Seismic Structural Health Monitoring (S2HM) provides information about the integrity of civil structures and infrastructure in the aftermath of an earthquake. However, quantifying the benefits of S2HM information is crucial to justify the investment in S2HM systems. The benefit of S2HM can be computed through the Value of Information (VoI) from Bayesian decision theory, which compares the expected

Two different sum rules for transmission of the coherent electromagnetic fieldby a particulate slab are established. The particles are assumed sphericaland randomly located, and the slab is illuminated by a plane wave at normalincidence. These sum rules are obtained assuming the particles are passivescatterers, and satisfy energy conservation and causality conditions. The sumrules are then employe

PURPOSE: There is uncertainty whether ER-low tumors with a 1-10% immunohistochemical staining of nuclei represent a distinct molecular biological entity of BC, posing significant challenges for their clinical management and developing novel therapies. We aimed to elucidate ER-low tumor biology.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We analyzed primary tumors included in a Swedish population-based SCAN-B BC cohort,

Årets Arena Idé-rapport om den svenska modellen och organisations-graden hos fack, arbetsgivare och a-kassor innehåller de senaste medlemsuppgifterna för samtliga fackförbund inklusive förbunden utanför LO, TCO och Saco. Det gäller antalet yrkesaktiva medlemmar vid årsskiftet 2024/2025. Även medlemsutvecklingen i PTK och OFR redovisas avseende de medlemmar som räknas till respektive förhandlingsor

Early cathedrals in Lund and DalbyThe aim of the article is to present and critically re-evaluate the written end material sources concerning the early cathedrals of Lund and Dalby in Scania, former medieval Denmark and now part of Sweden. The main questions are where and when did exist cathedrals in Scania in the 11th Century, how were their architecture, how can they be dated, and why were there

Sveriges Regering fattade den 9 april 2015 beslut om en ny förordning medbestämmelser om riktvärden för buller utomhus för spårtrafik, vägar ochflygplatser vid bostadsbyggnader. Förordningen (2015:216) om trafikbullervid bostadsbyggnader träder i kraft den 1 juni 2015. I denna förordning finnsförändrade riktvärden för bullerexponering vid bostader som tillåter betydligtmer buller än tidigare, någo

We take a logical approach to threshold models , used to study the diffusion of e.g. new technologies or behaviors in social net-works. In short, threshold models consist of a network graph of agents connected by a social relationship and a threshold to adopt a possibly cascading behavior. Agents adopt new behavior when the proportion of their neighbors who have already adopted it meets the thresh

Background/objectives: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare malignancy, with an indolent course in the early stages of the disease. However, due to major molecular and clinical heterogeneity, patients at an advanced stage of the disease have variable responses to treatment and considerably reduced life expectancy. Today, there is a lack of specific markers for the progression from early to advanced st

We construct tradable risk factors using combinations of large and liquid mutual funds (long leg) and ETFs (exchange-traded funds) (long and short legs), based on their holdings, for both retail and institutional investors. Exploiting a novel dataset, our tradable factors take into account ETF shorting costs. Assessing the performance of our tradable factors against standard “on-paper” factors, we

A people-centred approach for designing large-scale built-up spaces necessitates systematic anticipation of user’s embodied visuo-locomotive experience from the viewpoint of human-environment interaction factors pertaining to aspects such as navigation, wayfinding, usability. In this context, we develop a behaviour-based visuo-locomotive complexity model that functions as a key correlate of cognit

The age-specific incidence of traumatic brain injury in older adults is rising in high-income countries, mainly due to an increase in the incidence of falls. The severity of traumatic brain injury in older adults can be underestimated because of a delay in the development of mass effect and symptoms of intracranial haemorrhage. Management and rehabilitation in older adults must consider comorbidit

We present the artillery of a well-preserved late medieval Danish-Norwegian carvel warship, Gribshunden. Probably built in the Netherlands in 1484, the ship served King Hans until sinking in June 1495. Of its original 50 or more guns, elements of 11 have been recovered and digitally recreated, and more remain on the wreck. Investigation of this site provides insights into the development of shipboWe present the artillery of a well-preserved late medieval Danish-Norwegian carvel warship, Gribshunden.

The individual wishes and priorities of patients with advanced disease are too often neglected, making a deck of cards with statements reflecting potential wishes and priorities a useful conversation tool. However, in the most ill patients, the card selection and sorting process may be too strenuous. The aims of this study were to explore the wishes and priorities of patients receiving palliative

Background: Anoxic brain injury is the primary cause of death after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and prognostication is challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of two fragments of tau as serum biomarkers for neurological outcome. Methods: Single-center sub-study of 171 patients included in the Target Temperature Management (TTM) Trial randomly a
