ultrawideband propagation channel with large-scale array configuration is essential. In this contribution, a realistic spherical-propagation signal model considering th
In this paper, a recently conducted measurement campaign for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) propagation channel characterization is introduced. Two vehicles carrying a transmitter and a receiver, respectively, have been driven along an eight-lane road with heavy traffic. The measurement was conducted with 100 MHz signal bandwidth at a carrier frequency of 5.9 GHz. Channels are observed consisting of two
The operating mechanisms of a planar patch antenna with a parasitic strip is analyzed in this paper. The patch antenna uses a thin parasitic strip to realize beam deflection, which facilitates switchable beam. The beam deflection effect of the parasitic strip can be explained by using characteristic mode analysis (CMA). Specifically, the parasitic strip introduces a new mode that interacts with a
Background: Respiratory viruses are the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and hospitalisation in infants and young children. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the main infectious agent in this population. Palivizumab is administered intramuscularly every month during five months in the first RSV season to prevent serious RSV LRTI in children. Given its high cost, it is e

This Movement Disorder Society Genetic mutation database Systematic Review focuses on monogenic atypical parkinsonism with mutations in the ATP13A2, DCTN1, DNAJC6, FBXO7, SYNJ1, and VPS13C genes. We screened 673 citations and extracted genotypic and phenotypic data for 140 patients (73 families) from 77 publications. In an exploratory fashion, we applied an automated classification procedure via a
Rapporten är den första förstudie för etablering av en Science park i Helsingborg. Lunds universitet bidrog i arbetet genom att tillhandahålla underlag kring Lunds universitets drivkrafter i en sådan etablering och diskussioner kring profilering. Arbetet skedde i samverkan mellan Helsingborg stad, Lunds universitet och Sydsvenska Industri- och Handelskammaren. Helsingborg stad är ägare och avsända
BACKGROUND: Spending time in natural environments is beneficial for mental health and cognitive function. Unfortunately, many elderly citizens, who would potentially gain from these beneficial effects, have limited or no access to natural environments. Virtual reality may provide the experience of being present in a natural environment without the need of transportation. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of
Background: Lead-time is defined as the time by which screening advances the diagnosis compared with absence of screening. A sufficiently long lead-time needs to be achieved so that cancer can be detected while still curable. A very short lead-time may indicate poor sensitivity of the screening test, while a very long lead-time suggests overdiagnosis. Material and methods: In the first screening r
