The Search for Strategies to Better Identify Patients With Acute Coronary Occlusion But No ST Elevation Should Not Be Abandoned
Daily Adaptive Proton Therapy : Is it Appropriate to Use Analytical Dose Calculations for Plan Adaption?
Purpose: The accuracy of analytical dose calculations (ADC) and dose uncertainties resulting from anatomical changes are both limiting factors in proton therapy. For the latter, rapid plan adaption is necessary; for the former, Monte Carlo (MC) approaches are increasingly recommended. These, however, are inherently slower than analytical approaches, potentially limiting the ability to rapidly adap
Instrumental variable estimation of dynamic linear panel data models with defactored regressors and a multifactor error structure
Outcome and determinants of failure to complete primary R-CHOP treatment for reasons other than non-response among patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who fail to complete planned treatment with R-CHOP due to toxicity are sparsely described. We investigated the extent of failure to complete treatment (six cycles or more, or three cycles + RT for patients with stage I disease) with R-CHOP for reasons unrelated to non-response, the determinants of such failure and the outcome among these patients
Comparing Self-Reported Sugar Intake With the Sucrose and Fructose Biomarker From Overnight Urine Samples in Relation to Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
Studies on sugar intake and its link to cardiometabolic risk show inconsistent results, partly due to dietary misreporting. Cost-effective and easily measured nutritional biomarkers that can complement dietary data are warranted. Measurement of 24-h urinary sugars is a biomarker of sugar intake, but there are knowledge gaps regarding the use of overnight urine samples. We aim to compare (1) overni
Persistent identification of instrument
Instruments play an essential role in creating research data. Given the importance of instruments and associated metadata to the assessment of data quality and data reuse, globally unique, persistent and resolvable identification of instruments is crucial. The Research Data Alliance Working Group Persistent Identification of Instruments (PIDINST) developed a community-driven solution for persisten
Alcohol Consumption and Risk of Parkinson's Disease : Data from a Large Prospective European Cohort
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) etiology is not well understood. Reported inverse associations with smoking and coffee consumption prompted the investigation of alcohol consumption as a risk factor, for which evidence is inconclusive. Objective: To assess the associations between alcohol consumption and PD risk. Methods: Within NeuroEPIC4PD, a prospective European population-based cohort, 694

Climate change impacts on long-term forest productivity might be driven by species turnover rather than by changes in tree growth
Aim: Climate change impacts forest functioning and services through two inter-related effects. First, it impacts tree growth, with effects, for example, on biomass production. Second, climate change also reshuffles community composition, with further effects on forest functioning. However, the relative importance of these two effects has rarely been studied. Here, we developed a new modelling appr
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support in Children with Hematological Malignancies in Sweden
Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in severe respiratory and/or circulatory failure when conventional critical care fails. Studies on patients with hematological malignancies on ECMO have shown contradictory results; immunosuppression and coagulopathy are relative contraindications to ECMO. Observations: This nationwide Swedish retrospective chart review identified 958

European Task Force on Contact Dermatitis statement on coronavirus 19 disease (COVID-19) outbreak and the risk of adverse cutaneous reactions
Among the basic protective measures against COVID-19, the need to wash hands frequently and in a prolonged way using soap, and to regularly use alcohol-based hand sanitizers is well established for the whole population. Healthcare workers in general, and particularly those involved in the direct care of COVID-19 patients, have to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) daily for many hours and al
Multi target tracking from drones by learning from generalized graph differences
Formulating the multi object tracking problem as a network flow optimization problem is a popular choice. The weights of such network flow problem can be learnt efficiently from training data using a recently introduced concept called Generalized Graph Differences (GGD). This allows a general tracker implementation to be specialized to drone videos by training it on the VisDrone dataset. Two modif
Scaling limits in planar eigenvalue ensembles
In this article I present some of my recent research on scaling limits in two-dimensional eigenvalue ensembles.
Secure ownership transfer for the Internet of Things
With the increasing number of IoT devices deployed, the problem of switching ownership of devices is becoming more apparent. Especially, there is a need for transfer protocols not only addressing a single unit ownership transfer but secure transfer of a complete infrastructure of IoT units including also resource constraint devices. In this paper we present our novel ownership transfer protocol fo
Radially distorted planar motion compatible homographies
Fast and accurate homography estimation is essential to many computer vision applications, including scene degenerate cases and planarity detection. Such cases arise naturally in man-made environments, and failure to handle them will result in poor positioning estimates. Most modern day consumer cameras are affected by some level of radial distortion, which must be compensated for in order to get
After The Bridge? : Adapting Noric Noir Success into a Viable Audiovisual Industry in Southern Sweden
This chapter uses the term adaption in the sense of how a regionally based, popular culture phenomenon has nurtured structural economic transformation. The chapter elaborates a critical examination of the comparative popularity of Nordic noir, asking whether the two long-running film and television crime franchises Wallander (Wallander, (1994–2016) and The Bridge (Bron/Broen, 2011–2018) have been
