A primary functionality of context aware applications is the retrieval of different types of context data from various context sources and adapting their behavior accordingly. In order to facilitate context aware application development, a context aware middleware must provide an effective context data management and lookup strategy. The use of a traditional index for indexing dynamic context data
The sheet metal forming process is integral to the automotive industry, producing a variety of components essential for vehicle construction, including body panels, chassis parts, and structural supports. The process involves shaping thin metal sheets into desired forms using techniques such as bending, stretching, drawing, and stamping. In order to build high quality cars it is vital with an effi
The impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment on COVID-19 severity is unclear. In this population-based, nationwide study using multi-register data, we aimed to assess if OSA is a risk factor for COVID-19 severity and how adherence to PAP treatment and clinical characteristics affect the risk. Swedish residents with COVID-19 infection January 2020–May 202
Background: Physiologically guided revascularization improves clinical outcomes. The cutoff values for deferral with fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are the same across all coronary arteries, despite differences in coronary flow patterns. The objective was to compare deferral rates using either FFR or iFR in the right coronary artery (RCA), left anterior desce
We have used approximately 40 fs pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser to investigate the ultrafast energy transfer and relaxation dynamics in the light-harvesting pigment-proteins of photosynthetic purple bacteria. Our results reveal two new features, not earlier observed in light-harvesting pigments: (1) ultrafast relaxation characterized by a time constant of approximately 20 fs, which we interpret a

Objectives:The Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP) comprehensively addresses dyspnea, incorporating both perceptual and affective components, and has proven effective in assessing breathlessness among patients with chronic lung conditions. Despite its validation in High-Income Countries, its applicability in Low/Middle-Income countries remains uncertain. Additionally, the MDP has not been trans
Rationale: According to the Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), the FEV1/FVC ratio is used to confirm the presence of airflow obstruction in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), whereas FEV1 percent predicted normal value (FEV1%pred) is used for grading its severity. The STaging of Airflow obstruction by the FEV1/FVC Ratio (STAR), and its prediction of
Background: Family members play a crucial role in supporting women with breast cancer during their recovery. In the complex situation of being an informal caregiver, their own health and ability to support the patient needs to be acknowledged. The aim was to explore the experiences, needs and roles of family members throughout the rehabilitation process of women with breast cancer. Methods: A qual
Objectives: Dyspnea, or breathlessness, is a frequent and distressing symptom among patients with heart and lung diseases, particularly in advanced cancer stages, where it affects up to 90% of lung cancer cases. This symptom considerably diminishes quality of life, leading to physical deconditioning, increased levels of anxiety and depression, repeated hospitalizations, and elevated mortality rate
Background In adults with serious respiratory illness, breathlessness is prevalent and associated with reduced health-related quality of life. The aim of this review was to assess the impact of breathing techniques on breathlessness in adults with serious respiratory illness. Methods Electronic databases were searched to identify randomised controlled trials testing breathing techniques (technique
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of saphenous vein grafts (SVG) is associated with poor outcomes and is often regarded as inferior to native vessel PCI. We investigated clinical outcomes of SVG-PCI using contemporary drug-eluting stents (DES), in a complete, nationwide population. Methods: The complete Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) was used to id
In 1778, a large bronze bell was cast by royal bellfounder Michael Troschell in Copenhagen. Unlike most of his bells, which were destined for church towers, this one was sent to La Grange, the largest plantation on St. Croix in the Danish West Indies. The bell functioned as an instrument of discipline, structuring the workday for more than a thousand enslaved laborers. This paper explores the plan
Background: Chronic breathlessness adversely impacts people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and their caregivers (family and friends), who may, in turn, experience significant burden due to their caregiving role. Sustained-release morphine may reduce chronic breathlessness in some patients, which may have an impact on caregivers’ perceived burden. Aim: To explore the impact on caregiver
Background: Multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTMs) represent an integral component of modern cancer care and have increasingly been implemented to ensure accurate and evidence-based treatment recommendations. During MDTMs, multiple and complex medical and patient-related information should be considered by a multi-professional team whose members contribute various perspectives. Registered nurses
