  2. 1. Short-term and Long-term Exposure to Air pollution and Stroke risk

    Author : Anna Oudin; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Long-term effects; Two-phase methods; Hemorrhagic stroke; Ischemic stroke; Short-term effects; Hospital admissions; Air Pollution;

    Abstract : Background: Stroke is a major cause of mortality and morbidity across the world. Air pollution has become an acknowledged risk factor for stroke, especially for acute effects. There is less support for effects by chronic exposure due to the methodological challenges inherent in such studies. READ MORE

  4. 2. Enhancing Short-Term Traffic Prediction for Large-Scale Transport Networks by Spatio-Temporal Clustering

    Author : Matej Cebecauer; Erik Jenelius; Wilco Burghout; Francisco Camara Pereira; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; short-term prediction; clustering; spatio-temporal clustering; day-types; speed-flow relationship; large-scale; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Abstract : Congestion in large cities is responsible for extra travel time, noise, air pollution, CO2 emissions, and more. Transport is one of the main recognized contributors to global warming and climate change, which is getting increasing attention from authorities and societies around the world. READ MORE

  5. 3. Highway Traffic State Estimation and Short-term Prediction

    Author : Andreas Allström; Jan Lundgren; Clas Rydergren; Balázs Adam Kulcsár; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Traffic congestion is increasing in almost all large cities, leading to a number of negative effects such as pollution and delays. However, building new roads is not a feasible solution. Instead, the use of the existing road network has to be optimized, together with a shift towards more sustainable transport modes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Short-term pulmonary side-effects following radiation therapy in breast cancer

    Author : Pehr Lind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : breast neoplasm; radiotherapy; pulmonary side-effects;

    Abstract : The purpose of this dissertation was to study the short-term pulmonary side-effects following adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer in terms of clinical pulmonary complications, loss of pulmonary function and radiological abnormalities, and the association to irradiated lung volume and dose. Furthermore, we wanted to estimate the influence of covariates, e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Genotoxic hazards in the rubber industry : application of short-term tests in work environment analyses

    Author : Agneta Rannug; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Excess mortality from a number of different types of cancer has been associated with work in the rubber industry. The aim of the present study - using short-term tests for mutagenicity - was to identify potentially hazardous additives and process fumes to which workers are exposed. READ MORE
