Purpose: To describe the clinical phenotype of the complete type of X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB1) with different types of mutations in the NYX gene. Methods: The clinical and genetic data from 18 male patients with eight different mutations from two ophthalmological institutes were reviewed. The variability in refractive error, reduced visual acuity and full-field electror

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund En grundförutsättning för detta avhandlingsarbete var att smärta i rörelseapparaten kan studeras som ett samlat begrepp. Med två undantag, fibromyalgi och reumatoid artrit, avstod vi därför från att beskriva smärtan utifrån specifika diagnoser. Detta förhållningssätt har stöd i den mest vedertagna definitionen av smärta, som arbetats fram av IASP (InternationaThe aim was to study prevalence, assessment methods, and risk factors of chronic musculoskeletal pain, as well as effects on health status in a general population setting. A postal survey to a representative sample of 3928 subjects aged 20–74 years in 2 municipalities on the west coast of Sweden was followed by clinical examinations of selected subjects, and a three-year follow up survey to 2425

A multi-lane traffic flow model based on stochastic noise driven dynamics is introduced and analyzed. The model employs conservative anisotropic Arrhenius spin-exchange (surfacediffusion) dynamics. We generate an asymmetric simple exclusion process to model vehicleinteractions. Vehicles react and advance based on the energy profile of their surrounding trafficthrough a novel look-ahead asymmetric

An economic model describing manufacturing costs is implemented within the frame of a case study. The implemented economic model is developed to enable analyses of the cost items and parameters influencing the cost of a part or a batch and also to make simulations for the purpose of investigating the economic outcome of future development activities. The aim of the case study was to identify activ

Popular Abstract in Swedish Senare forskning har påvisat att beslutsfattare som återger attraktivitets skattningar (aspekter) av egenskaper (attribut) av det valda och det icke valda alternativet i ett beslut som de tidigare fattat, ökar attraktivitets differensen mellan alternativen. Denna efterbesluts attraktivitets differentiering (konsolidering) verkar till fördel för det valda alternativet. KRecent research has shown that when decision makers in retrospect are asked to reproduce attractiveness evaluations (of aspects) of important characteristics (attributes) of a chosen and a non-chosen choice alternative, they exaggerate the attractiveness difference between the alternatives. This post-decision attractiveness differentiation (consolidation) works in favor of the chosen alternative.

The Euro50 is a proposed optical telescope with an equivalent aperture of 50 m. It will have a segmented primary mirror and full adaptive optics. To study the interaction of the telescope structure, the control system and the optics, an integrated simulation model has been formulated. The mechanical model is a modal version of an Ansys finite element model. The optics model is based on ray tracing

Abstract in UndeterminedThe use of a polar diagram method for describing and evaluating the machinability ofInconel 718 was explored. Five key parameters of the work material, representing themechanical and physical properties, which have the strongest influence on its machinability,were employed in the diagrams. These five parameters were integrated into asingle polar diagram, used to describe th

Although Moral Foundations Theory claims that the foundations of morality are universal, there are still few studies addressing it through non-English measures. In the current research, 540 persons filled out a Swedish translation of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire, and 332 of them filled out political attitude measures. Confirmatory factor analyses suggested that the fit of the five-factor mo
