Abstract – Background: Cytologic examination of lymph nodes and serous effusions is of value in the diagnosis of small cell lymphomas. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recently published a reporting system relating to the cytologic examination of lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus to standardise the approach to reporting such specimens. Summary: An overview of the WHO reporting system is given
Background: Systematic analyses of global health trends can provide an accurate narrative of progress and challenges. We analysed the impact of changing age-specific mortality (epidemiology) and age structure (demography) on crude death rates (CDRs) and causes of death with large or rising mortality to inform the third Lancet Commission on Investing in Health. Methods: Data from the World Populati
This contribution explores the attempts by international humanitarian agencies and the post-genocide Rwandan state respectively to deal with exceptionality created by the genocide and return to normality. It does so by comparing two kinds of camps that deal with exceptional life: the refugee camps for Hutu who fled after the genocide and the Rwandan government's ingando re-education camps. While t
Sammanfattning Det är enbart arbetstagare som omfattas av det arbetsrättsliga skyddet i lagstiftningen. Därmed utgör arbetstagarbegreppet en viktig del av arbetsrätten. Definitionen av begreppet får en allt större betydelse då sättet att organisera arbetet förändras kontinuerligt i och med att nya anställningsformer tillkommer. Uppsatsen undersöker hur EU och Sverige definierar och tillämpar arbAbstract The Labour law protection only covers those who are considered employees. Thus, the concept of employee is a significant part of the Labour law. The definition is becoming increasingly important as the way of organizing the work is continuously changing as new forms of employment are added. The essay examines how the EU and Sweden define and apply the concept of employee and what similar
The stability of the human tendency to eat in groups is remarkable. We find it to be valued and mostly desirable across geographical locations, cultures, and historical time periods. Yet, there is a great deal of variety in how the practice is expressed, how individuals experience it, and how the sharing of meals is understood culturally. This chapter focuses on three facets of eating together tha
The Baltic Sea has a generally low biodiversity, and several species are declining due to high anthropogenic pressure. One example is the Baltic Sea cod (Gadus morhua, L.), the cod has decreased since the 1980s in both biomass and abundance. One potential solution to increase the cod population is to improve settling ground and provide shelter for juveniles in artificial reefs. The Hanö Cod Reef p
While recent cognitive science research shows a renewed interest in understanding intelligence, there is still little consensus on what constitutes intelligent behaviour and how it should be assessed. Here we propose a refined approach to biological intelligence as accurate prediction, according to which intelligent behaviour should be understood as adaptive control driven by the minimisation of u
AI-kommissionen föreslår 75 steg för att Sverige ska stärkas genom AI. Många av förslagen är välriktade, inte minst på utbildnings- och forskningsområdet. Det krävs tunga AI-investeringar framöver, men de får inte bara rikta in sig på teknik skriver bland annat Virginia Dignum, Professor Responsible Artificial Intelligence Umeå Universitet, Jonas Ivarsson, professor i informatik vid Göteborgs univ
We investigate a class of random graph ensembles based on the Feynman graphs of multidimensional integrals, representing statistical-mechanical partition functions. We show that the resulting ensembles of random graphs strongly resemble those defined in random graphs with hidden color, generalizing the known relation of the Feynman graphs of simple one-dimensional integrals to random graphs with a
The nociceptive spinal reflex system performs highly precise sensorimotor transformations that require functionally specified synaptic strengths. The specification is gradually attained during early development and appears to be learning dependent. Here we determine the time course of this specification for heat-nociceptive tail withdrawal reflexes and analyze which types of primary afferents are
Due to their small size, nanoparticles have distinct properties compared with the bulk form of the same materials. These properties are rapidly revolutionizing many areas of medicine and technology. Despite the remarkable speed of development of nanoscience, relatively little is known about the interaction of nanoscale objects with living systems. In a biological fluid, proteins associate with nan
Within the framework of a simple model of photophysical processes in the Weigelt blobs in the vicinity of the luminous blue variable (LBV) star eta Carinae, we explain the presence of the fluorescent < O I > 8446-angstrom and forbidden [O I] 6300-angstrom lines as well as the absence of the allowed O I 7774-angstrom line in spectra recorded with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/STIS instrument (Gu
We describe the design and implementation of a robotic solution to automate the acquisition of gel images. The soft- and hardware aspects are outlined together with the various safety aspects that need to be addressed.
The microbiota is part of the gastrointestinal ecosystem. A more detailed understanding should provide insight into multiple human disease states. This study investigated inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis). Previous analyses have suggested a role of gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli. An integrated procedure is presented where gas chromatography-mass
