Massive MIMO for 5G: Theory, Implementation and Prototyping
This chapter presents a flexible platform that supports prototyping up to 20 MHz bandwidth 128-antenna multiple input, multiple output (MIMO). It devotes theory, design, implementation, and prototyping of Massive MIMO for 5G communication systems. The chapter overviews the principles and theory of Massive MIMO. It describes the channel modeling system with a focus on specific phenomena of large sc
A Measurement Based Multilink Shadowing Model for V2V Network Simulations of Highway Scenarios
Shadowing from vehicles can significantly degrade the performance of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication in multilink systems, e.g., vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). It is thus important to characterize and model the influence of common shadowing objects like cars properly when designing these VANETs. Despite the fact that for multilink systems it is essential to model the joint effects on t

The Performative, Sensory, and Embodied Experiences of Heritage: Spatial Changes and Heritage Construction in Rural and Urban China
This paper is inspired by recent literature that emphasise the performative, sensory, and embodied experiences of heritage practices, as well as by the recent “spatial” turn in China studies. Both rural and urban China has undergone dramatic spatial changes since 1949 that at first were brought about by ideological and political movements and later by market economic reforms. These changes have de
Representative Bearers of Tradition: Grassroots Preservation and Official Policies
This paper addresses the life, work, representations, and official policies surrounding so-called representative bearers (daibiao chuancheng renwu) of tradition. The paper provides an overview of this policy and the selection process at both the local, national and global level. The paper focuses on the field of ancestral ceremonies and aim to illustrate the artificial and arbitrary dichotomy that
The Evolving Heritagescape: Actors and Narratives in Xinye village
The threat to the rural heritage has since the 1990s become a concern for Chinesescholars and heritage experts. Today many individual buildings and whole villageshave been listed as protected sites at different levels. But long before experts began totake an interest, villagers were themselves actively involved in protecting their owntraditions and the buildings of importance to the community (in
Heritage’s place: Heritage and narratives in city promotional films and independent documentary films in Beijing and Shanghai
This paper looks at the place of heritage in city branding in China and the different discourses and narratives found in city promotional films and independent documentary films. A city’s character is shaped by its history. All the different cultural, social and historical events that have taken place in the city inform its identity and urban form, as manifested in monuments and buildings from dif
Psychiatric diagnoses in older people with intellectual disability in comparison with the general population a register study
AIMS: To describe the occurrence of psychiatric diagnoses in a specialist care setting in older people with intellectual disability (ID) in relation to those found in the same age group in the general population.METHOD: A cohort of people with ID (n = 7936), aged 55 years or more in 2012, was identified, as was an age and sex-matched cohort from the general population (n = 7936). Information regar

Ex vivo 18O-labeling mass spectrometry identifies a peripheral amyloid β clearance pathway
Background: Proteolytic degradation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides has been intensely studied due to the central role of Aβ in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. While several enzymes have been shown to degrade Aβ peptides, the main pathway of Aβ degradation in vivo is unknown. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ42 is reduced in AD, reflecting aggregation and deposition in the brain, but low CSF Aβ42 is,
Energy balance and obesity : what are the main drivers?
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to review the evidence of the association between energy balance and obesity. Methods: In December 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Lyon, France convened a Working Group of international experts to review the evidence regarding energy balance and obesity, with a focus on Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC). Results: The global epide
Non-market values of algae beach-cast management : Study site Trelleborg, Sweden
Eutrophication is one of the most serious global threats to coastal areas. One effect of eutrophication is seasonal macroalgal blooms. As a consequence, large amounts of beach-cast algae are today reported from coastal areas worldwide. In this study, we analyze nonmarket benefits by capturing local residents' Willingness To Pay (WTP) for an environmental program to regularly remove and utilize beaEutrophication is one of the most serious global threats to coastal areas.

Minimally important change, measurement error, and responsiveness for the Self-Reported Foot and Ankle Score
Background and purpose — Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to evaluate results in orthopedic surgery. To enhance good responsiveness with a PROM, the minimally important change (MIC) should be established. MIC reflects the smallest measured change in score that is perceived as being relevant by the patients. We assessed MIC for the Self-reported Foot and Ankle Score (
Surgical management of degenerative meniscus lesions : the 2016 ESSKA meniscus consensus
Purpose: A degenerative meniscus lesion is a slowly developing process typically involving a horizontal cleavage in a middle-aged or older person. When the knee is symptomatic, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy has been practised for a long time with many case series reporting improved patient outcomes. Since 2002, several randomised clinical trials demonstrated no additional benefit of arthroscop
Predictive validity of the K-SADS-PL 2009 version in school-aged and adolescent outpatients
Background: The schedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia for school-age children (K-SADS) is one of the most commonly used standardized diagnostic interviews in child and adolescent psychiatry. Validity studies are scarce, and limited to concurrent validity with other measures and clinical diagnoses. Aims: To evaluate the K-SADS interview in an outpatient child and adolescent psychiatry

Clinical Findings and Outcome after Stroke. Including a Translational Stem Cell Therapy Perspective.
Background and Purpose: Stroke is one of the dominant causes of death and adult disability in the world. There is a need for novel therapeutic approaches to improve functional recovery and outcome after stroke, and experimental studies have shown that stem cell-based therapies (SCT) hold much potential in this regard. This thesis, comprising 5 papers, aims to explore and describe clinical symptoms
