Heat release in the end-gas prior to autoignition was investigated using different experimental methods including transducers for heat flux and pressure as well as rotational coherent anti-Stokes-Raman spectroscopy, which is a laser-based method for non-intrusive instantaneous thermometry of the gas. The time history was examined in the cases of mixtures of various stoichio-metries, where some wer
Enligt EU-kommissionen är den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken central för att nå FN:s globala mål för hållbar utveckling. Nästan 40 procent av EU:s budget går till jordbruksstöd, men i vilken utsträckning stöden bidrar till att uppnå FN-målen är oklart. Vi analyserar hur de 551 miljarder kronor som betalades ut i stöd år 2015 fördelades mellan FN:s 17 hållbarhetsmål. Vi finner att:* 60 procent av st
Nondisplaced or minimally displaced femoral neck fractures are commonly treated with internal fixation, because of its less invasive and less time-consuming nature, as well its retention of the biological properties of the hip. Internal fixation with screws or pins is the current clinical routine in Sweden. However, the authors of some recent studies in elderly patients have suggested that the use
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have endocrine disrupting properties and they cross the placental barrier, but studies on gestational exposure and child anthropometry are inconclusive. We aimed to elucidate the impact of early gestational PAH exposure on anthropometry from birth to 10 years of age in 1295 mother-child pairs from a nested sub-cohort of the MINIMat trial in Bangladesh. Sever
OBJECTIVES: To elucidate antibody responses after the second and third dose of COVID-19 vaccine in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) treated with biologic/targeted disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b/ts DMARDs).METHODS: Antibody levels to antigens representing spike full length protein and spike S1 were measured before vaccination, 2-12 weeks after the second dose, before a
Based on a study of nurses’ social media uses during the pandemic, this article aims to illuminate how nurses used social media to position themselves as nurses and safeguard the nursing profession. Thirty semi-structured interviews were conducted with nurses in the three Scandinavian countries. Data were thematically analysed, with theoretical inspiration from Berger and Luckmann (1966). The find
OBJECTIVES: To illuminate patterns observed in International Cancer Benchmarking Programme studies by extending understanding of the various influences on presentation and referral with cancer symptoms.DESIGN: Cross-country comparison of Denmark, England and Sweden with qualitative analysis of in-depth interview accounts of the prediagnostic process in lung or bowel cancer.PARTICIPANTS: 155 women
To reduce bird collisions with wind turbines, automatic detection systems have been developed to slow the blades down when a bird is approaching. We experimentally tested whether blade rotational speed (i.e., number of rotations per min) and frequency (i.e., number of times a blade passes a point per min) affected the decision time (i.e., time to take-off), path choice (i.e., the position in the a
Contact allergy (CA) is not uncommon in the population, including to various fragrance allergens. If not diagnosed correctly, allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) may ensue, because targeted allergen avoidance is not possible. The primary objective of the study is to estimate the prevalence of CA to seven fragrance materials in patients with suspected ACD across Europe. Based on the outcome, a conclu
Background: The role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) screening and eradication on reducing upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) complications after acute myocardial infarction (MI) is uncertain. The HELicobacter pylori screening to prevent gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with acute MI (HELP-MI SWEDEHEART) trial aims to determine whether systematic H. pylori screening compared to usual c
The raw material tier in companies’ supply chains can be a hotspot for sustainability issues like deforestation and resulting legal, reputational, financial and operational risks – yet companies’ supply chain management efforts as well as research on sustainable supply chain management still focus on direct suppliers due to poor upstream transparency. With technical progress, remote sensing and sa
OBJECTIVE: To explore trajectories of 12-week adherence to a digital education and exercise therapy for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA), associations with baseline characteristics, and trajectories of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) up to 1-year follow-up.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort (registry) study.METHODS: Weekly data on adherence (i.e. the percentage of completed activities (exerc
Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed lung cancer treatment, yet their effectiveness seem restricted to certain patient subsets. Current clinical stratification on the basis of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression offers limited predictive value. Given the mechanism of action, directly detecting spatial programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1)–PD-L1 interactions m
