Impact of Added Thermal Insulation on Cold Attics in Apartment Buildings in Temperate Climate – A Review

Added insulation in cold attics can be an efficient and profitable energy efficiency measure. Simultaneously, added insulation increases the risk of a decreased temperature in the attic, thereby increasing the risk of high relative humidity and moisture damage. This paper collocates and reviews previous publications that deal with the impact of added insulation on attics as a renovation measure. T

Prevalence and prognostic value of electrocardiographic abnormalities in hypokalemia: A multicenter cohort study

AbstractBackgroundHypokalemia is common in hospitalized patients and associated with ECG abnormalities. The prevalence and prognostic value of ECG abnormalities in hypokalemic patients are, however, not well established.MethodsThe study was a multicentered cohort study, including all ault patients with an ECG and potassium level 100 bpm predicted both mortality and ICU admission among patients wit

Metabolic tumour volume in Hodgkin lymphoma—A comparison between manual and AI-based analysis

Aim: To compare total metabolic tumour volume (tMTV), calculated using two artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools, with manual segmentation by specialists as the reference. Methods: Forty-eight consecutive Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients staged with [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography were included. The median age was 35 years (range: 7–75), 46% female. The t

ML-Enabled Outdoor User Positioning in 5G NR Systems via Uplink SRS Channel Estimates

Cellular user positioning is a promising service provided by Fifth Generation New Radio (5G NR) networks. Besides, Machine Learning (ML) techniques are foreseen to become an integrated part of 5G NR systems improving radio performance and reducing complexity. In this paper, we investigate ML techniques for positioning using 5G NR fingerprints consisting of uplink channel estimates from the physica

Scheduling for Industrial Control Traffic Using Massive MIMO and Large Intelligent Surfaces

Industry 4.0, with its focus on flexibility and customizability, is pushing in the direction of wireless communication in future smart factories, in particular massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), and its future evolution Large Intelligent Surfaces (LIS), which provide more reliable channel quality than previous technologies. As such, there arises the need to perform efficient scheduling

Lost in translation–production, reproduction and transformation of teacher education knowledge in teacher educators’ local practices

European teacher educations today are expected to not only be ‘close to school practices’, but also to equip their students with academic knowledge. This article analyses one year of fieldwork data to discuss how these expectations are produced, reproduced and transformed in local practices by different categories of teacher educators (lecturers/assistant lecturers). The theory of practice archite

Nordic anal cancer (NOAC) group consensus guidelines for risk-adapted delineation of the elective clinical target volume in anal cancer

Background: To date, anal cancer patients are treated with radiotherapy to similar volumes despite a marked difference in risk profile based on tumor location and stage. A more individualized approach to delineation of the elective clinical target volume (CTVe) could potentially provide better oncological outcomes as well as improved quality of life. The aim of the present work was to establish No

Measuring whole body inert gas wash-out

Introduction: Quantifying inert gas wash-out is crucial to understanding the pathophysiology of decompression sickness. In this study, we developed a portable closed-circuit device for measuring inert gas wash-out and validated its precision and accuracy both with and without human subjects. Methods: We developed an exhalate monitor with sensors for volume, temperature, water vapor and oxygen. Ine

A systematic review of differences in outcome between one and two stage palate repair in cleft lip and palate

The aim of this systematic review was to determine whether one-stage palatoplasty for children born with cleft lip and palate shows overall advantages in outcome compared with two-stage palatoplasty. The included studies were controlled studies of syndromic and non-syndromic children born with unilateral cleft lip and palate, bilateral cleft lip and palate, or isolated cleft palate. The interventi

Svar på kommentarer om penningpolitiken

I Ekonomisk Debatt nummer 5 2023 publicerade vi en artikel där vi studeradeorsakerna bakom kronförsvagningen mot euron (Andersson och Jonung2023). Eftersom kronan tappat i värde över en längre tid valde vi ett långsiktigt perspektiv. Här utgick vi från Cassels köpkraftsparitetsteori och visadeatt svenska priser och nominella löner stigit snabbare än i euroområdet. Kronförsvagningen är ett resultat

Clarifying and strengthening the role of law and governance in climate scenario frameworks

Shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs) and shared policy assumptions (SPAs) are lauded as a common basis for climate scenario research across disciplines, yet they lack essential legal and governance elements that are indispensable when assessing future development pathways. This article sets out to address this shortcoming by explaining the interrelated but distinct features of law and governance

Maternal and pregnancy predictive risk factors for having a compensated maternal injury claim : a Swedish nationwide cohort study

To describe trends and identify maternal and pregnancy predictive risk factors for having a compensated claim for a maternal injury during delivery, as a proxy for having received suboptimal care. This nationwide retrospective cohort study included 1 754 869 births in Sweden between 2000 and 2016, including 4488 maternal injury claims filed with The National Swedish Patient Insurance Company (Löf)

Herbivore-shrub interactions influence ecosystem respiration and biogenic volatile organic compound composition in the subarctic

Arctic ecosystems are warming nearly 4 times faster than the global average, which is resulting in plant community shifts and subsequent changes in biogeochemical processes such as gaseous fluxes. Additionally, herbivores shape plant communities and thereby may alter the magnitude and composition of ecosystem respiration and biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions. Here we determine th

Pinpointing change in virtual reality assisted treatment for violent offenders : a pilot study of Virtual Reality Aggression Prevention Training (VRAPT)

Preventing relapse into violence and its destructive consequences among persistent re-offenders is a primary concern in forensic settings. The Risk-Need-Responsivity framework models the best current practice for offender treatment, focused on building skills and changing pro-criminal cognitions. However, treatment effects are often modest, and the forensic context can obstruct the delivery of int

From borophene polymorphs towards a single honeycomb borophane phase : reduction of hexagonal boron layers on Al(111)

The recent interest in characterizing 2D boron polymorphs has led to claims of the first stabilization of a honeycomb phase with conical Dirac-like electron dispersion. However, the synthesis of chemically stable, single, and homogeneous 2D boron phases still represents a significant experimental challenge. This is ascribed to the intrinsic boron electronic configuration that, at variance with car

Lessons learned about openness : EndNote course as an open learning resource

Background: In a workshop about working with the Canvas learning platform, three librarians at Lund University started a project to create a resource for the reference management program EndNote. We started in January 2020 and launched our Canvas course with EndNote X9 in August 2020. In 2021, the entire course was updated to adapt to EndNote 20 and we also added an English version due to request.
