Objective: Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) is a well established treatment for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). FEVAR with custom made devices (CMDs) has limitations in both the emergency and elective settings due to time consuming manufacture. “Off the shelf” (OTS) fenestrated stent grafts are a potential solution. The primary goal was to evaluate the five year outcome

This paper explores design students’ proposals for a redesign of the interior of a room of silence at the SUS hospital in Malmö. Reflection and existential meaning-making are discussed in relation to the material culture of design, and more specifically in relation to four different themes found among the students’ proposals: nature as common symbolic framework and salutary force; lighting creatin

Historically, private initiative has always been of great significance for the arts. In most Europe-an countries the government took over from the private initiative after World War II. However, private initiative never completely disappeared, this is also true in the second half of the 20th century in which government subsidies were the dominant factor in the funding of the arts and cultural heri

In silico tools for splicing defect prediction have a key role to assess the impact of variants of uncertain significance. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of a set of commonly used splicing in silico tools comparing the predictions against RNA in vitro results. This was done for natural splice sites of clinically relevant genes in hereditary breast/ovarian cancer (HBOC) and Lynch syndrome.

The European Union is currently managing two projects heading under the names Europe for Citizens Programme and Culture Programme. The main aims of these projects interconnect in several interesting ways; they both have to do with questions of a cultural heritage of Europe related to the EU-citizenship. Investigating the relationship between cultural patterns and the EU-citizenship is the central

The objective with this master thesis is to analyze how the service life of wood in ground contact, with regard to decay, varies between different test fields. Different factors are evaluated whether it is possible to estimate the service life of a specimen in a specific test field. Also the influence of the climate on the service life in different test fields is investigated by calculated climate
