Direkta saneringskostnader efter en kärnteknisk olycka för ett typiskt svenskt bostadsområde med enfamiljshus uppskattades genom att skicka ett underlag liknande en offertförfrågan till en entreprenör med verksamhet riktad mot bl.a. konventionell sanering av fastigheter. Det fiktiva uppdraget omfattade en rad saneringsmetoder som tidigare beskrivits i olika handböcker för sanering av radioaktiv be
With the introduction of information theory in the middle of the 20th century, the concept of noise came to be contrasted with signal. The exhibition Noise to Signal mainly consists of two projects that highlight the relative nature of these terms.The three textile works, all with the title Untitled (Noise), appear abstract but also represent a grainy filter that is usually applied to digital imag
Predicting live birth after the first IVF/ICSI treatment is challenging, as many factors may interact to affect IVF/ICSI outcomes. Adenomyosis is one factor that impacts live birth rates. Machine learning algorithms have been shown valuable for detecting complex dependencies and predicting outcomes in different clinical settings. We aimed to develop a prediction model for live birth after IVF/ICSI
BackgroundEarly identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains challenging. We aimed to identify key predictors of new-onset AKI within 48 h after ICU admission and renal replacement therapy (RRT) need within 7 days, using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) with eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). We also assessed whether XGBoost improved predictive peBACKGROUND: Early identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains challenging.

Background: Understanding the health consequences associated with exposure to risk factors is necessary to inform public health policy and practice. To systematically quantify the contributions of risk factor exposures to specific health outcomes, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 aims to provide comprehensive estimates of exposure levels, relative health r
Bakgrund: Arbete som innefattar mycket datormusanvändning innebär en stor risk för utvecklandet av armbågsproblematik. Ett vanligt förekommande besvär hos kontorsarbetare är lateral epikondylit, vilket oftast beror på repetitivt arbete, oergonomisk arbetsställning och/eller för hög arbetsbelastning. Detta är faktorer som i sin tur ökar muskelaktiviteten. För att förebygga muskuloskeletala besvär h
Växelvis boende med en ungefärlig jämn uppdelning är vanligast förekommande i Skandinavien och har således mestadels studerats i denna kontext. Få studier har dock inriktat sig på yngre barn eller kvalitativt undersökt det växelvisa föräldra- och medföräldraskapet. Som en komponent i förståelsen av barnets tidiga anknytnings- och socioemotionella utvecklingsmiljö, fokuserar vi här på hur föräldrarEqually shared joint physical custody (JPC), is most common in Scandinavia and has thus mostly been investigated within this context. There is, however, limited research concerning younger children and parents’ own perspectives on parenting and coparenting in JPC. As a component of the understanding of the child's early attachment and socioemotional developmental environment, we focus here on
A detector with high dynamic range designed for combined small-and wide-angle x-ray scattering experiments has been developed. It allows measurements on single events and reactive systems, such as particle formation in flames and evaporation of levitating drops. The detector consists of 26 channels covering a region from 0.5 degrees to 60 degrees and it provides continuous monitoring of the sample
Problem and Urgency: A global loss of cultivated biodiversity and traditional knowledge and practices can be observed. It is, however, essential to preserve this heritage that contributes to climate resilience, diversification of ecosystems and the dynamization of rural areas. Approach: Based on the work with Connecta Natura in the Sierra de Espadán (Spain), this thesis makes a proposal for a netw
The common agricultural policy (CAP) has been stated as one of the most important policies within the European Union (EU), and is the fundament for agricultural development in the member states. However, the CAP has been stated to effect biodiversity in a negative way. To handle the decreasing biodiversity in agricultural landscapes within the EU, the CAP has been developed to include measures to
Since the European Union membership application in 1987, twenty-six years have passed and the status of Turkey has only progressed from a “potential candidate” to an “official candidate”. At the same time, a successive expansion is traceable in Turkey’s efforts for multilateral cooperation with other parts of the world. While being seemingly random at the first sight, it is possible to observe dis
A well-planned waiting area is crucial for automatic milking systems. In an enclosed waiting area, cows of different rank compete for entering the milking station and they are exposed for a variety of social interactions. Such interactions could increase standing time and delay milking, which may result in stress, lameness, impaired welfare and reduced performance. The aim was to monitor the waiti
BACKGROUND: Non-fatal outcomes of disease and injury increasingly detract from the ability of the world's population to live in full health, a trend largely attributable to an epidemiological transition in many countries from causes affecting children, to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) more common in adults. For the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we
BACKGROUND: Improving survival and extending the longevity of life for all populations requires timely, robust evidence on local mortality levels and trends. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015. These results informed an in-depth investigati
The neuropeptide Y (NPY) family of peptides and receptors regulate food intake. Inherited variation in this pathway could influence susceptibility to obesity and its complications, including type 2 diabetes. We genotyped a set of 71 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that capture the most common variation in NPY, PPY, PYY, NPY1R, NPY2R, and NPY5R in 2,800 individuals of recent European ancestr
STUDY DESIGN: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial and a prospective cohort. BACKGROUND: The number of arthroscopic surgical procedures for patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has significantly increased worldwide, but high-quality evidence of the effect of such interventions is lacking. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective will be to determine the efficacy of hip a
Background: Throughout the world many people have both obesity and chronic pain, comorbidities that decrease Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). It is uncertain whether patients with comorbid obesity can maintain improved HRQoL after Interdisciplinary Multimodal Pain Rehabilitation (IMMPR). Methods: Data from 2016, 2017, and 2018 were obtained from a national pain database for Swedish speciali
The exclusive charmonium production process in pp annihilation with an associated π0 meson pp→J/ψπ0 is studied in the framework of QCD collinear factorization. The feasibility of measuring this reaction through the J/ψ→e+e- decay channel with the AntiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt (PANDA) experiment is investigated. Simulations on signal reconstruction efficiency as well as the background reject
