In daily clinical practice, patients are frequently asked about their swallowing as part of the patient-clinician interview. This study compares the diagnostic performance of a single open question 'What about swallowing?' (usual care) with the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) as reference test in screening for oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD). 303 outpatients at risk of OD were recruited at three univ
Background: This study investigates gaze behaviour in child dialogues. In earlier studies the authors have investigated the use of requests for clarification and responses in order to study the co-creation of understanding in a referential communication task. By adding eye tracking, this line of research is now expanded to include non-verbal contributions in conversation. Aims: To investigate
Background Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often complain of fatigue. Aim To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of fatigue among IBD out-patients in Scandinavia and to provide normative values for fatigue in IBD patients. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 425 IBD patients from six out-patient centres in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Fatigue was measured usin
The role of thyroid hormones in the control of erectile functioning has been only superficially investigated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between thyroid and erectile function in two different cohorts of subjects. The first one derives from the European Male Ageing Study (EMAS study), a multicentre survey performed on a sample of 3369 community-dwelling men aged
Thanks to the fierce competition and the globalization of markets as well as compa¬nies, supply chain management has emerged as one of the most urgent manage¬rial issues in business today. This thesis is devoted to one aspect of this vast problem area - the coordinated management/control of supply chain inventories. The objective is: To develop methods and models for coordinated inventory contro
Objectives: Thoracic spine radiography becomes more difficult with age. Tomosynthesis is a low-dose tomographic extension of radiography which may facilitate thoracic spine evaluation. This study assessed the added value of tomosynthesis in imaging of the thoracic spine in the elderly. Methods: Four observers compared the image quality of 50 consecutive thoracic spine radiography and tomosynthesis

Open call for BECC Lighthouse projects between Feb to June 13th 2025 What is a BECC Lighthouse grant? A BECC Lighthouse Project addresses the big questions of our time revolving around Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate. It typically brings together a focused consortium of BECC Principle Investigators (PIs) of varying background who collaborate closely, and meet regularly to

Object tracking algorithms and motion triggered alarms are often dis- turbed by shadows. It is challenging to separate between moving objects and shadows since they have similar movement patterns and image prop- erties. In this thesis, three different approaches to detect shadows are developed and evaluated. The identified shadows determine what parts of the image not to track and what alarms to i
A multi-antenna base station (BS) can spatially multiplex a few terminals over the same bandwidth, a technique known as multi-user, multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO). A new idea in cellular MU-MIMO is the use of a large excess of BS antennas to serve several single-antenna terminals simultaneously. This so-called "massive MIMO" promises attractive gains in spectral efficiency with
Trade Unions are finding it increasingly challenging to appeal to employees and all trade unions alike are encountering new challenges to attract and retain members. Additionally a more diversified and educated labor market is creating demands for trade unions to better meet individual needs. The purpose of this study was to explore and analyze the role of branding in Unionen, the largest white-co
This thesis is oriented around designing the world first inelastic hyperspectral LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) system for aquatic use. The system was designed around the task of monitoring zooplankton and environmental indicators in water. Scheimpflug lidar was previously developed for monitoring flying insects, aerosols and gases. Here we extend the concept to inelastic hyperspectral ranging ca
Psykiatriska tillstånd och psykiska besvär är vanligt förekommande hos ungdomar och vid bedömning av psykisk ohälsa har företrädesvis retrospektiv självskattning använts, som innehåller mätfel så som recall bias. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) är en relativt ny samling metoder som mäter människors upplevelser så som de inträffar i vardagen. EMA möjliggör reliabla och ekologiskt valida mätniMental health disorders are common in adolescence, and measures of mental health have typically relied on retrospective self-reports that are influenced by measurement errors, such as recall bias. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a relatively new range of methods that assesses experiences as they occur in daily life. EMA enables reliable and ecologically valid measurement of emotions, thou
The absorption, tissue distribution and excretion of enteral alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) was studied in four experiments. Six male Sprague Dawley rats were used to investigate the excretion of AKG in urine and faeces. Thirty rats, randomly assigned to five groups, were used to investigate the distribution of AKG in body tissues. They were gavaged with AKG enriched with 3 muCi/kg BW of (14)C uniforml
Today, there is considerable interest in integrated forest biorefineries which, besides pulp, produce high-value-added products, such as, polymers and carbon fibres. Lignin is the major non-cellulosic constituent of wood. It is a complex, amorphous highly crosslinked polyphenolic. Lignosulphonate in spent liquor in sulphite mills has long been isolated using ultra filtration. Generally, precipitat
A new way of preparing catalytically active wire meshes through a thermal-spray technique is described. A metal substrate (e.g. Kanthal AF) was plasma-sprayed with a composite ceramic/polymer-powder. The polymer content of the sprayed layer was burnt off whereupon a well-defined macro-porosity was created. By treating the so obtained material with an alumina-sol the specific surface area could be
Refillable polyester bottles, for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, are known to interact with chemicals. Aroma compounds from a product can be absorbed by the bottle material, remain after washing and remigrate when the bottle is reused, resulting in off-flavour of the new product. A certified reference material has recently been approved with which the chemical and sensory inertn
