A novel statistical model of the dual pathway atrioventricular node during atrial fibrillation
The atrioventricular (AV) node plays an important role during atrial fibrillation (AF). In particular, the refractoriness of its cells influences the conduction of atrial impulses to the ventricles and, thus, the ventricular response. This study introduces a novel statistical model of the AV node, accounting for pathway switching, which can be used for non-invasive assessment of the refractory pro
Fetal magnetic resonance image denoising based on homogeneity testing and Non Local Means
A novel edge-preserving denoising method for MR images is proposed. Local statistical homogeneity testing is combined with the well-known for structure preserving properties, Non Local Means (NLM) denoising method. The detection of homogeneity reduces remarkably the computational effort required by NLM which is applied only to information-rich image areas. Preliminary qualitative results on fetal

Våldtäkt i Sverige 1990-2013: ett historiskt och intersektionellt perspektiv på berättelser om våldtäkt i olika genrer
We need your story! Autobiographical acts in political campaigns against sexual violence
The paper explores autobiographical narratives of sexual violence in the main solicited, published, and circulated online in relation to various campaigns against sexual violence that in part strives to change the Swedish criminal law on sexual offences. Since 2010, several anti-rape campaigns have used social media platforms for their campaigns and have solicited experiential stories of rape as p
Online Autobiographical Narratives of Sexual Violence
This paper investigates autobiographical narratives of sexual violence published in various online forums. In particular, it investigates narratives published in connection to social movement campaigns aiming to change the Swedish Criminal Law on sexual offences. In Sweden, starting in 2010, major campaigns on sexual violence have used the Internet (and specifically the genres blog and twitter) to
Diabetes : Partners for life
The hormones insulin and glucagon both play important roles in the development of diabetes.
Sternal wound infections following open heart surgery – a review
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common complications after open heart surgery. Fortunately, most are superficial and respond to minor wound debridement and antibiotics. However, 1–3% of patients develop deep sternal wound infections that can be fatal. Late infections with sternocutaneous fistulas, are encountered less often, but represent a complex surgical problem. This evidence-based review
Hematopoietic age at onset of triple-negative breast cancer dictates disease aggressiveness and progression
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered an early onset subtype of breast cancer that carries with it a poorer prognosis in young rather than older women for reasons that remain poorly understood. Hematopoiesis in the bone marrow becomes altered with age and may therefore affect the composition of tumor-infiltrating hematopoietic cells and subsequent tumor progression. In this study, we
Modulation of Hemostatic and Inflammatory Responses by Leptospira Spp
Leptospirosis is a worldwide spread zoonotic and neglected infectious disease of human and veterinary concern that is caused by pathogenic Leptospira species. In severe infections, hemostatic impairments such as coagulation/fibrinolysis dysfunction are frequently observed. These complications often occur when the host response is controlled and/or modulated by the bacterial pathogen. In the presen
Significant association and synergistic adverse prognostic effect of podocalyxin-like protein and epidermal growth factor receptor expression in colorectal cancer
Background: Podocalyxin-like 1 (PODXL) is an anti-adhesive transmembrane protein that has been demonstrated to be an independent factor of poor prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC). The gene encoding PODXL is located to chromosome 7, which also harbours the gene for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The aim of this study was to examine the associations between PODXL and EGFR expression
How Firms Adapt and Interact in Open Source Ecosystems: Analyzing Stakeholder Influence and Collaboration Patterns
[Context and motivation] Ecosystems developed as Open Source Software (OSS) are considered to be highly innovative and reactive to new market trends due to their openness and wide-ranging contributor base. Participation in OSS often implies opening up of the software development process and exposure towards new stakeholders. [Question/Problem] Firms considering to engage in such an environment sho

(Un)Conditional surrender? Why do professionals willingly comply with managerialism
Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to explore the question – why do professionals surrender their autonomy? This paper looks at the case of academics, in particular business school academics. It traces how this group of professionals have progressively surrendered their autonomy and complied with the demands of managerialism. Design/methodology/approach – This largely theoretical paper looks to
A new automatic algorithm for quantification of myocardial infarction imaged by late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance : Experimental validation and comparison to expert delineations in multi-center, multi-vendor patient data
Background: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) using magnitude inversion recovery (IR) or phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) has become clinical standard for assessment of myocardial infarction (MI). However, there is no clinical standard for quantification of MI even though multiple methods have been proposed. Simple thresholds have yielded varying re
The bumpy road to exercising leadership : Fragmentations in meaning and practice
The present study focuses on a manager’s understanding of leadership and how this guides – or does not guide practice. The paper reports an empirical in-depth study of a middle manager in an international manufacturing company. We link our discussion to both – the mainstream leadership studies, which assume that managers have a solid type of leadership behavior, and authors with a meaning-oriented
