Background and purpose: Motion management techniques are important to spare the healthy tissue adequately. However, they are complex and need dedicated quality assurance. The aim of this study was to create a dynamic phantom designed for quality assurance and to replicate a patient's size, anatomy, and tissue density. Materials and methods: A computed tomography (CT) scan of a cancer patient was u
Importance: Despite increased use of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) in joint arthroplasty over recent decades, current evidence for prophylactic use of ALBC to reduce risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is insufficient. Objective: To compare the rate of revision attributed to PJI following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using ALBC vs plain bone cement. Design, Setting, and Pa
CONTEXT: Prostate cancer is a molecularly heterogeneous disease that is amenable to diagnostic testing to identify patients potentially eligible for personalised treatments inform familial risk and provide relevant information about potential prognosis. Several guidelines support the integration of genomic testing in a shared decision-making framework so that both health care professionals (HCPs)
At the core of this artistic doctoral thesis are four performance projects designed to counter the consumer-driven nature of contemporary performance-making while also addressing the need to develop sustainable methods of performance. Guided by the question: how to construct sustainable methods of performance for transformative encounters? the inquiry transcends the different layers of performance
This book is a key component of a PhD thesis derived from the artistic researchproject; How Little is Enough? and contains the essay Testimony of a Pilgrim andmanuscripts from the four performances that are central to the research project. Theentire PhD thesis is mediated through an on-line exposition on Research Catalogueusing mixed formats. The exposition encompasses the complete researchoutput
Skin barrier damage and subsequent development of harmful microbiota contribute to conditions such as wound infections, atopic dermatitis, and chronic wounds, which impact millions of people globally and pose a significant economic burden on healthcare systems. Established microbial sampling methods, such as swabs and tissue biopsies, provide limited information on the spatial distribution of bact
The skin microbiome undergoes dynamic changes during different phases of wound healing, however the role of bacteria in the wound healing process remains poorly described. In this study, we aimed to determine how wound bacteria develop over time in epidermal wounds, and how they interact with inflammatory processes during wound healing. To this end, we analyzed wound fluid and swab samples collect
Ribosomes trapped on mRNAs during protein synthesis need to be rescued for the cell to survive. The most ubiquitous bacterial ribosome rescue pathway is trans-translation mediated by tmRNA and SmpB. Genetic inactivation of trans-translation can be lethal, unless ribosomes are rescued by ArfA or ArfB alternative rescue factors or the ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) system, which in Bacill
Den femtonde nationella konferensen i svenska med didaktisk inriktning hölls vid Lunds universitet den 23-24 november 2022. Temat var Språk och litteratur - en omöjlig eller skön förening? I denna volym presenteras dom tre plenarföreläsarna samt ett urval av sektionsbidragen. Texterna är på svenska, danska och norska, och inbegriper nära nog hela forskningsfältet svenska med didaktisk inriktning.
Feminism has become a recurrent ingredient in many women's narratives of their selves and is regularly appearing as an important aspect of women's success, happiness and self‐realization. The development has been criticized for upholding a view in which structural inequalities are explained in terms of individual choices; choice feminism. This article examines two professional groups, lifestyle in
We investigate mean field games from the point of view of alarge number of indistinguishable players which eventually converges to infinity. The players are weakly coupled via their empirical measure. Thedynamics of the individual players is governed by pure jump type propagators over a finite space. Investigations are conducted in the framework ofnon-linear Markov processes. We show that the indi
Background: Over the last decade, computational sciences have contributed immensely to characterization of phenotypes of airway diseases, but it is difficult to compare derived phenotypes across studies, perhaps as a result of the different decisions that fed into these phenotyping exercises. We aim to perform a systematic review of studies using computational approaches to phenotype obstructive a
BackgroundEvidence on the role of exogenous female sex steroid hormones in asthma development in women remains conflicting. We sought to quantify the potential causal role of hormonal contraceptives and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) in the development of asthma in women.MethodsWe conducted a matched case–control study based on the West Sweden Asthma Study, nested in a representative cohort of 1
Background: Evidence abounds on the independent roles of social class and smoking in relation to obstructive airway diseases, but data are sparse on the impact of their interaction. We evaluated whether and to what extent social class and smoking interact in relation to risk of respiratory diseases in adults. Methods: Data from the population-based studies, West Sweden Asthma Study (WSAS, n = 23,7
Purpose: As social infrastructures, public libraries are increasingly recognised as providing more than access to books and information; librarians’ work is importantly centred around practices of care. However, the ways in which they provide care is poorly researched, let alone conceptualised. This paper explores how this important part of librarians’ daily work is practiced through the lens of i
Livsmedelsstrategin beskriver en vision som innebär att den svenska livsmedelskedjan år 2030 ska vara globalt konkurrenskraftig, innovativ, hållbar och attraktiv. Men i verkligheten präglas den av främst små och medelstora företag med begränsade investeringar och lågt fokus på FoU. Samtidigt finns det ett större utbud av livsmedelsprodukter på marknaden som gör det svårt för konsumenterna att välj
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Delivery by Caesarean section continues to rise globally and has been associated with the risk of developing type 1 diabetes and the rate of progression from pre-symptomatic stage 1 or 2 type 1 diabetes to symptomatic stage 3 disease. The aim of this study was to examine the association between Caesarean delivery and progression to stage 3 type 1 diabetes in children with pre-symp
Utställningen visar några av resultaten från ett pågående forsknings- och bokprojekt som handlar om hur vi bor och hur vi hanterar avfallet på de platser vi bor. Arbetet i sin helhet innefattar observationer och intervjuer i 27 miljöer där vi hanterar avfall runt om i Sverige.Utställningen är ett samarbete mellan Anna-Sara Fagerholm, doktorand i universell utformning och Donald Boström, fotograf o
In the Milanković judgment, the First Section of the European Court of Human Rights was called upon to assess whether the applicant’s criminal convictions based on the doctrine of command responsibility violated the principle of legality laid down in art. 7 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Court answered in the negative, finding itself in line with the jurisprudence of the ad hoc cr
