As offshore wind farms continue to grow in scale and number, wake interaction between turbines represents a significant source of power loss and increased fatigue risk. Consequently, there has been an increased interest in wake control strategies. Wake control strategies aim to mitigate these effects but their comparative effectiveness across power, wake velocity and turbulence intensity is not we

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Surgical outcomes in patients with flexible adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) have not been evaluated in large prospective register studies. Calcaneal osteotomy and hindfoot arthrodesis are commonly used. We aimed to compare the results of these 2 procedures using preoperative and 1-year postoperative patient-reported outcome data from the Swedish Quality Register fo

Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka diskussionen kring testamentsregister i Sverige. Den deskriptiva delen av arbetet inriktar sig främst på varför Sverige saknar ett nationellt testamentsregister och vilka argument som har framförts för och emot ett sådant. För att ytterligare belysa frågan behandlas rättsläget för testamentsregister i Danmark och Norge som båda har någon form av testamentsrThe aim of this thesis is to discuss if registration of wills in Sweden would be possible. The descriptive part focuses mainly on why Sweden does not have a national register of wills and the arguments put forward for and against such a register. To further highlight the issue the register of wills in Denmark and Norway will be dealt with. Both of these countries have different forms of testamenta

Towards a New Eldercare? Middle managers reflections on how to create good service within homes for the elderly. [translated title] For the past twenty years there has been a governing trend of efficiency and privatization of the swedish elder care. These trends have put the elder cares very foundation, it’s purpose, in a tremble. Middle managers within the swedish elder care are struggling to

Previous high-risk family designs in psychiatry have focused largely on offspring of affected parents. We take a pedigree-based approach and examine the social, psychological, and psychiatric features of offspring from extended pedigrees selected for high-densities of alcohol use disorder (AUD) or drug abuse (DA). We identified, from the Swedish population, 665,715 pedigrees containing a mean of 1

Introduction: The interaction between different product policies will be crucial for the further advancement of a coherent product policy framework. The Commission has stated that ‘the complex and interlocking approach needed to build a resource-efficient Europe can only be achieved with a policy mix that optimizes synergies and addresses trade-offs between different areas and policies’. In the co

Energy intensive industries are one of the fields in which strong increases of energy efficiency and deep decarbonisation strategies are particularly challenging. Although European energy intensive industries have already achieved significant energy and greenhouse gas reductions in the past, much remains to be done to make a significant contribution to achieving European as well as national climat

Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy is the most common eye complication in patients with diabetes. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic factors contributing to severe diabetic retinopathy. Methods: A genome-wide association approach was applied. In the Genetics of Diabetes Audit and Research in Tayside Scotland (GoDARTS) datasets, cases of severe diabetic retinopathy were defined as type 2 d

Allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) is currently considered the standard of care for patients with specific inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). However, there is a paucity of studies describing long-term survival and cause-specific late mortality after BMT in these patients with individual types of IEM. We studied 273 patients who had survived ≥2 years after allogeneic BMT for IEM perf

Aims: To investigate whether the N-terminal truncated glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) isoform is as well recognized by people with stiff person syndrome as it is by people with Type 1 diabetes, and whether conformational GAD65 antibody epitopes are displayed properly by the isoform. Methods: GAD65 antibody-positive healthy individuals (n=13), people with stiff-person syndrome (n=15) and chi

A low-background inclusive search for new physics in events with same-sign dileptons is presented. The search uses proton-proton collisions corresponding to 20.3 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity taken in 2012 at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Pairs of isolated leptons with the same electric charge and large transverse momenta of the type e(+/-) e(+/-), e(+/-) mu

A search for squarks and gluinos in final states containing high-pT jets, missing transverse momentum and no electrons or muons is presented. The data were recorded in 2012 by the ATLAS experiment in root s = 8 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, with a total integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1). Results are interpreted in a variety of simplified and specific supersymmetry-b

In the context of the emerging bioeconomy, the production and use of biofuels for transport is expanding rapidly around the world. This development presents both exciting opportunities and significant risks. Not least because biofuels are intimately connected to (and impacting on) food, water, climate and economic systems. The implications of different production chains and the international trade

Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used to detect prostate cancer. The low positive predictive value of elevated PSA results in large numbers of unnecessary prostate biopsies. We set out to determine whether a multivariable model including four kallikrein forms ( total, free, and intact PSA, and human kallikrein 2 (hK2)) could predict prostate biopsy outcome in previously unscre
