OBJECTIVE: To determine microvascular diameter and perivascular interstitium thickness at the lung surface in the in situ, in vivo lung. METHODS: Microscopic images of the lung surface collected through a "pleural window" by a videocamera were digitized with a monochrome frame grabber (512 x 512 pixels, 8 bits per pixels) to be computer analyzed by image processing techniques. RESULTS: We found th

Although up to 30% of babies born with haemophilia do not have a family history of the disorder, the remaining 70% are born in families where haemophilia has been diagnosed. It has been estimated that for each male with haemophilia, there are five potential female carriers. Such women will benefit from knowledge of both their genetic (mutation present or not) and phenotype (level of plasma factor

The Chiffchaff Phylloscopus collybita is represented in Sweden by two different subspecies; the northern well-established abietinus and the southern recently established collybita which has expanded its range northward during the past two decades. At present, an area approximately 500 km wide separates the two subspecies. In order to document differences between the northern and southern populatio

An anthropomorphic phantom study was carried out in 2013-14 in two hospitals, one located in Russia (Mariinsky Hospital, Saint Petersburg) and the other in Sweden (Skåne University Hospital, Malmö). The aim of the study was to investigate the possibilities to reduce the patient dose from digital X-ray chest screening examinations. The existing chest imaging protocols were adjusted by changing the

The possible association between stress-related exhaustion and reduced activity in the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is increasingly in focus. The aim of the present study was to examine whether exhaustion measured in a non-patient population is associated with alterations in diurnal cortisol profile. The study population included 78 working individuals. The study group was dichotomised

The need for more functionality and higher performance has increased the number of transistors to billions in current processors. A high number of transistors on the same chip area increases the power density, which in turn heats up the devices and lowers the life time of batteries. The increasing demand for devices relying on battery and harvested energies in the Internet of Things (IoT) era has

The railway makes an extensive barrier in the landscape. To lower the impact of this barrier, and to allow people to easily pass it, level crossings are implemented. A level crossing is an intersection in the same plane between railway and road. Here traffic of all sorts meet with railway vehicles, which is why level crossings are one of the most distinct points of conflict in the entire railway s

Tidsperioden som undersöks är mellan år 2000 och 2018 och begränsas till olyckor där 30 personer eller fler miste livet. Metoden som ligger till grund för arbetet är en händelsestudie som tillsammans med statistiska test undersöker effekten av flygolyckor. Historiska data i form av faktiska aktiekuThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether aircraft accidents affect the stock prices of aircraft manufacturers. The time period examined is between 2000 and 2018 and is limited to accidents where 30 people or more lost their lives. The method that underlies the work is an event study that, together with statistical tests, investigates the effect of airplane crashes. Historical data in th

Abstract: This bachelor thesis explores the concept of just culture within aviation, with a specific focus on European airline captains’ knowledge, understanding, and perception of their reporting obligations. Grounded in the theoretical just culture framework of safety culture, developed by James Reason (1997), the study examines whether the principles of just culture - now nearly 30 years ol

Aim of study: Negotiations about problem definitions are a crucial part of psychotherapeutic and counselling work. In a conversation with a psychotherapist or a counsellor, the client's initial description of his or her trouble is transformed into an expert-informed problem formulation. This study aims to explicate how reasoning about troubles and life difficulties in a dialogue with a psychothera

INTRODUCTION: Ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE) is a common disorder with many associated risk factors. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an established risk factor, but less is known about metabolic risk factors in individuals without diabetes. Our study aimed to explore the association of body mass index (BMI) with UNE during long-term follow-up.METHOD: The population-based cohort study Malmö Diet and Cancer

I december 2015 skrev den svenska regering under FN:s Agenda 2030 bestående av 17 hållbarhetsmål med tillhörande 169 delmål. Mål 12, delmål 3 lyder: “Till 2030, halvera det globala matsvinnet per person i butik- och konsumentledet, och minska matsvinnet längs hela livsmedelskedjan, även förlusterna efter skörd.” Att fullt ätbar mat slängs belyser alla tre aspekter av begreppet hållbarhet på ett efIn 2015 the Swedish government signed the UN Agenda 2030 comprising of 17 Sustainable Development Goals and a total of 169 sub targets. Goal 12 target 3 reads as follows: “By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.” Wasting eatable food effectively highlights all three param

The traditional method for recycling brass chips is to send the scrap back to the material manufacturer for re-melting. Alternatively, brass chips can be reclaimed through hot forging operations at the production site. As an initial screening of the environmental impact of this novel reclamation method, the impacts of this new method was compared to conventional brass production (including recycli

We presented a study of charge-independent (CI) and charge-dependent (CD) two-particle differential number correlation functions R2 and transverse momentum correlation functions P2 in pp collisions at s=2.76 TeV with the PYTHIA and HERWIG models.Calculations were presented for unidentified hadrons in three pT ranges 0.2 < pT≤ 2.0 GeV/c, 2.0 < pT≤ 5.0 GeV/c, and 5.0 < pT≤ 30.0

Primordial black holes formed through the collapse of cosmological density fluctuations have been hypothesized as contributors to the dark matter content of the Universe. At the same time, their mergers could contribute to the recently observed population of gravitational-wave sources. We investigate the scenario in which primordial black holes form binaries at late times in the Universe. Specific
