The novel human papillomavirus type 154 (HPV154) was characterized from a wart on the crena ani of a three-year-old boy. It was previously designated as the putative HPV type FADI3 by sequencing of a subgenomic FAP amplicon. We obtained the complete genome by combined methods including rolling circle amplification (RCA), genome walking through an adapted method for detection of integrated papillom
Popular Abstract in Swedish Inledning/introduktion: Öppen rekonstruktion av aorta innebär en påtaglig risk för postoperativa komplikationer och dödlighet, särskilt i den äldre befolkningen och i dem som är mindre lämpliga för en sådan stor operation. Endovaskulär aorta kirurgi förefaller säker, hållbar och effektiv när det finns tillräcklig proximal och distal tätningszon för en stentgraft. FenestIntroduction: Open repair of the aorta carries a high risk for morbidity and mortality especially in the elderly population and in patients unfit for major surgery. Endovascular aortic repair is safe, durable and effective when there is adequate proximal and distal sealing zone for the aortic stent graft. Fenestrated and branched stent grafts have made the repair possible for complex but elective
We used dynamic sorption balance measurements to evaluate the diffusivity for cement pastes with three different binders (OPC, OPC + 70% slag, OPC + 10% silica fume). The diffusion of water vapor in cement based materials is normally assumed to follow Fick's law of diffusion, but our results clearly show that Ficles law cannot completely describe the sorption process in our materials. In this pape
Significant changes in the climatic system have been observed, which may be attributed to human-enhanced greenhouse effect. Even stronger changes are projected for the future, impacting in an increasing way on human activity sectors. The present contribution, prepared in the framework of the MICE (Modelling the Impact of Climate Extremes) Project of the European Union, reviews how climate change m
Background: Family members of older persons (75+) with multi-morbidity are likely to benefit from utilising case management services performed by case managers. However, research has not yet explored their experiences of case managers. Objectives: The aim of the study was to deepen the understanding of the importance of case managers to family members of older persons (75+) with multi-morbidity. D
Alcohol-free microemulsions were formulated using mixtures of extended surfactant (C12-14-PO14-EO2SO4Na), sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid and cationic hydrotropes with equal amounts of water and diesel. The cationic hydrotropes had short hydrocarbon or propylene oxide chain. The formulation included sodium carbonate to convert naphthenic acids in diesel to soaps. The phase behavior at ambient
Popular Abstract in English Disaster risk management has seen the importance of coordination at various levels of planning and implementation, ranging from preparedness to disaster response, and in planning for long term recovery and sustainable development. There is a need to develop a deeper and analytical understanding of stakeholder coordination for disaster recovery. The thesis is based on caDisaster risk management has seen the importance of coordination at various levels of planning and implementation, ranging from preparedness to disaster response, and in planning for long term recovery and sustainable development. This thesis aims to develop a deeper and analytical understanding of stakeholder coordination for disaster recovery. The thesis is built on case studies from the mega –d
BACKGROUND: Obstructed labour is still a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in Uganda, where many women give birth at home alone or assisted by non-skilled birth attendants. Little is known of how the community view obstructed labour, and what actions they take in cases where this complication occurs. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to explore community members
In the field of lighting and daylighting, standard monitoring procedures to assess the overall performance of retrofit projects are scarce. Nevertheless the access to monitored data is crucial to assess whether daylighting or electric lighting systems deliver the expected performance in terms of cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency. In order to bridge this gap, a monitoring protocol is under d
Popular Abstract in Swedish Elektromagnetiska fält finns idag överallt och är en förutsättning för att det moderna samhället ska fungera. Utan att fundera närmare på det, använder vi oss ständigt av de elektromagnetiska fältens förmåga att trådlöst överföra information och energi. Några exempel är; uppvärmning av mat i mikron och på induktionshällen, samtal i mobiltelefonen, uppdatering av status In this thesis, an inverse source reconstruction method with great potential in radome diagnostics is presented. A radome is a cover that encloses an antenna in order to protect it from environmental influences. Radome diagnostics are acquired in the design process, the delivery control, and in performance verification of repaired and newly developed radomes. A measured near or far field may indic
In this work, we discuss the statistical mechanics of many-body systems consisting of electrically charged microgels, and we show that their collective behavior is determined by an interplay between the screened electrostatic and the elastic contributions to their effective interaction potential. The former is derived by means of a statistical-mechanical approach due to Denton [A. R. Denton, Phys.
Objective The purpose of this study was to explore licensed practical nurses (LPNs) views of being exposed to secondhand smoke in municipal home nursing care. Design and sample Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through three focus group interviews with 15 LPNs, smokers, and nonsmokers. Qualitative content analysis was used to interpret the interview text. Results Exposure to second
Effects of the addition of a cationic amino acid-based synthetic amphiphile, arginine N-lauroyl amide dihydrochloride (ALA), to a lipid-based transfection formulation have been investigated. It is shown that the inclusion of ALA results in a substantial enhancement of the transfection capability of lipoplexes prepared with liposomes of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine and chol
The basic concept of conditionally replicating adenoviruses (CRAD) as oncolytic agents is that progenies generated from each round of infection will disperse, infect and kill new cancer cells. However, CRAD has only inhibited, but not eradicated tumor growth in xenograft tumor therapy, and CRAD therapy has had only marginal clinical benefit to cancer patients. Here, we found that CRAD propagation
This paper concerns the Cesàro operator acting on various spaces of analytic functions on the unit disc. The remarkable fact that this operator is subnormal when acting on the Hardy space H2 has lead to extensive studies of its spectral picture on other spaces of this type. We present some of the methods that have been used to obtain information about the spectrum of the Cesàro operator acting on
Trimeric soluble forms of HIV gp140 envelope glycoproteins represent one of the closest molecular structures compared to native spikes present on intact virus particles. Trimeric soluble gp140 have been generated by several groups and such molecules have been shown to induce antibodies with neutralizing activity against homologous and heterologous viruses. In the present study, we generated a reco
Abstract in German Für die Verbreitung in Ausser-Schartauschen Kreisen war es von Bedeutung, dass Roos von Anfang an nicht nur als der von Henric Schartau geförderte Verfasser von Andachtsbüchern bekannt wurde, sondern dass er schon vor Schartau als Autor von biblischen Einführungen und sogenannten Gesprächsbüchern bekannt war und respektiert wurde. Für die Wertschätzung seiner Meinung und seiner
