Background Exertional breathlessness is a key symptom in cardiorespiratory disease and can be quantified using incremental exercise testing, but its prognostic significance is unknown. We evaluated the ability of abnormally high breathlessness intensity during incremental cycle exercise testing to predict all-cause, respiratory, and cardiac mortality. Study design and methods Longitudinal cohort s
Objective: Failure to rescue (FTR), defined as mortality due to failure in responding to in-hospital complications, is an important quality indicator. This study aimed to assess incidence and predictors for FTR among centers performing fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA). Methods: Consecutive patients treated by FB-EVAR for TAAAs be
Övergången till mer hållbara livsmedelssystem och växtbaserade proteinkällor har blivit allt viktigare för att minska livsmedelssystemets klimatpåverkan. Rapsfrökaka är en restprodukt från oljeextraktion med potential att användas som råvara för proteinutvinning och vidare tillämpning i växtbaserade livsmedel tack vare dess balanserade komposition av aminosyror. På grund av bitter smak och högt inThe transition to more sustainable food systems and plant-based protein sources has become increasingly important in reducing the climate impact of the food system. Rapeseed press cake is a by-product of oil extraction that has the potential to be used as a raw material for protein extraction and further use in plant-based foods, thanks to its balanced amino acid profile. Due to its bitter taste a
Tidigare forskning på diverse olika sporter har visat att mått på visuell kontroll, exempelvis tidig och lång sista blickfixering på målobjektet (Quiet Eye Onset och Quiet Eye Duration) innan en kritisk fas av kinetisk aktivitet hänger ihop med positivt utfall på precisionsuppgifter. Mått på kinetisk aktivitet har också studerats och visat att exempelvis maxhastighet i rörelsen är lägre på träffarPrevious research on various sports has shown that aspects of visual control, namely an earlier onset and longer duration of the final fixation on the target (Quiet Eye Onset and Quiet Eye Duration) before a critical movement is associated with successful outcome on a precision task. Measurements on kinetic activity have also been studied and shown that hits are associated with lower max velocity
Communication in aquatic habitats commonly occurs via chemicals released from organisms. Chemical cues are used to detect prey and predators, and hence, play an important role in predator-prey interactions. Chemical cues from predators may induce morphological and behavioural responses in prey. For example, crucian carp (Carassius carassius) has demonstrated a morphologically induced defence with
Denna uppsats handlade om antisocialt beteende kopplat till (upplevd) självförmåga (selfefficacy) och självkänsla (self-esteem). Syftet var att undersöka ifall det finns en korrelation mellan grad av antisocialt beteende och grad av självförmåga och självkänsla. Hypotesen är att ju högre grad av antisocialt beteende desto högre grad av självförmåga och lägre grad av självkänsla. Metoden som använd
Objectives To assess the prevalence of HIV and related risk behaviours among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Iran. Methods We conducted a national cross-sectional bio-behavioural surveillance survey between March and July 2010, interviewing male PWID from a geographically dispersed sample through a facility-based sampling method. Results We recruited 2480, and tested 2290 PWID. The overall preva
Background: Published associations between dietary carotenoids and vitamin C and bladder cancer risk are inconsistent. Biomarkers may provide more accurate measures of nutrient status. Objective: We investigated the association between plasma carotenoids and vitamin C and risk of urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) in a case-control study nested within the European Prospective Investigation into Cance
Biomass derived gases produced via gasification, pyrolysis, and fermentation are carbon neutral alternative fuels that can be used in gas turbines, furnaces, and piston engines. To make use of these environmentally friendly but energy density low fuels the combustion characteristics of these fuels have to be fully understood. In this study the structure and laminar burning velocity of biomass deri
The macrocyclic ketone (MK) group of fragrance ingredients was evaluated for safety following a complete literature search. For high end users, calculated maximum dermal exposures vary from 0.13% to 1.10%; systemic exposures vary from 0.0005 to 0.0441 mg/kg/day. The MKs had low acute toxicity and no significant repeat dose toxicity. Liver weight and blood biochemistry effects were reversible after
The natural history of oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infections results from interactions of the virus, the host, and multiple cofactors. We studied the association between humoral immune response to HPV and smoking in 191 HPV infected women prospectively. Two follow-up samples (first and last) were analysed for serum cotinine levels, IgA and IgG antibodies to HPV16 and 18, and Chlamydia tr
Frequent loss of heterozygosity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has been found in several chromosomal regions such as 3p, 9p, 11q, 13q and 17p. Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene is located at 3p14.2 encompassing a common fragile site, and is identified as a tumor suppressor gene. We examined 57 patients with HNSCC using immunohistochemistry, western blot, and reverse transcripta
The purpose was to investigate "adult foster childrens" view on their childhood and how it may have been influencing their adulthood. The importance of relationships were mostly in focus in the essay. The method was qualitative deepinterviews with three adult foster children between 30-42 years of age. Important themequestions was about: origin family, the time in foster home, relations
Background: There is a need to develop methods of determining concentration and purity for two new affinity ligands, protein T and protein H, in order to ensure the quality of an industrial production of said proteins. Aims: To develop a High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography, HPSEC, method to determine concentration and purity of protein T and to improve an existing HPSEC method for

The risk for drinking water scarcity does not only concern developing countries and arid places. In its 2023 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified water scarcity as one of Europe’s key risks out of five in the foreseeable future. Sweden experiences water shortages more and more frequently during summer, and the need to protect groundwater resources is imperative. In
Denna studie undersökte attityder till barnfrihet i en svensk kontext, med särskilt fokus på hur barnfria kvinnor upplevde reaktioner från sin omgivning. En mixed-methods-design tillämpades. En kvantitativ enkätstudie (n = 131) mätte attityder med hjälp av en modifierad version av Attitudes Toward Voluntary Childlessness Scale. Resultaten visade att kvinnor uttryckte signifikant mer positiva attitThis study examined attitudes toward voluntary childlessness in Sweden, with a specific focus on how childfree women experience social reactions. A mixed methods approach was employed. A quantitative survey (n = 131) measured attitudes using a modified version of the Attitudes Toward Voluntary Childlessness Scale. Results showed that women held significantly more positive attitudes towards volunta
In recent years, application of ensemble models has been increased tremendously in various types of natural hazard assessment such as landslides and floods. However, application of this kind of robust models in groundwater potential mapping is relatively new. This study applied four data mining algorithms including AdaBoost, Bagging, generalized additive model (GAM), and Naive Bayes (NB) models to
