Abstract in Undetermined Directional properties of the radio channel are of high importance for the development of reliable wireless systems operating in the 60 GHz frequency band. Using transfer functions measured from 61 to 65 GHz in a conference room we have extracted estimates of the multi-path component parameters using the SAGE algorithm. In the paper we compare results for line-of-sight (LO

Background: Treatment decisions can be difficult in men with low-risk prostate cancer (PCa). Objective: To evaluate the ability of a panel of four kallikrein markers in blood-total prostate-specific antigen (PSA), free PSA, intact PSA, and kallikrein-related peptidase 2-to distinguish between pathologically insignificant and aggressive disease on pathologic examination of radical prostatectomy (RP

Popular Abstract in English Every year globally, an estimated 1.7 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer, while over half a million are killed by this disease. The principal cause of death is metastasis, which is the spreading of the cancer cells from the breast to other vital organs like the brain, liver or lungs, resulting in organ failure and subsequently death. Even though the past decMetastasis is a complex process that remains a major challenge in the clinical management of cancer, because most cancer-related deaths are attributed to disseminated disease rather than the primary tumor. Despite the significant advances in the prediction of prognosis, and therapeutic management of primary breast cancers, coupled with the substantial improvement in our understanding of the molecu

Popular Abstract in English The food we consume is hardly, if ever, sterile. From fresh produce to processed products, foods harbor one or more types of microorganisms. The presence of some ‘beneficial’ microorganisms is desirable in food production, because they contribute to the characteristics of the final product, as, for example, in the production of wine, beer or cheese. In other cases, micrControl of the dissemination of pathogens in the food production chain is an on-going process with new challenges emerging as pathogenic bacteria evolve and express enhanced virulence characteristics. Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes are two notorious pathogens responsible for staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) and listeriosis: a foodborne intoxication and an infectious disease re

Accumulation of trace elements, including heavy metals, were evaluated in soil and fruits of chilli plants (Capsicum annuum L.) grown under both laboratory-controlled and semi-controlled greenhouse location conditions. Chilli plant biomass growth in different development stages and fruit productivity were evaluated and compared with each other for the impact of growth boundary conditions and water

BACKGROUND: During recent years, stepwise approaches to health checks have been advanced as an alternative to general health checks. In 2013, we set up the Early Detection and Prevention project (Tidlig Opsporing og Forebyggelse, TOF) to develop a stepwise approach aimed at patients at high or moderate risk of a chronic disease. A novel feature was the use of a personal digital mailbox for recruit

Billions of animals are adapted to a travelling life, making regular return migrations between more or less distant living stations on Earth by swimming, flying, running or walking (Figure 1). Extremely long migrations are completed annually by whales between calving areas in warmer waters and feeding areas at higher latitudes in either hemisphere. The longest oceanic migrations among sea turtles

AIMS: The very long-term outcome of patients who survive the first few years after receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has not been well described thus far. We aimed to provide long-term outcomes, especially with regard to the occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD), in CRT patients without (CRT-P) and with defibrillator (CRT-D).METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 1775 patients, with is

Context: Immune functions seem to have connections to variations in body fat mass. Studies of knockout mice indicate that endogenous interleukin (IL)-1 can suppress mature-onset obesity. Objective: To systematically investigate our hypotheses that single- nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and/or haplotypes variants in the IL-1 gene system are associated with fat mass. Subjects: The Gothenburg osteop

For quite some time, the governance of municipal corporations has been criticized on the grounds of its lack of transparency and its weak mechanisms of accountability. However, despite the fact that municipal ownership of corporations has become an increasingly controversial issue, the number of municipal corporations has grown, as has also the extent to which they are perceived as a source of unf

Architectural design is a process of creative problem solving, moreover architects manage not only information about the building but also about the user organisation. Therefore, information systems for architectural design must support the development of new ideas and concepts, and must be able to handle both building and user data. The paper presents two recently developed prototype applications

Så länge människan existerat har den haft behov av hjälp och vård i samband med olyckor och sjukdom, även om den medicinska förmågan genom årtusenden varit väldigt varierande. I dagens samhälle står akutmottagningen för kunskapen, resurserna och förmågan att hjälpa människor med många akuta medicinska behov. Välfungerande akutmottagningar har därför en central roll i det moderna samhället. Den endEmergency Departments (ED) have a central role in modern healthcare, providing emergent care regardless of complaint 24/7. However, EDs are often characterized by long waiting times for patients and a stressful working environment for staff. These are features or a resource and demand mismatch, internationally known as ED crowding. Although several reports and news articles have indicated that ED

The trace element selenium is of essential importance for the synthesis of a set of redox active proteins. We investigated three complementary serum selenium status biomarkers in relation to overall survival and recurrence following diagnosis of primary invasive breast cancer in a large prospective cohort study. The Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network – Breast Initiative (SCAN-B) is a prospective po

Objective: To identify and quantify potential risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA) following traumatic knee injury. Design: Systematic review and meta-analyses that estimated the odds of OA for individual risk factors assessed in more than four studies using random-effects models. Remaining risk factors underwent semiquantitative synthesis. The modified GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment

There is a vivid interest in so-called epimilitary narratives of war that depart from heroic themes and zoom out from the armed forces. This article joins this direction by analyzing two variants of cultural narratives of the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina during the 1990s and the siege of Sarajevo: the videogame This War of Mine and Bosnian citizens’ personal stories told in qualitative interviews.

This paper presents an overview of animals depicted within the Swedish con-cession area of Gebel el-Silsila and Shatt el-Rigal, spanning the Prehistoric to the early Islamic period. It includes commentaries on stylistic, technical and chronological phases of the rock art, and present an overview of distribution patterns as well as a relative taxonomic morphology for the more frequent motifs. Main

Even the simplest cameras today house a plethora of impressive mechatronic systems. One of the key systems that determines the camera performance is the image stabilization, as involuntary hand movements during exposure can produce unsharp images. One way to compensate is by an internal image sensor stabilization system. This thesis describes the design and implementation of a 2 degrees of freedo

Inom barnhälsovården i Landskrona-Lund-Orup görs en språklig screeningundersökning i samband med 2,5-årskontrollen. Det finns intresse av att ännu tidigare hitta de barn som löper risk för allvarliga språk- och kommunikationssvårigheter. Normalvariationen i den tidiga utvecklingen är stor och det är svårt att före 2,5 års ålder identifiera barn som löper risk för språkstörning. En del av de barn s
