This presentation aims to discuss aspects of the fitting room situation from two theoretical perspectives; communities of practice and the ambiguity of touch (touching, being touched). The theoretical frame is intertwined with reflections form my own practice as designer/maker/educator/researcher and from discussions/interviews with colleagues and students from different disciplines at The Danish
Cisplatin is one of the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of various solid neoplasms, including testicular, lung, ovarian, head and neck, and bladder cancers. Unfortunately, the therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin against colorectal cancer is poor. Various mechanisms appear to contribute to cisplatin resistance in cancer cells, including reduced drug accumulation, enhanced drug detoxificati
Carbon dynamics within trees are intrinsically important for physiological functioning, inparticular growth and survival, as well as ecological interactions on multiple timescales.Thus, these internal dynamics play a key role in the global carbon cycle by determiningthe residence time of carbon in forests via allocation to different tissues and pools, suchas leaves, wood, storage, and exudates. De
The cutback was widely used in advanced gas turbines to protect the trailing edge. The land was a main structure in the cutback region. Therefore, the present study describes a numerical investigation on the film cooling performance in the cutback region with various land shapes (straight- expanding land, arch- expanding land, contracting- expanding land and campaniform land) and blowing ratios (0
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a grave disease with an incidence of 4 per 100,000 a year. It can present in all ages, but the median age is 70 years. One-third of such patients have secondary AML, that is, AML following chemoradiotherapy or a transformation from previous myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or myeloproliferative neoplasia. A combination of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors
OBJECTIVE: To describe data completeness, targeting and reliability of the Swedish version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure Self-Report (s-SCIM-SR). DESIGN: Translation and reliability study. SUBJECTS: Programme participants (n = 48) and peer mentors (n = 42) with spinal cord injury enrolled in the INTERnational Project for the Evaluation of "activE Rehabilitation" (inter-PEER). METHODS: Th
Bees are typically diurnal but around 1% of described species have nocturnal activity. Nocturnal bees are still poorly studied due to bias towards studying diurnal insects. However, knowledge concerning their biology and role as crop pollinators has increased. We review the literature on nocturnal bees’ traits and their host plants, and assess the crop pollination effectiveness of this neglected g
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of two of the most important functional CYP1A2 variations -3860G > A and -163C > A on carbamazepine pharmacokinetics in Serbian pediatric epileptic patients.METHODS: The study involved 40 Serbian pediatric epileptic patients on steady-state carbamazepine treatment. Genotyping for -3860G > A and -163C > A was carried out using PCR-RFLP
The aim of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) ‘Work and Technology on Human Terms’ was to be a modern, highly accessible study material in Ergonomics/Work science to contribute to safer and healthier workplaces. The course targets engineering students, but also students in economics, human relations, physiotherapy, occupational health, as well as professionals. The purpose of this paper is to d
Although border politics have been given much theoretical attention in recent years, empirical studies of identity construction among border police officers are less common. In 2014, a two-year collaborative project partly funded by the EU was initiated in order to increase international collaboration between border police officers in the Baltic Sea area. The participating organizations were borde
The purpose of this study was to describe family care routines and to explore environmental factors when patients die in Swedish intensive care units (ICUs). The main research questions were: what are the physical environmental circumstances and facilities when caring for patients in end‐of‐life and are there any routines or guidelines when caring for dying patients and their families? A questionn
Background: People with psychiatric disabilities often struggle with maintaining a satisfying occupational balance. Knowledge about factors of relevance for occupational balance in this group is therefore vital for improving their support.Aim: The aim was to describe perceptions of occupational balance among people with psychiatric disabilities living in supported housing (SH) or in own flat/house
The aim of this study was to describe the performance of a closed loop interstitial laser thermotherapy system in processed liver and to demonstrate its suitability for treating a vascularized tumour in vivo. The thermotherapy system consisted of an Nd:YAG laser and a temperature feedback circuit including an automatic thermometry system and thermistor probes. Experiments in processed liver were p
Aim: To describe the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register (SNQ) and to determine its completeness and agreement with other registers. Methods: SNQ collects data for infants admitted to neonatal units during the first four postnatal weeks. Completeness and registers’ agreement were determined cross-linking SNQ data with Swedish population registers (the Inpatient, Medical Birth and Cause of Death Regi
Växtätare kan påverka ekosystemprocesser, dels genom långsiktiga förändringar av växtsamhällets sammansättning, men också på kortare sikt genom derasmatspjälkning av organiskt material som cyklas genom markens nedbryderorganismer och tillbaka till de primära producenterna. Särskilt störreväxtätare har studerats i stor utsträckning, men i vissa ekosystem som skogar kan de mindre ryggradslösa växtätHerbivory can influence ecosystem processes, partly through long-term changes of the plant community compositions, but also more rapidly through the herbivores’ digestive alteration of the organic matter that is cycled through the soil and back to the primary producers. In the Subarctic mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii) forest (SMBF) in Northern Fennoscandia, outbreaks by the geo
The ability to predict cross-shore profile response to coastal overwash is important for both understanding how barrier islands respond to overwash and for disaster management on developed coastlines. This study establishes morphologic and hydrodynamic parameters for predicting the type of cross-shore profile response following overwash for given pre-storm profile and storm conditions. More than 5
Despite the recent success of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), approximately 2-17% of patients develop clonal cytogenetic changes in the Philadelphia-negative (Ph(-)) cell population. A fraction of these patients, in particular those displaying trisomy 8 or monosomy 7, are at risk of developing a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid l
