Developing systems by integrating Open Source Software (OSS) is increasingly gaining importance in the software industry. Although the literature claims that this approach highly impacts Requirements Engineering (RE) practices, there is a lack of empirical evidence to demonstrate this statement.

Vid kronisk myeloisk leukemi har målstyrd, kontinuerlig behandling med tyrosinkinashämmare lett till dramatiskt förbättrad överlevnad. Efter ett flertal år uppnås djupt molekylärt svar hos ca 50 procent av patienterna; ca 50 procent av dem kan då avbryta behandlingen utan tecken på återfall. Kontinuerlig behandling med tyrosinkinashämmare kan ge långsiktiga biverkningar. Efter patentutgång för imaChronic myeloid leukemia - a model disease for targeted therapy Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) pioneered as the first human malignancy linked to a specific cytogenetic aberration (the Philadelphia chromosome), which led the way to specific targeted therapies with imatinib (Glivec) and later tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Continuous TKI administration, blocking the oncogenic fusion protein Bcr-A

Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a leading cause of graft loss and death after heart transplantation despite effective immunosuppressive therapies. The identification of factors that impair graft vascular barrier function or promote immune cell recruitment during ACR could provide new therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of patients who receive transplants. In 2 ACR cohorts, we found the e

Increasing security in transports without negatively affecting the logistical flow makes efficiency a critical factor. To achieve a viable end-to-end security solution in a supply chain, with complex network of dependencies, requires a holistic perspective. The pilot project was driven by Volvo Technology and it involved important stakeholders in the supply chain and port domain focusing on the PoIncreasing security in transports without negatively affecting the logistical flow makes efficiency a critical factor.

Cases of successful developmental states constrained by democratic institutions pose challenges to the literature on the political economy of late development. On the one hand, the dominant view is that successful developmental states tend to rely on authority-based coordination mechanisms—corporatist arrangements, labor repression, professional bureaucracies insulated from popular pressures—to soCases of successful developmental states constrained by democratic institutions pose challenges to the literature on the political economy of late development.

Interest in human heredity has a long history in Sweden. In the 1920s the Parliament decided on a State institute for race biology and in the 1930s a sterilization legislation that put eugenics into practice was enacted. During the postwar decades both research and the political-medical practices were successively transformed: medical genetics became established and proclaimed as a new research fi

Background: Invasive infections with non-beta-haemolytic streptococci (NBHS) is quite common and presents the clinicians with difficulties regarding which patients are at risk for infective endocarditis (IE). The HANDOC score was developed to identify patients with NBHS bacteraemia who are at low risk of IE. This study was conducted to validate HANDOC in an external cohort. Methods: Patients with

Peel testing is used to study adhesive fracture in packaging material laminates. The focus is on improved understanding of the mechanisms that provide a laminate's adhesive properties, as measured by standard macroscopic tests. Using a specially-designed peel test load rig, peel tests are performed in-situ in a laboratory X-ray tomograph. The peel test results are analyzed using a combination of tPeel testing is used to study adhesive fracture in packaging material laminates.

Remissvaret utgår från utredningens sammanfattning och kommenterar under ett urval av dess rubriker. Under varje rubrik i sammanfattningen ger vi våra syn-punkter.Vi har valt att inte kommentera utredningens enskilda förslag till förändrad lag-stiftning, utan istället kommentera utifrån sammanfattningen av utredningen. An-ledningen är att vi inte anser att utredningen håller en sådan kvalitet att

På uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket har avdelningen för Arbets- ochmiljömedicin vid Lunds Universitet utfört en kunskapsinventering blandlandets kommuner kring luftkvalitén på förskolebarns utemiljöer ocheffekter/strategier för att eventuellt förbättra detta. Denna inventeringgenomfördes under hösten 2018 och början av 2019 och ska ligga till grundför det Hälsorelaterade Miljöövervaknings projektet ”Lu

Our beliefs and opinions are shaped by others, making our social networks crucial in determining what we believe to be true. Sometimes this is for the good because our peers help us form a more accurate opinion. Sometimes it is for the worse because we are led astray. In this context, we address via agent-based computer simulations the extent to which patterns of connectivity within our social net

This study delineates the permissible scope for compulsory mental health interventions under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It was initially triggered by two competing positions within the current debate over the future of coercive psychiatry; a practice that is still omnipresent among states worldwide. According to one position, defended by the CRPD Committee am

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas formed during biological wastewater treatment under aerobic and anoxic conditions. Two reasons for high N2O emissions are low oxygen concentration during nitrification and low carbon/nitrogen-ratio during denitrification. In this full-scale study of N2O emissions from a sequencing batch reactor for treating digester supernatant, the oxygen concentration was

Popular Abstract in Swedish Växters artdiversitet i naturbetesmarker.Effekter av landskapsstruktur och habitathistoria. I min avhandling har jag undersökt växters artdiversitet i fragmenterade naturbetesmarker, av olika ålder och med olika historisk markanvändning. Jag har även undersökt betydelsen av habitatens isolerinsgrad i dagens och i det förflutna landskapet för dagens artdiversitet med häThe thesis examines the impact of present and past landscape structure, habitat history and management on different aspects of present-day plant species diversity in fragmented semi-natural grasslands in Sweden and in Estonia. Species diversity was significantly associated with present and/or past grassland connectivity in the majority of the studies in the thesis. However, relationships between d

Artikeln är en debattartikel på Svenska Dagbladets Brännpunkt. Medborgarnas acceptans för säkerhetsrelaterad övervakning är begränsad. Exempelvis tycker 55 procent av svenskarna inte att det är acceptabelt att FRA samlar in och bearbetar data om internetvanor, skriver forskare från DigiTrust-projektet vid Lunds universitets Pufendorfinstitut.

In 2008 the National Library of Sweden made a decision to change the Swedish classification system SAB to the internationally used Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), a decision that was supported by the Swedish Library Association that recommended all Swedish libraries to make the change. The main reasons and arguments were internationalisation and rationalisation; less time should be laid on cla

The human eye can clearly observe movements as fast as around 0.1 seconds long, but how can we observe the movement that is way too fast for the human eye? For example, you can barely read any labels from a really fast moving formula 1 car. However, if we use a camera which can act faster than the human eye, we can capture the images of the moving object. When a camera takes a picture, it records
