BACKGROUND AND AIMS: This study aimed to develop a prediction model for identifying individuals at high absolute risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) for endoscopic screening at a curable stage based on readily identifiable risk factors.METHODS: This was a nationwide Swedish population-based, case-control study, including 167 new cases of ESCC and 820 randomly selected control partici
Moving forward, higher education will face a variety of challenges, especially in 2020/2030, due to technological development and digitalization. Digitalization in society has grown, and society fosters digital citizenship to a greater extent. Students entering higher education today have grown up with the Internet and mobile devices. Daily life, schools, and work have also become more mobile beca
Actual evapotranspiration (ETa) plays a crucial role in the water and energy cycles of the earth. An accurate estimate of the ETa is essential for management of the water resources, agriculture, and irrigation, as well as research on atmospheric variations. Despite the importance of accurate ETa values, estimating and mapping them remains challenging due to the physical and biological complexity o

The McStas neutron ray-tracing simulation package is a versatile tool for producing accurate neutron simulations, extensively used for design and optimization of instruments, virtual experiments, data analysis and user training. In McStas, component organization and simulation flow is intrinsically linear: the neutron interacts with the beamline components in a sequential order, one by one. Histor
BACKGROUND: Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is an alcohol use biomarker with higher clinical sensitivity and specificity than commonly used alcohol markers. Since its introduction as a clinical alcohol-marker in 2006, the number of samples sent to our laboratory for the determination of PEth has shown a strong annual increase. This has prompted the need to develop a cost-effective and reliable analytic
Mätning av partiklars och cellers akustiska egenskapar genom partikelspårningshastighet I många medicinska sammanhang är man intresserad av att kunna separera olika celltyper från varandra, exempelvis vita blodkroppar från ett blodprov eller insulinproducerande celler från bukspottskörteln. Det finns ett antal olika metoder för att genomföra denna separation. En tämligen ny metod bygger på akustoAcoustophoresis is a method to manipulate and move cells or particles suspended in a medium using acoustic waves. The speed of the acoustophoretic motion depends on the cells' acoustic mobility, i.e. their size, density and compressibility relative to the medium. Differences in acoustic mobility can be used to separate particles from each other. Separation is an important tool within biomedica
Popular science: Public transport plays an important role in enabling people to move from one place to another. The provision of information related to public transportation enables travelers to pre-plan their journeys and even save time that would have been spent asking around or looking for this information from other sources. The city of Nairobi has a population of about four million people, mo
The past years have seen increasing interest in nonlinear optical microscopic imaging approaches for the investigation of diseases due to the method's unique capabilities of deep tissue penetration, 3D sectioning and molecular contrast. Its application in clinical routine diagnostics, however, is hampered by large and costly equipment requiring trained staff and regular maintenance, hence it has n
Objective: Prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF), physicians can choose either recombinant or urine-derived follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) for ovarian stimulation. The common polymorphism N680S (rs6166) in the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) has been linked to individual variability in ovarian response to FSH stimulation and IVF outcomes, including live birth rates, highlighting i
Aims Cardiac telerehabilitation addresses common barriers for attendance at exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR). Pragmatic real-world studies are however lacking, limiting generalizability of available evidence. We aimed to evaluate feasibility, safety, and patient perceptions of remotely delivered EBCR in a multicentre clinical practice setting after myocardial infarction (MI). Methods a
Background: Nursing care provided at night has a different purpose and objective to that provided during the day. A review of the literature does not reveal any scientifically tested research instruments for evaluating and comparing the nurse's assessment of nursing care with the patient's perception at night. Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and test an instrument for eva
We face closely intertwined crises related to biodiversity, climate change, global health andinequality. Unfortunately, the knowledge that could help overcome these existential crises isscattered across millions of scientific articles, reports, policy documents, databases, andindividual datasets, far exceeding human processing capabilities. This hinders evidence-basedresearch, innovation and polic
Att byggsektorn står inför ett rådande klimatnödläge är ett faktum. Idag investeras hundratals miljarder kronor för att i framtiden kunna producera fossilfritt stål; trots det läggs lite fokus på miljöoptimering av konstruktioner. Syftet med arbetet är att utvärdera hur parametrisk design kan användas som verktyg för att miljöoptimera stålstommar i industritrapptorn samt undersöka vilken profiltypThe fact that the construction sector faces a prevailing climate emergency is undeniable. Today, hundreds of billions of kronor are being invested to develop fossil-free steel; yet little focus is placed on environmental optimization of constructions. The purpose of this work is to evaluate how parametric design can be used as a tool for environmental optimization of steel staircase towers, as wel
The recrystallization behavior of five starch materials, native waxy maize starch, and starches modified by acid hydrolysis and mechanical treatments, were investigated by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) and electron microscopy (SEM). The starches were known to vary significantly in molecular weights but not in the degree of branching. Microspheres manufactured from one of these starches w
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling syftar till att förbättra styrningen av myoelektriska handproteser. De primära målen har varit (1) att generera korrekt kontroll för så många handrörelser som möjligt, (2) att förbättra träningsförfarandet så att operatören på ett intuitivt sätt snabbt kan bemästra ett flertal rörelser och (3) att minska tiden som behövs för att matematiskt justera in sAn investigation of improvements of myoelectric prostheses has been undertaken. The primary aims of this thesis were (1) to generate an accurate prediction of as many hand movement as possible, (2) to produce a training setup for subjects allowing intuitive and instant control over multiple movements, and (3) to reduce the training cycle for the control system to a maximum of a couple of minutes t
