Blixtar. Svarta prickar, spindelben och dimmoln. Rörliga grumlingar framför ögat och liknade symptom drabbar varje dag många svenskar. Oftast är symptomen helt ofarliga men de kan också tyda på begynnande näthinneavlossning, vilket i värsta fall kan leda till blindhet.Näthinneavlossning börjar i de flesta fall med en s.k glaskroppsavlossning. Detta tillstånd innebär att glaskroppen, den geléartadeBlindness and visual disability are common following vitreoretinal pathologies such as open globe injury, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). These conditions often necessitate surgical intervention using vitrectomy with a tamponading vitreous substitute. However, current tamponades are all associated with complications such as inflammation, cataract, g

In this work, we introduce an antenna placement algorithm for indoor radio networks. The algorithm aims to minimize the number of antennas required to provide sufficient coverage in an area of interest, minimizing the cost of equipment and installation work. The optimization algorithm exploits a semi-deterministic model for the most dominant radio paths. Each path is in turn determined with the A∗

Rising global sea level caused by melting ice sheets poses a major challenge in a persistently warming climate. The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is among the main contributors, and in order to make accurate predictions of future ice retreat and sea level rise, it is imperative to understand how the ice sheet responded to global warming in the past. Reconstructions of relative sea level (RSL) are a k

The aim of this article is to problematize tourism enterprising fishermen ́s understanding of nature. From a discourse-theoretic outlook, I explore how fishermen “know” nature. Here, “knowing nature” is a positioning practice which means that views of nature are uttered and negotiated by people in relation to another person or a group of people. The empirical material that is analyzed was created

Ultrafast manipulations of magnetic phases are eliciting increasing attention from the scientific community because potentially relevant to the understanding of nonequilibrium phase transitions and to novel technologies. Here, we focus on manipulations applied to magnetic impurities in metallic hosts. By considering small nanoring geometries, we show how currents can induce a dynamical switching b

This paper highlights and assesses the importance of the role of economic shrinking for the long-term growth process in the developing world over the period 1951-2016. On the basis of descriptive analysis it shows that resilience to shrinking, even among the miracle economies in Pacific Asia, plays a more important role for successful catching up than economic growth per se. The paper then propose

This article analyses the particular energy transition of the Swedish iron and steel sector (1800- 1939),, a relevant actor in the European context during the nineteenth and twenteenth century. The Swedish iron and steel sector is an interesting case to analyse in the perspective of energy transition and the composition and change of the capital stock (classified by energy technology). An in-depth

Every type of reality belongs to the semiotic realm and this means that every being is in constant need of translation and interpretation. What we mostly translate are signs and that is why this book envisages interpreting the morphotic nature of signs. In spite of Roman Jakobson having outlined the impossibility of full equivalence between code-units, the same theoretician admitted to paraphrasin

Report developed for Tourism Tropical North Queensland in connection with the Newscorp Tourism Innovation Conference held in Cairns, Australia 6 November 2015. The report describes elements of innovation theory and practice, as well as the main themes elaborated in the keynote presentations at the conference.

Innovation is essential in the complex and fluid social environment of tourism; for the practitioner, the essential capability is that of being able to learn and innovate, and to do so often. One must therefore reflect on how present methods of university education might equip tourism students (or indeed students in any social science) to develop the necessary innovation capability so as to meet t

Majoriteten av iranierna i Sverige reser ofta till Iran, vilket gör att de enkelt är måltavlor för den islamiska regimen som kan använda sig av dem för att samla in information om andra iranier i Sverige, skriver Ardavan Khoshnood.The majority of Iranians in Sweden often travel to Iran, making them easy targets for the Islamic regime which can use them to gather information about other Iranians in Sweden, writes Ardavan Khoshnood.

BACKGROUND: Childhood cancer survivors have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes mellitus. Because diabetes is a potentially modifiable risk factor for CVD in the general population, it is important to understand how diabetes affects the risk of CVD among childhood cancer survivors. METHODS: This study examined the risk of CVD among survivors with diabetes and 142,742 pop

This paper elucidates a disciplinary context for an emergent buildingtype dubbed Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU. Today, ADU developmentsadd density to metropolitan Los Angeles by undermining the low densityprinciples of single-family residential zoning. Surfacing withinthe jurisdiction formally known as the City of Los Angeles, the ADUsupplements city planning in the transformation of suburbia. T
