Due to advances in technology, sampling procedures and short lag times between successive sampling, autocorrelation among the measured data has become common in most applications. Neglecting autocorrelation leads to a poor false alarm performance. In the current paper, the effect of the autocorrelation on the performance of a variable-parameters multivariate single control chart is investigated in
About a third of all meteorites that fall on Earth today, the stony L-chondrites, originate from a major breakup event in the asteroid belt 466 Ma, in the early Darriwilian. This is the largest asteroid breakup in the past three billion years documented by K-Ar gas-retention ages of recently fallen meteorites. There has been a debate whether the breakup had any effects on Earth’s biota. Based main
Characterising the stop/start walking process of individuals in a crowded and congested space is an important consideration in modelling pedestrian movement. However, the reaction of pedestrians to speed changes, especially to the person in front, has not been fully characterised nor quantified for full adoption in computer models. This study, therefore, explored the different phases of the stop/s
AIM: Breath-holding spells (BHS) are common in children, but evidence-based clinical guidelines are lacking. We investigated a large population-based cohort of BHS patients, to propose a refined description of typical BHS and guidelines for its management.METHODS: In a cross-sectional retrospective study, patients diagnosed with BHS in Southern Sweden 2004-2018 were recruited. Disease characterist
This article offers a framework for the study of research governance effects on scientific fields framed by notions of research quality and the epistemic, organizational, and career choices they entail. The framework interprets the contested idea of 'quality' as an interplay involving notion origins, quality attributes, and contextual sites. We mobilize the origin and site components, to frame org
This study investigates the effect of different mixers and the applicability of the mixing energy (ME) concept to dry powder formulations for inhalation. With the aim to step-wise build and expand this concept, adhesive mixtures of 2 % budesonide and lactose carrier were investigated, both with 1 % magnesium stearate (MgSt) added in a ‘coating’ step, and without, the latter referred to as ‘naked’
Background: Intra- and interfractional variations in anatomy can cause unplanned substantial alterations of the dose distribution of the target in proton therapy. Motion management methods might be used in order to minimize anatomical variations. In the proton therapy of lung cancer, a potential motion management technique is the use of the voluntary breath-hold approach. The aim of this study was
Dr Lisbeth NilssonLearning objectives:1. Describe at least three essential aspects of the facilitating approach.2. Explain why these aspects can facilitate optimal outcomes of intervention.3. Evaluate usefulness of the universal facilitating approach in your own practice.Session description:The process of learning joystick-use and training strategies for each phase in the process were identified i
Study design: Longitudinal prospective cohort study. Objectives: To assess the effects of Active Rehabilitation (AR) training programmes for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) on physical independence, self-efficacy and wheelchair skills, and to identify factors that are associated with gains in these outcomes. Setting: Eight consecutive AR programmes in Sweden. Methods: Participants (n = 1
A series of Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67-xSnxO2 (x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05) materials with mixed P2/P3 phases are synthesized with a conventional solid-state reaction method and investigated as cathode materials for sodium ion batteries. The effects of Sn substitution on the structure and electrochemical performance of the Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 are systematically investigated. The substituted samples show smal
Purpose: The development of blood biomarkers that reflect Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathophysiology (phosphorylated tau and amyloid-β) has offered potential as scalable tests for dementia differential diagnosis and early detection. In 2019, the Geneva AD Biomarker Roadmap Initiative included blood biomarkers in the systematic validation of AD biomarkers. Methods: A panel of experts convened in Nove
Large-scale ab initio calculations of the electronic contribution to the electric quadrupole hyperfine constant B were performed for the 5s25p6s1,3Po1 excited states of neutral tin. To probe the sensitivity of B to different electron correlation effects, three sets of variational multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock and relativistic configuration interaction calculations employing diffe
This transformative study aimed to explore how people who practice BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism) experience therapy; specifically, what sort of therapist responses and qualities they described as problematic and desirable in relation to addressing BDSM in therapy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 Swedish BDSM practitioners with experiences ofThis transformative study aimed to explore how people who practice BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism) experience therapy; specifically, what sort of therapist responses and qualities they described as problematic and desirable in relation to addressing BDSM in therapy.

Background: It is not known to what extent biologic treatment for IBD is captured in the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register (PDR) and the National Patient Register (NPR). Methods: A cross-sectional study from July 2005 until 2017, comparing data on biologic treatment in the PDR and the NPR with medical records. We assessed the proportion of started treatment episodes in the medical records that were
