This report describes the problems with fire safety in high rise buildings. A quantitative risk analysis has been carried out for a 24 stories high building. The level of risk is presented by F/N curves.

In this article we review the legal regulation of an obligation to self-isolate in Ukraine. For the period from 22 April 2020 till 22 June 2020 four groups of persons were obliged to self-isolate due to COVID-19. These groups are: persons diagnosed with or suspected to have COVID-19, persons that have been in contact with those diagnosed with COVID-19, those who consented to self-isolation when en

Aims: Patients with left axis deviation (LAD) and left bundle branch block (LBBB) show less benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) compared to other LBBB-patients. This study investigates the reasons for this. Methods: Sixty-eight patients eligible for CRT were included. Patients were divided into groups according to QRS-axis; normal axis (NA), left axis deviation (LAD) and right axi

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the intra- and inter-rater agreement for myometrial lesions using Morphologic Uterus Sonographic Assessment terminology. METHODS: Thirteen raters with high (n = 6) or medium experience (n = 7) assessed 30 3-dimensional ultrasound clips with (n = 20) and without (n = 10) benign myometrial lesions. Myometrial lesions were reported as poorly or well defined and then systematic

The Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda recognise the roleof cities in achieving sustainable development. However, these agendas wereagreed and signed by national governments and thus implementing them at thelocal level requires a process of adaptation or localisation. In this paper, we analyse five aspects that practitioners and researchers need to consider when localising them

BACKGROUND: ABO subtypes are characterized by the alteration of antigens present and their expression levels on red blood cells and many are linked to genetic changes in the ABO gene. Weakened expression of antigens should be identified to prevent transfusion reactions or ABO-incompatible transplantations. Genotyping can be applied to identify subtypes to complement serologic testing. Next-generat

Der p 2 is one of the most important allergens from the house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus Identification of human IgE Ab binding epitopes can be used for rational design of allergens with reduced IgE reactivity for therapy. Antigenic analysis of Der p 2 was performed by site-directed mutagenesis based on the x-ray crystal structure of the allergen in complex with a Fab from the murine

Mice homozygous for the human GRACILE syndrome mutation (Bcs1lc.A232G) display decreased respiratory chain complex III activity, liver dysfunction, hypoglycemia, rapid loss of white adipose tissue and early death. To assess the underlying mechanism of the lipodystrophy in homozygous mice (Bcs1lp.S78G), these and wild-type control mice were subjected to a short 4-hour fast. The homozygotes had low

Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) predominantly affects women, but previous studies suggest that men with SLE present a more severe disease phenotype. In this study, we investigated a large and well-characterized patient group with the aim of identifying sex differences in disease manifestations, with a special focus on renal involvement. Methods: We studied a Swedish multi-center SLE

Background: Recent studies in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) patients have drawn attention to atrial fibrillation (AF) as an arrhythmic manifestation of ARVC and as an indicator of atrial involvement in the disease progression. We aimed to assess the prevalence of AF in the Scandinavian cohort of ARVC patients and to evaluate its association with disease clinical manifestat

Living systems integrate biochemical reactions that determine the functional state of each cell. Reactions are primarily mediated by proteins. In proteomic studies, these have been treated as independent entities, disregarding their higher-level organization into complexes that affects their activity and/or function and is thus of great interest for biological research. Here, we describe the imple

The past two decades have brought worrying increases in severe Streptococcus pyogenes diseases globally. To investigate and compare the epidemiological patterns of these diseases within Europe, data on severe S. pyogenes infections were collected through an EU FP-5 funded programme (Strep-EURO). Prospective population-based surveillance of severe S. pyogenes infection diagnosed during 2003 and 200

Popular Abstract in Danish Genterapi er en attraktiv terapiform mod neurologiske lidelser som Parkinsons sygdom og epilepsi af flere grunde. Gener med en terapeutisk effekt kan introduceres lokalt ved præcise injektioner i det syge væv, hvor genproduktet kan frigives fra nerveceller i respons til aktivitet i det omgivende væv. Ved genterapi omgås den forhindring som blod-hjernebarrieren udgør, ligGene therapy is an attractive strategy for neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy, for several reasons. Introduction of genes with a therapeutic potential can be achieved locally, by accurate injections in the compromised tissue, and release of a transgene therapeutic substance can be regulated by the surrounding host neural circuitry. The gene therapy approach circumvent

The World Health Organization/United Nations Children's Fund Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative: Revised, Updated, and Expanded for Integrated Care (2009) identifies the need for expanding the guidelines originally developed for maternity units to include neonatal intensive care. For this purpose, an expert group from the Nordic countries and Quebec, Canada, prepared a draft proposal, which was dis

It is an on-going debate in the business of fire protection engineering in Sweden whether steel construction in hall buildings (building class Br2) can be performed without technical fire classification or not. The building code, EKS 9, gives some restrictions and methods to determine this and one of these methods is the local fire (Swedish standards institute (1), 2007) which is evaluated and ana

Rapporten är ett examinerande moment i kursen Brandteknisk riskvärdering. Syftet med rapporten är att utvärdera personsäkerheten vid brand för besökarna på Halmstadtravet och ge förslag på eventuella förbättringar. Syftet är även att studenterna ska tränas i sin ingenjörsmässiga förmåga. I byggnaden som utvärderas finns bland annat restaurang, kök, sittplatsläktare och caféverksamhet. Det redogörThe report is an examination element of the course Brandteknisk riskvärdering. The purpose of the report is to evaluate human safety of visitors in case of fire at the racetrack Halmstadtravet and suggest possible solutions if the human safety is deemed insufficient. The purpose is also to train the students in their engineering capability. The method is to choose several fire scenarios that chal

Covid-19 is the first type of coronavirus that was characterized as a pandemic, year 2020. The prevention methods to minimize the spread of the corona virus did vary somehow between the countries. Sweden followed a somewhat different strategy for dealing with Covid-19 than its neighbouring countries in the Scandinavian region; Denmark, Finland, and Norway. In this paper, we will compare the outcom

Denna uppsats har som huvudsakliga frågeställning att besvara frågan om hur svensk historia gestaltas och brukas i populära memes på internationella forum, och varför den gestaltas och brukas på dessa sätt. Uppsatsen kommer fram till att den mest förekommande aspekten av svensk historia är vikingatiden, följt av 1900-talets utrikespolitik, stormaktstiden och kontemporär svensk kulturhistoria. Denn

The aim of this study is to investigate whether people tend to escape by stairs or by emergency egress elevator when both are available in a high-rise building. It is also investigated whether the evacuation alarm has an impact on people’s exit choice. Another aim is to identify the risks associated with the different escape routes and which factors that influence the exit choice. It is also inves
