Through different blogs, social medias and apps people are sharing pictures like never before. Sales in expensive DSLR cameras have increased, and companies in the photo industry are providing customers with lessons to help them in their quest to become better photographers. From being just an object symbol of tourism it has evolved into becoming a lifestyle for many photography enthusiasts. This
Objectives: To determine if tumor vascularity as assessed by three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler ultrasound can be used to discriminate between benign and malignant ovarian tumors, if adding 3D power Doppler ultrasound to gray-scale imaging improves differentiation between benignity and malignancy, and if 3D power Doppler ultrasound adds more to gray-scale ultrasound than does two-dimensional (2D
A simplified branch metric and add-compare-select (ACS) unit is presented for use in trellis-based decoding architectures. The simplification is based on a complementary property of best feedforward and some systematic feedback encoders. As a result, one adder is saved in every other ACS unit. Furthermore, only half the branch metrics have to be calculated. It is shown that this simplification bec
Popular Abstract in Swedish Komplementsystemet är en grupp proteiner som tillhör det medfödda (icke anpassningsbara) immunförsvaret hos människan. De verksamma komponenterna (ett 15-tal) förekommer i blodet, de flesta i en inaktiv form. Olika delar av komplementsystemet aktiveras av speciella molekylstrukturer, bl.a. strukturer i bakteriers cellväggar (alternativa vägen och MBL-vägen för komplemenThe autoimmune disease Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is associated with hereditary deficieny of early components from the classical pathway of complement activation, but not with deficiency of complement component C3 or of the alternative pathway components. The classical pathway is involved in elimination of pathological immune complexes from the circulation by transport via complement receptor ty
De beslut vi tar idag och i framtiden avgör om världen går mot en tvågraders- eller en fyragradersvärld, eller någonting där emellan. Vertikal samverkan mellan politiska nivåer och horisontell samverkan mellan sektorer är viktig för att möjliggöra kostnadseffektiva ambitiösa utsläppsminskningar och åtgärder för klimatanpassning i Skåne. Arbetet med Klimatsamverkan Skåne och Strukturbild för Skån
Over the years consumer packaging has become increasingly important as a value-adding element, since packages shape the consumer’s experience with the product during use, as well as accelerate the purchase decision. From a prod-uct/service system perspective, the strategic benefits of viewing packaging as a central value carrier are evident. To consumers, the product and its packaging are often pe
As welfare states are increasingly challenged and replaced by welfare mix models, new ideas about the functions of non-profit and voluntary organisations NPVOs) provoke political conflicts that should be reflected in research. This paper explores the significance of political and ideological dimensions to present Changes in the Swedish welfare state regarding NPVOs as welfare services providers. I
Virtual communities, including communities dedicated to consumption practices, were named one of the rising modern trends. With the technological development, nowadays, people do not need actual locations to meet for being friends because multiple blooming social networks allow people to stay connected 24/7 no matter where they are in this world. This technological development has many positive ef
COURSE: BUSN29: Master Degree Project AUTHORS: Orkun Eti, Lysbet Doutzen de Boer SUPERVISOR: Mr. J. Bertilsson THESIS PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to investigate how passionate consumers experience their brand relationship. With help of the photo elicitation technique we aim to evoke feelings, stories, and memories in order to provide a new perspective on the theory of brand love.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate genetic outcomes, analyze the family experience, and describe the process of implementing genetic sequencing for children with profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) at a tertial audiological center in southern Sweden. Design: This is a prospective pilot study including eleven children with profound bilateral SNHL who underwent cochlear impl
Aims In anticoagulation treatment with warfarin, the risk of thrombo-embolic events must be weighed against the risk of bleeding. Time in therapeutic range (TTR) is an important tool to assess the quality of anticoagulation treatment, and has been shown to correlate with less bleeding and thrombo-embolic complications. AuriculA, the Swedish national quality registry for atrial fibrillation and ant
Rapporten visar att det finns en gedigen vetenskaplig evidensbas för att utforma åtgärder inom den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken som bidrar till restaurering av jordbrukslandskap i linje med EU:s naturrestaureringsförordning. Evidensbasen kan stärkas genom en systematisk sammanställning av resultat från restaureringsprojekt, och författarna föreslår adaptiv restaurering för att hantera kontextbero
Background: Effectively identifying individuals exposed to drug underuse, overuse and potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) in older adults is essential for minimizing preventable drug-related harms. Methods: We analysed data from 54,296 individuals aged 60–74 years from the German National Cohort (NAKO). We assessed the frequency of PIM, untreated conditions (medication and vaccination under
YedY from Escherichia coli is a new member of the sulfite oxidase family of molybdenum cofactor (Moco)-containing oxidoreductases. We investigated the atomic structure of the molybdenum site in YedY by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, in comparison to human sulfite oxidase (hSO) and to a MoIV model complex. The K-edge energy was indicative of MoV in YedY, in agreement with X-and Q-band electron para
Understanding complex social-ecological systems, and anticipating how they may respond to rapid change, requires an approach that incorporates environmental, social, economic, and policy factors, usually in a context of fragmented data availability. We employed fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) to integrate these factors in the assessment of future wildfire risk in the Chiquitania region, Bolivia. In
Klimatförändringen kan enbart dämpas om koldioxidutsläppen reduceras till (netto) noll – till exempel genom att fossila bränslen fasas ut, cement ersätts med mer hållbara material och den globala avskogningen hejdas, tillsammans med minskade metan- och andra klimatutsläpp. Ökat utnyttjande av biomassa från jord- och skogsbruk som bioenergi och byggmaterial kan ge viktiga bidrag till detta. Men ris
