How European primary care practitioners think the timeliness of cancer diagnosis can be improved : a thematic analysis

BACKGROUND: National European cancer survival rates vary widely. Prolonged diagnostic intervals are thought to be a key factor in explaining these variations. Primary care practitioners (PCPs) frequently play a crucial role during initial cancer diagnosis; their knowledge could be used to improve the planning of more effective approaches to earlier cancer diagnosis. OBJECTIVES: This study sought t

Multiplicity conversion based on intramolecular triplet-to-singlet energy transfer

The ability to convert between molecular spin states is of utmost importance in materials chemistry. Förster-type energy transfer is based on dipole-dipole interactions and can therefore theoretically be used to convert between molecular spin states. Here, a molecular dyad that is capable of transferring energy from an excited triplet state to an excited singlet state is presented. The rate of con

Global microscopic calculations of odd-odd nuclei

The macroscopic-microscopic finite-range droplet model is combined with a particle-rotor coupling model in order to systematically describe low-energy spectra of odd-odd nuclei. The odd proton and neutron are allowed to interact through effective nuclear forces representing the residual neutron-proton interaction. In particular, ground-state spins and parities are calculated and compared to data,

Water and Thermal Properties Characterized in Phases of Wheat Flour Dough during Thawing and Baking Conditions

Phase separation of dough is based on the thermodynamic incompatibility of its components. The studies on phase-separated systems allow to model, understand, and develop foods. Model dough systems made with water and wheat flour were disassembled into their main structural phases, i.e. liquid, gel, gluten and starch phases, by ultracentrifugation, and further characterized with differential scanni

Clinical validation of the Swedish version of Dyspnoea-12 instrument in outpatients with cardiorespiratory disease

Introduction Breathlessness is the cardinal symptom in both cardiac and respiratory diseases, and includes multiple dimensions. The multidimensional instrument Dyspnoea-12 has been developed to assess both physical and affective components of breathlessness. This study aimed to perform a clinical validation of the Swedish version of Dyspnoea-12 in outpatients with cardiorespiratory disease. Method

Att göra trygghet i staden : Ett "samvärkande" projekt mellan kommun och civilsamhälle

I det första kapitlet presenteras tankar och koncept kring tillit och trygghet samt tidigare forskning om civilsamhället och relationen mellan den offentliga och den ideella sektorn. I andra kapitlet redogörs för projektets genomförande och olika steg. I rapportens tredje kapitel presenteras resultaten av arbetet. Rapporten avslutas med en sammanfattande reflektion kring ritualer och improvisation

The new London–Lund Corpus (LLC–2) : Design, compilation, access

This talk reports on the compilation of the new London–Lund Corpus (LLC–2) –a corpus of contemporary spoken British English, collected 2014–2019. The sizeand design of LLC–2 are the same as that of the world’s first corpus of spokenlanguage, namely the London–Lund Corpus (LLC–1), with spoken data mainlyfrom the 1960s. In addition to the fact that we have a corpus of contemporary speech, the existe

A Theoretical Twist on the Transparency of Open Notes : Qualitative Analysis of Health Care Professionals' Free-Text Answers

BACKGROUND: The New Public Management movement strove for transparency so that policy makers and citizens could gain insight into the work and performance of health care. As the use of the electronic health record (EHR) started to diffuse, a foundation was laid for enhanced transparency within and between health care organizations. Now we appear to be experiencing a new kind of transparency in the

Crystal structures of the Bacillus subtilis prophage lytic cassette proteins XepA and YomS.

As part of the Virus-X Consortium that aims to identify and characterize novel proteins and enzymes from bacteriophages and archaeal viruses, the genes of the putative lytic proteins XepA from Bacillus subtilis prophage PBSX and YomS from prophage SPβ were cloned and the proteins were subsequently produced and functionally characterized. In order to elucidate the role and the molecular mechanism o

Tool–chip thermal conductance coefficient and heat flux in machining : Theory, model and experiment

This study proposes a technique for determining a tool–chip thermal conductance coefficient and heat flux in machining. The technique is based on solving an inverse heat transfer problem (IHTP). Because the IHTP is ill-posed, a priori information is required for its effective solution. To derive this information, substantial qualitative and quantitative analysis of a mixed boundary value problem f

Ethical Considerations in Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics

Ethics is the study of the normative dimensions of human relations and experiences. This chapter discusses such questions in relation to basic values in modern society. The normative foundations for the analysis are the values of human dignity, autonomy, freedom, equality, and solidarity, as well as the responsibilities of society toward its citizens, including freedom, security, and justice. The
