PURPOSE: To demonstrate a self-derived, dynamic field map (∆B0) estimation and correction method for improved CEST measurements without additional scans, especially in the presence of subject motion. METHODS: Dynamic ∆B0 maps were derived directly from the CEST images acquired with rosette readout trajectories by segmenting the rosette k-space data. The rosette ∆B0 mapping accuracy was validated a
Background: Developing new diagnostic imaging methods that provide detailed visualization of the histoanatomy of tissues and organs requires precise histomorphometric evaluation. With a particular focus on bowel, this study aimed to develop and validate a computer program for reliable and efficient assessment of bowel wall histomorphometry. Methods: A MATLAB-based computer program was developed in
This paper investigates and conceptualises the valuation work that consumers perform in circular economies. Drawing on valuation studies, we bring analytical attention to the processes by which value is constituted, negotiated, and operationalised in circular acquisition, use, and disposal practices. Our findings indicate that engaging in circular consumption necessitates the cultivation of specif
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to develop and internally validate ultrasound-based radiomics models to discriminate between all types of benign and malignant adnexal masses. The secondary aim was to compare the performance of the radiomics models with that of the Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa (ADNEX) model. Methods: This was a retrospective, observational, single-c
AbstractIntroductionWork environments are rapidly changing in Europe, with climate change, the transition to the circular economy, and expansion of work in green jobs among key factors. Research and interventions are urgently needed to promote worker health and well-being. The European Union (EU) INTERCAMBIO project is the first large-scale initiative to systematically assess mental and physical h
Background: Hypertension and smoking are well-known risk factors for aortic dissection (AD), but it is unclear whether other lifestyle factors influence the risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between diet quality, physical activity, and risk of AD. Methods: The study included 28,094 participants from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, recruited between 1991 and 1996 and f
Background: Local networks have been recognized for their potential to govern collaborative action toward a low-carbon future in urban areas, yet there is a need to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of such governance structures. In this paper we assess the Local Roadmap for a Climate Neutral Building & Construction Industry in Malmö 2030 (LFM30) network which was initiated in 2018
This article examines Karl Ove Knausgård’s novel Morgenstjernen (2020, The Morning Star) as a series of interconnected pre-apocalyptic narratives. Using the framework of econarratology alongside the concept of ‘hyperobjects’ and terminology that points to the interconnectedness of all systems, I explore how the narratives we are able to tell in a changing world affect both ourselves and our relati
The purpose of this chapter is to explore the relationship between peace processes, gender equality, and communication by introducing feminist and intersectional approaches as tools to assess and deconstruct underlying power structures. The author argues for a human rights-based approach to gender equality and a deconstruction of essentialist understandings of “women, " calling for a perspective o
Telemedicine as a means of remote patient–physician interaction is gaining popularity in nearly every field, and (respiratory) sleep medicine is no exception. Because obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a chronic condition, and requires a continuous treatment and monitoring of therapy success, telematic communications could be useful to establish diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This statement
I kyrkböcker, skattelängder och gamla dokument av olika slag nämns Dannäs by. I denna mikrohistoriska studie kartläggs var den försvunna byn låg och vilka gårdar som fanns i den. Dessutom förklaras det hur det gick till när byn försvann och hur denna process hänger samman med större samhälleliga förändringar som rör jordbrukets mekanisering och framväxten av ett jordlöst proletariat på landsbygden
BACKGROUND: Knockdown effect, especially in pyrethroid-based household and public insecticides, is often considered a practical indicator of insecticidal efficacy. However, whether faster knockdown implies lethality remains uncertain because the relationship between the two effects has not been systematically explored. This study examined whether knockdown speed is associated with mortality across
It is often argued that design serves as an effective change agent in strategy formation. However, the question of how this actually occurs remains largely unexplored. Through case studies of five design consulting firms in Denmark, this paper examines how design gets involved in the making of strategy. The findings show that there are at least two paths to strategy-level work: First, design works
Collaborating with public or private sector organizations in project-based courses equips design students with key skills to future-proof their careers, but this gives only one side of the story as the key feature of these partnerships is that they are mutualistic collaborations. However, the benefits to organizations of collaborating are not fully explored. This paper presents a case study of par
Public sector organizations have been increasingly turning to design in their pursuit to innovate and address pressing challenges that seem intractable through their existing ways of working. Design’s presence in the public sector is still a relatively recent phenomenon ridden with many challenges. Through a study of three municipalities in Sweden, we present tensions designers face as they work t
Municipalities around the world have become increasingly reliant upon digital technologies in their everyday operations. In pursuit of a faster, cheaper, and more efficient local government, service platforms and applications that mediate citizen-government interactions, smart city infrastructures, and automated decision-making systems have proliferated. More recently, digital technologies are als
The work focuses on Lagrange stability of the origin for the three-state Moore–Greitzer compressor model in closed loop with a nonlinear PI controller, tuned only to stabilize a lower-dimensional invariant surge dynamics subsystem. The linearization of the system is not stabilizable but the static nonlinearity satisfies a sector condition, and together with a structural property of the stall-dynam
Longstanding practices of participatory co-design have sought to engage communities in the development of shared resources, services, and technologies. However, approaches such as citizen-centered design and digital civics bring these design methods to bear on the development of digital technologies in support of civic and third sector organizations in particularly complex and rapidly changing soc
