Wearer trials with human subjects were included in the Subzero project in order to validate the manikins' data against practice. Physiological tests of the project were aimed to study hu-man subjects at thermal comfort or being slightly warm in cold: 0, -10, -25 and wind-chill temperature –50 ºC. Wind-chill temperature –50 was achieved by combination of 2 tempera-tures and wind velocities: -40 ºC
Popular Abstract in Swedish För ett halvsekel sedan publicerade den amerikanske barnläkaren Wessel en numera klassisk beskrivning av det skrikande kolikbarnet och dess omgivning, bekymrade och pressade föräldrar. Orsakerna till spädbarnskolik är fortfarande till stor del okända, och åsikterna om förebyggande åtgärder och behandling varierar avsevärt. Prognosen brukar beskrivas som god, men mycket AIM: To study infantile colic in terms of occurrence, risk factors in pregnancy, distress patterns, caregiving practices, and outcome. STUDY DESIGNS: Paper I: Population study, 376 mothers and newborn infants, diaries or telephone interviews. Paper II: 116 colic and 119 control cases, telephone interviews, and diaries. Papers III-IV: Population study, 1099 mother-infant dyads, pregnancy inquiries

BackgroundPeople with intellectual disability have been found to have higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders than the general population. However, they do not seem to have a corresponding increase in psychiatric care utilization. The aim of the present study was to investigate psychiatric care utilization among older people with intellectual disability.MethodsWe used a cohort of people with in
Statement of Purpose: Many chronic pulmonary diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary hypertension (PH) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are complex and poorly understood. While great progress has been made to elucidate the cellular and molecular pathways underlying these diseases, treatment options remain limited. The dynamic alterations in mechanical pr
The healthfulness of a dietary pattern is not merely measured in its content of nutrients, but also of the diversity of the ingredients present. The methods of analyzing dietary diversity, such as Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) index and Dietary Species Richness (DSR), have been developed in the last decades, used to capture different forms of dietary diversity. Increased dietary dive
Introduction Breathlessness is debilitating and increases in prevalence with age, with people progressively reducing their everyday activities to ‘self-manage’ it. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of breathlessness on function in terms of activities that have been reduced or ceased (‘compromised’) in older men.Methods A cross-sectional postal survey of Swedish 73-year-old man in the VAScula
In upholstery applications, it is common to use polyurethane (PUR) foam when flexibility is desired. However, as PUR is a carbon-based material produced using toxic isocyanates, it is environmentally beneficial to replace PUR with bio-based alternatives. The challenge, however, lies in finding suitable bio-based replacement materials, capable of mimicking the foam-like functionality of PUR since m
Concerns over the earth’s ability to sustain itself over the long term as a consequence of human consumption of natural resources points towards sustainable development. Since a large proportion of human consumption is linked to buildings and construction, this means managing the construction process in more sustainable ways. Strategies that target greater material efficiency and which promote cir
Background In adults with serious respiratory illness, fatigue is prevalent and under-recognised, with few treatment options. The aim of this review was to assess the impact of graded exercise therapy (GET) on fatigue in adults with serious respiratory illness. Methods Electronic databases were searched to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) testing GET (involving incremental increases in
Rationale: Regular, low-dose, sustained-release morphine is frequently prescribed for persistent breathlessness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, effects on daytime sleepiness, perceived sleep quality, and daytime function have not been rigorously investigated. Objectives: We sought to determine the effects of regular, low-dose, sustained-release morphine on sleep parameter
The multi-objective optimal power management of multi-microgrid systems is solved in this paper. Minimizing the total cost and emission of the system are considered as the objective functions. The multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied on a multi-microgrid system that consists of four microgrids each includes diesel generators, wind turbines, photovoltaic units, battery,
Healthcare organizations are under increasing pressure to account for their performance to outside constituencies. This chapter reviews the background, nature, and consequences of organized efforts to enhance transparency in healthcare. The driving forces differ between regions, but the trends are broad enough to result in similar developments across Europe. Market reforms and quality concerns cre
Background: Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes may have higher subsequent risk of chronic kidney disease, but the long-term independent risks and potential causality are unclear. Objective: This study aimed to determine long-term risks of chronic kidney disease associated with 5 major adverse pregnancy outcomes in a large population-based cohort, and to assess for familial confounding using co-

The effort to electrify society has in recent years resulted in major changes in the transportation sector. Charging time remains a challenge in several applications such as transportation and heavy machinery. A proposed solution that shortens the energy replenishment time and adds flexibility in loading the grid is to battery-swapping: exchanging the depleted battery for a fully charged one. In s
