Popular Abstract in English Consumption of multimedia content is one of the main tasks we perform in our day-to- day lives, such as listening to music on an iPod or watching the news from an online steaming service. As technology has evolved and enabled easier access to different content (basically access anything anywhere), our consumption has grown. In only the last decades we have evolved from Multimedia has become one of the cornerstones of our 21st century society and, when combined with mobility, has enabled a tremendous evolution of our society. However, joining these two concepts introduces many technical challenges. These range from having sufficient performance for handling multimedia content to having the battery stamina for acceptable mobile usage. When taking a projection of w

Purpose. To create a retina consisting mainly of photoreceptors for future use as donor tissue in retinal transplantation. Methods. Fetal full-thickness neuroretinas from Sprague Dawley rats 17 (E17) or 20 (E20) days post conception were placed in culture for 7 or 14 days. Explants and age-matched control retinas were examined by light microscopy and with a panel of immunohistochemical markers lab

Background:Dilatation of cranial vessels has been proposed as a part of the cascade that initiates an episode of migraine. This is based on the observation that intravenous administration of several substances with vasodilator properties can trigger migraine-like symptoms in migraineurs.Methods:We used in vitro myography of human cerebral arteries and in vitro pressurized arteriography of rat midd

Mechanical load through physical activity has been shown to be one of the best stimuli to increase the bone strength. This effect of mechanical load accounts for both the accrual of bone mineral and structural skeletal adaptations. Exercise prescription also includes a "window of opportunity" in the late pre- and early peri-pubertal period, where exercise is supposed to insert the most obvious ben

Genom EU-rätten och Sveriges konventioner om social trygghet ingår Försäkringskassan och andra svenska socialförsäkringsorgan i internationella administrativa samarbetsstrukturer. I dessa utbyts uppgifter om enskilda i fråga om exempelvis namn, familjeförhållanden och hälsotillstånd. I artikeln undersöks hur Försäkringskassan ska delta i sådant informationsutbyte och samtidigt tillämpa den svenska

A matched case-referent study was conducted to investigate the risk of gastrointestinal cancer in cement workers. All male cases of cancer in esophagus, stomach, colon and rectum in the period 1922-1988 from two parishes surrounding a cement plant were identified. For each case, four referents were chosen, matched to age and year of death. Employment in the cement plant was confirmed as from plant

Limited data exist on surgical providers and their scope of practice in low-income countries (LICs). The aim of this study was to assess the distribution and productivity of all surgical providers in an LIC, and to evaluate correlations between the surgical workforce availability, productivity, rates, and volume of surgery at the district and hospital levels.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utveckling av nya industriella produkter sker allt oftare med hjälp av datormodeller. Dessa modeller beskriver fysiken för respektive produkt, vilket exempelvis kan vara en bil eller ett kraftverk. Med hjälp av modellerna kan en stor del av analyserna på de framtida produkterna ske med hjälp av datorer, varför färre prototyper behöver konstrueras, vilket medför kortare Simulation of coupled dynamical systems, where the subsystems are bundled with their own internal solver, is important in industry. This is due to that in many cases, with complex systems, this is the only viable option. In this setting, the dynamics of each system is hidden and information between subsystems is exchanged through sampled inputs and outputs, a weakly coupled system. While a new ind

The issue of word stress has not been the subject of any detailed analysis in traditional works on Romanian. It is generally assumed that stress is not predictable. The generalizations that have been made concerning stress placement are, however, made on the basis of observations of surface forms. Mallinson 1987:300 says that “stress is free and variable, giving rise to doublets: m'odele ‘the fash

BACKGROUND: Refugee women have a high risk of coronary heart disease with low physical activity as one possible mediator. Furthermore, cultural and environmental barriers to increasing physical activity have been demonstrated. The aim of the study was to evaluate the combined effect of an approximate 6-month primary health care- and community-based exercise intervention versus an individual writte
