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
Syftet med detta projekt har varit att analysera huruvida, och i sådana fall på vilket sätt, koncessionsplikten hämmar förutsättningarna för småskalig elproduktion, främst mikroproduktion. I detta ingår också att komma med förslag på hur juridiska och regleringsmässiga förändringar skulle kunna se ut för att öka möjligheterna för transitering av lokalt producerad energi. Studien har framförallt ba
We provide an analysis of a randomly grown 2-d network which models the morphological growth of dendritic and axonal arbors. From the stochastic geometry of this model we derive a dynamic graph of potential synaptic connections. We estimate standard network parameters such as degree distribution, average shortest path length and clustering coefficient, considering all these parameters as functions
The 1918 influenza pandemic had not only a massive instant death toll but also lasting effects on its survivors. Several studies have shown that children born in 1919, and thus exposed to the H1N1 virus in utero, experienced worse health and socioeconomic outcomes in older ages than surrounding birth cohorts. This study combines several sources of contemporary statistics with full-population indiv
In this work, we numerically study a self-guiding process in which ionization plays a dominant role and analyze its effect on high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases. Although this type of self-guiding-termed "plasmacore- induced self-guiding" in previous works-limits the achievable cutoff by regulating the intensity of the laser beam, it provides favorable conditions for phase matching, whi
Equatorial volcanic eruptions are known to impact the atmospheric circulation on seasonal time scales through a strengthening of the stratospheric zonal winds followed by dynamic ocean-atmosphere coupling. This emerges as the positive phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation in the first 5 years after an eruption. In the North Atlantic, other modes of atmospheric circulation contribute to the clima
Graphite electrodes were modified with triangular (AuNTrs) or spherical (AuNPs) nanoparticles and further modified with fructose dehydrogenase (FDH). The present study reports the effect of the shape of these nanoparticles (NPs) on the catalytic current of immobilized FDH pointing out the different contributions on the mass transfer–limited and kinetically limited currents. The influence of the sh
In a low temperature district heating (LTDH) system the importance of well performing network and customer installations are essential due to reduced operation margins. The use of low-value waste heat in the production sets limitations on the supply temperature. New piping materials sets limitations on the supply temperature and the pressure level. All in all, this means an increased focus on ensu
Legionellae are bacteria that naturally exist in freshwater environments, but have also been found in seawater and soils. Legionella can cause illnesses such as Legionnaires' disease or Pontiac Fever where the Legionnaires' disease is a severe variant of Pneumonia and Pontiac Fever is a milder influenza like variant.
