Background:: Those who are seriously ill and facing death are often living with physical, emotional, social, and spiritual suffering. Teamwork is considered to be necessary to holistically meet the diverse needs of patients in palliative care. Reviews of studies regarding palliative care team outcomes have concluded that teams provide benefits, especially regarding pain and symptom management. Muc

In this paper, I describe systems and prototypes we created in the natural language processing group at Lund to extract structured knowledge from text. Starting from syntactic and semantic parsingcomponents,wedevelopedapplicationsthatcanhandlelargecorpora,typicallycomplete Wikipedia versions consisting of millions of documents and process text to identify entities and the relations between them. I

Background: The production of ethanol and other fuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic materials is dependent of efficient xylose conversion. Xylose fermentation capacity in yeasts is usually linked to xylose reductase (XR) accepting NADH as cofactor. The XR from Scheffersomyces stipitis, which is able to use NADH as cofactor but still prefers NADPH, has been used to generate recombinant xylose-

An overview of optical techniques for environmental monitoring is presented. Range-resolved measurements of atmospheric pollutants can be performed using the differential absorption lidar technique. Fluorescence lidar allows assessment of vegetation status and also the conditions of the facades of historical buildings. Diode lasers provide particularly realistic schemes for atmospheric gas analysi

The ESS linac is under construction by the ESS partner institutes (socalled In-Kind Contributors - IKC) and will operate the most powerful proton beam ever for neutron spallation source. The linac delivers 5 MW via 2 GeV protons at a repetition rate of 14 Hz at the He-cooled solid tungsten target. The pulsed neutrons, result of the spallation, will reach the science instruments after having been m

ObjectivesPeople with serious illness approaching end of life often end up in emergency and hospital care, frequently against expressed preferences. Consequently, oncology trials record care days as a measure of treatment burden called “time toxicity.” However, this measure ignores the diminishing marginal utility of time: that the value of a day is higher when fewer remain. We aimed to incorporat

Growing evidence of the microbiome's importance for plant ecology highlights the need for conservation strategies that consider both plants and their microbial partners, the holobiont. Population genomics are valuable tools for designing conservation strategies but rarely accounts for host- or site-specific microbial interactions. Orchids, with their dependence on specific mycorrhizal fungi, exemp

Introduction: Suicidal behavior results from a complex interplay of psychiatric, psychosocial, socioeconomic, and structural factors and requires coordinated approaches across care sectors. Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is widely regarded as essential for bridging gaps in care, yet profession-level descriptions of how IPC is organized and where structural bottlenecks occur in suicide preve

Background: Cognitive rigidity and working memory impairment are established features of internalizing syndromes. Growing evidence suggests that deficits in affective control –cognitive control in the context of emotion – may underpin elevated emotion-related impulsivity in various psychiatric disorders. Objective: This study examines two components of affective control (affective flexibility and

In this article the medialization of everyday life is discussed, as it appears in the norwegian novelist Jan Kjaerstads "Förföraren" (The Seducer). I mainly focus upon the intermedia aspects between literature and other art and media forms, such as TV, film, music, etc. Another aspect discussed in the article is the cluster of connections between Norway/Scandinavia and the rest of the world, which

This report evaluates and compares the methods in fire inspection at Malmø Fire Brigade and Copenhagen Fire Brigade. The report also examines fire safety laws and regulations and the educational differences of the fire inspectors in Malmø and Copenhagen. The investigation is a project for Malmø Fire Brigade and Copenhagen Fire Brigade in co-operation with the Department of Fire Safety Engineering

In this study, the transmission and reflection of two conductive fabrics are investigated in the frequency range from 2 to 18 GHz. One of the fabrics is a non-woven polypyrrole and the other consists of a polyethylene warp with steel threads in the weft. Reflection and transmission measurements are performed in order to characterize the electromagnetic properties of the materials. Reflection measu

BACKGROUND: Cost-effective fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysate to ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires efficient mixed sugar utilization. Notably, the rate and yield of xylose and arabinose co-fermentation to ethanol must be enhanced. RESULTS: Evolutionary engineering was used to improve the simultaneous conversion of xylose and arabinose to ethanol in a recombinant industrial Sacc

The asymptotic distribution of the maximum Mn=max1= 0 as t -> ~ or if Σr2t<~, then the limiting distribution is the same as for a sequence of independent normal variables. Here it is shown that this also follows from a weaker condition, which only puts a restriction

A combined sample preparation and sample presentation device, Integrated Selective Enrichment Target (ISET), consisting of an array with 96 perforated nanovials is described. Each perforated nanovial can be filled with soild-phase extraction media for purification and concentration of biomolecules prior to mass spectrometry. The ISET platform provides an efficient, economic and generic sample trea
