ESS, the European Spallation Source, will be a major user facility at which researchers from academia and industry will investigate scientific questions using neutron beams. ESS will deliver its protons to a solid, rotating tungsten target, which will in turn generate neutrons. A linear accelerator (Linac) creates protons at the ion source, accelerates them to an appropriate energy and steers them

I detta kunskapsunderlag presenteras Sorsamodellen. Modellen sätter kommunala risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser i centrum. Sociala risker uppmärksammas särskilt. Sorsamodellen åskådliggörs i form av en processkarta. I den illustreras processer, aktiviteter och rutiner. Den ger också illustrerande exempel hämtade från kommuner.Sorsamodellen tar sin utgångspunkt i att socialtjänstens bedömningar av riske

Objective: To calculate costs for the management of deep foot infections and to identify the most important factors related to treatment costs. Design: Costs for in-hospital care, surgery, investigations, antibacterials, visits to the foot-care team, orthopaedic appliances and topical treatment were calculated retrospectively from diagnosis until healing or death. Multiple regression analysis was

Objectives. To compare the correspondence of discharges and diagnoses between medical records and an administrative database in diabetic patients with foot ulcers and to calculate inpatient costs from the different sources. Design. Discharge data from 117 prospectively followed patients were compared with information from the Swedish Inpatient Registry during the same treatment period for each pat

Short-term cultures of two myxoid liposarcomas and two mixed-type (myxoid and round cell) liposarcomas were cytogenetically analyzed. A t(12;16)(q13;p11) was present in three tumors, whereas the fourth had an unbalanced 12;16-translocation with breaks in 12q13 and 12q22, with loss of the 12q13-q22 segment, and in 16p11. In the two mixed liposarcomas, the breakpoints could be determined at subband

Cytogenetic analysis of short‐term cultures from 25 malignant fibrous histiocytomas (MFH) revealed clonal chromosome abnormalities in 17 tumors: ten storiform‐pleomorphic and seven myxoid MFH. Telomeric associations, rings, and dicentric chromosomes were present in 11 tumors and cytogenetic signs of gene amplification (homogeneously staining regions and double minute chromosomes) in four. The brea

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is strongly impaired in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In several mouse models of AD, it was shown that adult-born neurons exhibit reduced survival and altered synaptic integration due to a severe lack of dendritic spines. In the present work, using the APPxPS1 mouse model of AD, we reveal that this reduced number of spines is concomitant of a marked deficit in their neur

We are developing a new technique to apply transition-edge sensors (TESs) to X-ray spectroscopy of exotic atoms, especially of kaonic atoms. To demonstrate the feasibility of this pioneering project, performance of a TES-based X-ray detector was evaluated in pion- and kaon-beam environments at particle accelerators.We successfully observed X-rays from pionic-carbon atoms with a resolution as good

Municipal wastewater treatment commonly involves mechanical, biological and chemical treatment steps to protect humans and the environment from adverse effects. Membrane technology has gained increasing attention as an alternative to conventional wastewater treatment due to increased urbanization. Among the available membrane technologies, microfiltration (MF) and forward osmosis (FO) have been se

Stroke is the leading cause of disability in developed countries and among the major causes of death worldwide. During a stroke, neurons deprived of their normal metabolic substrates cease to function in seconds and show signs of structural damage after only a few minutes which result in the impairment of sensory and motor function. Loss of function after stroke is due to neuronal death and irreve

Under de senaste åren har en doktorand ockuperat den akademiska ledningscentralen och skisserat ett antal renoveringar med mål att förändra premisserna för arbetet med breddad rekrytering av studenter från studieovana hem. Utgångpunkten för renoveringarna är att rikta blicken mot de villkor och strukturer, som ’de studieovana’ möter och istället för att fokusera på hur ’De’ ska anpassas till ’Oss’Over the past few years a Ph.D. student has occupied the academic command centre and sketched a number of renovations in order to change the university’s ongoing work to broaden the recruitment of students from homes with no study habit. The point of departure of the renovations is to direct attention to the terms and structures that people with backgrounds different than the academic norm are sup
