Objectives: Antibodies against anti-CD74 are related to axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The objectives were (i) to study IgA anti-CD74 in radiographic (r)-axSpA patients in the Backbone cohort and to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of anti-CD74, (ii) to study the fluctuation of IgA anti-CD74 levels in prospectively collected samples, and (iii) to explore the relation between IgA anti-CD

Introduction: Depression and anxiety disorders affect individuals' everyday lives, and treatments that can help them to perform everyday occupations are needed. Occupational therapy for this group has been evaluated from a short-term perspective but not from a long-term perspective; further research is thus warranted. The aim of the study was to investigate the longitudinal outcomes of the Tree Th

Nickel-based superalloys are known to be difficult to machine. These alloys are generally machined with cemented carbide tools under low productivity process conditions. Superhard polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) tooling offers the possibility of increased production rates, however, a thorough understanding of the material performance and degradation is required before a transition from

Studies of tree species effects on soils have revealed a significant impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and the carbon (C) distribution between forest floor and mineral soil, but the underlying mechanisms including the roles of litter traits, soil properties, and microbiome remain unclear. To address this challenge, we tested the effect of six common European tree species on the quality an

Purpose: Although both relaxation and diffusion imaging are sensitive to tissue microstructure, studies have reported limited sensitivity and robustness of using relaxation or conventional diffusion alone to characterize tissue microstructure. Recently, it has been shown that tensor-valued diffusion encoding and joint relaxation-diffusion quantification enable more reliable quantification of compa

Trading commodities has been around for centuries, and today, most trading is done electronically on exchanges in derivatives contracts. Over time, regulatory bodies, specifically the CFTC, have sought to implement safeguards against market manipulation by participants. One such measure has been position limits on derivatives, which since January 1st, 2023, also includes so-called economically equ

Förbättring av plasmidtransfektion till celler är av yttersta vikt vid forskning och behandling av sjukdomar baserat på genetiska tillvägagångssätt. Utvecklingen av omfattande, säkra, effektiva och skalbara metoder att införa genetiskt material i celler utgör en teknisk utmanande uppgift. Sonoporering, där trycket från ultraljudvågor orsakar perforering i cellmembranet, vilket möjliggör transfektiImproving plasmid transfection into cells is crucial in genetic disease research and treatment. The development of comprehensive, safe, effective, and scalable methods for introducing genetic material into cells poses a technically challenging task. Sonoporation, which utilizes pressure from ultrasonic waves to induce perforations in the cell membrane, enabling transfection, is an evolving method

This report is written during a Master Thesis carried out at Volvo Aero Corporation, VAC, in relation with the Division of Production and Materials Engineering at Lund Institute of Technology. The purpose with this report is to get a better insight in some of the problems occurring during the manufacturing of a space nozzle. At VAC a new kind of nozzle wall design has been introduced for their sp

I långa vita korridorer med oräkneliga antal lysrör finns en värld som byggs upp av mjuka ting som läkare och sjuksköterskor, men även mer och mer hårda ting - teknik. Vad händer när bryggan mellan de mjuka och hårda tingen inte byggs med dem båda i åtanke? WHO beskriver att nästan ett av tio fel som sker med medicinsk teknik beror på användaren. Dessa fel skulle kunna undvikas om system designadeAs incidences of chronic diseases increase, the tools to diagnose, treat and monitor such conditions become more important. Medical imaging technologies, being one of these tools, still face challenges in safe and effective use. At the same time, poor design of medical devices causes errors that could be avoided using proper design methods. The master thesis is written in collaboration with Bild

In recent years, microwave applications in the food products have attracted increasing attention by the food packaging industry and the consumers due to their convenience, low energy and water usage and short processing time giving them a sustainable advantage over competing technologies. In-pack pasteurization represents one of the fastest developing technologies in preparing and delivering safe

Cancer överkommer kroppens immunförsvar och andra tumör-bekämpande system, bland annat genom att öka eller minska uttrycket av vissa gener. Gener som är viktiga för cell-cykelprogressionen är ofta påverkade. Till exempel är genen wee1 ofta överuttryckt i cancer. wee1s funktion är att koda för ett protein som förhindrar att cellen fortsätter i cellcykeln om den har trasigt DNA. Ett förslag på canceIn this study the yeast S. pombe is used to try to find genes which can (potentially in the future) be targeted in cancer cells to stop the cells from growing. WEE1 is a kinase important for proper cell-cycle progression, as it inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases activity. It is overexpressed in many cancers and many studies are being done researching how WEE1 inhibitors can be used as a cancer trea

This thesis is trying to identify and give solutions for the problems occurring in polyurethane sport surfaces in Iraq where the climate is extremely warm and dusty. One of the most important problems (called the ‘maintenance’ problem) is that the polyurethane sport surface looks very dirty because of the dust, a couple of weeks after installation of the surface the dust particles penetrates the s

Machine learning methods have a groundbreaking impact in many application domains, but their application on real robotic platforms is still limited. Despite the many challenges associated with combining machine learning technology with robotics, robot learning remains one of the most promising directions for enhancing the capabilities of robots. When deploying learning-based approaches on real rob

Although outcomes for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) have been incrementally improved over the last decades, management of relapsed and refractory (R/R) AML remains a medical challenge. A curative intent for R/R AML usually involves chemotherapy (with or without targeted therapy) with subsequent consolidation, including allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Despite th

Deep learning has advanced flood forecasting through its strong nonlinear modeling capabilities. However, accuracy declines and robustness remain insufficient at longer forecast lead times. Therefore, an evolutionary deep learning model for flood forecasting was developed by integrating time-varying filter-based empirical mode decomposition (TVFEMD), sample entropy-based signal reconstruction (SE)

Parkinsons sjukdom förknippas ofta med rörelsesymtom, som skakningar, stelhet och långsammare rörelser. Sjukdomen kan dock också påverka talet. Rösten kan bli svagare, mindre varierad eller mindre stabil, och uttalet kan bli svårare att kontrollera. Eftersom tal är enkelt att spela in och inte kräver några invasiva undersökningar är det intressant att undersöka om tal kan användas som en källa tilSpeech has become an increasingly important source of non-invasive information for Parkinson's disease detection, but much existing work still relies on sustained vowels. This thesis investigates whether carefully represented continuous speech can provide added predictive value over a strong sustained-vowel benchmark. Using the NeuroVoz corpus, sustained-vowel recordings were first used to est

BackgroundLow concentrations of serum selenium (Se) and its main transporter selenoprotein P (SELENOP) are associated with a poor prognosis following breast cancer diagnosis. Recently, natural autoantibodies (aAb) with antagonistic properties to SELENOP uptake have been identified in healthy subjects, and in patients with thyroid disease. Given the potential transport disrupting properties, we hyp

En större mängd kvartsavslag och brända ben, upptäckta vid rekognosering (Norrbottens Museum) av hyggesberedda ytor norr om byn Sammakko, c. 40 km SO Gällivare, har tolkats att indikera ett kortvarigt använt boplatsområde.
