För att svensk järnvägsinfrastruktur skall kunna vara konkurrenskraftig i jämförelse med mindre miljövänliga alternativ krävs kapacitetsutbyggnad och hastighetsökning av det svenska järnvägsnätet. Vid hastigheter över 200 km/h finns krav på att dynamiska analyser behöver utföras. För vissa brotyper, exempelvis samverkansbroar med ändskärmar, är det svårt att påvisa acceptabel vertikal accelerationFor Swedish railway infrastructure to be competitive compared to less environmentally friendly alternatives, capacity expansion and speed increase of the Swedish rail network are required. At speeds above 200 km/h, dynamic analyses are required by code. For some bridge types, such as composite bridges with end screens, there are difficulties in meeting the requirements for vertical acceleration in

The genes that enable using a new host plant Insects and their host plants constitute a large share of biodiversity. This suggests that their interactions promote adaptation, leading to diversification. The development of sequencing techniques has now enabled us to address what changes in the genome enable such adaptation. In this project, I investigated the genomic basis of fly Tephritis conura

In later time many companies have faced a major strategically change of focus and companies that have previous acted as traditional product manufacturers now describe themselves as providers of complete solutions. Tetra Pak Processing Systems, operating in the liquid food processing industry, has faced an increased level of competition the past years. The globalization of the industry means that c

Title: HealthBook Sub title: Integrated End-User Device for Rural Health Workers in Low Resource Settings Author: Johan Larsson Supervisor: Goirgos Nikoleris, Machine Design Secondary supervisor: Rustam Nabiev, Karolinska University, MTA R&D Examiner: Robert Bjärnemo, Machine Design Introduction: This thesis is part of a project called ICT4MPOWER with the purpose to solve the problem with med

Product gas obtained through biomass gasification can be upgraded to hydrogen-rich synthesis gas. The synthesis gas can be further converted to liquid or gaseous fuels. However, the raw product gas contains both gas- and particle-phase impurities that can negatively affect both catalysts and hot-gas filters used for upgrading and cleaning. The present study aimed to characterize, both physically a

China's rapid growth in electricity demand intensifies the twin challenges of water conservation and carbon reduction in a system where production and consumption are spatially mismatched. We develop a novel evaluation framework to quantify how electricity generation and interprovincial transmission redistribute “virtual” water and carbon. The method integrates national water/carbon footprints by

Introduction. The EU-Horizon 2020 project REWAISE - REsilient WAter Innovation for Smart water Economy – aims to reduce drinking water consumption by 30%. In case of Sweden, the average drinking water consumption is currently 140 litres/day and person [1] and thus should be reduced to approx. 100 litres per day and person. Approximately 45 litres/day and person are currently used for toilets and w

BACKGROUND: The isolation of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from the bloodstream can be used to detect and analyze somatic alterations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and multiple cfDNA-targeted sequencing panels are now commercially available for Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved biomarker indications to guide treatment. More recently, cfDNA fragmentation patterns have emerged as a tool to inf

Objective: This study assessed the applicability and outcomes of the closure of unused cuffs in branched endovascular aneurysm repair (b-EVAR) of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods: We reviewed b-EVAR procedures at a tertiary referral center to identify patients who underwent incomplete branching and needed closure of the unused branch cuffs. An electronic database and intraoperative and fo

OBJECTIVES: To simplify the previously published Nottingham 12-year risk prediction model for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and examine whether it can be used to predict the 40-year risk of knee OA in young men.METHODS: We included 40 118 men aged 18 undergoing military conscription in Sweden 1969-70. Diagnostic OA codes were obtained from the Swedish National Patient Register 1987-2010. The original N

BACKGROUND: The risk of venous thromboembolism is high after total hip arthroplasty and could persist after hospital discharge. Our aim was to compare the use of rivaroxaban for extended thromboprophylaxis with short-term thromboprophylaxis with enoxaparin.METHODS: 2509 patients scheduled to undergo elective total hip arthroplasty were randomly assigned, stratified according to centre, with a comp

Pulmonary vasodilator therapy is still often an off-label treatment for pulmonary hypertension in children. The aim of this nationwide register-based study was to assess patient characteristics and strategies for pulmonary vasodilator therapy in young Swedish children. Prescription information for all children below seven years of age at treatment initiation, between 2007 and 2017, was retrieved f

Importance: Although highly effective disease-modifying therapies for multiple sclerosis (MS) have been associated with an increased risk of infections vs injectable therapies interferon beta and glatiramer acetate (GA), the magnitude of potential risk increase is not well established in real-world populations. Even less is known about infection risk associated with rituximab, which is extensively

BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction may be caused by either pressure or volume overload. RV function is conventionally assessed with echocardiography using tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), RV fractional area change (RVFAC), tricuspid lateral annular systolic velocity (S') and RV index of myocardial performance (RIMP). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether

* Thermal limits of ectotherms have been studied extensively and are believed to be evolutionarily constrained, leaving ectotherms at risk under future climate change. Phenotypic plasticity may extend the thermal limits, but we lack detailed characterizations of thermal limit reaction norms as well as an understanding of the interspecific variation in these reaction norms. * Here, we investigated

Background: The protein C anticoagulant system plays a key role in maintaining the hemostatic balance. Although several studies have identified thrombomodulin gene (THBD) variants among venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients, the role of THBD in relation to VTE in humans remains to be clarified. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the thrombotic risk of rare and common THBD variants in a larg
