Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is treated with stenting, but the underlying stenosis is often not severe, and stenting may potentially be omitted. Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate outcomes of patients with STEMI treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) without stenting. Methods: Patients were identified through the DANAMI-3-DEFER study. Ste

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is emitted by phytoplankton species in the oceans and constitutes the largest source of naturally emitted sulfur to the atmosphere. The climate impact of secondary particles, formed through the oxidation of DMS by hydroxyl radicals, is still elusive. This study investigates the hygroscopicity and cloud condensation nuclei activity of such particles and discusses the results

Ice-core timescales are vital for the understanding of past climate; hence they should be updated whenever significant amounts of new data become available. Here, the Greenland ice-core chronology GICC05 was revised for the last 3835 years by synchronizing six deep ice cores and three shallow ice cores from the central Greenland ice sheet. A new method was applied by combining automated counting o

As synchrotron facilities continue to generate increasingly brilliant X-rays and detector speeds increase, swift data reduction from the collected area detector images to more workable 1D diffractograms becomes of increasing importance. This work reports an integration algorithm that can integrate diffractograms in real time on modern laptops and can reach 10 kHz integration speeds on modern works

Advice and regulations regarding surface layers in Boverkets byggregler have largely remained unchanged over the past 40–50 years. What are these requirements based on and are they still relevant today? The question has been initiated by the company Ecophon. We found that the regulations are an engineering assessment and is not based on trials or research. The assessment that was made turns out to

Background: Interleukin-17 (IL-17) monoclonal antibody drugs have been increasingly significant in the treatment of psoriasis, but it is not clear whether the efficacy is equivalent across ethnicities. Objective: To explore the differences of short-term efficacy of IL-17 inhibitors between Caucasians and Asians. Methods: The pooled log risk ratio (logRR) between the groups was estimated. The meta-

An appropriate production of mature blood cells, or hematopoiesis, is essential for organismal health and homeostasis. In this developmental cascade, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differentiate into intermediate progenitor types, that subsequently give rise to the many distinct blood cell lineages. Here, we describe tools and methods that permit for temporal and native clonal-level HSC lineage t

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has challenged an array of democratic institutions in complex and unprecedented ways. Little academic work, however, has considered the pandemic’s impact on Canada’s courts. This article aims to partially fill that gap by exploring the Canadian court system’s response to COVID-19 and the prospects for administering justice amid disasters, all throug

Evaluating soil strength by geophysical methods using P-waves was undertaken in this study to assess the effects of changed binder ratios on stabilization and compression characteristics. The materials included dredged sediments collected in the seabed of Timrå region, north Sweden. The Portland cement (Basement CEM II/A-V, SS EN 197-1) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) were used as

Data on malignancy in patients with collagenous colitis (CC) is scarce. We aimed to determine the incidence of cancers in patients with CC. In a two-stages, observational study, data on cancers in patients diagnosed with CC during 2000-2015, were collected from two cohorts. The risk was calculated according to the age-standardized rate for the first cohort and according to the standardized inciden

The purpose of the Master Thesis is, on one hand, to develop a traction control system, integrating and implementing two controllers in the vehicle, each of them previously designed and tested separately, to test them together to evaluate their performance. On the other hand, to develop accurate and well-performing controllers, the data acquisition needs to be precise so parameters and devices nee

Vaccinations are one of the most significant interventions to public health, but vaccine hesitancy creates concerns for a portion of the population in many countries, including Sweden. Since discussions on vaccine hesitancy are often taken on social networking sites, data from Swedish social media are used to study and quantify the sentiment among the discussants on the vaccination-or-not topic du

This paper surveys recent contructions in higher Auslander–Reiten theory. We focus on those which, due to their combinatorial properties, can be regarded as higher dimensional analogues of path algebras of linearly oriented type A quivers. These include higher dimensional analogues of Nakayama algebras, of the mesh category of type ZA∞ and the tubes, and of the triangulated category generated by a

Flicker, or more precisely temporal light modulation (TLM), has re-emerged as a problem with the introduction of LED-based lighting technology. TLM, meaning variations in light intensity over time, may have negative effect on human health, causing annoyance, headaches, eyestrain and migraine. the negative consequences of TLM create an obstacle to broad and rapid adaptation of the new LED-technolog
