How corporations surveil and influence consumers using big data tools is a major area of research and public debate. However, few studies explore it in relation to physicians in the USA, even though they have been surveilled and targeted by the pharmaceutical industry since at least the 1950s. Indeed, in 2010, concerns about the pharmaceutical industry’s undue influence led to the passing of the P

With the use of ionizing radiation comes the risk of accidents and malevolent misuse. When unplanned exposures occur, there are several methods which can be used to retrospectively reconstruct individual radiation exposures; biological methods include analysis of aberrations and damage of chromosomes and DNA, while physical methods rely on luminescence (TL/OSL) or EPR signals. To ensure the qualit

Processing myoelectrical activity in the forearm has for long been considered a promising framework to allow transradial amputees to control motorized prostheses. In spite of expectations, contemporary muscle-computer interfaces built for this purpose typically fail to satisfy one or more important desiderata, such as accuracy, robustness, and/or naturalness of control, in part due to difficulties

Det finns en tydlig berättelse om hur humaniora marginaliserades i efterkrigstidens Sverige: i ingenjörernas, teknokraternas och samhällsvetarnas land fanns det inget utrymme för bildning, filosofi och historia. Denna bok utmanar en sådan föreställning och visar hur påtagligt närvarande humaniora var i tidens offentlighet. Genom att anlägga ett kunskapshistoriskt perspektiv åskådliggör författarna

De första levande organismerna uppstod på jorden när den funnits i 1,5 miljarder år. Under de följande tre miljarder åren bildades livet på jorden, och existerade i harmoni, med gravitation, kosmisk-strålning, elektriska och magnetiska fält och dess cyklisk-hemlighetsfulla variationer medan exponeringen från den naturlga mikrovågstrålningen var endast i storleksordningen 210-15 W/kg. Det var i deOur team of the clinical researchers in Lund, Sweden, found that electromagnetic radiation, such as those used in mobile communications, even at shallow power values, cause users’ blood albumin to leak through the blood-brain barrier “BBB” into the brain tissue. The BBB is supposed to protect the brain against unwanted and toxic molecules potentially present in the blood, to transfer to the brain

Ice cores are excellent archives for obtaining long and continuous 10Be records. However, traditional ice core 10Be measurements required a lot of ice (0.5–1kg) and often needed to be connected to a large and costly ice core project. These reasons have been the factors limiting the number and variety of 10Be projects and data. In this paper, we show measurements of 10Be on small samples (∼45g) of

Background: The “Managing Fatigue” program can help participants manage fatigue in their everyday lives. The programme has been proven feasible with Swedish occupational therapists, but there is a lack of knowledge of how participants experience the programme.Aim: To describe how Swedish MS participants experience the content and structure of the Swedish MF programme, as well as lessons learned fr

Background: Radical cystectomy for urinary bladder cancer is a procedure associated with a high risk of complications, and poor overall survival (OS) due to both patient and tumour factors. Sarcopenia is one such patient factor. We have developed a fully automated artificial intelligence (AI)-based image analysis tool for segmenting skeletal muscle of the torso and calculating the muscle volume. M

Augmented reality (AR) is disrupting the business landscape. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face challenges capitalising on the potential presented by cutting-edge technologies, such as AR. Business models (BMs) are widely regarded as effective management tools, which help increase competitiveness. This paper aims to develop an augmented reality business model (ARBM), using a case

Background: This study investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reported by previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to be associated with impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance, and/or type 2 diabetes are associated with disposition index, the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and/or development of diabetes following a pregnancy compli

Quality of Life and long-term clinical outcome following robot-assisted radical trachelectomy. Objectives: To evaluate quality of life (QoL) and long-term clinical outcome following robot-assisted radical trachelectomy (RRT). Study Design: Prospectively retrieved clinical data were rereviewed on all women planned for a fertility sparing RRT for early stage cervical cancer at Skåne University Hospi

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is a regulator of the extracellular matrix and is expressed primarily in the cartilage. Recently, COMP expression was also documented in breast cancer patients both in sera and tumor biopsies, in both of which it could serve as an independent prognostic marker. This study aimed to assess COMP as a potential biomarker in the group of metastatic breast canc
