Specific absorbed fractions (SAFs) have been calculated as a function of the content in the urinary bladder in order to allow more realistic calculations of the absorbed dose to the bladder wall. The SAFs were calculated using the urinary bladder anatomy from the ICRP male and female adult reference computational phantoms. The urinary bladder and its content were approximated by a sphere with a wa
Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) have been suggested to have negative effects on a number of hormonal systems. Several studies performed retrospectively have reported a possible association between POP exposure and fertility, measured as time to pregnancy (TTP). However, these studies lack biomarkers of exposure at the time when the women tried to conceive. It has previously been found
Recent developments in European energy policy reveal an increasing interest in implementing the so-called ‘Tradable White Certificate’ (TWC) schemes to improve energy efficiency. Based on three evaluation criteria (cost-effectiveness, environmental effectiveness and distributional equity) this paper analyses the implications of implementing a European-wide TWC scheme targeting the household and co
Existing researches on two-row film cooling mainly focused on double-jet film cooling. However, researches on the effects by combining different kinds of hole shapes on film cooling performance are quite limited. In order to improve the film cooling effectiveness, the three-dimensional numerical method is utilized to investigate the effects of a novel structure composed of two-row holes with diffe
Fertilization is a common approach to increase or sustain soil fertility, but its impact on microbial biomass and community structure remains controversial, particularly in paddy soils. In this study, we investigated the effect of different long-term fertilization strategies, beginning in 1986, namely no fertilization, mineral fertilization, mineral fertilization combined with rice straw or chicke
Purpose In numerous studies vigabatrin medication has been associated with visual field constriction and alterations in the full-field electroretinogram (ff-ERG), but it is not clear whether these changes are reversible or not. The purpose of this study was to examine patients with visual field loss and reduced ff-ERG several years after discontinuing vigabatrin therapy, in order to investigate re
This study explores a bi-isotopic approach to migration, adding δ18O values to samples with 87Sr/86Sr values for 109 individuals from the Iron Age (500 BCE–1050 CE) on the island of Öland, Sweden. Determining a local baseline for 87Sr/86Sr was complicated due to the wide range of variation in faunal samples so we divided the human values into three groups: local, non-local and undetermined. The ad
The dynamics of insulin and chromium release from prelabelled rat pancreatic islet cells were studied by perifusion of cells supported in a column of Bio-Gel P-2 polyacrylamide beads. The column-perifused β cells released insulin in a biphasic pattern in response to 30 mmol/l D-glucose and in a monophasic pattern to 20 mmol/l L-arginine. Rat islet cells, first exposed to a rabbit anti-rat islet c
The production of charm jets in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=7 TeV was measured with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is based on a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 6.23 nb−1, collected using a minimum-bias trigger. Charm jets are identified by the presence of a D0 meson among their constituents. The D0 m
BACKGROUND Marked changes have occurred in in vitro fertilization (IVF) methodology during the past 25 years but also in characteristics of couples undergoing treatment. METHODS This study was based on 27 386 women undergoing IVF treatment from 1982 to 2006 and giving birth to 31 850 infants. Outcomes of deliveries were studied using Swedish health registers. Comparisons were made with all deliver
The objective in this research has been to predict the current and future moisture and temperature distribution in a concrete reactor containment, RC. The overall objective in this project was to create a model to be able to predict the moisture and temperature distribution in the concrete wall of the RC of a Pressurized Water Reactor, PWR. In addition, one objective was to design a model to simul
The reliable detection of neutrons in a harsh gamma-ray environment is an important aspect of establishing non-destructive methods for the characterization of spent nuclear fuel. In this study, we present results from extended in-situ monitoring of detector systems consisting of commercially available components: EJ-426, a 6Li-enriched solid-state scintillator material sensitive to thermal neutron
Hur påverkar klisterprotein epileptiska anfall? Hjärnan är ett fascinerande komplext organ som styr kroppen. För att hjärnan ska kunna skicka signaler använder hjärnan sig utav små budbärare. Dessa budbärare springer från en kontaktpunkt till en annan mellan nervceller och därmed vidarebefordrar meddelandet. Området där de springer mellan nervcellerna kallas för synaptiska klyftor, där vissa proteEpilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by its debilitating epileptic seizures. There are generalized seizures, which affect the whole brain at once, and focal seizures, which start from one part of the brain. The most common focal epilepsy, is temporal lobe epilepsy representing almost 70% of all focal epilepsies. Around 30% of all patients are therapy refractory, therefore there is a h
Föreställ dig att det går att förutse vistelsetid och överlevnad inom 30 dagar för en patient som läggs in på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Dessa mått kunnat bidra till en djupare förståelse för intensivvård. Dessutom hade dörrar öppnats för jämförelse av vårdavdelningar sinsemellan. I det här projektet har intagningsdata till intensivvårdsavdelningar, in- nehållande allt ifrån information om kroppstA large data set, consisting of 300 000 patients’ admission data to various intensive care units in Sweden, acquired from the Swedish Intensive Care Register, was used in this work. The aim was to enable accurate Length of Stay (LOS) and mortality within 30 days predictions by using feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The LOS outcome was predicted as short versus long time stays, with
Bixin is a carotenoid which is extracted from annatto (Bixa orellana). Its main application is as a coloring agent. It consists of conjugating double bonds with a carboxylic end, making it prone to degradation by oxygen, light and heat. This study investigates the light stability of bixin encapsulated with maltodextrin (MD), sucrose and whey by spray drying. MD was added with additives such as car

Utbrottet av den globala pandemin våren 2020, inneburit omvälvande förändringar för i stort sett alla människor och verksamheter. Privilegier som fri rörlighet och mötesfrihet har sedan utbrottet bytts ut mot strikta restriktioner i de flesta länder vilket drivit många branscher in i krisläge och därmed förändringsarbete. Fastighetsbranschen är inget undantag. Sedan folkhälsomyndigheten rekommenSince the outbreak of the pandemic early 2020, the world has experienced disruptive change in many of its foundations. Privileges as free movement, the freedom of assembly and simply being able to go to the movies have been replaced by strict local and national policies, limiting humans and companies. The Covid-19 agenda has forced a lot of businesses into crisis mode with transformation as a cons
