The distance of sprinklers below ceiling is of fundamental importance since it has a great influence on activation time. Accepted distances are specified in different sprinkler standards such as NFPA 13, FM 2-0 and EN 12845 for different configurations. This distance is unambiguously defined for flat smooth ceilings, but for corrugated ceilings, such as corrugated metal deck ceilings found in many
Objectives Preventing adverse events (AEs) after orthopaedic surgery is a field with great room for improvement. A Swedish instrument for measuring AEs after hip arthroplasty based on administrative data from the national patient register is used by both the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register and the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions. It has never been validated and its accuracy
Background: Despite improvements in surgical methodologies and perioperative chemo- and radiotherapy, the prognosis for patients with esophageal and gastric cancer remains poor. Hence, there is a great need to identify complementary biomarkers for improved treatment stratification. Tumor-infiltrating immune cells have been shown to impact on outcome in many types of cancer, including gastroesophag
The transcription factor MYC is a well-described oncogene with an important role in lymphomagenesis, but its significance for clinical outcome in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) remains to be determined. We performed an investigation of the expression of MYC protein in a cohort of 251 MCL patients complemented by analyses of structural aberrations and mRNA, in a sub-cohort of patients. Fourteen percent
Although the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone. There is currently no known investigation comparing fit results obtained from LCM fitting over the full complex data versus the real data and how these resul
Radiative lifetimes were determined for three quartet states of neutral nitrogen, and sequences of Rydberg states were studied using depletion spectroscopy. Free nitrogen atoms were generated by photodissociation of N2O using frequency-tripled dye-laser radiation that was two-photon resonant with the 2p(2)3p 4S or 4D states. Further quartet states were reached by a subsequent single-photon absorpt
In the seminal cases C-156/21 and C-157/21 (‘Budget Conditionality Cases’) the Court of Justice of the European Union demonstrated a shift in the perception of the operational functionality of foundational values of the EU, establishing that the rule of law is a founding value of the Union which represents a legal norm and imposes an obligation on the Member States to comply with its constituent e
INTRODUCTION: Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) is an oncogenic protein that has been associated with a decrease in infiltrating T-cells in periampullary adenocarcinoma. This study aimed to investigate whether this is also the case for colorectal cancer (CRC) and to evaluate the relationship between COMP expression and clinopathological features.METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to d
Context. Globular clusters (GCs) carry information about the formation histories and gravitational fields of their host galaxies. It was found before that the radial profiles of the volume number density of GCs in GC systems (GCSs) follow broken power laws, while the breaks occur approximately at the a0 radii. These are the radii at which the gravitational fields of the galaxies equal the galactic
BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that Tanzanian MSM might prefer consulting pharmacies and drugstores, rather than public healthcare services, when in need of STI medicines and treatment. Yet, few studies have explored the experiences of providing services to MSM clients among those working at pharmacies and drugstores and examined what challenges they encounter in providing these services.
Background: Limited scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in elderly with comorbidities. Aim: To explore patient-related factors and outcomes in patients ≥75 years with diabetes and a foot ulcer. Method: Sub-analysis of consecutively presenting patients ≥75 years (N = 1008) from a previous study on 2,480 patients with diabetic foot ulcer treated in a multidiscipl
The first aim of this study was to on historical background survey women's alcohol habits and especially to investigate women aged 50-59 living in the Lund area. The second aim was to increase the understanding of how women's sex role has a restrictive influence on their alcohol habits. To investigate women's alcohol habits I made two quantitative studies. From secondary data I found t
My intention with this project was to investigate the possibilities and difficulties with working in Vietnam as a Scandinavian designer. As a means of the investigation I was going to develop products in collaborations with local handicraft manufacturers using locally sourced materials. In the end it turned out to be so much more than only investigating possibilities and difficulties; it turned o
