BACKGROUND: Exertional breathlessness is a major symptom in cardiorespiratory disease and is often assessed using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) questionnaire. The mMRC might underestimate exertional breathlessness in people with impaired exercise capacity who have reduced their physical activity to avoid the symptom. We aimed to evaluate the ability of mMRC to detect abnormally high
Denna studie undersöker hur restid upplevs och används av kollektivtrafikresenärer. Genom en enkät med drygt tusen respondenter och samtal i en fokusgrupp framkommer flera intressanta insikter.Mobiltelefonen har blivit den mest använda utrustningen ombord, medan traditionella medier som böcker och tidningar har minskat i förekomst. Vanliga aktiviteter under resan inkluderar att scrolla på mobilen,This study examines how travel time is perceived and utilised by public transport passengers. Through a survey of just over a thousand respondents and discussions in a focus group, several interesting insights emerge.The mobile phone has become the most used device on board, while traditional media such as books and newspapers have decreased in prevalence. Common activities during the journey incl
MOTIVATION: Missing data present a pervasive challenge in data analysis, potentially biasing outcomes and undermining conclusions if not addressed properly. Missing data are commonly classified into Missing Completely at Random (MCAR), Missing at Random (MAR), and Missing Not at Random (MNAR). While MCAR poses a minimal risk of data distortion, both MAR and MNAR can seriously affect the results of
Introduction: The healthcare sector is globally experiencing increasing demands and workplace interventions on an organisational level is sought to create healthy workplaces. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of Nordic research on the work environment and health of healthcare professionals, with a focus on identifying organisational-level risk and health-promoting factors. Methods:
Light to the Nations is a work created by Yael Bartana which combines different media such as sculpture, VR, and video animation, as well as a learning center.It is a proposal about the attempts, dystopic and utopic, to save humanity in the face of a global catastrophe, whether man-made or caused by nature, which would extinguish any possibility of life on Earth. The work is influenced by post-ap
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Emerging evidence implicates the importance of perinatal and early-life exposures in colorectal cancer (CRC) development. However, it remains unclear whether being breastfed in infancy is associated with CRC risk in adult life, particularly early adulthood.METHODS: We prospectively investigated the association between history of being breastfed and risk of CRC and its precur
A substantial part in planning for linear infrastructure like road and railways are dependent on the conditions of the ground. As such, much data is collected to categorise the subsurface in order to adequately design the planned structure, estimate volumes in earth works and apply reinforcements. This data, pertaining to the subterranean structure and composition, is usually not plentiful in earl
Songbird migration involves frequent migratory flights interrupted by several days of stopover to refuel. For first-year migratory birds, this entails stopping in unfamiliar locations to exploit local resources and maximise fuelling rates. However, stopovers also pose mortality risks due to predator presence. We aimed to determine whether auditory cues from avian predators with differing hunting s
Delivery of antigenic peptides to antigen presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells (DCs) using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is an attractive approach to evoke antigen-specific T cell activation and improve drug efficacy. Peptide linkage to mAbs has previously been achieved through genetic fusion, chemical conjugation, nano-engineered platforms and high affinity peptides. In this study, we h
Fatal accidents in UK’s manufacturing sector are expected to remain the same or increase in coming years. This paper has tried to combat this issue by adapting and further developing a previously defined Safety Framework for the Paint Sector, to evaluate the safety performance of a metal manufacturing facility. To achieve this, the original Safety Framework was updated to align with the current Br
Everyday driving relies on cognitive functions such as visual search, change detection and predictive attention for maintaining a high-level mental model of the world. Such functions are especially constrained by limited cognitive resources under complex conditions. Understanding the manner in which environmental complexity influences cognitive driving performance is key to improving road safety a
Within Relevance Theory, it has been suggested that extended metaphors might be processed differently relative to single metaphoric uses. While single metaphors are hypothesized to be understood via the creation of an ad hoc concept, extended metaphors have been claimed to require a switch to a secondary processing mode, which gives greater prominence to the literal meaning. Initial experimental e
Background Functional Somatic Disorders (FSD) and Internalizing Psychiatric Disorders (IPD) are frequently comorbid and likely share familial/genetic risk factors. Methods We performed a Common Factor Multivariate Analysis of 2 FSDs, Fibromyalgia (FM) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and two IPDs, Major Depression (MD) and Anxiety Disorders (AD), in five kinds of Swedish female-female relative
In this essay I have aimed to examine how the theology of Paul Tillich relate to modern views of reality, both the way it was expressed in his contemporary time and the way I see it today. Reality I have defined as an entirety of the physic- and metaphysic reality. A so called panentism where God is reality and the world is a part of this reality. With Tillichs Systematic Theology as my principal
The aim of this paper is to study the extent to which non-Annex I countries are implementing or exploring select actions that support both climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives in the energy sector. The research is based on a survey of the national communications of 100 non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. Although national communications are intended to provide informatio
AIDS has a great impact on the life of the individual in Zambian society but also the collectiveness of family households and local community life is highly affected by the death of many individuals and family members. It is mainly adults in their working age 15-50 whom are sexually active, that gets infected with HIV and die. This leaves the rest of the family members to fulfil new roles in the h
To evaluate the possibility of obtaining detailed individual mobility data from archaeological teeth, the strontium isotope ratios on 28 human teeth from three separate Early-Mid Holocene, Swedish, foraging contexts (Norje Sunnansund, Skateholm and Västerbjers) were analysed through laser ablation. The teeth/individuals have previously been analysed using traditional bulk sampled thermal ionisatio
