  2. 16. Methodological aspects on carotid artery intervention

    Author : Magnus Jonsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : carotid artery stenosis;

    Abstract : In Sweden, approximately 25000 patients suffer a cerebral infarction (stroke) annually. Stroke ranks as the third-leading cause of death, and is the leading cause of functional impairment. Carotid artery stenosis accounts for approximately 15% of all strokes and almost all of these are theoretically preventable. READ MORE

  4. 17. Trees to supercapacitors: green energy storage for sustainable future

    Author : Bony Thomas; Kristiina Oksman; Mohini Sain; Milo Shaffer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Trä och bionanokompositer; Wood and Bionanocomposites;

    Abstract : Currently the world is transitioning to a fossil free and circular economy-based development to achieve the environmental and climate objectives along with the sustainable development goals. To achieve this target, efficient use of resource materials is important, which can increase the lifetime and economic value of the resources while decreasing both the extraction of new raw materials and landfill waste.

  5. 18. Chorangiomas : histopthological, clinical and genetic studies

    Author : Meeli Sirotkina; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chorangioma (CA), although, is the most common non-trophoblastic, vascular, tumor-likelesion of the placenta with incidence approximately 0.5-1% of all examined placentas, the specific etiology and genetic background of these lesions is still poorly understood. READ MORE

  6. 19. Assessment and differential diagnosis in childhood apraxia of speech

    Author : Susanne Rex; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction and aims: Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a disorder of speech motor planning and programming affecting the ability to transform the linguistic code into movements needed for intelligible speech. CAS is difficult to differential diagnose from other speech sound disorders (SSDs) and the diagnostic procedure involves many decisions based on outcomes from assessments before arriving at the appropriate diagnosis/es.

  7. 20. Non-metallic inclusions in pipeline steels and their effect on the corrosion resistance

    Author : Elena Sidorova; Andrey Karasev; Pär Jönsson; Lauri Holappa; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pipeline steels; Ca-treatment; non-metallic inclusions; electrolytic extraction; corrosion; chemical extraction; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract :  This thesis focus on investigations of the influence of non-metallic inclusions on corrosion in steel samples taken at different stages of the steel production when producing pipeline steels. The electrolytic extraction technique was used to extract inclusions from these steel samples and thereafter studying them using scanning electron microscopy in combination with energy dispersive microscopy.
