This thesis investigates the ignition and flame spread behaviour of engineered wood-based materials, focusing on Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF), Particleboard, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), and Plywood. Thermal properties, such as thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity, were analysed using Transient Plane Source (TPS) measurements. A new technique has been introduced for measuring therma

Objectives: To evaluate the ability of the Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa (ADNEX) model and the International Ovarian Tumour Analysis (IOTA) two-step strategy to predict malignancy in adnexal masses detected in an outpatient low-risk setting, and to estimate the risk of complications in masses with benign ultrasound morphology managed using clinical and ultrasound follow-up.

The lawsuit filed in Shanxi by the families of 18 women forced into sexual slavery by the imperial Japanese army is the first such challenge in a Chinese court.It marks a critical moment in the movement, but success will depend on domestic and international support.

In South Korea, feminism is more than just a controversial topic.

Nationalism has a potent influence on historical memory – and this can skew in unexpected directions.

In clinical practice, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a measurement of kidney functioning, is normally calculated using equations, such as the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equation. Despite being the most general equation, EKFC, just like previously proposed approaches, can still struggle to achieve satisfactory performance, limiting its clinical applicability. As a possible so

I mången biografi över Stalin finns resonemang om de långtgående konsekvenserna av att människor, i höga likväl som blygsamma befattningar, gjorde allt i sin makt för att blidka diktatorn Stalin. På samma gång bidrog stalinismen till karriärmöjligheter för hårt arbetande, obrottsligt lojala och ambitiösa personer i Sovjetunionen. Vad som har benämnts som ”Stalins nya medelklass” utmärktes i mångt

Background: Microscopic colitis (MC) is considered a chronic disease associated with autoimmune disease, smoking, and drugs. The aim was to examine the association between MC and celiac disease, adjusted for smoking, considering subtypes and clinical course of the disease in a retrospectively collected female cohort. Methods: Women (n = 240), ≤ 73 years, diagnosed as MC in medical records or patho

Since its public release on November 30, 2022, ChatGPT has shown promising potential in diverse healthcare applications despite ethical challenges, privacy issues, and possible biases. The aim of this study was to identify and assess the most influential publications in the field of ChatGPT utility in healthcare using bibliometric analysis. The study employed an advanced search on three databases,

Background: Traditionally managed semi-natural pastures are recognised for their high biodiversity. One drawback is that these pastures are often low in fodder production and hence rather unprofitable, which may lead to abandonment. Two ways to increase production and profitability and maintain grazing are to (i) offer the grazers supplementary feed, or (ii) co-enclose the semi-natural pasture wit
