Short-term outcomes following beyond total mesorectal excision and reconstruction using myocutaneous flaps : A retrospective cohort study

Introduction: Beyond total mesorectal excision (bTME) offers long-term survival in patients with advanced pelvic malignancy. At Skåne University Hospital (SUS) Malmö in Sweden, the vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (VRAM) and gluteal maximus (GM) flap have been used for perineal reconstruction to promote healing and functional outcomes after significant tissue loss. This study aims to exa

The use of multi-zone modelling for tunnel fire risk analysis

Tunnel fire risk analysis are a useful tool to ensure adequate safety levels in tunnels. This report presents the work conducted to integrate a multi-zone modelling approach into a fire risk assessment tool, called ARTU. This work was performed to improve its fire modelling predictive capabilities compared to the currently adopted 1D fire modelling representation. This is deemed to allow for the u

Historical precedents and feasibility of rapid coal and gas decline required for the 1.5°C target

To limit global warming to 1.5°C, fossil fuel use must rapidly decline, but historical precedents for such large-scale transitions are lacking. Here we identify 147 historical episodes and policy pledges of fossil fuel decline in 105 countries and global regions between 1960 and 2018. We analyze 43 cases in larger systems most relevant to climate scenarios. One-half of 1.5°C-compatible scenarios e

Genetics of type 2 diabetes

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disorder that is affected by multiple genetic and environmental factors. Extensive efforts have been made to identify the disease-affecting genes to better understand the disease pathogenesis, find new targets for clinical therapy, and allow prediction of disease.Content: Our knowledge about the genes involved in disease pathogenesis has increased sub

Evaluation of grain boundary energy, structure and stiffness from phase field crystal simulations

A two-mode phase field crystal (PFC) model is employed to investigate the equilibrium configurations of a range of grain boundaries in fcc-structured materials. A total of 80 different symmetrical tilt grain boundaries are evaluated by PFC simulations in 3D and the results are shown to agree well with data taken from the literature, both regarding the variation of grain boundary energy and also in

Flexibilitet och kontroll: Hur ser användarna på smart laddning?

Elbilar kommer att spela en avgörande roll i omställningen till en fossilfri fordonsflotta. En förutsättning för att nå detta mål är dock att bilarna laddas med förnybar el och att laddningen sker smart för att inte överbelasta elnätet.Med hjälp av uppkopplad teknik och smarta tjänster, så kallad smart laddning, kan laddningen optimeras och bidra till ett mer flexibelt och stabilt elnät. Smart lad

Vitryssland eller Belarus? : Namnskick, långdistansnationalism och identitetspolitik

In 2019, the Swedish government officially switched terminology from using the traditional endogenous term Vitryssland to the exogenous Belarus. Vitryssland (lit: White Russia) had been in use in the Swedish language since the 17th century, and the decision was neither easy nor swift. There was no consensus about the utility of the change, and significant opposition from linguists and editors agai

To what extent has COVID-19 impacted hard-to-reach energy audiences?

Energy users who don’t participate in efficiency and conservation programmes despite ongoing outreach are often referred to as ‘Hard-to-Reach’ (HTR). These individuals or organisations can include, e.g., low income or vulnerable households; renters; and small businesses. More effectively engaging HTR audiences is key to ensuring everyone benefits equitably from low-carbon energy transitions and re

Quantifying Non-Thermal Silicate Weathering Using Ge/Si and Si Isotopes in Rivers Draining the Yellowstone Plateau Volcanic Field, USA

In active volcanic regions, high-temperature chemical reactions in the hydrothermal system consume CO2 sourced from magma or from the deep crust, whereas reactions with silicates at shallow depths mainly consume atmospheric CO2. Numerous studies have quantified the load of dissolved solids in rivers that drain volcanic regions to determine chemical weathering rates and atmospheric CO2 consumption
