Supporting Change Impact Analysis Using a Recommendation System: An Industrial Case Study in a Safety-Critical Context

Change Impact Analysis (CIA) during software evolution of safety-critical systems is a labor-intensive task. Several authors have proposed tool support for CIA, but very few tools were evaluated in industry. We present a case study on ImpRec, a recommendation System for Software Engineering (RSSE), tailored for CIA at a process automation company. ImpRec builds on assisted tracing, using informati

Mere numbers aren't enough: A plea for Visialization

Quantitative data comes with enormous possibilities for presenting key characteristics of the data in a very compressed form. Basic descriptive statistics, like mean and standard deviation, comprise thousands or millions of data points into single numbers. In contrast, qualitative data, with its focus on descriptions, words, and phrases does not come with such powerful tools, leading to wordy desc

Aggregation behavior of aqueous cellulose nanocrystals : the effect of inorganic salts

Natural anisotropic building-blocks such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their biodegradability and nanometer-size. In this work the colloidal behavior of CNCs, obtained from sulfuric acid hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose, has been studied in presence of salts of different valences. The influence on the colloidal stability and nature of aggrega

Radiotherapy induces an immediate inflammatory reaction in malignant glioma : a clinical microdialysis study

The knowledge of response to radiation in the immuno-microenvironment of high grade gliomas is sparse. In vitro results have indicated an inflammatory response of myeloid cells after irradiation. Therefore, microdialysis was used to verify whether this is operative in tumor tissue and brain adjacent to tumor (BAT) after clinical radiotherapy of patients with high grade glioma. Stereotactic biopsie

Common cancers share familial susceptibility : Implications for cancer genetics and counselling

Background It has been proposed that cancer is more common in some families than in others, but the hypothesis lacks population level support. We use a novel approach by studying any cancers in large threegeneration families and thus are able to find risks even though penetrance is low. Methods Individuals in the nation-wide Swedish Family- Cancer Database were organised in three generations and t

Outcome of the Swedish Nationwide abdominal aortic aneurysm screening program

Background: A general abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening program, targeting 65-year-old men, has gradually been introduced in Sweden since 2006 and reached nationwide coverage in 2015. The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of this program. Methods: Data on the number of invited and examined men, screening-detected AAAs, AAAs operated on, and surgical outcome were retrieved from

Pain Sensitivity and its Relation to Spreading on the body, Intensity, Frequency, and Duration of Pain : A Cross-sectional Population-based Study (SwePain)

OBJECTIVES:: Individuals with chronic pain often report increased pain sensitivity compared to pain free individuals, so it is crucial to determine if and how different pain characteristics influence or interact with pain sensitivity. An alternative to experimental pain sensitivity testing is the self-reported pain sensitivity questionnaire (PSQ), that captures pain sensitivity in various body are

Structural pathology is not related to patientreported pain and function in patients undergoing meniscal surgery

Background The relationship between meniscal tears and other joint pathologies with patient-reported symptoms is not clear. We investigated associations between structural knee pathologies identified at surgery with preoperative knee pain and function in patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscal surgery. Methods This study included 443 patients from the Knee Arthroscopy Cohort Southern Denmark (KA

Nätverk för upptäcksresande studenter tioårsjubilerar

Varje år åker 500 studenter från Lunds Tekniska Högskola och andra europeiska lärosäten över Atlanten för att plugga i Latinamerika och Karibien. Lika många åker åt andra hållet. Utbytet sker inom ramen för nätverket Magalhães – där LTH:s vicerektor Per Warfvinge är ordförande.

Nanoteknik ger snabbare 5G-telefoni

Bättre upplösning på radarbilder och snabbare dataöverföringshastigheter inom 5G-telefoni. Det är några av resultaten som ett nytt forskningsprojekt ska åstadkomma. Projektet går under namnet INSIGHT, är finansierat av EU:s Horizon 2020 och koordineras av Lars-Erik Wernersson, professor i nanoelektronik vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola.

N-terminal prosomatostatin as a risk marker for cardiovascular disease and diabetes in a general population

Context: Somatostatin inhibits a range of hormones, including GH, insulin, and glucagon, but little is known about its role in the development of cardiometabolic disease. Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate whether fasting plasma concentration of N-terminal prosomatostatin (NT-proSST) is associated with the development of diabetes, coronary artery disease (CAD), and mortality.

The association between sleep duration, insulin sensitivity, and β-cell function : The EGIR-RISC study

Context: In the past decade, over 3 dozen studies reported a relationship between self-reported short sleep and disturbed glucose metabolism. A study with insulin sensitivity assessed according to the gold standard hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp is, however, still missing. Objective: To evaluate the cross-sectional association of sleep duration with insulin sensitivity and β-cell function in th

Proposed ICDRG Classification of the Clinical Presentation of Contact Allergy

The International Contact Dermatitis Research Group proposes a classification for the clinical presentation of contact allergy. The classification is based primarily on the mode of clinical presentation. The categories are direct exposure/contact dermatitis, mimicking or exacerbation of preexisting eczema, multifactorial dermatitis including allergic contact dermatitis, by proxy, mimicking angioed
