The impact of future climate scenarios on surface and groundwater resources was simulated using a modeling approach for an artificial recharge area in arid southern Iran. Future climate data for the periods of 2010–2030 and 2030–2050 were acquired from the Canadian Global Coupled Model (CGCM 3.1) for scenarios A1B, A2, and B1. These scenarios were adapted to the studied region using the delta-chan
Background and purpose - A shortened tibial stem could influence the early prosthetic fixation. We therefore compared the short stem to the standard-length stem using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) as primary outcome measure. Patients and methods - 60 patients were randomized to receive a cemented Triathlon total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a tibial tray of either standard or short stem length.
Biological control, an essential ecosystem service to agriculture, can be affected by ecological processes operating at landscape scales. Here we assessed the effect of landscape complexity, measured as proportion of arable land (PAL), on the abundance of aphids, parasitoids, and specialist and generalist predators. In addition we set up cage experiments to test the ability of these groups of enem
The neuronopathic forms of the human inherited metabolic disorder, Gaucher disease (GD), are characterized by severe neuronal loss, astrogliosis and microglial proliferation, but the cellular and molecular pathways causing these changes are not known. Recently, a mouse model of neuronopathic GD was generated in which glucocerebrosidase deficiency is limited to neural and glial progenitor cells. We
We have examined concurrent and prospective validity of an index of self-reported walking (RW) of 307 home-dwelling women aged 75 years and above, of whom 155 in 1 year had in all 308 falls of which 13% resulting in fractures. It consists of five items concerning various aspects of self-reported walking identified by factor analysis. The sum score on this ''RW-index'' correlated moderately ( r = 0
Background While effective vocational methods for gaining employment exist for people with schizophrenia and similar conditions, no evidence exists with regard to people with affective disorders. We aimed to study the effectiveness of a newly developed Individual Enabling and Support (IES) model adapted for the target group and compared to traditional vocational rehabilitation (TVR). Methods An as
Background: The aim of this study is to report the relationship between certain single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and blunted nighttime blood pressure (BP) fall in patients with coronary artery disease confirmed by coronary angiography. Methods: According to the percentage decrease in mean systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) during the nighttime period, subjects were classified as dipper
We explored the benefit of video communication in home rehabilitation after shoulder joint replacement and compared it to referral for physiotherapy in the conventional way. A total of 22 patients were included in the study. The intervention group (n = 10) had training at home under the supervision of a physiotherapist at the hospital using videoconferencing. The control group (n = 12) had physiot
Psychological stress has been reported as a possible trigger of atrial fibrillation (AF). No studies have investigated whether any association between stress and AF could be modified by genetic susceptibility to AF (AF-genetic risk score (AF-GRS)). 8765 men and 13,543 women from the Malmö Diet Cancer Study, a population-based cohort, were included in the analyses. A variable representing stress wa
Introduction Pediatric patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) have several risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Although these patients are occasionally treated with thromboprophylaxis, no guidelines are implemented in Sweden. Scarce data from adult patients indicate an increased risk of VTE, but pediatric data is largely missing. Given the favorable overall survival of HL, there should rea

De svenska grundlagarna innehåller rättigheter som anger ramen för det offentliga maktutövandet. Över tid har rättigheterna gått från att rikta sig främst till lagstiftaren, till att i större och större grad genomsyra rättstillämpningen. Inom den internationella privat- och processrätten kan en domstol ibland inte acceptera ett utländskt avgörande om det strider mot grundläggande värderingar. DettThe Swedish constitution contains rights that set the frames within which the public power acts. Over time, the rights have gone from mainly addressing the legislator to affecting the adjudication in individual cases more and more. In the area of private international law, a court cannot recognise or enforce a foreign judgment if it infringes fundamental values. This might be the case if a charter
This thesis outlines the design and construction of an acoustophoretic trapping device with greatly increased capacity and throughput, compared to current commercial systems. In acoustic trapping, a strong, localised acoustic field is generated inside a channel. This field can capture and retain particles against a flow, allowing for nanoparticle purification and enrichment without the need for ul
The use of millimetre-wave frequencies in Fifth generation New Radio has lead to high path loss due to radio propagation environment. Simultaneously, high data rates is a must for current products due to high market demand. This requirement accounts for efficient tracking of the best beam for the user equipment to stay connected to it. Current products at Ericsson use such methods of beam manageme
Objective. The prevalence of anemia in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been broadly described. The recurrence, type and burden of anemia remain unenlightened. The primary objective was to describe this. The secondary objective was to evaluate the implementation of European guidelines. Materials and methods. This longitudinal follow-up study included 300 IBD outpatients from six centers in Sca
BACKGROUND: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles accumulate in the arterial wall and become oxidized during atherogenesis, leading to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. The major protein of the LDL particle, apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100), becomes fragmented during oxidation and a target for the immune system. METHODS: In this study we used in situ ellipsometry to monitor the adsorption
Att använda vaccinpass under covid-19-pandemin är omdiskuterat och frågan om förenligheten med mänskliga rättigheter lyfts ofta i debatten. Sedan den 1 december 2021 har Sverige gällande regler för när vaccinationsbevis kan krävas och det finns förslag som skulle innebära att användningen utökas. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att ta reda på hur den svenska regleringen kring vaccinpass ser ut och aThe use of vaccine passports during the covid-19-pandemic is a topic widely discussed and the question of its conformity with human rights is often lifted in the debate. Since the 1st December 2021, Sweden has regulations in place for when proof of vaccination can be required and there are drafts that would expand the use even more. This essay seeks to find out what the Swedish regulation concerni
