The need for digital building information is increasing, both in the form of 3D city models (as geodata) and of more detailed building information models (BIM). BIM models are mainly used in the architecture, engineering and construction industry, but have recently become interesting also for municipalities. The overall aim of this paper is to study one way of dividing a building, namely the divis
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a major cause of sudden cardiac death in the young. Based on previous reports of functional abnormalities in not only coronary but also peripheral vessels in adults with HCM, we aimed to assess both peripheral vascular and myocardial diastolic function in young individuals with early stage of HCM and in individuals at risk for HCM. Children, adolescents and you
Størling and colleagues hypothesise in this issue (Diabetologia DOI: 10.1007/s00125-013-3045-3 ) that post-translational modification (PTM) of autoantigens might create tissue-specific neo-epitopes that could trigger type 1 diabetes. Data on PTM of islet autoantigens are scarce and readers should not believe that the PTM hypothesis is supported by strong experimental evidence. The proposed genetic
The plasma levels of cystatin C, β2-microglobulin, beta-trace protein, retinol binding protein (RBP) and creatinine were determined in plasma samples from 111 randomly selected patients with eGFRcystatin C ≤ 60% of eGFRcreatinine and from 55 control patients with 0.9eGFRcreatinine ≤ eGFRcystatin C ≤ 1.1eGFRcreatinine (eGFRcystatin C ≈ eGFRcreatinine). The concentration ratios of cystatin C/creatin
I bokens första studie, "Samhällsbyggarnas tv-undervisning. Estetik och ideologi i utbildningsprogram för televisionen" författad av Ann-Kristin Wallengren, ställs frågan om hur ett programs form och estetik är kopplat till samtidens samhällsbild och ideologier. Genom analyser av ett antal samhällskunskapsprogram för skolbarn visas hur utbildningsprogrammen från 1960-talet och framåt har förändrat
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling är att förstå och förklara frivården, som organisation och som praktik samt att få en fördjupad förståelse av förhållandet mellan stöd och kontroll. Avhandlingen bygger på två empiriska material. En studie av arkivhandlingar och publicerade texter från 1820-2000. En intervjustudie där tjugo frivårdsklienter, tjugo handläggare och tio lekmannaThe purpose of this thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between support and control. The purpose is reached by a study of the probation service as an organization and the practical side of its work The thesis is based on two empirical studies. One is a study of records and published texts from the period 1820-2000. The second is an interview study, in which twenty probatio
1. We measured the abundance and biomass of filter-feeding microcrustacean zooplankton and calculated their grazing impact on phytoplankton biomass during summer in five shallow, mesotrophic to eutrophic lakes. For three of the lakes data exist both from years with dense submerged vegetation and low turbidity (the clearwater state), as well as from years characterised by sparse vegetation and high
Patients with ductal carcinoma-in-situ (DCIS) are currently not prescribed adjuvant systemic treatment after surgery and radiotherapy. Prediction of DCIS patients who would benefit from radiotherapy is warranted. Statins have been suggested to exert radio-sensitizing effects. The target for cholesterol-lowering statins is HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR), the rate-limiting enzyme in the mevalonate pathwa
Celiac disease is associated with tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (tTGA) in individuals carrying the HLA risk-haplotypes DQA105:01-DQB102:01 (DQ2) and/or DQA103:01-DQB103:02 (DQ8). The aim was to identify celiac disease in a HLA genotyped birth-cohort prospectively screened for celiac disease.
Objectives: To study signs of obstructive airway disease (OAD) in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) using the forced oscillation technique (FOT). Method: Thirty-seven female pSS patients (median age 64, range 38-77 years) without previous physician-diagnosed OAD, participating in a longitudinal follow-up study of pulmonary function, and 74 female population-based controls (median age
The SYT-SSX fusion gene has been implicated in the malignant tumor cell growth of synovial sarcoma, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that SYT-SSX is critical for the protein level of cyclin D1 in synovial sarcoma cells. Antisense oligonucleotides to SYT-SSX mRNA rapidly and drastically decreased cyclin D1 and subsequently inhibited cell growt
To estimate incremental costs for patients with psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis (PsO/PsA) compared to population-based referents free from PsO/PsA and estimate costs attributable specifically to PsO/PsA.
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training in men with poststroke lower urinary tract symptoms. Thirty-one poststroke men, median age 68 years, were included in this single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Thirty participants, 15 in each group, completed the study. The intervention consisted of 3 months (12 weekly sessions) of pelvic floor muscle tr
The cell cycle regulating protein p27(Kip1) (p27) has dual roles by acting as both a cdk-inhibitor and as an assembly factor for different cdk-complexes. Loss of p27 has been linked to malignant features in tumours, however the exact role of p27 deregulation in breast cancer regarding prognostic and treatment predictive information has not been fully clarified. We have evaluated p27 expression in
National guidelines are released regularly, and professionals are expected to adopt and implement them. However, studies dealing with mental health-care professionals' views about guidelines are sparse. The aim of the present study was to highlight mental health-care staff's views on the Swedish national guidelines for 'psychosocial interventions for schizophrenia or schizophrenia-type symptoms' a
The signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus is an invasive species in Sweden, threatening the red-listed nobel crayfish Astacus astacus through spreading the crayfish plague. Time-to-event models can handle censored data on such introduced populations for which the state (successful or not) is only partially known at the last observation, but even though data on introduced populations most often
