Objectives: In India, cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women and makes up for up to 29% of all registered cancer in females. Cancer-related pain is one of the major distressing symptoms for all cancer patients. Pain is characterised as somatic or neuropathic, and the total pain experience is often mixed. Conventional opioids are the backbone of analgesic treatment but are most often

This work explores the use of reinforcement learning to design a proactive cloud resource auto-scaler that is able to predict usage across a distributed microservice application. The focus is on serving time-sensitive workloads, e.g., industrial automation, connected XR/VR (eXtended Reality/Virtual Reality), etc., where each job has a deadline and there is some cost associated with missing a deadl

Many lines of evidence suggest that the Parkinson’s disease (PD)-related protein α-synuclein (α-SYN) can propagate from cell to cell in a prion-like manner. However, the cellular mechanisms behind the spreading remain elusive. Here, we show that human astrocytes derived from embryonic stem cells actively transfer aggregated α-SYN to nearby astrocytes via direct contact and tunneling nanotubes (TNT

Aim: The primary objective of this study was to describe demographics and end-of-life treatments of children with cancer at a government tertiary cancer center in India. Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of medical charts of all children younger than 18 years, who died as inpatients while undergoing treatment at the pediatric oncology department between April and September 2016.

Background and aims: PPARGC1A encodes PGC-1α (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α), a central regulator of energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. A common polymorphism in PPARGC1A (rs8192678, C/T, Gly482Ser) has been associated with obesity and related metabolic disorders, but no published functional studies have investigated direct allele-specific effects in adipoc

Breathlessness is common in the general population. Existing data were obtained primarily with the uni-dimensional modified Medical Research Council breathlessness scale (mMRC) that does not assess intensities of unpleasantness nor physical, emotional and affective dimensions. The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence and intensity of these dimensions of breathlessness in elderly ma

Modern well-insulated and highly glazed buildings experience increased overheating, even in cold climates. The study focused on external and internal passive solar shadings on a south-oriented façade, having predetermined that external and internal shadings’ main function is solar heat gain and glare protection, respectively. A daytime-occupied office space with several external shading geometry v

Additive manufacturing (AM), which was first applied for rapid prototyping, is now becoming a real option for small-batch production of final products. Further expansion of AM is closely correlated to production costs. AM can only become competitive to traditional manufacturing methods if a product is designed for AM already from the beginning as it is an expensive technology that should only be a

Skogar täcker ca 31% av jordens landyta och lagrar stora mängder kol i biomassa och i marken. I klimatavtalet från Paris 2015 lyfts skogars roll som sänkor och reservoarer av kol fram och undertecknande länder uppmanas att implementera strategier för hållbart skogsbruk som ytterligare förstärker skogars roll som sänkor av växthusgaser. Ett aktivt skogsbruk påverkar klimat och miljö på många olika

This thesis examines how learning is depicted in policy documents for public libraries on municipal and national level in Sweden. The documents analyzed are library plans from five Swedish cities, as well as the proposal for a national strategy presented in 2019 by the National Library of Sweden. The method used is Carol Bacchi’s What’s the problem represented to be-approach. Pierre Bourdieu’s the

ar. Enorma framsteg har gjorts de senaste decennierna i neonatalvården (vård för nyfödda barn) och omkring 80% av EPT-barn i Sverige överlever. Dessa framsteg innefattar bl.a. administrering av kortison för att påskynda lungmognaden, modern teknisk utrustning, bättre kunskaper om neonatala sjukdomar m.m. Globalt är överlevnaden av EPT-barn lägre i länder med sämre ekonomiska förutsättningar och däAim: To evaluate a pipeline for automatic MRI brain segmentation and volumetric tissue structure quantification in a cohort of extremely preterm infants. Methods: 13 extremely preterm neonates underwent MRI-scanning at a term equivalent age. Seven of these subjects had suitable MRI sequences and were analyzed in the pipeline. Segmentation of MRI brain images into brain tissue types and parcellati

This study investigates online material published in reaction to a Science magazine report showing the absence of peer-review and editorial processes in a set of fee-charging open access journals in Biology. Quantitative and qualitative textual analyses are combined to map conceptual relations in these reactions; and to explore how understandings of scholarly communication and publishing relate to

The extent to which in-situ global mechanical tensioning (GMT) can be used to modify the residual stress state in friction stir (FS) welds is investigated in this article. Residual stress distributions have been determined by synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction for four sets of FS welds in high-strength AA7449-W51 and lithium containing AA2199-T8 aerospace aluminum alloys subjected to a syst

Denna uppsats undersöker införandet av jury i Sverige under 1800-talets första hälft. Jury infördes i tryckfrihetsmål år 1815 men aldrig i allmän domstol. Hur det sistnämnda gick till tenderar att infogas i en större forsk-ningsdiskussion om de så kallade kodifikationsstriderna mellan liberala aktörer och den tyska historiska skolans företrädare under 1800-talets första årtionden. Detta betyder inThis thesis examines the implementation of juries in Sweden during the first half of the eighteenth century. Juries were implemented in cases regarding breaches of the press law in 1815, but never in general courts. How the latter came to be tends to be inserted into a larger discussion regarding the so-called codification battles between liberal actors and representatives of the German historical

When a country liberalizes trade through lowering taxes on imports, it stands before a number of challenges. Recovering lost trade tax revenue is one of them. Cape Verde is one of the countries that are currently negotiating an Economic Partnership Agreement with the EU and studies predict that the tariff reductions resulting from the agreement may have a severe impact on Cape Verde’s government r
