Context: Uncertainty is an unavoidable issue in software engineering and an important area of investigation. This paper studies the impact of uncertainty on total duration (i.e., make-span) for implementing all features in operational release planning. Objective: The uncertainty factors under investigation are: (1) the number of new features arriving during release construction, (2) the estimated

PURPOSE: Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, pHPT, present with milder symptoms than previously. Some, but not all studies, suggest that this change in clinical pattern also implies lower preoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) and/or calcium levels and smaller adenomas. This is important since reports indicate that smaller adenomas are more difficult to detect on preoperative imaging, possi

Controlled resistive loads can contribute to damping of electro-mechanical oscillations. This paper presents an on-off damping controller for a single machine system. It was used at a field test in southern Sweden to damp oscillations of a 0.9 MW hydro power generator. The controller used estimated machine frequency as input and controlled a 20 kW resistive load via thyristor switches. The field m

PURPOSE: To identify factors associated with arthroscopically diagnosed scaphoid fracture displacement and instability. METHODS: This was a secondary use of data from 2 prospective cohort studies. The studies included 58 consecutive adult patients with a scaphoid fracture who elected arthroscopy-assisted operative fracture treatment: some for displacement, some as part of a prospective protoco

Aim: Several studies have addressed the association between changes in the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone levels and changes in parameters of periodontitis. In order to understand how these hormones affect periodontal health it is of major importance to obtain information on their physiological importance. We have previously shown that periodontal ligament cells (PDL cells) express

We encounter multimodality every day: in the newspapers, journals, ads, posters, story books, text books, leaflets, encyclopedias, instruction books, computer interfaces and in our interactions. Multimodality has been studied within many different disciplines: semiotics/sociosemiotics, textlinguistics, interface design, and human-computer-interaction. Yet, the approaches in the research of multimo

The purpose of this study was to investigate lifetime prevalence and characteristics of self-reported child sexual abuse and associations between child sexual abuse, gender, sociodemographic data, and consensual sexual experiences. A questionnaire was completed by 4,339 Swedish high school seniors. Three categories of child sexual abuse were studied: noncontact, contact without penetration, and pe
