Introduction: The Assessment of Learning Powered mobility use (ALP) tool including the ALP instrument and facilitating strategies, was developed for Driving to Learn. This therapeutic intervention aims to provide children and adults who have profound cognitive disabilities with opportunities to learn tool use through powered mobility practise. To allow for longer intervention periods, a partnershi

Whether the E.U. Trade Secrets Directive sufficiently and appropriately covers cutting-edge complex technologies is of critical interest to policy-makers, scientists, and commercial developers alike. One such technology—adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing, or AIRR-seq—raises difficult questions concerning what information is and should be protected under the new Directive, and how to be

Background Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) affects mostly women in childbearing age. Modern management of SLE patients has improved the pregnancy outcomes over the last decades. However, there is still an increased risk of maternal, fetal and neonatal complications. In this longitudinal follow-up of pregnant women affected by SLE, we aimed to investigate which clinical and immunological feature

Background: Evidence for the effect of minimal acupuncture in infants with colic is limited. Aim: To compare the effect of standardized minimal acupuncture, individualized acupuncture (where traditional acupuncture points were chosen according to the infant’s symptoms) and no acupuncture on objective measures of stooling, feeding and sleeping in infants with colic (based on diaries) and perceived

Objective: To determine the independent impact of different definitions of remission and low disease activity (LDA) on damage accrual. Methods: Patients with ≥2 annual assessments from a longitudinal multinational inception lupus cohort were studied. Five mutually exclusive disease activity states were defined: remission off-treatment: clinical Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (

Although the involvement of the tumor suppressor gene p53 in normal hematopoiesis is uncertain, it can give rise to differentiation signals in leukemic cells. It is not clear, however, whether differentiation merely is a consequence of the ability of p53 to arrest cell proliferation or whether hitherto unknown molecular mechanisms are responsible for the p53-mediated differentiation. To further ex

This PhD project balances an interest in social work and its prospects for deliv-ering emancipation or relief from stigma, etc. through motivational agency, on the one hand, with an attentiveness to recent developments in Scandinavian criminal policy, on the other. In my attempts at »bridging« these interests I have come to focus on offender rehabilitation. In this short paper I shall present the

This work aims at clarifying the fundamental mechanisms of non-equilibrium alternating current gliding arc discharge (GAD) by investigating effects of gas compositions and pressures on the GAD characteristics with electrical and optical methods. Interestingly, the glow-to-spark transition was found by adding O2 or CH4 into the argon or modulating the power supply. This transition occurs attributed

Popular Abstract in Swedish Aneurysm är ett sjukdomstillstånd som är känt sedan ca 2000 år före vår tideräkning, och bukaortaaneurysm (bråck på stora kroppspulsådern i buken) beskrivs i publikationer från 1500-talet. På 1800-talet försökte man sig på att behandla med ligering, tyvärr med dåligt resultat, och först på 1920-talet beskrivs den första lyckade ligeringen. Behandling med graftrekonstrukThe incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is increasing. The risk of rupture is related to diameter. However, rupture may occur also in small AAA. To evaluate the size of an aneurysm when related to the predicted normal aortic diameter might be a better predictor of risk. AAA:s, range 40-55 mm were studied in relation to gender. No difference in AAA diameter was found. However, body surfac

Scope: To explore the effect of a healthy Nordic diet on the global transcriptome profile in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of subjects with metabolic syndrome. Methods and results: Subjects with metabolic syndrome undergo a 18/24 week randomized intervention study comparing an isocaloric healthy Nordic diet with an average habitual Nordic diet served as control (SYSDIET study).
