- Doppler tissue imaging is a method for quantitative analysis of longitudinal myocardial velocity. Commercially available ultrasound systems can only present velocity information using a color Dopplerbased overlapping continuous color scale. The analysis is time-consuming and does not allow for simultaneous analysis in different projections. We have developed a new method, velocity tracking, using a stepwise color coding of the regional longitudinal myocardial velocity. The velocity data from 3 apical projections are presented as static and dynamic bull's-eye plots to give a 3-dimensional understanding of the function of the left ventricle. The static bull's-eye plot can display peak systolic velocity, late diastofic tissue velocity, or the sum of peak systolic velocity and early diastolic tissue velocity. Conversely, the dynamic bull's-eye plot displays how the myocardial velocities change over one heart cycle. Velocity tracking allows for a fast, simple, and hituitive visual analysis of the regional longitudinal contraction pattern of the left ventricle with a great potential to identify characteristic pathologic patterns.

- Using a human-capital perspective and the similarity-attraction paradigm, we examine the role of general and specific human capital in the decision policies of 114 Swedish loan officers in their assessments of small-business loan requests. We found that human capital characteristics had marginal impact on decision policy contingencies and that specific human capital had no significant influence on the probability of loan approval. However, we did find that the similarity between the loan officers’ human capital and the pplicants’ human capital was a significant indicator of loan approval. The findings offer interesting insight into the heterogeneity of loan decision processes and outcomes and future research opportunities are suggested.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Additively manufactured porous structures fmd increasing applications in the biomedical context to produce orthopedic prosthesis and devices. In comparison with traditional bulk metallic implants, they permit to tailor the stiffness of the prosthesis to that of the surrounding bony tissues, thus limiting the onset of stress shielding and resulting implant loosening, and to favor the bone in-growth through the interconnected pores. Mechanical and biological properties of these structures are strongly influenced by the size and spatial arrangement of pores and struts. In the present work irregular and regular cellular as well as fully random porous structures are investigated through tensile and compression uniaxial tests. Specific point of novelty of this work is that, beside classical compressive tests, which are standard characterization methods for porous/cellular materials, tensile tests are carried out. Mechanical tests are complemented with morphological analysis and porosity measurements. An attempt is made to find correlations between cell arrangements, porosity and mechanical properties.
