BACKGROUND: Conventional dosages of cytostatics in mg/m2 will cause marked variations in systemic exposure, resulting in over- and under-treatment, at least with respect to side effects.PATIENTS AND METHODS: We are conducting a randomized adjuvant study for breast cancer patients younger than 60 years of age with > or = 70% risk of recurrence within five years. The first 89 consecutive patients wh
This study investigated the development of second language online auditory processing with ab initio German learners of Dutch. We assessed the influence of different levels of background noise and different levels of semantic and syntactic target word predictability on word monitoring latencies. There was evidence of syntactic, but not semantic, transfer from the L1 to the L2 from the onset of L2
PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to develop a new family of test algorithms for computerized static threshold perimetry which significantly reduces test time without any reduction of data quality.METHODS: A comprehensive visual field model constructed from available knowledge of normal and glaucomatous visual fields is continuously updated during testing. The model produces threshold estimate
BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether low-level viremia (LLV), defined as repeatedly detectable viral load (VL) of <200 copies/mL, and/or transient viremic episodes (blips) during antiretroviral therapy (ART), predict future virologic failure. We investigated the association between LLV, blips, and virologic failure (VF) in a multi-center European cohort.METHODS: People with HIV-1 who started ART 2005
This chapter highlights two contradictory trends. Successive federal governments have attempted to create a favourable regulatory environment for financial institutions, including NIFs, through a series of general (reform of the financial market regulation) and specific (tax breaks for venture capital and investment fund capital gains) regulatory initiatives. At the same time, the mix of corporate
Inverter-based resources are playing an increasingly important role in power systems. However, the ability of inverter-based resources to deliver short-circuit currents is very limited, and often lies in the range of 1.2 to 2 p.u. for current power modules. This range is considerably lower when compared to that of synchronous generators, yielding short-circuit currents between 6 to 8 p.u. The diff
Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för de olika lagändringar som gjorts av våldtäktsbrottet sedan brottsbalken infördes år 1962. Det är en rättshistorisk undersökning av vilka ändringar som gjorts, vad som låg till grund för att dessa ändringar gjordes för att till sist uppmärksamma dagens samhällsdebatt kring införandet av en samtyckesreglering. Brottet våldtäkt har sedan brottsbalkens inföThe purpose of this essay is to analyze how the different legislative amendments have changed regarding to the crime of rape since the penal code was introduced in 1962. It is a study of the legal history and the changes that has been made, what the bases for these changes were in order to observe why the current debate of whether we should introduce a requirement of consent has aroused. Rape has,
The aim of this report is to increase the knowledge about the use of infrared cameras within fire services. A construction made up of several different types of walls and ceilings was built and used in a large scale fire test. The actual temperature was measured with thermocouples and compared to the temperature given by infrared cameras. The heat wave and the infrared images themselves were also
A pulsed millimeter wave radar operating at a frame rate of 144 Hz is utilized to record 2160 scattering signatures of 12 generic hand gestures. Gesture recognition is achieved by machine learning, utilizing transfer learning on a pretrained convolutional neural network. This yields excellent classification results with a validation accuracy of 99.5%, based on a 60% training versus 40% validation
De europeiska statsmakterna var under 1600-talet starkt influerade av idén om absolutism och under århundradet utvecklades flera enväldiga stater i Europa. En statskupp i Danmark och en stegvis förändring i Sverige gjorde att även de skandinaviska länderna blev etablerade envälden under senare hälften av 1600-talet. Syftet har varit att undersöka och jämföra enväldeskungarnas maktbefogenheter unDuring the 17th century, the regimes of European countries were heavily influenced by the idea of absolutism, leading to the emergence of several absolutist states during that time. In the second half of the 17th century, a coup staged by the king in Denmark and a gradual shift led by the king in Sweden ensured the establishment of similar absolutist states in Scandinavia. The purpose of this pap
An emerging trend among manufacturing companies in Sweden is “offshoring of research and development (R&D)”, which means knowledge sourcing from low-cost countries. There is a substantial and growing pool of high-skilled people in low-cost countries, resulting in companies increasingly going to where the talent is. However, management and implications of R&D offshoring are not sufficiently
Den här uppsatsen utgår ifrån frågeställningen: Vad är kännetecknande för världar/miljöer som förekommer inom modern fantasylitteratur? Syftet är att försöka upptäcka vilka element och strukturer som återfinns och hur de ser ut i förhållande till fantasyns genrekonventioner. För att ta reda på detta undersöks 16 fantasyböcker/-serier utgivna mellan 1990 och 2011. Själva undersökningsmomentet är em
PURPOSE: To assess whether higher plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is associated with improved outcomes in colon cancer and whether circulating inflammatory cytokines mediate such association.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Plasma samples were collected from 1,437 patients with stage III colon cancer enrolled in a phase III randomized clinical trial (CALGB/SWOG 80702) from 2010 to 2015, who were followed
Labour market outcomes for immigrants in general is a well researched field, but the mechanisms behind labour market mismatches among immigrants post-migration is still in need of empirical research. Using a unique and newly compiled dataset on Swedish immigrants, also containing pre-migration occupational and educational information data, this study aims makes use of maximum likelihood models to
