Confocal microscopy offers a mean to extract quantitative data on spatially confined subcellular structures. Here, we provide an imaging dataset of confocal z-stacks on endothelial cells spatially confined on lines with different widths, visualizing the nucleus, F-actin, and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), as well as the lines. This dataset also includes confocal images of spatially confined endothelia

Most current models of recognition memory fail to separately model item and person heterogeneity which makes it difficult to assess ability at the latent construct level and prevents the administration of adaptive tests. Here we propose to employ a General Condorcet Model for Recognition (GCMR) in order to estimate ability, response bias and item difficulty in dichotomous recognition memory tasks.

Background: The burden of Parkinson’s disease (PD) worsens with disease progression. However, the lack of objective and uniform disease classification challenges our understanding of the incremental burden in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (APD) and suboptimal medication control. The 5–2-1 criteria was proposed by clinical consensus to identify patients with advancing PD. Our objective

Background: Virtual Reality (VR) training is emerging in the neurorehabilitation field. Technological advancement is often faster than clinical implementation. Previous reviews stressed the study design and methodological weaknesses of research in the field of VR for neurorehabilitation. Clinically relevant conclusions on implementation in particular patient groups are needed. The aim was to updat

Background: eHealth solutions have often been considered favourable for improved effectiveness and quality in healthcare services for wound management. Staff engagement related to organisational changes is a key factor for successful development and implementation of a new eHealth solution, like a digital decision support systems (DDSS). It is essential to understand the engagement process in term

En av de snabbast växande kreativa branscherna i Sverige är dataspelsbranschen. En konsekvens av den snabba tillväxten är att branschen upplever stora utmaningar med sin kompetensförsörjning. I branschen finns därför en risk att arbetsbelastningen blir hög och att rimliga arbetsvillkor frångås. I Nordamerika och Storbritannien där branschen etablerades tidigare än i Sverige har ett antal studier g

To assess whether anthropometric measures (body mass index [BMI], waist-hip ratio [WHR], and estimated fat mass [EFM]) are independently associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and to assess their added prognostic value compared with serum total-cholesterol. The study population comprised 109,509 individuals (53% men) from the MORGAM-Project, aged 19–97 years, without establish

Tactile perception can be investigated through ex vivo friction measurements using a so–called ForceBoard™, providing objective assessments and savings in time and money, compared to a subjective human panel. In this work we aim to compare excised skin versus VitroSkin® as model substrates for tactile friction measurements. A further aim is to detect possible differences between traditional surfac

Differing from much of the research on overtourism, which has concentrated on urban tourist destinations, this exploratory study investigates the attitudes of rural communities toward over-visitation. Face-to-face interviews with 63 respondents in three of the most visited Iranian villages reveal that tourism creates social, psychological and health problems for residents. Findings indicate that l

This study examines painted copies from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to gain a richer understanding of the phenomenon of copies and of copying as a common artistic practice. The study findings suggest that copies painted in Sweden in the seventeenth century were, in general, free copies. In that century, the Swedish economy was booming, and a semi-regulated art market had developed, and

This work investigated the ignition and combustion process of single micron-sized iron particles in the hot gas flow of burned methane-oxygen-nitrogen mixture. The particle emission intensity was recorded by a high-speed camera in different flame conditions. Particle temperature was derived through two-color pyrometry method employing an ICCD camera equipped with a stereoscope. Based on scanning e

Instantaneous structures of turbulent premixed ammonia/air flames on a piloted jet burner were investigated using simultaneous planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) and Rayleigh thermometry measurements. Two-dimensional spatial distributions of temperature were simultaneously measured with those of the NH radical and the NO pollutant, respectively. Experiments were conducted for stoichiometric

This paper presents the results from a longitudinal study aiming at developing and implementing a method integrating principles from Risk Management and Business Continuity Management in its naturalistic organisational setting. Despite the fact that a myriad of real-world constraints and challenges typically arise in the transition from method development to full implementation and use of the meth

Structural secrecy refers to a systematic undermining of attempts to know and interpret situations in organisations, which significantly challenges their abilities to perform resiliently. In this chapter, we briefly share some insights drawn from a collaboration with the municipality of Malmö, Sweden, for a period of more than three years that has provided knowledge about the needs and constraints

The recent advent of Optical Photothermal IR (O-PTIR), has enabled for the first time, submicron infrared microscopy in far-field reflection mode with the combination of Raman for simultaneous, correlative IR+Raman microscopy. These unique and exciting synergistic capabilities are now spawning interest in life science application. A broad range of life science applications, otherwise impossible wi

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have profoundly improved the clinical outcome for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but their overall survival is still subnormal and the treatment is associated with adverse events. In a large cohort-study, we assessed the morbidity in 1328 Swedish CML chronic phase patients diagnosed 2002–2017 and treated with TKIs, as compared to that in carefully m

Protein folding is the dynamic process by which a protein folds into its final native structure. This is different to the traditional problem of the prediction of the final protein structure, since it requires a modeling of how protein components interact over time to obtain the final folded structure. In this study we test whether a model of the folding process can be obtained exclusively through
