There is much concern about the effects of possible future climate changes on buildings. The future climate scenarios are based on numerical simulations. Each scenario of a climate model is the result of some changes in the boundary or initial conditions, emission scenario, etc. Consequently each weather scenario has different sources of uncertainty which affects the building simulation results. H

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to extend the knowledge of how identity is connected to information sharing activities in social media during pre-school teacher training.Design/methodology/approachAn ethnographic study is performed where 249 students at a Swedish pre-school teacher-training programme are followed through participant observations from November 2013 to January 2014, and from Sep

This thesis investigates the dissension and dividing force present with regard to dealing with the communist experience in Sweden andDenmark. It studies the manifestations and causes of this dissension and compares the ways it has been dealt with in historical culture. 38in-depth interviews with history teachers and historical scholars, belonging to two generations, have been conducted. They have

This article aims to mirror a time of radical change in Swedish jazz education through perspectives formulated in the jazz journal Orkesterjournalen. During the 1980s, jazz musicians are still typically viewed as self-taught; you learn how to play jazz through listening and through playing together in contexts where fellow musicians function as informal “teachers”. The growing formal jazz educatio

Background Genome-wide association studies have so far identified 56 loci associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Many CAD loci show pleiotropy; that is, they are also associated with other diseases or traits. Objectives This study sought to systematically test if genetic variants identified for non-CAD diseases/traits also associate with CAD and to undertake a comprehensive analysi

Context: Studies of the clinical and immunological features of autoimmune Addison disease (AAD) are needed to understand the disease burden and increased mortality. Objective: To provide upgraded data on autoimmune comorbidities, replacement therapy, autoantibody profiles, and cardiovascular risk factors. Design, Setting, and Participants: A cross-sectional, population-based study that included 66

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels have been used for detection and surveillance of prostate cancer (PCa). However, factors other than PCa - such as genetics - can impact PSA. Here we present findings from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of PSA in 28,503 Kaiser Permanente whites and 17,428 men from replication cohorts. We detect 40 genome-wide significant (P

Background:Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a highly vascularised tumour, where anti-Angiogenic treatment with multi-Tyrosine-kinase-inhibitor, is used for first-line treatment of metastatic disease. Variations in vascular characteristics are likely to contribute to variations in intrinsic aggressiveness of the disease. Emerging studies are identifying perivascular status, including perivascular PDGF

Binary rhenium silicide, ReSi1.75, and its aluminium-doped variants have been synthesized. Their crystal structures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, solved and refined through the use of superspace group models. The binary undoped ReSi1.75 is a commensurate (supercell) structure of the previously well-known MoSi2-type structure. Al doping renders an incommensurate structure that was solved

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), which make up 8% of the human genome, have been proposed to participate in the control of gene regulatory networks. In this study, we find a region- and developmental stage-specific expression pattern of ERVs in the developing human brain, which is linked to a transcriptional network based on ERVs. We demonstrate that almost 10,000, primarily primate-specific, ERVs

Formation and growth of CsBr clusters embedded in unsupported Ar clusters was studied using synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy. The development of the core-level electronic structure for cluster sizes between a few and a few hundred atoms contained information about the local coordination of the constituent particles. The experimental results indicate that a gradual structural phase
