When responses to international crimes are managed in terms of post-conflict justice, this event may end 'the demarcation debate' before it has begun, thereby rendering it superfluous among legal scholars. This is to say that the transition from theory to reality arguably has the effect of cancelling any sharp distinction between international criminal law, international human rights law and inter
Objective: Accumulation of amyloid-β is among the earliest changes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Amyloid-β positron emission tomography (PET) and Aβ42 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) both assess amyloid-β pathology in-vivo, but 10–20% of cases show discordant (CSF+/PET− or CSF-/PET+) results. The neuropathological correspondence with amyloid-β CSF/PET discordance is unknown. Methods: We included 21 pa
Coastal waters have strong gradients in dissolved organic matter (DOM) quantity and characteristics, originating from terrestrial inputs and autochthonous production. Enclosed seas with high freshwater input therefore experience high DOM concentrations and gradients from freshwater sources to more saline waters. The brackish Baltic Sea experiences such salinity gradients from east to west and from
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are inherited disorders of the immune system with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as the only curative treatment in some of them. In case an HLA-matched donor is not available, HSCT from a haploidentical family donor may be considered. We compared the outcomes of HSCT from HLA-matched unrelated or related donors (MUDs or MRDs) and mismatc
Lunds universitet har anmodats att ge synpunkter på rubricerad remiss. Lunds universitet konstaterar att promemorian inte uppfyller de mest elementära krav på samhällsekonomisk analys som kan ställas på en offentlig utredning. Slutsatserna sakar tydligt stöd i ekonomisk teori och empiri.
Endwall film cooling upstream of the leading edge (LE) of a vane presents a relatively complex flow phenomenon due to the horseshoe vortices (HVs) generated at the LE region. Upstream of the LE region, the coolant flow has difficulties to eject out. This research work focuses on controlling the jet holes coolant coverage upstream of the LE region. Compound angle holes in staggered arrangement are
Introduction Head and neck cancer of unknown primary (HNCUP) is a rare condition whose prognostic factors that are significant for survival vary between studies. No randomized treatment study has been performed thus far, and the optimal treatment is not established. Objective The present study aimed to explore various prognostic factors and compare the two main treatments for HNCUP: neck dissectio
Background: No previous paediatric study has evaluated the frequency of diagnostic disagreement between clinical standard histopathological assessment (CSHA) and retrospective, independent, histopathological assessment (RIHA) of gastrointestinal Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GI-GVHD). Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, based on gastrointestinal biopsies collected from allogeneic HSCT-treated c
The EC Directive 2013/59/Euratom states in article 56 that exposures of target volumes in nuclear medicine treatments shall be individually planned and their delivery appropriately verified. The Directive also mentions that medical physics experts should always be appropriately involved in those treatments. Although it is obvious that, in nuclear medicine practice, every nuclear medicine physician
The pharmaceutical approach to skin disease has been hugely successful, but despite effective drugs being available and used, there are still vast numbers of people who continue to have some level of persisting skin disease and continue to experience quality of life (QoL) impairment. So the question that needs to be answered, while we await further advances in our drug-based armamentarium, is how
Background: Patients in the late stages of parkinsonism are highly dependent on others in their self-care and activities of daily living. However, few studies have assessed the physical, psychological and social consequences of caring for a person with late-stage parkinsonism. Patients and methods: Five hundred and six patients and their caregivers from the Care of Late Stage Parkinsonism (CLaSP)
Vitamin D (Vit-D), an essential nutrient, interacts with different drugs including chemotherapeutic agents like busulphan, an alkylating agent used for conditioning prior to stem cell transplantation. The correlation between Vit-D plasma levels and busulphan clearance was investigated in an uncontrolled prospective study in patients and mice. Plasma 25(OH)D levels were measured and busulphan pharm
Concrete is the most commonly used material worldwide, often associated with an irreversible production process and waste generation at the end-of-life. As such, the concrete industry holds large untapped potentials for moving towards more circular economy (CE) practices. Product service system (PSS) offerings incentivize CE through extending product use, improving product performance and developi
Digital anamorphosis is used to define a distorted image of health and care that may be viewed correctly using digital tools and strategies. MASK digital anamorphosis represents the process used by MASK to develop the digital transformation of health and care in rhinitis. It strengthens the ARIA change management strategy in the prevention and management of airway disease. The MASK strategy is bas
Progress in the power conversion efficiency of solar cells based on metal-halide perovskite semiconductors has been astonishing for the past years. During their development, transient effects have been observed that gave rise to an uncertainty associated with the determination of device performance from current density-voltage (J-V) measurements. This effect becomes visible in a dependence of the
