Background and purpose: Patients with focal cartilage lesions experience functional impairment. Results for biological treatments in the middle-aged patient is poor. Previous studies with focal prosthetic inlay resurfacing have shown a higher risk of conversion to total knee replacement at mid-term follow-up. A novel customized implant (Episealer, Episurf, Stockholm, Sweden) has been proposed to i
Lantbruket rankas konsekvent som en av de mest riskfyllda sektorerna i Sverige såväl som i många andra delar av världen. Förutom lidande för den enskilde beräknas dödliga och icke dödliga skador i svenskt lantbruk kosta samhället 2 – 3 miljarder kr per år. I Sverige inträffade det cirka 5 000 olyckor på jordbruksföretag 2004. Detta innebar att minst en olycka inträffade på 8% av svenska gårdar som
In this contribution, a recently conducted measurement campaign in underground subway environments is introduced. The downlink signals in an in-service UMTS network are collected in the subway carriage by using an Universal Software-defined Radio Peripheral (USRP) equipment and used to extract the channel impulse responses (CIRs) between a user equipment and UMTS stations. A high-resolution parame
Background: Sundbyberg municipality (part of greater Stockholm) has reconstructed a traditional two-lane road, with an allowed speed limit of 30 km/h, into a road with one car lane and two bicycle lanes, one on either side of the car lane (a “two minus one road”). The aim was to increase traffic safety and accessibility, especially for bicyclists and pedestrians Method: The design used was a befor
BACKGROUND: Serious illness communication is a key element of high-quality care, but it is difficult to implement in practice. The Serious Illness Care Program (SICP) is a multifaceted intervention that contributes to more, earlier, and better serious illness conversations and improved patient outcomes. This qualitative study examined the organizational and implementation factors that influenced i
Despite the anticipated benefits of smart home technology (SHT) to support older adults' engagement in meaningful activities, barriers to the adoption of SHT have been identified. While research in the field of technology is surging, research on older adults playing an active role in designing and developing SHT to enhance usability is lacking. It is important to co-develop solutions to place olde
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the small intestine (siNET) are slow-growing malignancies often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Despite their indolent nature, patients frequently experience significant symptoms, including carcinoid syndrome (CS) with diarrhoea, which impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This thesis investigates the determinants of HRQoL in siNET patients, its prog
A comprehensive risk analysis makes use of different datasets. Marine incidents data are essentially important datasets. The purpose of this study is to analyse marine incident databases in the BSR (Baltic Sea Region). The marine incident data in the region are inhabited by a wide rage of issues, such as limited data accessibility and availability, and the diversity in data quality, structure, amo
I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 224 svenska fågelarter för olika långa tidsperioder, samt korttidstrender för 12 arter av större däggdjur. Fåglarna har räknats höst, vinter, vår och sommar enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan 1996)men täcker hWe present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, a project run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2022 include data from: 546 winter point counts in 2021/2022 (47th winter), ofwhich 254 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 209 summer point count routes (48th
The use of remote sensing and reanalysis weather data has not been adequately acknowledged for large-scale built environment applications, primarily regarding engineering analyses that traditionally rely on computationally expensive numerical models. This study employs a parsimonious data-driven approach concerning service life assessment of rain-exposed wooden components, enabling mapping and ass
The introduction of PACS in a radiology department means that most functions that are available in the film-based system must be included. One important function is the radiology conference. The handling and application programs of digital workstations are normally not developed for demonstrations of many images in a limited time. This paper describes a workstation with specially designed software
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: We wanted to improve determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with plasma clearance techniques because the alternative-renal clearance techniques-may involve inaccurate urine sampling or risk of urinary tract infection when bladder catheterization becomes necessary. Therefore, we compared the renal and plasma clearances of iohexol and chromium-51-ethylenediam
SUMMARY: When Efexor(R) (venlafaxine) became available in Sweden, a therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) service was developed in the authors' laboratory. This analytical service was available to all physicians in the country. From March 1996, to November 1997, 797 serum concentration analyses of venlafaxine (VEN) and its main metabolites, O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV), N-desmethylvenlafaxine (NDV), a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Aktie- och fondsparandet bland allmänheten har ökat dramatiskt i Sverige under 1990-talet, och allt fler företag har valt börsintroducering som finansieringsform. På så sätt har frågor som rör värdepappersmarknaden fått en ökad och mer allmän relevans, inte minst när det gäller regleringen av vad som är tillåtet och otillåtet att göra på marknaden. Både från statligt håIn this dissertation the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's (FSA) investigation of suspected insider trading offences is examined and analysed. The aim of the study is to describe FSA's investigative activity in insider cases during the 1990?s, a period of both increased activity on the Swedish stock market as well as changed regulation. The study places the investigation of insider offence
Large segments of the rural Timorese population survive on subsistence farming characterized by simple production methods and low output. Broad-based improvements in Timorese living standards require increased agricultural output. This article discusses what determines agricultural development in Timor-Leste and how such development can be achieved. The main causes of low agricultural output is fo
In a north European context, identifying invasive species is far from trivial because the vegetation has been influenced by human activities for thousands of years. New species have immigrated continuously since the end of the last glaciation, both spontaneously and through direct or indirect help by man. Still, newly immigrated species may be problematic in a nature conservation context and may h
Current forest Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiments are reaching completion. Therefore, it is time to define the scientific goals and priorities of future experimental facilities. In this opinion article, we discuss the following three overarching issues (i) What are the most urgent scientific questions and how can they be addressed? (ii) What forest ecosystems should be investigated? (iii)
When developing products, engineering designers often face the problem that their candidate for a technical solution, ranging from a concept to a detailed design, needs to be analyzed by a design analyst before it is approved or rejected and the engineering designer can continue his/her activities within the product development process. If engineering designers have to send every solution candidat
