An important challenge when coupling two different time dependent problems is to increase parallelization in time. We suggest a multirate Neumann-Neumann waveform relaxation algorithm to solve two heterogeneous coupled heat equations. In order to fix the mismatch produced by the multirate feature at the space-time interface a linear interpolation is constructed. The heat equations are discretized
Understanding the etiology and meaning of behavioral symptomatology in the context of neurologic disease, and choosing the most effective intervention is a vexing task. This introduction summarizes the history of our understanding of the relationship between behavioral symptoms and primary neurologic conditions, and considers the ways in which both psychiatric and neurologic disorders occurring si
We study two-dimensional eigenvalue ensembles close to certain types of singular points in the interior of the droplet. We prove existence of a microscopic density which quickly approaches the equilibrium density, as the distance from the singularity increases beyond the microscopic scale. This kind of asymptotic is used to analyze normal matrix models in [3]. In addition, we obtain here asymptoti
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of visual impairment in the developed world. A number of patients experience complex lifelike visual experiences—Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS). In this systematic review, our aim was to provide an overview of the CBS literature in relation to AMD, to determine the prevalence of CBS in patients with AMD and to provide an overview of as
Direct neuronal reprogramming can be achieved using different approaches: by expressing neuronal transcription factors or microRNAs; and by knocking down neuronal repressive elements. However, there still exists a high variability in terms of the quality and maturity of the induced neurons obtained, depending on the reprogramming strategy employed. Here, we evaluate different long-term culture con
A dominating set of a graph G is a set D⊆ VG such that every vertex in VG- D is adjacent to at least one vertex in D, and the domination number γ(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. A set C⊆ VG is a covering set of G if every edge of G has at least one vertex in C. The covering number β(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a covering set of G. The set of connected graphs
The scientific debate following the initial formulation of the “bad luck” hypothesis in cancer development highlighted how measures based on analysis of variance are inappropriately used for risk communication. The notion of “explained” variance is not only used to quantify randomness, but also to quantify genetic and environmental contribution to disease in heritability coefficients. In this pape
There is a growing interest in organized self-help housing (OSHH) from both authoriti es and Non Governmental Organizati ons (NGOs) working in the housing sector due to the magnitude of housing problems in developing countries and the challenge of achieving sustainable humansett lements. This paper focuses on the experiences of two NGOs, FUPROVI in Costa Rica and SADEL in Sweden, in facilitati ng
Introduction: Differential patterns of brain atrophy on structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed four reproducible subtypes of Alzheimer's disease (AD): (1) “typical”, (2) “limbic-predominant”, (3) “hippocampal-sparing”, and (4) “mild atrophy”. We examined the neurobiological characteristics and clinical progression of these atrophy-defined subtypes. Methods: The four subtypes were rep
The global anti-doping effort in sport is based upon perceptions of the system as desirable, proper and appropriate and thus considered legitimate. The legitimacy of the anti-doping system has earlier been studied bottom-up, based on the views of athletes. In order to gain greater understanding of legitimation processes, it is also important to study legitimation strategies top-down, used by decis
Objective: To describe the incidence of incorrect computerized ECG interpretations of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter in a Swedish primary care population, the rate of correction of computer misinterpretations, and the consequences of misdiagnosis. Design: Retrospective expert re-analysis of ECGs with a computer-suggested diagnosis of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Setting: Primary h
The ability of the fire service to save lives in building fires has a profound impact on planning. However, very little empirical data are available on how different factors affect this capability—or even how many that are rescued annually. The current paper aims to partly fill this gap with an assessment of all rescues performed by the fire departments in Sweden during 2017. A combination of inci
Three ways of knowing; associative knowing, compositional knowing and contextual knowing are theoretically explored and illustrated. The main implication for mathematics education is that communication needs to focus on students' authorship. Classrooms in India and Sweden are compared and analyzed for these three ways of knowing.
In warm humid climate regions where majority of the population spend most of the time outdoors, an adequate outdoor thermal environment is crucial. A number of studies on outdoor thermal comfort in warm humid climates were carried out in the past decade. However, most of these studies focused on the formal urban fabric and left the informal urban fabric, where typically 30 to 85% of the population
Background Nocturia is one of the most prevalent and bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men, leading to increased morbidity and mortality and a considerable economic burden on healthcare systems. Understanding its natural history, effect of pharmacotherapy, and predictors of failure of pharmacotherapy would allow optimised patient management. Objective To evaluate the prevalence an
I dagsläget produceras ungefär 300 - 350 000 ton biogödsel i Skåne och med tanke på att det planeras för en mycket stor biogasanläggning1 i regionen kommer biogödselhanteringen och biogödselavsättningen bli en ännu större utmaning i framtiden. Detta kommer också att ställa höga krav på en fungerande logistikkedja, på infrastrukturen (vägnät och lagerkapacitet) och på spridningstekniken.2 I denna u
Key points: Parts of the fields of neuroscience and neurology consider the neocortex to be a functionally parcelled structure. Viewed through such a conceptual filter, there are multiple clinical observations after localized stroke lesions that seem paradoxical. We tested the effect that localized stroke-like lesions have on neuronal information processing in a part of the neocortex that is distan
This paper examines how images of unfortunate childhoods are invoked to make sense of psychological problems in adulthood. I use conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis to study a Swedish radio program in which a psychotherapist talks to people about their personal troubles. The findings suggest that, on one hand, the image of an unfortunate childhood was used as an explanator
