THE ISPRS-EUROSDR GEOBIM BENCHMARK 2019

Standardised data formats and data models are essential for data integration and interoperability, which in turn adds value to data by allowing its reuse in multiple contexts. For this reason, in recent years extensive efforts have been focused on standards development. When representing the built environment, 3D city models and Building Information Models are particularly relevant, and their inte

Longitudinal changes in risk status in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Aims: Low-risk status in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) predicts better survival. The present study aimed to describe changes in risk status and treatment approaches over multiple clinical assessments in PAH, taking age and comorbidity burden into consideration. Methods and results: The study included incident patients from the Swedish PAH registry, diagnosed with PAH in 2008–2019. Group A

Quality of life among frail older persons (65+ years) in nursing homes : A cross-sectional study

Aim: To assess the quality of life in frail older persons (65+ years) living in nursing homes and to examine differences between quality of life perceptions among different gender and age groups. Design: Cross-sectional. Methods: Data were collected during 2015-2017 based on two questionnaires (WHOQOL-OLD and WHOQOL-BREF). Seventy-eight older persons living in nursing homes in southern Sweden answ

Kobber er et forhistorisk produkt som fortsatt produseres. Produksjonsmetodene og bruksområdene har blitt radikalt forandret mange ganger, og metallet stod sentralt i fremveksten av den moderne verdensøkonomien. I tidlig moderne tid var Skandinavia lenge den største produsenten av kobber i Europa, spesielt gjennom kobberanleggene i Falun i Sverige og på Røros i Norge. Likevel har metallet ofte bli

Risk of prostate cancer for men fathering through assisted reproduction: nationwide population based register study

Objective To compare the risk and severity of prostate cancer between men achieving fatherhood by assisted reproduction and men conceiving naturally.Design National register based cohort study.Setting Sweden from January 1994 to December 2014.Participants 1 181 490 children born alive in Sweden during 1994-2014 to the same number of fathers. Fathers were grouped according to fertility status by mo

Testosterone replacement therapy in men who conceived with intracytoplasmic sperm injection: nationwide register study

Objectives Male hypogonadism is associated with higher risk of co-morbidity and premature mortality. It is, therefore, of utmost importance to identify young men who are at the highest risk of testosterone deficiency and who may benefit from preventive measures. In this context, infertile men constitute a high-risk group. The extent of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) among infertile men, de

The body and the deed. Places of rape in Swedish court narratives

A fundamental starting point for this article is that place in a broad sense is a crucial, yet forgotten, dimension in the legal analysis of rape. Therefore, in this study I ask what role place has in the adjudication of rape; in the interpretation of rape law as well as in the evaluation of evidence. I analyze three Swedish rape cases, two from the Supreme Court, marking out the sexual act of rap

The language of sustainable tourism as a proxy indicator of research quality

Sustainable tourism (ST) has recently become the mainstream of the tourism industry and, accordingly, has influenced contemporary tourism research. However, ST is not just theories about indications and contraindications of global travel, but also a specific language that needs mastering to take sustainability work forward. In other words, what research receives recognition depends on the proficie

Celiac disease can be predicted by high levels of tissue transglutaminase antibodies in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes

Objectives: Children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are not included in guidelines regarding diagnosis criteria for celiac disease (CD) without a diagnostic biopsy, due to lack of data. We explored whether tissue transglutaminase antibodies (anti-tTG) that were ≥ 10 times the upper limit of normal (10× ULN) predicted CD in T1D. Methods: Data from the Swedish prospective Better Diabetes Diagnosis study

Unveiling cryptic diversity among Müllerian co-mimics : insights from the Western Palaearctic Syntomis moths (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae)

Accurate species delimitation is of primary importance in biodiversity assessments and in reconstructing patterns and processes in the diversification of life. However, the discovery of cryptic species in virtually all taxonomic groups unveiled significant gaps in our knowledge of biodiversity. Mimicry complexes are good candidates to source for cryptic species. Indeed, members of mimicry complexe

The Compensation Hypothesis Revisited and Reversed

This note describes how research on the link between economic openness and government size has changed over time. Early interpretations suggested that countries develop welfare states to compensate for volatility caused by economic openness (the compensation hypothesis). Recent findings have cast doubts on this interpretation. For example, more open economies are on average not more volatile, and

Brevican and Neurocan Peptides as Potential Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers for Differentiation Between Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease

BACKGROUND: Brevican and neurocan are central nervous system-specific extracellular matrix proteoglycans. They are degraded by extracellular enzymes, such as metalloproteinases. However, their degradation profile is largely unexplored in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).OBJECTIVE: The study aim was to quantify proteolytic peptides derived from brevican and neurocan in human CSF of patients with Alzheimer

High platelet count is associated with low bone mineral density : The MrOS Sweden cohort

Summary: In elderly ambulatory men, high platelet and high neutrophil counts are related to low bone mineral density (BMD), after adjustment for relevant covariates. Low hemoglobin (hgb) is even associated with low BMD, but this relationship seems to be dependent on estradiol and osteocalcin. Purpose: Blood and bone cells exist in close proximity to each other in the bone marrow. Accumulating evid

Quantification of Plasma Kynurenine Metabolites Following One Bout of Sprint Interval Exercise

The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation produces several neuroactive metabolites suggested to be involved in a wide variety of diseases and disorders, however, technical challenges in reliably detecting these metabolites hampers cross-comparisons. The main objective of this study was to develop an accurate, robust and precise bioanalytical method for simultaneous quantification of ten pla
