Background: Short-culm mutants have been widely used in breeding programs to increase lodging resistance. In barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), several hundreds of short-culm mutants have been isolated over the years. The objective of thepresent study was to identify the Brachytic1 (Brh1) semi-dwarfing gene and to test its effect on yield and malting quality.Results: Double-haploid lines generated throu
A method for synthesizing representative weather data for future climate out of regional climate models (RCMs) was introduced previously for the energy simulation of buildings (Nik, 2016). The method suggests creating one typical and two extreme data sets based on the distribution of the outdoor dry bulb temperature (Tdrybulb). This article extends the application of such weather data in the hygro
Objectives. Comparisons between remote magnetic (RMN) and manual catheter navigation for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have earlier been reported with controversial results. However, these reports were based on earlier generations of the RMN system. Design. To evaluate the outcomes of the most current RMN system for AF ablation in a larger patient population with longer follow-up time, 112 pat
We examine strategic self-ignorance—the use of ignorance as an excuse to over-indulge in pleasurable activities that may be harmful to one’s future self. Our model shows that guilt aversion provides a behavioral rationale for present-biased agents to avoid information about negative future impacts of such activities. We then confront our model with data from an experiment using prepared, restauran
Objective: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been extensively study regarding elective and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. However, much less is known about EVAR of symptomatic nonruptured AAA, especially concerning the long-term results. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of EVAR of symptomatic AAA compared with asymptomatic AAA at a tertiary center using a si
BACKGROUND: Despite advancements in surgical and anesthesia techniques, acute and persistent postoperative pain are still a common challenge. Postoperative pain has direct effects on individual patient care and outcome, as well as putting strain on limited health care resources. Several prediction methods for postoperative pain have been described. One such method is the assessment of pain during
This paper was produced to provide some background for the discussion on a pathway towards ending statelessness and the High Level International Conference on Migration and Statelessness, 23-24 June 2014, Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, hosted by IOM, UNHCR and the Government of Turkmenistan.
Background: This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of proton beam therapy (PBT) compared to conventional radiotherapy (CRT) for treating patients with brain tumors in Sweden. Methods: Data from a longitudinal non-randomized study performed between 2015 and 2020 was used, and included adult patients with brain tumors, followed during treatment and through a one-year follow-up. Clinical and demo
Objectives: There are several breast cancer (BC) risk factors—many related to body composition, hormonal status, and fertility patterns. However, it is not known if risk factors in healthy women are associated with specific mammographic features at the time of BC diagnosis. Our aim was to assess the potential association between pre-diagnostic body composition and mammographic features in the diag
In recent years, an increasing number of ecosystems are threatened by seasonal flooding, changing non-flooded shoreland (NF) into seasonally flooded wetland (SF), but the consequences of this hydrological change for soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics remain unknown. In this study, we investigated how the SOC content was determined by flooding duration and soil physicochemical variables in adjacent
Background: Older adults have complex medical needs that causes increased use of resources at the emergency department (ED). The prevalence of non-specific complaint (NSC) as a chief-complaint in the ED is common among older adults and is not prioritized even though possibly having worse clinical outcome. The objective was to study hospital admission and mortality for older adults visiting the ED
Purpose: There are limited data to show how sex impacts the early clinical course of patients with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). This study aimed to explore potential sex related disparities in the preoperative, surgical, and early postoperative course of HSCR patients. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data of HSCR patients who underwent pull-through surgery at pediatric surgery centers i
The main purpose of this study is to assess the impact of environmental conditions on paper-based flexible laminates tendency to curl. Any deviation in flatness may indeed affect materials processability. Two different paper-based flexible laminates are considered: a widely processed heat-sealable yogurt lid (paper / metallized polyethylene terephthalate / heat-sealing lacquer) and a prototype lam
Bakgrund: Inom läraryrket utgör stillasittandet en stor del av arbetsdagen, en riskfaktor som kan påverka den fysiska och psykiska hälsan negativt. Självskattningsfrågor är ett kostnadseffektivt sätt att skatta stillasittande. För att kunna dra tillförlitliga slutsatser gällande en persons stillasittande från självskattningsfrågor krävs det att dessa är valida. Syfte: Syftet med undersökningen var
The landscape composition in Sweden has drastically changed during recent years. Intensified farming and forestry has led to reduced areas valuable for biodiversity and a decline of biodiversity across many organism groups. In Sweden almost 30% of all day-living butterflies are considered threatened. Habitat creation as a by-product of anthropogenic activities may provide new habitats for species
Den 1 juni 2014 trädde lagen om energikartläggning i stora företag (2014:266) i kraft från energimyndigheten. Lagen innebär att alla företag har en skyldighet att göra en energikartläggning för deras årliga energianvändning. Detta för att få ökad kunskap om vad energin används till i företaget. Med stora företag menas att man anställer minst 250 personer eller har en årsomsättning över 50 miljonerThe new law about energy mapping in large companies (2014:266) from energy agency was valid from 1 June 2014. The law requires that every large company has a responsibility to make an energy mapping for their yearly energy usage. This is to get an increased knowledge of what the energy is used for in the company. Definition of a large company is if the company employs least 250 persons and have ye
Detta är en komparativ studie där min egen översättning till svenska av ett textutdrag från den franska roman noir-klassikern Total Khéops (1995) av Jean-Claude Izzo jämförs med originaltexten. Arbetet har utförts med textanalytisk metod och inleds med en källtextanalys. Efter en redogörelse av de överväganden som gjorts inför översättningen följer en stilanalys av romanutdraget, varefter fyra cen
With the transition towards an electrified vehicle fleet, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have come into focus for different stakeholders due to their high costs, resource, and energy demands for production as well as connected environmental concerns and supply risks. Circular economy (CE) strategies to slow and close resource loops and circular business models (CBMs) are discussed as solutions to th
