Objective: The mechanisms and metabolomic profile underlying early vascular ageing have not been explored in the general population. We aimed to investigate the plasma metabolomic profile in aortic stiffness (vascular ageing) and associated risk of incident cardiovascular disease and mortality in the general population.Design and method: We analysed 108 metabolites in plasma of 5172 individuals fr

Abstract in DanishTiden efter den kolde krig er slut. Nu befinder vi os i tiden efter Ukraine-krigen. Hvor stårDanmark og Østersøregionen i et tænkt scenarie, hvor Rusland ikke længere er optaget afkrigen i Ukraine og i stedet reorienterer sig mod vest? I dette arbejdspapir rammesætter vinogle sandsynlige scenarier for Danmarks nærområde. Ved at konstatere, at en demokratiskomstilling af Rusland e

Given population ageing and the emphasis on in-home care, more working-age adults are facing the demands of providing unpaid care to the elderly with potential implications for their own well-being. Such effects likely vary across Europe because care is differently organized with a differing emphasis on public support, dependence on family, and orientation toward gender equality. We studied the re

The paper deals with numerical investigations of load-bearing capacity and fracture behaviour of CrossLaminated Timber at in-plane shear loading. Focus is on shear failure mechanism III, i.e. failure in the crossing areasbetween flatwise bonded laminations, and on evaluating test methods for that failure mode. In current design provisions,this failure mode is characterised by the rolling shear str

The research project Innovative Solutions for Cross Laminated Timber Structures (InnoCrossLam) wasrecently finished. The project aimed at increasing the competitiveness of CLT as a versatile engineered product, byincreasing its predictability in demanding design situations not covered by the guidelines of today, or standards and codesforeseeable in the near future (e.g., second generation of Europ

This paper presents measurement and analysis results for millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) performance in different real-life scenarios with moderate user equipment (UE) mobility. For the measurement campaign, the developed massive MIMO testbed operating at 28GHz called LuMaMi28GHz is employed. In this testbed, the base station has 16 transceiver chains with a

Reliability is becoming increasingly important for many applications envisioned for future wireless systems. A technology that could improve reliability in these systems is massive MIMO (Multiple- Input Multiple-Output). One reason for this is a phenomenon called channel hardening, which means that as the number of antennas in the system increases, the variations of channel gain decrease in both t

Reliability in Ricean multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channels is crucial for safety related vehicle-tovehicle (V2V) applications. Due to the time variability of vehicular communication channel, it is very significant to study the temporal evolution of channel characterization criteria. We present evaluation results of the temporal evolution of the spectral efficiency from channel sounder me

The COST2100 channel model is a reference channel model which provides dynamic multiple-input multiple-output channel responses for radio system simulations. In this paper, channels created by the COST2100 model were compared to channel measurements in order to understand behaviours of the model. Model parameters of the COST2100 model were derived by dynamic double-directional channel measurements

This paper presents delay spread, coherence bandwidth, and angle-of-arrival statistics derived from an extensive MIMO channel measurement campaign carried out at a central frequency of 2.6GHz. The measurement scenarios include indoor-indoor, indoor-outdoor and indoor-outdoor-indoor. The results are useful for analytical and performance studies of post-3G wireless communication systems such as femt

The paper unpacks the relationship between local culture and agency to enhance our understanding of local variations of agency. The paper studies two former old industrial places in Sweden; one place characterized by an entrepreneurial culture (Borås), the other with a company town culture (Kiruna). Both cases experienced structural crisis around 1970s. A study period of more than 30 years is used

During recent years new threats have accentuated the role of scientific experts for creating risk awareness, understanding, and advice for action or preparedness for informed risk decisions. Scientific experts are expected to engage in risk communication with stakeholders at various levels, not least the general public.
