The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology and the Society of Nuclear Medicine conclude that incorporation of attenuation corrected (AC) images in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) will improve diagnostic accuracy. The aim was to investigate the value of adding AC stress-only images for the decision whether a rest study is necessary or not.
The measurement of radioactive solutions containing organic or aggressive media may cause stability problems in liquid and plastic scintillation (PS) techniques. In the case of PS, this can be overcome by adding a crosslinker to the polymer structure. The objectives of this study are to synthesise a suitable crosslinked plastic scintillator (C-PS) for radioactivity determination in organic and agg
Disasters such as the storms that affected Sweden in 2005 and 2007 showed that citizens initially conducted a large part of the disaster response, such as clearing roads, giving psychosocial support to affected neighbours and repairing power lines in collaboration with power companies. As a result of these storms, an Emergent Citizen Group (ECG) was established in a village which continued to work
Background: Gaucher disease (GD) is the most common inherited lysosomal storage disorder in humans, caused by mutations in the gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA1). GD is clinically heterogeneous and although the type of GBA1 mutation plays a role in determining the type of GD, it does not explain the clinical variability seen among patients. Cumulative evidence from recent
The aim of this study is to review recent data on dietary fiber (DF) and the glycemic index (GI), with special focus on studies from the Nordic countries regarding cardiometabolic risk factors, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and total mortality. In this study, recent guidelines and scientific background papers or updates on older reports on DF and GI published between 2000 and 20
Background: Day centres are central for community participation among people with mental health problems. Understanding day centre attendees' occupational engagement is therefore important. Method:A total of 88 people from six day centres in four municipalities in southern Sweden completed a time-use diary, recording their occupational engagement during the most recent day at the day centre. The t
This study compared neck range of movement recording using three different methods goniometers (EGM), inclinometers (INC) and a three-dimensional video analysis system (IMG) in simultaneous and synchronized data collection. Twelve females performed neck flexion-extension, lateral flexion, rotation and circumduction. The differences between EGM, INC, and IMG were calculated sample by sample. For fl
The cross section for the diffractive deep-inelastic scattering process ep -> eXp is measured, with the leading final state proton detected in the H1 Forward Proton Spectrometer. The data sample covers the range x(P) < 0.1 in fractional proton longitudinal momentum loss, 0.1 < vertical bar t vertical bar < 0.7 GeV2 in squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex and 4 < Q(2) < 700 GeV2 in p
A low-power high linearity CMOS G(m)-C channel select filter for WLAN/WiMax receivers in 90-nm CMOS technology is presented. To reduce power consumption a biquad cell with simple architecture and few devices is used. A simple but efficient technique is also used to improve the linearity of the filter without increasing its power consumption. The cutoff frequency of the sixth order Butterworth low-
In an era of globalization, international legal frameworks and vigorous international politics, we cannot refrain from hearing about the extensive health crisis of the developing world. HIV/AIDS, Malaria and drug resistant tuberculosis are only a few of the widespread disease which appear almost surreal to the citizens of the industrial world. The debates and discussions regarding the importance o
Idag behandlas de flesta patienter som diagnostiserats med gliom, en otäck hjärntumör, med fotoner producerade i en linjäraccelerator på någon av landets strålbehandlingskliniker. Tumören växer inuti hjärnan på ett mycket aggressivt sätt, vilket gör den nästan omöjlig att bota. Det normala är att strålningen kombineras med cellgifter och kirurgi för att ge patienten så lång tid som är möjligt, tilIncreased accuracy in patient dosimetry in BNCT is needed. This need for more accurate individual patient dose estimations initiated this project at the Swedish BNCT facility at Studsvik. One possible way to achieve this is to use an HPGe detector. This project involves the complete construction and testing of such a system in a treatment representative environment.The system builds on an ORTEC GM
Tetra Pak Packaging Material AB (TPPM) is the division within the Tetra Pak concern that produces the packaging material that later on will be used for liquid products. There are 63 TPPM plants in the world, and the factory in Lund is one of the largest with its 325 employees. It is also the TPPM factory that manufactures the most varied set of packages. There are nine producing machines, divi
Protected areas serve the purposes of protecting nature and providing possibilities for outdoor recreation. In an area with natural assets, protected or not, different interests are interacting. The aim of this study was to investigate whether nature conservation could enhance environmental benefits as well as provide economic and social benefits to a region. Another aim was to investigate the de
Öresundskraft AB has a number of plants that produces mainly electricity and district heat to the city of Helsingborg and its surroundings. Västhamnsverket is the main plant of the company, with an installed capacity of 126 MW electricity and 186 MW heat. Västhamnsverket is a hybrid combined heat and power plant. In order to demonstrate an efficient control-monitoring model, several ANN models ha
The Single Molecule Spectroscopy Group at the department of Chemical Physics in the Chemical Centre of Lund University conducts research involving spectroscopy on single molecules of organic dyes. Fluorescence microscopy using a wide-field scheme has been used and such a scheme has many advantages such as full image capture at once when using a high sensitivity CCD or CMOS camera. Using different
Sociala hänsynstaganden, som exempelvis spelberoende, minderårigas spelande samt förebyggandet av brottslighet och bedrägeri, har traditionellt motiverat Medlemsstaternas nästintill ovillkorliga rätt att reglera spel på nationell nivå. När spel på Internet introducerades valde EU-domstolen att applicera samma argument och fortsätta bekräfta denna rätt. Internetspel har dock förändrat den traditionConcerns of public interest, such as the prevention of problem gambling, underage gambling and evading the risks of crime and fraud, have in the jurisprudence of the CJEU traditionally been used to justify a wide discretionary right for the Member States to regulate gambling. When online gambling was introduced, the CJEU decided to apply the same arguments and continue to affirm the strong rights
