Intranasal cooling can be used to initiate therapeutic hypothermia. However, direct measurement of brain temperature is difficult and the intra-cerebral distribution of temperature changes with cooling is unknown. The purpose of this study was to measure the brain temperature of human volunteers subjected to intranasal cooling using non-invasive magnetic resonance (MR) methods. Intranasal balloons
The problem of classifying short atrial fibrillatory segments in ambulatory ECG recordings as being either paroxysmal or persistent is addressed by investigating a robust approach to signal characterization. The method comprises preprocessing, estimation of the dominant atrial frequency for the purpose of controlling the subbands of a filter bank, and computation of the relative subband (harmonics

The aim of this study is to estimate the average contribution of airborne particulate chemical substances in Falsterbo due to shipping emissions. Particularly the sulphate content will be analysed and its effect on both the environment and health will be discussed. The contribution was calculated using measurements in Falsterbo with a Soot Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (SP-AMS) amongst other
There is an ongoing shift to mobility in business IT, as well as in the consumer space. Users do not demand mobile availability anymore, they simply expect the ability to access business IT with consumer devices. Stemming from this demand, mobile business intelligence (BI) has emerged as a response from the BI industry. Thus, mobile BI is an extension of traditional BI into mobile devices. In line
The building sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily due to two factors: the embodied energy of construction materials and the operational energy consumed over a building’s lifespan. Given this substantial environmental impact, sustainability and climate resilience have become critical priorities in global policy frameworks. Addressing this challenge requires
The COVID-19 crisis introduced telecommuting and distance schooling into households all around the world. When national authorities enforced mitigation measures, they not only limited the spread of the disease, but also altered the lifestyle of many people. The joint effect of millions of people adapting to the new reality gave rise to an altered residential energy consumption pattern. Knowledge a
We analyse the effects of climate anomalies on women’s fertility in West Africa. We combine socioeconomic and fertility data from 10 rounds of Burkina Faso, Guinea, Nigeria and Mali ’s Demographic and Health Surveys and long-term high resolution spatial temperature and precipitation records to assess how women and households adapt their fertility preferences and births in response to exposure to l
The way resources are extracted, consumed and handled after use puts pressure on the environment. In order to slow down the flow of resources, circularity has emerged as a solution by the EU through the Circular Economy Action Plan. To make the transition to a circular economy possible, companies have to adjust their business models accordingly and Product-as-a-Service is one of many circular busi

The 450k Chip Analysis Methylation Pipeline (ChAMP) is a novel Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip data processing algorithm that allows the analysis of copy number alterations (CNAs). With this pipeline we evaluated the prevalence of CNAs in peripheral blood leukocyte samples from healthy Argentinean Andean women with varying exposure to inorganic arsenic in drinking water. Arsenic exp
From epidemiological studies it is known that diabetes patients display increased risk of developing dementia. Moreover, cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are also accompanied by impaired glucose homeostasis and insulin signalling. Although there is plenty of evidence for a connection between insulin-resistant diabetes and AD, definitive linking mechanisms remain elusive. Cerebrova
Laser based spectroscopic techniques can be used in the detection and therapy of many human diseases. Examples will be given from a variety of clinical areas, such as oncology, orthopedics and pediatrics, and also from the field of food safety and antibiotic control.
Environmental or genetic factors are sought to explain the high incidence of thyroid cancer in Iceland. At present, it is impossible to cite any environmental factor, particularly one related to the volcanic activity in the country, which could explain the high incidence of thyroid cancer in Iceland. However, the thyroid gland in Icelanders is very small due to the high intake of iodine from seafo
Based on a review of studies of functional and comparative anatomy of crustacean eyes, a hypothesis is formed on eyes in primitive crustaceans. It is suggested that they were similar to present-day frontal eyes of the malacostracan type. Neuronal architecture suggests that the development to apposition compound eye followed two main routes, one seen in malacostracansand the other in non-malacostra
Climbing racks, carousels, swings and slides can be used for many experiments and demonstrations that offer suprising results, often challenging students' understanding of motion. This paper describes activities used in professional development workshops for teachers on the use of playgrounds in physics teaching. Toys and other simple equipment complement the experience of the body. In addition, s
