Ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation among alternatives for fertility preservation in the Nordic countries – compilation of 20 years of multicenter experience
Introduction: The aim of this study is to report the current status of ovarian tissue cryopreservation among alternatives for fertility preservation in the Nordic countries. Material and methods: A questionnaire was sent to 14 Nordic academic reproductive centers with established fertility preservation programs. It covered fertility preservation cases performed up to December 2014, standard proced
Finite strain topology optimization based on phase-field regularization
In this paper the topology optimization problem is solved in a finite strain setting using a polyconvex hyperelastic material. Since finite strains is considered the definition of the stiffness is not unique. In the present contribution, the objective of the optimization is minimization of the end-displacement for a given amount of material. The problem is regularized using the phase-field approac
Comparator report on patient access to cancer medicines in Europe revisited
In a new report, the Swedish Institute for Health Economics (IHE) compares the cancer situation in EU28 plus Norway and Switzerland. The report builds on a previous comparative study conducted in 2005 and provides a comprehensive view of the development of cancer in Europe over the past two decades. The report shows that the number of people diagnosed with cancer continue to increase in Europe, up

Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology – nutritional epidemiology (STROBE-nut) : An extension of the STROBE statement
Concerns have been raised about the quality of reporting in nutritional epidemiology. Research reporting guidelines such as the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement can improve quality of reporting in observational studies. Herein, we propose recommendations for reporting nutritional epidemiology and dietary assessment research by extending the ST
Atmospheric circulation patterns associated with the variability of River Ammer floods : Evidence from observed and proxy data
The relationship between the frequency of River Ammer floods (southern Germany) and atmospheric circulation variability is investigated based on observational Ammer River discharge data back to 1926 and a flood layer time series from varved sediments of the downstream Lake Ammer for the pre-instrumental period back to 1766. A composite analysis reveals that, at synoptic timescales, observed River
Data Descriptor : High-resolution African population projections from radiative forcing and socio-economic models, 2000 to 2100
For its fifth assessment report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change divided future scenario projections (2005-2100) into two groups: Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs) and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). Each SSP has country-level urban and rural population projections, while the RCPs are based on radiative forcing caused by greenhouse gases, aerosols and associated land-use c
Calculations of automatic chamber flux measurements of methane and carbon dioxide using short time series of concentrations
The closed chamber technique is widely used to measure the exchange of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from terrestrial ecosystems. There is, however, large uncertainty about which model should be used to calculate the gas flux from the measured gas concentrations. Due to experimental uncertainties the simple linear regression model (first-order polynomial) is often applied, even though the
Localisation of secretory leucocyte proteinase inhibitor mRNA in nasal mucosa
Human secretory leucocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI) is a low-molecular weight, acid-stable inhibitor of polymorphnuclear granulocyte elastase and cathepsin G. Previous reports have demonstrated the existence of SLPI in the respiratory tract, salivary glands and cervical mucosa. Positive staining for SLPI using immunohistochemical techniques has been reported in serous glands in nasal mucosa. We

The ecology of animal senses : Matched filters for economical sensing
The collection of chapters in this book present the concept of matched filters: Response characteristics “matching” the characteristics of crucially important sensory inputs, which allows detection of vital sensory stimuli while sensory inputs not necessary for the survival of the animal tend to be filtered out, or sacrificed. The individual contributions discuss that the evolution of sensing syst

Gestural representation of event structure in dyadic interaction
What are the underlying motivations for the conceptualization of events? Recent studies show that when people are asked to use nonverbal gestures to describe transitive events they prefer the semantic order Agent-Patient-Act, analogous to SOV in grammatical terms. The original explanation has been that this pattern reflects a cognitively “natural order” for the conceptualization of events. However
Making Place for Social Norms in the Design of Human-Robot Interaction
We argue that social robots should be designed to behave similarly to humans, and furthermore that social norms constitute the core of human interaction. Whether robots can be designed to behave in human-like ways turns on whether they can be designed to organize and coordinate their behavior with others’ social expectations. We suggest that social norms regulate interaction in real time, whereage
Risk factor changes and incident atrial fibrillation among middle-aged men in the Malmö Preventive Project cohort
Aims: To determine whether risk factor changes over 6 years were associated with the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF)among middle-aged men in the Malmo ̈ Preventive Project (MPP) cohort.Methods and results: In total, 5633 men (mean age 47.0 years at baseline) underwent two screening examinations, separated by an average of6 years. The annual rate at which systolic blood pressure (SBP), diasto
