Aims: To analyse which factors influence nursing home placement (NHP) and time until NHP in long-term cholinesterase inhibitor treated patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: The Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study (SATS) is an open, on-going, non-randomized, multicentre study in a routine clinical setting. Patients with the diagnosis of AD, living at home at the time of inclusion, receive

From the gender equality policy for Lund University 2001-2005 it is inferred that the overall objectives for Lund University is to achieve a balance between the number of women and men in undergraduate studies and postgraduate education within various occupational groups and in committees and boards. The aim of this programme is to increase the number of women in leading positions at the universit

To describe the relatives' experiences of information and support while heart or lung transplant candidates were waiting for a transplantation.

BACKGROUND: A most important characteristic feature for poor prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) is the presence of lymph node metastasis. Determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA levels in lymph nodes has proven powerful for quantification of disseminated tumour cells. Here, we investigate the utility of human tissue kallikrein-related peptidase 6 (KLK6) mRNA as a progression biomark

The Matern covariance function is a popular choice for modeling dependence in spatial environmental data. Standard Matern covariance models are, however, often computationally infeasible for large data sets. Recent results for Markov approximations of Gaussian Matern fields based on Hilbert space approximations are extended using wavelet basis functions. Using a simulation-based study, these Marko

Previous studies have shown that fossil energy systems can be a conflict objective, means or cause. This study explores how renewable energy (RE) systems can interact with conflicts and to what extent the risk of different conflicts may change. Renewable resources, in contrast to conventional fossil resources, are more difficult to control in time and space. RE systems depend on exploiting flows r

In this paper, we introduce a scale of differential operators which is shown to correspond canonically to a certain scale of solution kernels generalizing the classical Poisson kernel for the unit disc. The scale of kernels studied is very natural and appears in many places in mathematical analysis, such as in the theory of integral representations of biharmonic functions in the unit disc.

Abstract in UndeterminedThe present paper describes how the control of a radiator system connected to a district heating (DH) network via a heat exchanger can be optimized to provide the lowest possible DH return temperature. This can be achieved for each operating point by employing an optimal combination of radiator circuit supply temperature and circulation flow rate. The control algorithm grad
