The power of the informal settlements– The case of Dar es SalaamMaria Isabel RasmussenHousing Development & Management – HDMLund University, Swedenmaria.rasmussen@hdm.lth.seAbstractThis paper discusses the importance of the maps in urban planning and the consequences for the cities planned within a non existence of maps context, when the power decision is derived to the dwellers. Although ma
Urban water systems are facing growing challenges, including climate change and aging assets. Digital transformation presents opportunities to address these issues. However, water utilities often encounter barriers such as fragmented initiatives, organizational inertia, and lack of systems interoperability, limiting the scalability and impact of digitalization efforts. This paper presents a strate
Background and aim: Patient activation (PA) and Patient Involvement (PI) are considered elements in good survivorship. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a follow-up supported by electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) on PA and PI. Method: From February 2017 to January 2019, we conducted an explorative interventional study. We included 187 patients followed after intended curative complex sur
Industrial symbiosis, a concept derived from industrial ecology, emphasizes the collaborative and synergic production among industries. The particular focus is on cyclical flows of resources (material, energy, water, and/or by-products), in order to minimize impacts on the environment. In this way, an industry could reuse the discarded resources of another industry as an input to production. Essen
Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) relates to the consumption of coagulation factors and platelets with bleeding and micro thrombosis events.
The atomic and electronic structure of graphene synthesized on commercially available cubic-SiC(001)/Si(001) wafers have been studied by low energy electron microscopy (LEEM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), and angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). LEEM and STM data prove the wafer-scale continuity and uniform thickness of the graphene ove
Calponin (4.1-5.9 microM, pig stomach) inhibited maximal shortening velocity (Vmax) by 20-25% with only minor influence on force in skinned smooth muscle from guinea-pig taenia coli activated at different Ca2+ levels and with thiophosphorylation. Similar results were obtained with a fragment of the N-terminal 1-228 amino acids engineered using a mouse cDNA construct (5.4 microM). Both the native c
In this work, compulations of the air/water flow in a distributor were completed with the FLUENT two-phase VOF model and compared to experiments. The parameters of interest concerned the ratio between the deflected mass flow rate of the water phase to the mass flow rate of the water phase at the inlet called the deflection ratio as well as the recreation of the flow pattern of the different two-ph
En hel del har skrivits om reklamationsplikten vid avtalsbrott. Trots det är rättsläget fortfarande oklart. Reklamationsplikten vid avtalsbrott är dock enbart en del av den inomkontraktuella reklamationsplikten. Högsta domstolen har under senare tid avgjort ett antal mål där en passivitetsprincip skapat en reklamationsplikt trots att det inte förelegat ett avtalsbrott. Högsta domstolen har i KravmA lot has been published about the obligation to notify the breaching party of a breach of contract. Despite that, the legal position is still unclear. The obligation to notify a breaching party of a breach of contract is just one element of the requirement to notify a party in a contractual relationship. The Supreme Court has delivered judgment in several cases in which a passivity principle crea
Companies selling industrial machines are seeing a shift where profits are moving from new sales, towards retrieving revenue throughout the whole customer life cycle. Instead of selling new machines, the companies in the industry need to look towards what is referred to as “the aftermarket”. The aftermarket is the part of the market where spare-parts and maintenance services are sold to existing c
Skin cancer is a growing public health concern due to its prevalence among the population. Current clinical procedures require high invasiveness and multiple surgeries, which are responsible for patient discomfort and high medical expenses. Photoacoustic imaging offers an alternative to standard skin carcinoma diagnosis by exploiting the low scattering rate of ultrasound, which enables deep tissue
Introduction: The directionality of semantic change is problematic in traditional comparative models of language reconstruction. Compared to, e.g., phonological and morphological change, the directions of meaning change over time are potentially endless and difficult to reconstruct. The current paper attempts to reconstruct the mechanisms of lexical meaning change by a quantitative model. We use a
Microhabitat choice has been proposed as a mechanism contributing to the maintenance of colour polymorphism in marine gastropods, based on observed associations between shell colour and microhabitat in certain species (e.g. Littorina saxatilis). To examine this hypothesis, different colour morphs of L. saxatilis were studied following a mark-recapture experimental design to assess whether this spe
Haemophilia A and haemophilia B are congenital X-linked bleeding disorders caused by deficiency of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) and IX (FIX), respectively. The preferred treatment option for patients with haemophilia is replacement therapy. For patients with severe disease, prophylactic replacement of coagulation factor is the treatment of choice; this has been shown to reduce arthropathy signi
There is a strong industrial drive to use cloud computing technologies and concepts for providing timing sensitive services in the networking domain since it would provide the means to share the physical resources among multiple users and thus increase the elasticity and reduce the costs. In this work, we develop a mathematical model for user-stateless virtual network functions forming a forwardin
The standard therapy for patients with haemophilia is prophylactic treatment with replacement factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX). Patients who develop inhibitors against FVIII/FIX face an increased risk of bleeding, and the likelihood of early development of progressive arthropathy, alongside higher treatment-related costs. Bypassing agents can be used to prevent and control bleeding, as well
In a Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmology, the Milky Way accretes satellites into the stellar disc. We use cosmological simulations to assess the frequency of near disc plane and higher inclination accretion events, and collisionless simulations of satellite mergers to quantify the final state of the accreted material and the effect on the thin disc. On average, a Milky Way-sized galaxy has three s
Haemophilia A and B are rare congenital, recessive X-linked disorders caused by lack or deficiency of clotting factor VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX), respectively. The severity of the disease depends on the reduction of levels of FVIII or FIX, which are determined by the type of the causative mutation in the genes encoding the factors (F8 and F9, respectively). The hallmark clinical characteristic, espe
