Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Coeliaki eller glutenenteropati (GE) är beteckningar på ett så kallat malabsorptionstillstånd, dvs ett tillstånd med brister (som kan omfatta bl a B-vitaminer, järn och kalk) och/eller diarré till följd av inflammation i tarmen. Vid GE sitter inflammationen i slemhinnan i början av tunntarmen. GE omnämndes första gången av Araeteus i Rom 2:a århundradet efter The prevalence of coeliac disease (CD) was initially estimated to 1/1537. Based on serial analysis [GA and endomysial antibodies (EMA)], the prevalence was 6/1970 (0.30%). In autoimmune chronic hepatitis 5.4% and in IDDM 2.6% had CD, why regular screening for CD in these conditions seems motivated. The frequency of IgA-GA positivity was increased in alcoholic liver disease, PBC, primary sclerosin

The monotone rearrrangement algorithm was introduced by Hardy, Littlewood and Po ́lya as a sorting device for functions. As- suming that x is a monotone function and that an estimate xn of x is given, consider the monotone rearrangement xˆn of xn. This new estimator is shown to be uniformly consistent. Under suitable as- sumptions, pointwise limit distribution results for xˆn are obtained. The fra

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett ökade förbrukningen av fossila bränslen kommer att accelerera den globala uppvärmningen med oöverskådlig inverkan på oss och vår miljö. Utvecklingen av alternativa, förnybara och miljömässigt rena energiformer är därför helt essentiell. En möjlig lösning är att skapa artificiell fotosyntes, där solenergi omvandlas till bränsle (till exempel vätgas) i en process där A continuing use of fossil fuels will accelerate global warning and result in severe consequences for the environment and thereby also us. Development of alternative, sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources is therefore crucial. One approach is to create an artificial photosynthetic system that converts sunshine into fuel (e.g. hydrogen gas) by splitting water molecules. However, i

Many existing accounts of African elections assume that voters base their electoral decisions on cues and incentives that are anchored in highly stable ethnic cleavage structures. Yet several newer contributions to the study of African electoral politics have questioned the ethno-clientelistic voting thesis and highlighted other determinants of vote choice, such as class, ideology and performance

With today’s rapid changes in socio-economy and technology, knowledge and learning are critical issues for private and civil service organizations. The needs for competence development range from short informal courses (without ECTS credits) to formal courses at university level (with ECTS credits). This article describes objectives and results of a Leonardo project, eGIS+ that developed and imple

It is often suggested that the emittance coupling of a storage ring should be adjusted to the so-called diffraction limit corresponding to the shortest wavelength of interest. For 1 Å radiation this leads to a typical requirement of 8 pm rad vertical emittance. In ultralow-emittance storage rings like the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring this corresponds to a comparably large setting of the emittance cou

In this paper the problems of organization and representation of concept knowledge are addressed from an autonomous agent perspective. The first part of the paper discusses the question of why an autonomous agent needs concepts at all and what other uses it can make of them. After the necessary and/or desirable functions of concepts have been identified, previous attempts to represent concepts are

The choice of a polymeric support is a key factor for the success of solid-phase methods for syntheses of organic compounds and biomolecules such as peptides and oligonucleotides. Classical Merrifield solid-phase peptide synthesis, performed on low cross-linked hydrophobic polystyrene (PS) beads, sometimes suffers from sequence-dependent coupling difficulties. The concept of incorporating PEG into

The two most common strategies for verification and validation, inspection and testing, are in a controlled experiment evaluated in terms of their fault detection capabilities. These two techniques are in the previous work compared applied to code. In order to compare the efficiency and effectiveness of these techniques on a higher abstraction level than code, this experiment investigates inspecti

In the water sector, there have been numerous failures in projects aiming at sustainable development and there have been some, but less numerous, examples of successes. However, the most striking observation is the near universal failure to learn from these examples. Somehow, scientists and decision makers have allowed the indications of new approaches and opportunities go undetected because they

A compact dual-element antenna suitable for ultrawideband (UWB) MIMO operation is proposed in this work. The size of the antenna is 25 mm by 40 mm and it covers the lower UWB band of 3.15-5.15 GHz. Apart from the inherent wideband isolation obtained through the different angle and polarization characteristics in the radiation patterns of the individual elements, the gap between the two antenna ele

Massive MIMO is considered a key technology for the future wireless communication systems. The promising properties in terms of higher spectral and transmit-energy efficiency are brought by the large number of antennas at the base station (BS). As the number of antennas increases, the aperture of the BS antenna array may become much larger, as compared to today's antenna arrays. In this case, mobi

Advanced radio system designs have been proposed that are intended to overcome or even take advantage of the radio channel caused by multipath effects in urban environments to achieve even higher performance. We present analytical expressions for the angle-of-arrival power density function (PDF) and general analysis for time of arrival (expressed in terms of distance) respectively, for the channel
