We present new data for the ∼3.0 Ga Maniitsoq Norite Belt of the Akia Terrane, West Greenland, with the aim of understanding its petrogenesis. The Maniitsoq Norite Belt is hosted in regional tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) and dioritic orthogneisses, intruded by later sheets of TTG and granite pegmatites, and comprises two main rock types: plagioclase-rich “norites” and pyroxene-rich “mel

Background and aims: Microvascular dysfunction underlies many cardiovascular disease conditions; little is known regarding its presence in individuals with high levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequency of microvascular dysfunction among such subjects with and without concomitant familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Methods: Four groups of asympto

Objective: To investigate (i) to what extent physiotherapists (PTs) working in stroke rehabilitation in various parts of the stroke care chain have implemented interventions according to the national guidelines for stroke (NGS), (ii) facilita-ting and hindering factors for the implementation, and (iii) differences between various care settings. Design: A cross-sectional study. Subjects: 148 PTs wo

The population dynamics of urban animals has been so far remarkably understudied. At the same time, urban species’ population trends can provide important information on the consequences of environmental changes in cities. We modelled long-term population trends of 93 bird species breeding in urban areas in 16 European countries as a function of species’ traits, characterising variability in their

PURPOSE: The gold standard for skin cancer diagnosis is surgical excisional biopsy and histopathological examination. Several non-invasive diagnostic techniques exist, although they have not yet translated into clinical use. This is a proof-of-concept study to assess the possibility of imaging an angiosarcoma in the periocular area.METHODS: We use laser speckle, hyperspectral, and photoacoustic im

Molecular targeted therapy using a drug that suppresses the growth and spread of cancer cells via inhibition of a specific protein is a foundation of precision medicine and treatment. High expression of the proto-oncogene Bcl-3 promotes the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells originating from tissues such as the colon, prostate, breast, and skin. The development of novel drugs targeting B

A foreseeable challenge with a substantial increase in railway mode share will be how to uphold punctuality. Higher volumes of train traffic will result in timetables that are more sensitive to disruptions; whose severity and frequency is also expected to increase in light of greater asset utilization and climate change. This calls for a definitive understanding of the relationship between inciden

Syftet med detta arbeta är att bidra med kunskap som kan förebygga dis-kriminering av personer med funktionsnedsättning kopplade till använd-ning av automatiserade beslutsprocesser inom statliga myndigheters ären-dehantering, med fokus på beslutsprocesser på Försäkringskassan. Det finns många risker med helt eller delvis automatiserade beslutsprocesser som kan leda till missgynnande. Det finns åtgThe purpose of this work is to contribute knowledge aimed at preventing dis-crimination against individuals with disabilities. To the use of automated deci-sion-making processes within governmental agencies’ case handling, with a focus on decision-making processes at the Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan). There are numerous risks associated with fully or par-tially automated decision-mak

Participants judged the risk of an infection during a face to face conversation at different interpersonal distances from a SARS-CoV-2 infected person who wore a face mask or not, and in the same questionnaire answered questions about Corona related issues. Keeping a distance to an infected person serves as a protective measure against an infection. When an infected person moves closer, risk of in

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the additional value of global longitudinal strain (GLS) on top of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in long-term risk prediction of combined death and heart failure (HF) re-hospitalization after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Method and results: This retrospective study included patients admitted with ACS between 2008 and 2014 from the three participa

Industry 4.0, with its focus on flexibility and customizability, is pushing in the direction of wireless communication in future smart factories, in particular, massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) and its future evolution of large intelligent surfaces (LIS), which provide more reliable channel quality than previous technologies. At the same time, network slicing in 5G and beyond systems

In this paper, a plasma actuator (PA), treated by the Suzen model, is introduced into film cooling, and four rows of rectangular ribs are employed in internal cooling. Combined action and individual action of film cooling and internal cooling are then investigated at four blowing ratios (M = 0.25; 0.5; 0.75; 1.0). Results show that (no PA, no ribs) the coolant is ejected from the film hole in a sp

Land use allocation (LUA) is of prime importance for the development of urban sustainability and resilience. Since the process of planning and managing land use requires balancing different conflicting social, economic, and environmental factors, it has become a complex and significant issue in urban planning worldwide. LUA is usually regarded as a spatial multi-objective optimization (MOO) proble
