Optical cavities should be designed to be insensitive to vibration in all directions. The study of the behavior of the material used to develop an optical cavity is vital for the cavity to be insensitive in all orders. In this project, we are using Abaqus to generate a FE model of an optical cavity and its mountings via support points in order to investigate the effects of vibration in different d
In recent years, with corporate scandals and the global financial crisis there is continuous attention in the area of corporate governance which is the new concept in corporate world these days. It is seen as a moral duty and includes supporting the conformity to law and showing ethical guide. Corporate Governance is seen as a significant tool as firms’ financial performance when investors take an
En näringsidkares garantiutfästelse utgör en kraftig förstärkning av det konsumentköprättsliga skyddet. I Konsumentköplagens 21 § stadgas det att en näringsidkare skall svara för såväl ursprungliga som uppkomna fel hos varan under hela den angivna tiden. Lägg därtill till att Konsumentköplagen redan, i form av dess 20a §, innehåller en form av lagstadgad garanti där fel som visar sig inom sex månaA warranty in B2C-relations regarding constitutes a major increase of the consumers rights. It Is stated in the KKL 21 § that a businessman should be held liable for original- as well as later occurring faults in the product for the entirety of the prearranged course of time. In addition to this, the KKL in its 20a § does already contain a form of warranty regulated in law where defects who appear
Background: After National Early Warning Score was introduced in 2015, indications of inconsistencies in adherence to the National Early Warning Score was found. Aim: To describe registered nurses’ experience of National Early Warning Score. Methods: A qualitative content analysis using the method “ad hoc” to analyze 406 notes from one open question about registered nurses’ experience of National
This is an analysis of all the planets at exoplanets.org, with the goal of finding out how many of these that could possibly have moons supporting life. I have first calculated the ranges of the habitable zones (HZ:s) for the stars in the archive, using the Runaway Greenhouse model for the inner limit, and the Maximum Greenhouse model for the outer limit, as presented by Kopparapu et al. (2013A).
Background: Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are ubiquitous substances that are found in our everyday lives, including pesticides, plasticizers, pharmaceutical agents, personal care products, and also in food products and food packaging. Increasing epidemiological evidence suggest that EDCs may affect the development or progression of breast cancer and consequently lead to lifelong harmful he
Somatic variations are frequent and important drivers in cancers. Amino acid substitutions can yield neoantigens that are detected by the immune system. Neoantigens can lead to immune response and tumor rejection. Although neoantigen load and occurrence have been widely studied, a detailed pan-cancer analysis of the occurrence and characterization of neoepitopes is missing. We investigated the pro
BACKGROUND: Incidental durotomy (ID) is one of the most common intraoperative complications seen in spine surgery. Conflicting evidence has been presented regarding whether or not outcomes are affected by the presence of an ID. PURPOSE: To evaluate whether outcomes following degenerative spine surgery are affected by ID and the incidence of ID with different diagnoses and different surgical proced
Background: Heart diseases are among the leading causes of disease burden worldwide with often a large impact on the lives of the affected individuals. The association between heart disease and depression is well-known and elevated suicide risk has been demonstrated in several types of heart disease. The aim of this study was to investigate what health care contacts individuals with heart disease
PURPOSE: Irradiation inflicts acute injuries to the intestinal mucosa with rapid apoptosis induction and subsequent reduction in epithelial surface area. It may therefore be assumed that the intestinal barrier function is affected. The aim of this study was to compare the mucosal permeability in irradiated rectum and nonirradiated sigmoid colon from patients subjected to radiation therapy before s
The thickening effect of a hydrophobically modified polymer in an aqueous solution is dependent on intermolecular hydrophobic associations, and if the polymer concentration is significantly above the overlap concentration also on chain entanglements. In this investigation we have added different cyclodextrins (CD) in order to decouple hydrophobic polymer-polymer associations via inclusion complex
Background. D-galactosamine together with lipopolysaccharide can lead to a pronounced secretion by Kupffer cells of pro-inflammatory mediators, which have been shown to be early and important mediators of liver injury. Probiotics and dietary supplementation with fruit or vegetable extracts with high content of antioxidants, such as blueberry, could be beneficial in protecting against hepatotoxicit
During south Scandinavian Late Bronze Age, c. 900-500 BC, a new tool was invented. It consisted of a wooden shaft and a knife blade made out of flint. One singel of this tool still exists today. It was found in a Danish bog in late 19th century. But there are many of the knife blades of flint; in museum collections or in flint assemblages from archaeological excavations. Archaeologists call them l
Popular Abstract in Swedish Urinvägsinfektioner (UVI) är en av människans vanligaste bakteriella infektioner och drabbar både kvinnor och män. Kvinnor drabbas av UVI under hela sitt vuxna liv, medan UVI incidensen hos män ökar efter 40 – 50 års ålder pga. ökande problematik i urinvägarna med prostataförstoring, m.m. UVI orsakas av ett flertal olika bakteriearter, men tarmbakterien Escherichia coliUrinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common human infections, and febrile UTI with bacteremia the most severe form. The relation between bacteria and host decides disease severity. The dominating uropathogen is Escherichia coli (E. coli). P fimbriae are the virulence factor of E. coli most clearly associated to severe disease. P fimbriated E. coli predominated in bacteremic febrile UT
interactIVe introduces safety systems that autonomously brake and steer. The driver is continuously supported by interactIVe assistance systems. They warn the driver in potentially dangerous situations. The systems do not only react to driving situations, but are also able to actively intervene in order to protect occupants and vulnerable road users. The objective of interactIVe is to develop new
BACKGROUND: The TT virus (TTV) is a newly identified blood-borne virus. Its association with disease is still unknown, and screening of blood donors has not been implemented. Several genotypes of the TTV have been identified. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Three hundred seventy healthy blood donors were randomly selected and tested for TTV by the PCR method. Sequencing of a part of the genome was perfo
It is a common belief that ticks are more visible and easier to detect on light clothing in comparison with dark clothing. We studied which of the clothing, light or dark, had the least attractive effect on Ixodes ricinus, thus minimizing exposure and thereby in theory helping to prevent tick-borne diseases in humans. 10 participants, exposed by walking in tick endemic areas, wore alternately ligh
Excited states in the N=Z+1 nucleus Kr-73 have been investigated using the Ca-40(Ar-36,2pn) and Ca-40(Ca-40,alpha2pn) reactions at 145 and 160 MeV, respectively. gamma rays were detected using the Gammasphere array and events were recorded in coincidence with charged-particle and neutron detectors. The three previously observed bands were extended to high spin, and a new unfavored positive-parity
