This study evaluates the in-plane shear capacity of timber tongue-and-groove (TG) panels commonly used for roof structures in Nordic countries. Experimental tests, including shear and racking strength assessments, were conducted to investigate the in-plane capacity and the contribution of corrugated fasteners (pins) to structural performance. Racking strength tests demonstrated improved load-beari
Monuments to Joseph Stalin and Felix Dzerzhinsky are constantly increasing in contemporary Russia. However, new monuments to Lenin are no longer being built. From the perspective of today’s strongmen, Stalin and Dzerzhinsky represent strength, war victory and domestic “iron order”. Lenin, on the other hand, is seen as a political adventurer and destabilizer. As a man who, according to Vladimir Put
December 20th is marked in the Russian calendar as a day dedicated to the workers of the "security organs". However, these are not just any "organs" that have security in their job description. In this case, the term “security organs” emphasises exclusively the importance of foundation of political police in the emerging Soviet Russia.On December 20, 1917, the Russian Communist Party established i
Today immunohistochemistry (IHC) stains molecular biomarkers for treatment stratification. IHC can become increasingly objective by improving sensitivity, quantification and multiplexing capabilities. We use upconverting nanoparticles to achieve this, potentially leading to improved treatment outcomes.
Although Russian President Vladimir Putin is the only person who can end the war in Ukraine almost immediately, peace on the “Western Front” that he himself created is not necessarily just his free choice. The question is whether Putin and his circle of power can still afford a ceasefire with a neighboring country that they have plundered and destroyed – and to what extent. The answer is not only
Using data on 119 low- and lower-middle-income countries from 2002 to 2020, we fit fixed-effects (FE) models to evaluate the impacts of three types of official development assistance (ODA) on access to three types of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services: access to skilled birth attendance, access to modern contraceptives and coverage of antiretroviral therapies against HIV/AIDS. The resul
Jämförelse mellan de nordiska ländernas arbetsmarknadsmodeller och analys av vad som är gemensamt och hur detta påverkar skillnader i facklig organisationsgrad och hur denna utvecklats.
AIMS: Although age-related immune deterioration has been implicated as a mechanistic contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD), evidence for an impairment of adaptive immune function in individuals with clinically verified presence of atherosclerosis is lacking.METHODS AND RESULTS: To test the association between atherosclerosis and immune function, we evaluated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine responsiveness
Background and purpose — Backside wear of the polyethylene insert in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been described to produce clinically significant levels of polyethylene debris, which can lead to aseptic loosening and osteolysis. Monoblock design eliminates backside wear of the polyethylene and therefore could improve long-term fixation. This randomized clinical trial (RCT) using radiostereom
