Objective: To investigate the risk of stillbirth or neonatal death before 45 post-menstrual weeks in relation to gestational duration, stratified by body mass index (BMI) and parity. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Data from the Swedish Medical Birth Register. Population: Singleton, cephalic births at between 39+0 and 42+2 weeks of gestation, 2005–2016 (n = 892 339). Methods: Relative risk r

Background: The occupation-based intervention Balancing Everyday Life (BEL) was found effective under controlled conditions but should also be studied in a natural clinical practice context. Aim: The aim was to study the implementation process of BEL when provided in a multi-professional mental health team. The focus was particularly on how BEL was received and functioned. Methods: This qualitativ

To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the European continent. Multilinear regression models tested on this snapshot of mostly eutrophic lakes (median total phosphorus [TP] = 0.06 and total nitrogen [TN] = 0.7 mg L−1), and its subsets (2

SAMHD1 is a deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase (dNTPase) that restricts viral replication in infected cells and limits the sensitivity to cytarabine by hydrolysing its active metabolite, as recently shown in acute myeloid leukemia. Cytarabine is an essential component in the Nordic mantle cell lymphoma protocols (MCL2 and MCL3) for induction and high-dose chemotherapy treatment befor

Currently, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severely influences physiotherapy education which is based mostly on face-to-face teaching. Thus, educators have been compelled to adapt their pedagogical approaches moving to digital education. In this commentary, we debate on digital education highlighting its effectiveness, the users’ perspectives, and its weakness in the context of physiothera

Aims/hypothesis: Galectin-1 modulates inflammation and angiogenesis, and cross-sectional studies indicate that galectin-1 may be a uniting factor between obesity, type 2 diabetes and kidney function. We examined whether circulating galectin-1 can predict incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes in a middle-aged population, and if Mendelian randomisation (MR) can provide eviden

Recently, a measurement campaign for characterizing time-variant radio channels in city-canyon environments was conducted along a 2-km-long pedestrian shopping street in Shanghai. A passive sounding approach was adopted where a software-defined-radio platform is used as a receiver (Rx) to record downlink signals transmitted by base stations (BSs) in an in-service Universal Mobile Telecommunication

Recently, a measurement campaign for characterizing the channels in underground subway environments was conducted in Shanghai, China. Downlink signals transmitted by 46 universal mobile telecommunication system cells deployed along a 34-km-long subway were collected. Channel impulse responses are extracted from the data received in the common pilot channels, based on which parameters of multipath

In this contribution, a measurement campaign for high- speed-train (HST) channel is introduced where the down- link signals of in-service Long Time Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) network deployed along the HST railway between Beijing to Shanghai are acquired. Channel impulse responses (CIRs) are extracted from received signals, and concatenated power delay profiles (CPDPs) are illustrated. According t

In this paper, a measurement campaign in high-speed-train (HST) environments is introduced where the downlink signals of an in-service Universal Mobile Terrestrial System (UMTS) deployed along a HST railway between Beijing and Shanghai were required by a single receiving antenna. Channel Impulse Responses (CIRs) are extracted from the data received in Common PIlot CHannels (CPICHs). The train spee

In this paper, a recently conducted measurement campaign for High-Speed-Train (HST) channels is introduced where the down-link signals of in-service Long Time Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) networks deployed along a HST railway between Beijing to Shanghai were acquired. The channel impulse responses (CIRs) are extracted from the received Cell-specific Reference Signals (CRSs). The results show that, m

In this contribution, a recently conducted measurement campaign in underground subway environments is introduced. The downlink signals in an in-service UMTS network are collected in the subway carriage by using an Universal Software-defined Radio Peripheral (USRP) equipment and used to extract the channel impulse responses (CIRs) between a user equipment and UMTS stations. A high-resolution parame

Cellular-connected unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have recently attracted a surge of interest in both academia and industry. Understanding the air-to-ground (A2G) propagation channels is essential to enable reliable and/or high-throughput communications for UAVs and protect the ground user equipments (UEs). In this contribution, a recently conducted measurement campaign for the A2G channels is in

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in military and civilian fields in the recent years. In order to give support to the vast amount of added value services, UAV communications have become a hot spot for the fifth generation (5G) and have a very broad development prospect. In this paper, based on the channel modeling results obtained by actual measurements, we evaluate the end-to

During the last few years, with the decrease of their sizes and costs, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) became more feasible for their use in general-purpose applications. As an important basis for UAV applications, the Air-to-Ground (A2G) radio propagation channel has gained attention in the channel modeling literature. However, whereas the A2G propagation channel is inherently dynamic (time-varyi

We propose a multivariate log-normal distribution to jointly model received power, mean delay, and root mean square (rms) delay spread of wideband radio channels, referred to as the standardized temporal moments. The model is validated using experimental data collected from five different measurement campaigns (four indoor scenarios and one outdoor scenario). We observe that the received power, th

Due to the decrease in cost, size, and weight, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming more and more popular for general-purpose civil and commercial applications. Provision of communication services to UAVs both for user data and control messaging by using off-the-shelf terrestrial cellular deployments introduces several technical challenges. In this article, an approach to the air-to-ground

This paper investigates the wideband channel characteristics obtained in a classroom and a hall indoor scenarios at 2-4, 9-11 and 27-29GHz. A virtual uniform circular array (UCA) based channel sounding system was utilized to capture wideband spatial channel characteristics. The propagation parameters of multipath components (MPCs) were estimated by using a high resolution parameter estimation (HRP
