Kina har en fast valutakurs gentemot andra valutor. Från 1980-talet och framåt har man haft en ekonomisk politik med en stark export- och investeringsledd tillväxt. Kina har under senare år haft stora bytesbalansöverskott mot framför allt USA men också mot EU och Japan. Bytesbalansöverskottet har gjort att Kinas valutareserv har ökat kraftigt. USA har kritiserat Kina för att hålla valutan undervä
Syfte: Utvärdera kvaliteten och läsbarheten för svenska hemsidor med information för vuxna med hörselnedsättning. Metod: De två sökorden hörselnedsättning och hörapparater, skrevs in i den mest använda sökmotorn i Sverige under januari 2016, Google. Därefter valdes de 20 första relevanta hemsidorna av varje sökord, det vill säga sammanlagt 40 hemsidor. Dubbletterna togs bort och totalt utvärderadeAim: Evaluating the quality and readability of Swedish websites with information for adults with hearing loss. Method: Two keywords hearing loss and hearing aids, were entered in Google (the most used search engine in Sweden, January 2016).The first 20 relevant websites were elected of each keyword, making a total of 40 websites. Removing duplicates resulted in 29 websites that were assessed. Eval
In Sweden, the municipalities play a key role in climate change adaptation since they have the main responsibility for the physical planning. One way for the municipalities to adapt the society to a changing climate is to use so-called blue-green solutions in the physical planning. Blue-green solutions, such as ponds, swales and trees, use underlying ecosystem services to deliver a range of benefi
In this project, the properties of Cd(OH)2 in alkaline solution were studied. The processes of oxidation and reduction for Cd(OH)2 in alkaline solution are very complex and even though many studies have been done on the subject, it is not completely understood yet. It is from a Ni-Cd battery point of view, important to understand these processes to prevent loss of active material. The Cd-electrode
Modern vibrational spectroscopy techniques enable the rapid collection of thousands of spectra in a single hyperspectral image, allowing researchers to study spatially heterogeneous samples at micrometer resolution. A number of algorithms have been developed to correct for effects such as atmospheric absorption, light scattering by cellular structures and varying baseline levels. After preprocessi
Anslagstavlan is a neglected but important part of Sweden’s modern audiovisual heritage. The purpose of this media historical and digital humanities project is to study the aesthetic, narrative and rhetorical development of audiovisual government information on Swedish television. While much research has been devoted to the Swedish public service model, wherein regulated independence from the gove
Background: Blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) might facilitate identification of participants for clinical trials targeting amyloid beta (Abeta) accumulation, and aid in AD diagnostics. We examined the potential of plasma markers Abeta(1-42/1-40), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neurofilament light (NfL) to identify cerebral amyloidosis and/or disease severity. Methods
Background and aims: Children with extremely low-birth weight (ELBW) have a high risk for cognitive, motor, and attention impairments and learning disabilities. Longitudinal follow-up studies to a later age are needed in order to increase understanding of the changes in neurodevelopmental trajectories in targeting timely intervention. The aims of this study were to investigate cognitive and motor

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures can restore ACL fiber continuity. The relationship between ACL continuity on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (sign of ACL healing) and outcomes >5 years after an acute ACL rupture has not been investigated. Purpose: This study aimed to (1) describe clinical outcomes and radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) at 11 ye
Increasing CO₂ emission is considered as the main reason for global warming in the world. One of the reasons for producing CO₂ is using of fossil-based materials in the construction projects. This study intends to assess the using bio-based materials instead of fossil-based materials for the thermal insulation layer of the external walls and roofs. Another focus of this project is using green conc
Importance: Disulfiram has demonstrated broad antitumoral effect in several preclinical studies. One of the proposed indications is for the treatment of glioblastoma. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of disulfiram and copper as add-on to alkylating chemotherapy in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a multicenter, open-label, randomized p
Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can cleave the triple bond in N2, making nitrogen available for all lifeforms. Previous computational studies have given widely diverging results regarding the reaction mechanism of the enzyme. For example, some recent studies have suggested that one of the μ2-bridging sulfide ligands (S2B) may dissociate from one of the Fe ions when protonated in the doubly
PURPOSE: To develop a psychometrically robust electronic patient reported outcome measure (ePROM) for refractive surgery. SETTING: Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom. DESIGN: Questionnaire development study. METHODS: Items were derived in 6 domains (spectacle dependence, visual quality, eye comfort, functional freedom, emotional wellbeing, and satisfaction with treatment) from existin
Objective. To analyse the worldwide occurrence of sicca/Sjögren's (SS) syndrome associated with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in patients with cancer. Methods. The ImmunoCancer International Registry (ICIR) is a Big Data- Sharing multidisciplinary network composed by 40 specialists in Rheumatology, Internal Medicine, Immunology and Oncology from 18 countries focused on the clinical
Introduction: Our objective was to evaluate the association of early-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with maternal, delivery, and child outcomes, and compare with pregnancies without diabetes in southeastern Sweden, including after a surge of non-European immigration. Material and Methods: A retrospective population-based observational study of all
Importance: Prostate cancer, a leading cause of cancer death among men, urgently requires new prevention strategies, which may involve targeting men with an underlying genetic susceptibility. Objective: To explore differences in risk of early prostate cancer death among men with higher vs lower genetic risk to inform prevention efforts. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study used a c
Why should moral philosophers, moral psychologists, and machine ethicists care about computational complexity? Debates on whether artificial intelligence (AI) can or should be used to solve problems in ethical domains have mainly been driven by what AI can or cannot do in terms of human capacities. In this paper, we tackle the problem from the other end by exploring what kind of moral machines areWhy should moral philosophers, moral psychologists, and machine ethicists care about computational complexity?
