ObjectiveTo examine timing of eating across ten European countries.DesignCross-sectional analysis of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) calibration study using standardized 24 h diet recalls collected during 1995-2000. Eleven predefined food consumption occasions were assessed during the recall interview. We present time of consumption of meals and snacks as we
METHODS: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data 2010-2014 from the Swedish national dementia registry (SveDem) and the Swedish national stroke registry (Riksstroke). Patients with dementia who suffered an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) (n = 1,356) were compared with matched non-dementia AIS patients (n = 6,755). Outcomes included length of stay in a stroke unit, total length of hospit
Background: Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is considered a main reason for death after major hepatectomy. The reported PHLF-related mortality differs largely and the data mainly originate from single centers. Aim: A retrospective, population-based register study was designed to evaluate the impact of PHLF on 90-day mortality after hepatectomy. Method: All patients who underwent liver resect
Objective: To formulate clinical practice guidelines for the endocrine treatment of hypothalamic–pituitary and growth disorders in survivors of childhood cancer. Participants: An Endocrine Society–appointed guideline writing committee of six medical experts and a methodologist. Conclusions: Due to remarkable improvements in childhood cancer treatment and supportive care during the past several dec
A real-time kernel which supports concurrent programming in Pascal is described. It implements semaphores for mutual exclusion and events for other synchronization. The kernel also offers the possibility to program I/O handlers. The kernel is written in Pascal, but relies on a small number of assembly written procedures for process creation, transfer between processes and handling of interrupts.

Prior studies suggest dental caries traits in children and adolescents are partially heritable, but there has been no large-scale consortium genome-wide association study (GWAS) to date. We therefore performed GWAS for caries in participants aged 2.5-18.0 years from nine contributing centres. Phenotype definitions were created for the presence or absence of treated or untreated caries, stratified
We investigate the evolution of relatedness linkages between Swedish industries during five sub-periods between 1991 and 2010. Distinguishing between the stable ties (present in all subperiods) and non-stable ties (emerging, disappearing, etc), we demonstrate that the relatedness linkages change considerably over time. Furthermore, we show that the changes in the relatedness matrix matter for the
Contemporary entrepreneurial research has experienced the shift from examining various characteristics of (nascent) entrepreneurs to investigating career pathways that lead to entrepreneurship. The proposed paper develops the analytical framework which complements this career perspective on entrepreneurship with the economic geography perspective on spatial mobility as a knowledge accumulation mec
How does a mobile game become a sport related community with its own cultural expressions and norms? This explorative article examines Turf, a mobile game where the players use the GPS function to navigate both a digital map and the physical landscape. By locating digital zones in the landscape, similar to the sport ori- enteering, the player gains points. Around the game various social activities
A graphics-based information system for process control applications is presented. All pieces of information, such as plant documentation, controller structures, control algorithms and run-time data, are positioned on virtual screens. The user selects the information to be presented on his monitor by “moving” in front of these screens using joysticks. Hierarchically structured information is handl
This article examines the interpretation of biosignatures, the signs of life that could bedetected in outer space. In astrobiology biosignatures could be of various kinds, fossils, molecules, traces, artefacts, structures, electromagnetic waves, etc. The purpose of this article is to bring some semiotic order in this seemingly chaotic variation of signs. It turns out that the semiotic function of
