Molecular profiles of asynchronous breast cancer metastases are of clinical relevance to individual patients' treatment, whereas the role of profiles in synchronous lymph node metastases is not defined. The present study aimed to assess individual biomarkers and molecular subtypes according to the St Gallen classification in primary breast tumours, synchronous lymph node metastases and asynchronou

To study cortical re-organisation after acute hand deafferentation, we investigated 10 experimental subjects and 10 controls for function in the left hand, before, during and after tourniquet induced anaesthesia of the right hand. fMRI was performed in three experimental subjects. Tourniquet-induced right hand anaesthesia resulted in rapid significant improvement in grip strength, tactile discrimi

There is an increasing consensus that individual adaptive capacities are critical to successfully adapt to climate change and achieve sustainable development. However, little is known about adaptive practices, particularly in developed countries. Against this background, this paper investigates the strategies used by Swedish citizens to adapt to (changing) climatic variability and extremes. It off

The objective of this study was to compare subjects who sustained an ACL injury during soccer 16 years ago with a control group with regard to knee kinematics and kinetics of gait, step activity and cross over hop. Secondly, in the injured subjects, the purpose was to study the impact on kinematics and kinetics of characteristics such as operative status, meniscal resection, being symptomatic, hav

With today's improved measurement and data storing technologies it has become common to collect data in search for hypotheses instead of for testing hypotheses---to do exploratory data analysis. Finding patterns and structures in data is the main goal. This thesis deals with two kinds of structures that can convey relationships between different parts of data in a high-dimensional space: manifolds

Planets form in protoplanetary discs of gas, dust and ice around newborn stars. In the Solar System, not only planets are found as a result from the time of planet formation, but also remnant planetesimals in the form of asteroids, Kuiper belt objects and comets. Recent observations, e.g. by the space mission Rosetta, have found that comets are porous objects barely able to hold themselves togethe

In this paper, the effect hosting a mega sports event has on economic growth and the inflow of foreign direct investment is investigated over the period 1970 – 2016. This paper differentiates between six different mega sports events. Furthermore, it also investigates whether hosting mega sports events in developing countries has a different impact on economic growth and the inflow of foreign direc

Popular Abstract in Swedish SVENSK SAMMANFATTNING (SUMMARY IN SWEDISH) Hematopoes och leukemi Hematopoes är benämningen på den process vari alla blodceller genom hela livet kontinuerligt utvecklas i benmärgen, samt vid bildandet av lymfocyter även i lymfkörtlarna. Varje dygn bildas det ca 1012 nya celler i benmärgen för att ersätta uttjänta blodceller som dör och bryts ned. Ett litet antal stamcelWilms’ tumour gene 1 (WT1) encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor functioning as a key regulator in organ development. WT1 was first identified as a tumour suppressor gene due to its inactivation in Wilms’ tumour cases, a childhood kidney cancer. In adult tissues WT1 expression is restricted to few organs, but various forms of cancers express high WT1 levels, suggesting an oncogenic potential

Landing from a jump is related to predictive sensorimotor control. Frontal, central and parietal brain areas are known to play a role in this process based on online sensory feedback. This can be measured by EEG. However, there is only limited knowledge about brain activity during predictive preparation for drop landings (DL). The purpose is to demonstrate changes in brain activity in preparation

One of the required communication solutions to support novel use cases, e.g. in industrial environments, for 5G systems and beyond is ultra-reliability low-latency communication (URLLC). An enabling technology for URLLC is massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), which with its large antenna arrays can increase reliability due to improved user separation, array gain and the channel hardening

We envision a future in which multi-antenna technology effectively exploits the spatial domain as a set of non-interfering orthogonal resources, allowing for flexible resource allocation and efficient modulation/demodulation. We may refer to this paradigm as orthogonal space-division multiplexing (OSDM). On the other hand, reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has emerged as a promising technol

The Gullåkra wetland is located around 5 km south of the modern city of Lund and around 2.7 km east of the important Iron Age settlement of Uppåkra in Scania, southern Sweden. In the 1840s, a remarkable discovery was made in the wetland: a bronze lur dated to c. 1300 BCE, along with a boat and the bones of a large animal offering. As Bronze Age boats are exceedingly rare, this discovery makes the

Code review is a well-established and valued practice in the software engineering community contributing to both code quality and interpersonal benefits. However, there are challenges in both tools and processes that give rise to misalignments and frustrations. Recent research seeks to address this by automating code review entirely, but we believe that this risks losing the majority of the interp

Large intelligent surface (LIS) has gained momentum as a potential 6G-enabling technology that expands the benefits of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). On the other hand, orthogonal space-division multiplexing (OSDM) may give a promising direction for efficient exploitation of the spatial resources, analogous as what is achieved with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)

Introduction: The rate of vaginal hysterectomies is declining globally. We investigated surgical techniques, outcomes, and costs in a large national cohort of benign hysterectomies with prerequisites for vaginal surgery. Material and Methods: A retrospective register-based cohort study with benign hysterectomies in the Swedish GynOp registry 2014–2023 (n = 17 804). Inclusion criteria were non-prol

In what ways could cellular massive MIMO be improved? This technology has already been shown to bring huge performance gains, however, coverage holes and difficulties to transmit multiple streams to multi-antenna users because of insufficient channel rank remain issues. Distributed MIMO, also known as cell-free massive MIMO, might be the ultimate solution. However, while being a powerful technolog

The increase in the number of base station (BS) antennas calls for efficient solutions to deal with the increased interconnection bandwidth and processing complexity of traditional centralized approaches. Decentralized approaches are thus gaining momentum, since they achieve important reductions in data/processing volume by preprocessing the received signals before forwarding them to a central nod

Managed honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are increasingly used worldwide to meet the growing demand for agricultural pollination services and honey production. The spillover of managed honey bees into natural habitats can strongly transform wild plant-pollinator communities, resulting in mixed consequences for plant reproduction. To effectively predict and cope with the impacts of managed honey bees
