Parkinson´s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurological diseases with both motor and non-motor symptoms that can be perceived as difficult to control despite medical treatment. This leads to several consequences in everyday life for example difficulties in activities of daily living (ADL), sometimes already at diagnosis. Therefore, rehabilitation is important to manage the consequences of

Transitioning from linear to circular production systems requires interactions that include cross-sectoral collaboration in networks. Understanding the role of collaboration within these networks can support the transition to a circular economy. To understand cross-sectoral collaborative endeavors, this paper develops a collaboration framework for circular economy by combining and interlinking thr

Stressful or traumatic memories of an intensive care stay may lead to long-term psychological morbidity. Memory assessment is therefore essential to aid in the patients’ recovery process. Acknowledging the large cohort of post ICU patients during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a simple tool for the evaluation of ICU memories is needed. The aim of this study was, therefore, to develop and test the validi

Stress corrosion experiments were performed on unidirectional ECR-glass/polymer composites with the modified polyester, epoxy and vinyl ester resins for the use in high voltage composite insulator applications. Two types of ECR-glass fibers were investigated with low and high counts of gaseous inclusions (seeds) within the glass. The stress corrosion tests were performed in nitric acid under four

The mechanical response of a woven eight-harness satin graphite/polyimide composite has been investigated by performing ± 45° tensile and Iosipescu shear tests at room temperature. Nonlinear finite element simulations of the tests have been conducted to determine internal stress distributions in the ±45° tensile and Iosipescu fabric specimens as a function of load. In the experimental part of this

Exponering för vibrationer genom användning av handhållna maskiner i arbetet kan ge vibrationsskador i händerna. Dessa skador kan ofta vara förödande för den drabbades möjligheter att utföra sitt arbete, innebära ett stort personligt lidande samt stora samhälleliga kostnader då det inte sällan innebär behov av omplacering.Denna rapport är en del av projektet Noll Vibrationsskador, vilket har haft

Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is central to the inflammatory immune response, such as that entrained by BCG immunotherapy for bladder cancer. However, immune-mediated tumour cell killing is subject to modulation by immunoinhibitory “checkpoint” receptors such as PD-L1. We investigated the effects of IFNγ on barrier-forming in vitro-differentiated normal human urothelium using mRNA-sequencing, and showed

Multi-source merging is an established tool for improving large-scale precipitation estimates. Existing merging frameworks typically use gauge-based precipitation error statistics and neglect the inter-dependence of various precipitation products. However, gauge-observation uncertainties at daily and sub-daily time scales can bias merging weights and yield sub-optimal precipitation estimates, part

We have developed a direct immunofluorescence technique utilising chelates of the lanthanide ions europium and terbium conjugated to monoclonal IgGs (Mabs) against prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and alpha-1- antichymotrypsin (ACT) for the detection and quantification on the same tissue section. Strong signals without disturbance from tissue autofluorescence were demonstrated in paraffin sections

Purpose Pretreatment prostate-specific antigen (PSA) dynamics (PSA velocity and PSA doubling time) are widely advocated as useful prognostic markers in prostate cancer. We aimed to assess the published evidence for the clinical utility of PSA dynamics in this population. Methods We conducted a systematic review of studies published before March 2007 in which a PSA dynamic (velocity or doubling tim

Objectives: The introduction of time-dependent reperfusion therapies in acute ischemic stroke has increased the need for early identification. We explore the safety and feasibility of STROKE ALARM which detects sudden arm paresis, the most frequent symptom in stroke. Materials and methods: Consecutive patients admitted with a stroke or TIA at Skåne University Hospital were screened according to in

Objective. To review the currently available data on beam quality correction factors, kQ, for ionization chambers in clinical proton beams and derive their current best estimates for the updated recommendations of the IAEA TRS-398 Code of Practice. Approach. The reviewed data come from 20 publications from which kQ values can be derived either directly from calorimeter measurements, indirectly fro

Computer vision/deep learning-based 3D human pose estimation methods aim to localize human joints from images and videos. Pose representation is normally limited to 3D joint positional/translational degrees of freedom (3DOFs), however, a further three rotational DOFs (6DOFs) are required for many potential biomechanical applications. Positional DOFs are insufficient to analytically solve for joint

Participation in clinical work is important for medical students’ professional development. However, students often report that they experience a passive observer role, and further research on contextual factors that influence student participation is needed. The theory of practice architectures contributes a new perspective to this challenge by elucidating how cultural-discursive, material-econom

Appropriate evaluation and experimental design are fundamental for empirical sciences, particularly in data-driven fields. Due to the successes in computational modeling of languages, for instance, research outcomes are having an increasingly immediate impact on end users. As the gap in adoption by end users decreases, the need increases to ensure that tools and models developed by the research co
