Gentrification—Gentle or Traumatic? Urban Renewal Policies and Socioeconomic Transformations in Copenhagen

This article contrasts the intentions and outcomes of the publicly instigated and supported urban renewal of Copenhagen’s Inner Vesterbro district. Apart from physically upgrading the decaying buildings, the municipality’s aim was to include the inhabitants in the urban renewal process and, seemingly, to prevent the dislocation of people from the neighbourhood. However, due to ambiguous policies,

Total and Differential Leukocyte Counts in Relation to Incidence of Diabetes Mellitus: A Prospective Population-Based Cohort Study.

OBJECTIVE: High concentrations of leukocytes in blood have been associated with diabetes mellitus. This prospective study aimed to explore whether total and differential leukocyte counts are associated with incidence of diabetes. A missense variant R262W in the SH2B3 (SH2B adaptor protein 3) gene, coding for a protein that negatively regulates hematopoietic cell proliferation, was also studied in

EU-domstolens nya rättegångsregler

En kort presentation av de rättegångsregler för EU-domstolen som trädde i kraft den 1 november 2012. Artikeln behandlar företrädesvis uppdateringen av den interna organisationen, förutsättningarna för kortare handläggningstider och de tydligare kraven på nationella domstolar. I artikeln ifrågasätts även huruvida de nya reglerna skappar förutsättningar för mer eller mindre öppenhet.

Highly Scalable Implementation of a Robust MMSE Channel Estimator for OFDM Multi-Standard Environment

Abstract in UndeterminedIn this paper a VLSI implementation of a highly scalable MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Estimator) is presented with the ultimate goal of demonstrating the potential of MMSE as enabler for multi-standard channel estimation. By selecting an appropriate implementation, a complexity reduction of 98% is achieved when compared to Time-Domain Maximum Likelihood Estimation (TDMLE), whe

Magnetic and Magneto-Transport Characterization of (Ga,Mn)(Bi,As) Epitaxial Layers

High-quality layers of the (Ga,Mn)(Bi,As) quaternary compound semiconductor have been grown by the low-temperature molecular-beam epitaxy technique. An effect of Si incorporation into the (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnetic semiconductor and the post-growth annealing treatment of the layers have been investigated through examination of their magnetic and magneto-transport properties. Significant enhancement o

Electrophysiological Assessment of Retinal Function During 6 Months of Bevacizumab Treatment in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the alteration of retinal function by multifocal electroretinography and full-field electroretinography in patients with age-related macular degeneration treated with bevacizumab. Methods: We performed a prospective pilot study of 26 eyes of 26 previously treatment-naive patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration receiving intravitre

Hemodynamic Aging as the Consequence of Structural Changes Associated with Early Vascular Aging (EVA).

An increase in peripheral vascular resistance at rest is not routinely observed in healthy older persons, but often associated with increased stiffness of central elastic arteries, as hallmarks of aging effects on the vasculature, referred to as early vascular aging (EVA). In clinical practice, the increased arterial stiffness translates into increased brachial and central systolic blood pressure

Silver and palladium help unveil the nature of a second r-process

Context. The rapid neutron-capture process, which created about half of the heaviest elements in the solar system, is believed to have been unique. Many recent studies have shown that this uniqueness is not true for the formation of lighter elements, in particular those in the atomic number range 38 < Z < 48. Among these, palladium (Pd) and especially silver (Ag) are expected to be key indicators

Effect of Branch Stent Choice on Branch-related Outcomes in Complex Aortic Repair.

OBJECTIVES: The use of branched stent grafts for the treatment of thoracoabdominal aneurysms [TAAA] is increasing, but mating stent graft choice has not been studied. This study combined experience of five high volume centres to assess a preferred mating stent. METHODS: Data from five centres were retrospectively combined. Patients were included if they underwent stent graft for treatment of TAA

Vesicle and bilayer formation of diphytanoylphosphatidylcholine (DPhPC) and diphytanoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPhPE) mixtures and their bilayers' electrical stability

Lipid bilayers are of interest in applications where a cell membrane mimicking environment is desired. The performance of the lipid bilayer is largely dependent on the physical and chemical properties of the component lipids. Lipid bilayers consisting of phytanoyl lipids have proven to be appropriate choices since they exhibit high mechanical and chemical stability. In addition, such bilayers have

How to evaluate performance of prediction methods? Measures and their interpretation in variation effect analysis

Background: Prediction methods are increasingly used in biosciences to forecast diverse features and characteristics. Binary two-state classifiers are the most common applications. They are usually based on machine learning approaches. For the end user it is often problematic to evaluate the true performance and applicability of computational tools as some knowledge about computer science and stat

Effects of VINNOVA Programmes on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises - the cases of Forska&Väx and VINN NU

This is the first impact analysis that exclusively deals with R&D funding taking place after the foundation of VINNOVA. Since the long-term effects of R&D projects are visible only years after the ending of the projects the analysis deals with impacts expected to be found in a shorter time span. The focus of the present impact analysis is to identify and analyze the presence and strength o

Influence of Viscosity Ratio on the Mixing Process in a Static Mixer: Numerical Study

The mixing process in a Lightnin Series 45 static mixer, 40 mm in diameter, has been investigated using computational fluid dynamics and the volume of fluid (VOF) method, a method developed for immiscible fluids but here used for miscible. The mixing process was investigated for two liquids that had viscosities ranging from 0.003 to 51.2 Pa s, and the volumetric flow rate proportion between the li

The construction and controlling effect of a moral brand

This paper explores the control effect of a moral brand through its brand culture. The moral brand culture distinguishes itself from other brand cultures by drawing on external claims for legitimacy. In this case, the brand drew upon a strong brand community, moral narratives in society, and the participative engagement with its values by many employees. As a consequence of these multiple and ofte
