A basic theoretical model that describes the effects of flow in and out of the imaging plane in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) images, obtained with the standard pulse sequences single spin echo, multiple spin echo, and inversion recovery, is presented. Theoretically calculated signal values are compared with experimental results obtained from single-slice images of a flow phantom for variable f
A continuous integrated bioprocess available from the earliest stages of process development allows for an easier, more efficient and faster development and characterization of an integrated process as well as production of small-scale drug candidates. The process presented in this article is a proof-of-concept of a continuous end-to-end monoclonal antibody production platform at a very small scal
In 1822 the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed The Cruel Treatment of Cattle Act, which today is considered to be an important forerunner to modern animal protection and anti-cruelty legislation. However, the new Enlightenment attitudes to animals stemmed from an overly anthropocentric perception of the natural world and the place of the human animal in it. At the heart of the movement agains
Background: Time of diagnosis (TOD) of benign esophageal perforation is regarded as an important risk factor for clinical outcome, although convincing evidence is lacking. The aim of this study is to assess whether time between onset of perforation and diagnosis is associated with clinical outcome in patients with iatrogenic esophageal perforation (IEP) and Boerhaave’s syndrome (BS). Methods: We s
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to analyze the long-term incidence of hip complications after external beam radiation therapy compared with age-matched controls from the general population. We also investigated whether there were any dose−response associations. Methods and materials: A total of 349 patients with prostate cancer treated to curative dose with external beam radiation therap
This study investigates the impacts of future climate uncertainties in the new generation of future climate data sets according to AR5(5 th assessment report of IPCC) on simulating the energy performance of buildings by studying the building stock in Germany (Potsdam). This work is based on two data bases, namely 'Tabula web tool-European building' and 'EPISCOP'. Software IDA ICE was used to make
Sedan 70-talet har tre olika läroplaner använts för att styra den svenska gymnasieskolan. Olika politiska styrningar och läroplansteoretiska influenser har gjort att dessa sett väldigt olika ut. I vårt arbete har vi jämfört kursplanerna för matematikämnet utifrån ett teoretiskt ramverk baserat på Basil Bernsteins begrepp om klassifikation och inramning. Förutom att jämföra gymnasiets kursplaner i Since the seventies, three different curriculums have been used to regulate the Swedish upper secondary school. Different political interests and influences from curriculum theory have made these look very different. In our study we have compared the different curricula used in mathematics using a theoretical framework based on Basil Bernstein's concepts classification and framing. In addition
In a time of globalization and increased international cooperation, the future of the nation state and nationalism is not obvious. International organizations, like the European Union (EU), are becoming more important and cooperation within the EU is constantly reaching new levels. EU is in some ways acting like a nation state and is trying to create a fellow-ship among the Member States for a str
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur psykodynamiska psykoterapeuter upplevt den snabba omställningen från att ha fysiska samtal till digitala på grund av pandemin COVID-19, samt vilka erfarenheter de gjort. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem psykodynamiska terapeuter. Materialet analyserades med tematisk analys och åtta teman identifierades. Studien visar att omställningen uThe purpose of this study was to determine how psychodynamic psychotherapists experienced the rapid transition from having psysical sessions to digital due to the pandemic COVID-19, as well as what experience they have had. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five psychodynamic therapists. The material was analyzed with thematic analysis and eight themes were identified. The study shows
Det är vedertaget i svensk rätt att avtal om framtida överlåtelse av fast egen- dom, såsom optionsavtal, är ogiltiga. En option är en rätt, men inte skyldighet, att i framtiden köpa eller sälja viss egendom. Även om det inte framgår explicit i lagtext eller förarbeten föreligger alltså i praktiken ett förbud mot option till fast egendom. Uppsatsens syfte är att granska huruvida det föreligger skälAgreements concerning future real estate transactions, such as option agree- ments, are invalid in the Swedish legal system. An option constitutes a right, but not an obligation, to buy or sell certain property in the future. There is a prohibition against option agreements to real estate, although it does not appear explicitly in the text of a law or the legislative history. The purpose of this t
This study assesses the impacts of the floods in early 2011 in the Northern Cape Province in South Africa and focuses especially on the small town Keimoes located on the major Orange River. During this period 33 municipalities in 7 out of the country’s 8 provinces were declared as disaster areas due to widespread flooding. In Keimoes and the Northern Cape Province the flood impacts were widespread
In the last decades of museum policies and practices, the work concerning museum collections has increasingly also become a matter of accessibility for museum visitors. One manifestation of this is to make collections available digitally, but at the same time, many museums also make their collections available physically in the form of visible storage. The latter poses increased risks of damage to
This master thesis started off as a project to build a product platform for the product category of built-in ovens with the Swedish white goods brand Cylinda. But as a part of Cylinda’s work in adapting a new brand value platform this thesis also became a part of the process of adding the brand value in to the products without moving away too much from the present product range of built-in ovens b
Rapid urban growth is making cities hotter, a trend further exacerbated by climate change. Urban green spaces (UGS) are commonly used as nature-based solutions to reduce heat, but there are gaps in understanding how cooling effects vary across climate zones. Using satellite data from 2021 to 2024, we examined urban heat and UGS patterns during the hot season across four Ethiopian cities with diffe
Background: L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia is attributed to opposite activity changes mediated by D1 and D2 dopamine receptors in the two striatal output pathways. Whereas the causal role of direct-pathway D1 receptors is well established, the specific involvement of indirect-pathway D2 receptors in dopaminergic dyskinesias has remained elusive. Objectives: We used conditional knockout approaches in mi
Förevarande uppsats genomför en komparativ analys av den svenska och danska krigslagstiftningen. I Sverige utgörs regelverket av 15 kap. regerings- formen med syfte att bibehålla legalitet oavsett vilka påfrestningar landet ställs inför. Kapitlet behandlar till stor del besluts- och normgivningsfrågor och olika nödförfaranden för när något statsorgan inte kan verka som vanligt. Vidare har Sverige
Spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, transform at some point in time into a rotationally supported system. Using an extant dataset consisting of 319,835 subgiants from LAMOST with precise ages from the literature, we determine, for the first time, the age when the Milky Way disk spins up, i.e., when the mean circular velocity changes from halo-like to disk-like. We find in concordance previous stu
Human reproductive success requires both producing children and making investments in the development of offspring. To a large extent these investments are made by the parents of the child, but researchers are now looking beyond the nuclear family to understand how extended kin, notably grandmothers, enhance reproductive success by making transfers to progeny of different kinds. The extent to whic
BACKGROUND: The efficacy of corticosteroids for treating acute vestibular neuritis, or acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUVP), remains controversial.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate whether corticosteroids improve vestibular function and reduce symptoms in both acute and chronic phases of AUVP.METHODS: This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial included patients with AUVP (ages
