The global environmental impact made by cars is substantial and will always be in focus when discussing climate change and our carbon footprint. Eco-driving has long been a given set of general rules for drivers to follow such as smooth acceleration. We wanted to explore the use of machine learning to identify and learn unknown driving patterns that may affect the fuel consumption. We also wanted
Problembeskrivning: Bearbetade grönsaker kan vara problematiskt då grönsakens förmåga att hålla vatten och näringsämnen förändras med tiden. Det naturliga skyddet mot angrepp från mikroorganismer skadas även det. När man skär eller skadar grönsaker på något sätt så öppnas fler ytor upp för mikroorganismer att ta sig in på och hitta näring för att föröka sig. Men det är inte den enda nackdelen med
As a result of growing geopolitical tensions and development of modern technologies, the European Union (EU) has recognized concerns regarding certain foreign direct investments (FDI). Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of the European Parliament and of the Council adopted on 19 March 2019 (Regulation (EU) 2019/452), establishes a framework for screening of FDIs into the Union. This regulation was introduce
This paper estimates the impact of university education on medical care use and its income related inequality. We do this by exploiting an arbitrary university eligibility rule in Sweden combined with regression discontinuity design for the years 2003-2013 for students who graduated 2003-2005. We find a clear jump in university attendance due to university eligibility. This jump coincides with a p
To satisfy customers’ desires with a maintained efficiency of the production process is a challenge for many house construction companies. Houses are one-off projects with a production process characterized by variability and complexity that often lead to unpredicted costs. Prefabricated component solutions could possibly solve these issues through modularization, mass customization and delayed pr
Background: A novel generation of PET scanners based on silicon (Si)-photomultiplier (PM) technology has recently been introduced. Concurrently, there has been development of new reconstruction methods aimed at increasing the detectability of small lesions without increasing image noise. The combination of new detector technologies and new reconstruction algorithms has been found to increase image
BACKGROUND: Despite the increasing longevity of the world's population, with an unprecedented rise in the number of people who need palliative care (PC), there has been sparse research regarding palliative care for older people, especially when it comes to comparison of PC between healthcare systems and cultures. The aim of this systematic scoping review was to identify the characteristics of the
Bakgrund: Artros är ett samlingsbegrepp för destruktiva sjukdomsprocesser i synovialleder. Den vanliga sjukdomen kan på sikt leda till cystbildning och deformiteter med ojämna benkanter samt smalare ledspringor. Avsmalning beror på att ledbrosk förstörs och ben därmed inte längre skyddas. Framtidsprognos tyder på en ökad befolkning i Norden, ökad livslängd hos invånarna samt ökad övervikt vilket i
Background: Spirometry reference values differ by race/ethnicity, which is controversial. We evaluated the effect of race-specific references on prevalence of lung function impairment and its relation to breathlessness and mortality in the US population. Methods: Population-based analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007–2012. Race/ethnicity was analyzed as bla
The response of excitatory amino acid transporter binding sites in the rat brain to 10 min of cerebral ischemia induced by bilateral common carotid occlusion combined with hypotension was examined. We observed a transient increase in the density of transporter binding sites that was first noticeable at 5 min post-recovery and persisted for 48 h. The increase in binding sites was found throughout t
Growth factor receptors activate protein tyrosine kinases, which are important for cell growth and survival. The protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity and the levels of phosphotyrosine (Ptyr) containing proteins were studied in the rat neocortex exposed to 15 min of transient cerebral ischaemia. The levels of the Ptyr containing proteins increase during recovery in the synaptosomal fraction, whil
Abstract: An involvement of excitatory amino acid (EAA) transmitter–receptor interactions in the development of hypoglycemia‐induced neuronal damage has been suggested. We report here on the binding to EAA receptors in the rat caudate nucleus and cerebral cortex, during and following severe insulin‐induced hypoglycemia with an isoelectric EEG of 10 or 30 min duration. The binding of α[3H]amino‐3‐
