We present a method to rapidly fabricate a large number of thermoplastic microfluidic systems where horizontal microchannels are separated by a porous membrane for modelling biological barriers. We optimize and combine solvent bonding, milling and laser cutting to fabricate in excess of 100 devices in two days. The optimized protocol relies on a commercial solvent blend, retention grooves for solv
Introduction: Fetal growth restriction is associated with adverse perinatal outcome and the clinical management of these pregnancies is a challenge. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) to predict adverse perinatal outcome in high-risk pregnancies in the third trimester. Another aim was to study whether the CPR has better predictive value than its
We present a microfluidic device that can sort nanosized extracellular vesicles (EVs) based on electrokinetics and Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD). The device is made from PDMS using standard soft-lithography, can separate particles down to 200 nm, and what is more, can achieve almost two orders of magnitude higher throughput than an otherwise single electrokinetic DLD device.
We present a label-free method capable of rapidly sorting particles based on their densities. Our device relies on deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) and achieves density fractionation by the use of T-shaped posts. By combining it with a lateral density gradient we achieve a density separation that is independent of size within a range given by the device geometry. Herein we present a proof-
To better understand how deformable and non-spherical particles behave in sorting devices based on deterministic lateral displacement we generate models of biological particles with tunable size, shape and mechanical properties using stop-flow lithography and we explore how these parameters play a role in our separation devices. Hollow and solid cylinders are compared with respect to their deforma
Informal caregiving is increasingly considered a health care delivery-resource within the North European welfare states. While ‘informal’ often refers to non-professional, ‘caregiving’ connotes both affective concern (caring about) and practical action (caring for). This duality of meanings, however, often refers to the one direction in which care is given. Care, we suggest, is relational and also
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate symptom prevalence, symptom relief, and palliative care indicators during the last week of life, comparing them for patients with motor neuron disease (MND), central nervous system tumors (CNS tumor), and other neurological diseases (OND). Material & Methods: Data were obtained from the Swedish Register for Palliative Care, which documents c
The 2019 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research has been awarded to Professor Boyan Jovanovic at New York University in the USA. Boyan Jovanovic has developed pioneering research that advances our understanding of the competitive dynamics between incumbent firms and new entrants, entrepreneurial learning and selection processes, and the importance of entrepreneurship for the economy.

This study aims to explore how family therapists in social services perceive and describe quality in their work with family support, and how their experience and knowledge contribute to the quality of their practical work. The study was conducted through qualitative, semi-structured interviews with family therapists working within social services. The results reveal that professionals define quali
The development of real-time ultrasound in the 1970's made indelible inpact on antenatal care. Assessing foetal growth and detecting deviations from normal in both growth and foetal anatomy became fesible. Expectant parents could also 'see' their foetus. Normal foetal growth parameters at term were consituted and selected parameters from the second trimester were evaluated in the detection of chro
Square Kilometer Array (SKA) is a project aimed to build the largest radio telescope in the world and it has just gotten into the construction phase. In this phase, the ability to develop and integrate software in an integration environment is crucial as it is the ability to visualize system-related information via a User Interface to rapidly verify the correctness of the system behavior and spot

Since the fusions are intraspecies, and in many cases involve highly aneuploid lines, it is not possible to perform de- tailed cytogenetic analyses. However, comparisons of total chromosome counts of hybrid clones with those of the parental cell lines indicate varying de- grees of chromosome loss in the hybrids. The median chromosome number in the hybrids from the GM 639 x T98G and GM 639 x GM 639

Moving towards an ecologically sound society requires strong support from higher educational institutions. During the past decade, the Journal of Cleaner Production has published more than 150 articles that have highlighted advances in academic efforts on sustainability in higher education, that were focused upon education, research, outreach and greening of campus operations in universities from
