BACKGROUND: Current evidence regarding the association of serum zonulin-related proteins (ZRP) levels with prevalent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is contradictory. Moreover, the association with the subsequent risk of incident IBD is still unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association of serum ZRP levels with both prevalent and incident IBD.METHOD: The study included a total of 1

We present a solution for long-term direct current resistivity and time-domain induced polarization (DCIP) monitoring, which consists of a monitoring system and the associated software that automates the data collection and processing. This paper describes the acquisition system that is used for remote data collection and then introduces the routines that have been developed for pre-processing of

Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Transient ElectroMagnetic sounding (TEM) is used for aquifer mapping in Bolivia. The results demonstrate the value of using geophysics in hydrogeological investigations of quaternary deposits, and that the methods are complementary so that the combination is beneficial. ERT produced highly useful results for delineating the aquifer geometry and internal

Objective Deconvolution is an ill-posed inverse problem that tends to yield non-physiological residue functions R(t) indynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI). In this study, the use of Bézier curves is proposedfor obtaining physiologically reasonable residue functions in perfusion MRI.Materials and methods Cubic Bézier curves were employed, ensuring R(0)=1, bounded-in

While striving for more competitive products as well as reaching the Global Sustainable Development Goals, automotive powertrain manufacturers increase the demands on gears, which translates to decreased manufacturing error tolerances. Too tight tolerances may, however, counteract the goal if it leads to increased material and energy consumption due to unjustified scrapping. This paper presents a

Det pågår förändringar i våra kyrkor. Krav och behov på användande av gudstjänstrum leder till ändringar och ibland omfattande omgestaltningar. Föreliggande rapport är ett resultat av en studie som fokuserar påförändringsprocesser kopplade till sittmöbler i Svenska kyrkan, närmare bestämt bänkar och stolar avsedda för församlingen. Våra exempel är hämtade från nyligen genomförda eller pågående sit

INTRODUCTION: A reliable electrocardiographic predictor of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is lacking so far. Previous experimental/simulation study suggested a terminal T-wave inversion (TTWI) in ischemia-related ECG leads corresponding to anterior infarct localization as an independent predictor of reperfusion VF (rVF). This T-wave charac

Klassiker är ett komplext fenomen. Dynamiskt och svårfångat. Artikeln undersöker hur en modern möbelklassiker skapas Begreppet kan laddas med värden av både immateriell och materiell karaktär. Auraproduktion fyller möbeln med innehåll och stärker den som objekt, vilket gör det till ett operativt och flitigt använt epitet inom både kommersiell och kulturell verksamhet. I artikeln lyfts exempel på p
