MRI and CT are modalities appropriate for liver imaging. To obtain higher sensitivity in diagnoses of focal lesions in the liver, contrast media (CM) are used. Non-specific extracellular CM are not optimal as they rapidly diffuse into both normal tissue and tumorous tissue. By two different mechanisms, the hepatobiliary route and targeting to the reticuloendothelial system, agents may accumulate i
The indoor climate system, which serves a building with a proper indoor air quality and thermal comfort, has been predominantly designed based on the initial investment costs. A life cycle approach could improve both the economic and environmental performance since the energy use would decrease. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge, models and tools for determining the life cycle cost (LCC) for
Cataloguing electronic documents makes new demands on libraries. This thesis discusses the metadata formats Dublin Core and MARC which are, individually or in combination, commonly used for object description in the digital library. The formats are studied with particular emphasis on characteristics such as underlying reasoning (ambitions during the development of the formats), flexibility (possi
Background: The introduction of a paper-based Community Case Management (CCM) in Malawi has contributed to a reduction of child morbidity and mortality rates. In addition, the introduction of electronic Community Case Management (eCCM) (smartphones with built in CCM apps) may help to reduce the under-five mortality rates even further. Purpose: It is not uncommon for Apps with a similar area of int
Infectious diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality in the world. Severe infections can manifest in many ways, creating a heterogeneous clinical and molecular disease landscape that renders these diseases difficult to research, diagnose, and treat. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of infectious disease, we apply mass spectrometry-based proteomics to analyze blood plasma samples f
Background: Procedures documented by general practitioners in primary care have not been studied in relation to procedure coding systems. We aimed to describe procedures documented by Swedish general practitioners in electronic patient records and to compare them to the Swedish Classification of Health Interventions (KVA) and SNOMED CT. Methods: Procedures in 200 record entries were identified, co
In this paper we propose a new algorithm for solving the Learning With Errors (LWE) problem based on the steps of the famous Blum-Kalai-Wasserman (BKW) algorithm. The new idea is to introduce an additional procedure of mapping subvectors into codewords of a lattice code, thereby increasing the amount of positions that can be cancelled in each BKW step. The procedure introduces an additional noise
A new construction combining LDPC convolutional codes and multilevel coding/modulation is suggested and analyzed. In the case of QPSK, we demonstrate that it has a better performance than an LDPC convolutional code combined with conventional Gray mapping.
A communication system with woven convolutional codes and OFDM is considered. With coherent reception and iterative decoding this combination seems promising over frequency selective channels. The robustness of the considered class of schemes is illustrated by simulation results for specific fixed channel transfer functions and AWGN
Trade remedies - anti-dumping, anti-subsidy and safeguard - are controversial, provoking much argument and differences of opinion. The differences in law between anti-dumping and countervailing measures are marginal. The laws regulating countervailing duties require more sufficient proof (e.g. the existence of subsidy must be shown) than anti-dumping law, and the procedure is often quicker. This i
BackgroundDrugs with anticholinergic properties are associated with cognitive adverse effects, especially in patients vulnerable to central muscarinic antagonism. A variety of drugs show weak, moderate or strong anticholinergic effects. Therefore, the cumulative anticholinergic burden should be considered in patients with cognitive impairment. This study aimed to develop a Swedish Anticholinergic
Mentimeter is an interactive tool you can use to quickly collect anonymous answers from a large or small group of people, for example as part of a presentation. You can choose to receive the answers in many different ways, such as in the form of word clouds, bars or markings on an image. Your student account gives you free access to the full version of Mentimeter.Create your Mentimeter account – m

Background: Many existing patient-reported outcome measures are extensive regarding both patient burden and administration, and in terms of analysing and reporting results. The VascuQoL-6 (VQ6) - a short version of the original Vascular Quality of Life Questionnaire (VascuQoL), a disease-specific instrument for peripheral arterial disease - was recently developed. However, the VQ6 has not yet been
Surveillance cameras are vital in the nuclear power industry where the reactor equipment must constantly be kept under surveillance to maintain safety. Constant monitoring is however difficult due to the highly radioactive environment, which cause cameras to malfunction and eventually break. Malfunction typically manifests itself as quality degradation of the image from the cameras. Initially, tem
