One out of ten cases of acute pancreatitis develops into severe acute pancreatitis which is a life threatening disorder with a high mortality rate. The other nine cases are self limiting and need very little therapy. The specificity of good clinical judgement on admission, concerning the prognosis of the attack, is high (high specificity) but misses a lot of severe cases (low sensitivity). The pre
On the basis of existing detailed kinetic schemes a general and consistent mechanism of the oxidation of hydrocarbons and the formation of higher hydrocarbons was compiled for computational studies covering the characteristic properties of a wide range of combustion processes. Computed ignition delay times of hydrocarbon -oxygen mixtures (CH4-, C2H6-, C3H8-, n-C4H10-, CH4 + C2H6-, C2H4, C3H6-O-2)
AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate nurses' perceptions of working according to standardized care plans (SCPs), regarding usability, documentation, quality of care and the implementation process. BACKGROUND: Administrative work is an extensive part of nursing practice which leads to decreased time for the near patient-related care. In addition, the number of very sick patients with shor
Background andAims Middle-Eastern immigrants constitute a growing proportion of the Swedish population and are at high risk for Type 2 diabetes. This calls for a more proactive preventive approach for dealing with diabetes risk in this target group. The aim was to test the effect of a culturally adapted lifestyle intervention programme on changes in lifestyle habits and cardio-metabolic outcomes c
Nanofiber meshes holds great promise in wound healing applications by mimicking the topography of extracellular matrix, hence providing guidance for crucial cells involved in the regenerative processes. Here we explored the influence of nanofiber alignment on fibroblast behavior in a novel in vitro wound model. The model included electrospun poly-å-caprolactone scaffolds with different nanofiber o
Advanced analytical techniques have revealed a high degree of complexity in the chemical makeup of dissolved organic matter (DOM). This has opened the door for a deeper understanding of the role of DOM in the aquatic environment. However, the expense, analytical cost, and challenges related to interpretation of the large datasets generated by these methods limit their widespread application. Optic
OBJECTIVES: We examined approaches to reduce sodium content of food served in settings operated or funded by the government of the County of Los Angeles, California.METHODS: We adapted health impact assessment methods to mathematically simulate various levels of reduction in the sodium content of food served by the County of Los Angeles and to estimate the reductions' potential impacts on mean sys
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur EU-rätten har påverkat svenska arbetstagarorganisationers möjligheter att använda sig utav stridsåtgärder och vilka effekter denna påverkan kan ha på den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen. För det första måste det sägas att EU-domstolens genom Laval och Viking har gjort det svårare för arbetstagarorganisationer att vidta stridsåtgärder då domstolen ansett aThis thesis has the aim of investigating how EU-law has affected the legal position regarding Swedish trade union’s possibilities of undertaking industrial actions. It also aims at determining whether the influence of EU-law on the right to undertake industrial actions has had any effects on the Swedish model. According to CJEU’s judgements in Laval and Viking it must be said that the possibilit
This study aims to analyze the effects of competition on quality, efficiency, produced volume and gaming the system of specialized health care in Sweden, after implementation of the Freedom of Choice Act (LOV, Lagen om Vårdval). This is done by using data for specialized ophthalmology, which is a patient-elective diagnostic category. The motive behind the law, which established free entry for priv
A search for a new resonance decaying to a W or Z boson and a Higgs boson in the [Formula: see text] final states is performed using 20.3 fb[Formula: see text] of pp collision data recorded at [Formula: see text] 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The search is conducted by examining the WH / ZH invariant mass distribution for a localized excess. No significant deviation f
The chirality-flow formalism has proven to make amplitude calculations in the Standard Model analytically simple in comparison to previously established formalisms. To test the viability of the chirality-flow formalism for numerical implementations, a Chiral Automized Flow Extension (CAFE) for MadGraph5_aMC@NLO has been developed to compare amplitude evaluation time scaling between the two. CAFE u
Sedan 2004, när förordning 1/2003 trädde ikraft, har kommissionen givits en möjlighet att ersätta sitt förfarande för överträdelsebeslut inom tillämpningen av konkurrensrätt, med ett förenklat förfarande där specifika åtaganden görs bindande gentemot företag. Den huvudsakliga skillnaden ligger i att istället för att behöva genomföra en grundlig utredning gällande ett eller flera företags agerandenAs of 2004, with the entry into force of Regulation 1/2003, the Commission has been granted a possibility to substitute its infringement procedure in competition law enforcement, for a simplified commitment procedure. The major difference lies in that instead of having to conduct a thorough investigation into the behaviour of one or more undertakings, and follow this investigation with a finding o
There is a need for more efficient measures to ensure responsible migration in host countries. Sports are recognised as a key measure to promote integration. This thesis’s purpose is to increase the understanding of the impacts football clubs have on integration for youth girls with foreign backgrounds in Stockholm, Sweden. This is done by exploring social relations’ role in integration and examin
Despite progress over the last decades, East Africa has one of the highest ratios of preventable maternal mortality in the world. This qualitative case study sheds light on Midwife-Led Care (MLC) in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi and Somalia. MLC is a model of care associated with improved health outcomes and enhanced utilization of health systems resources. Nevertheless, the model is not properly integr
Objectives: Multi-stakeholder partnership is garnering greater attention worldwide as a means of tackling global wicked problems, implementing sustainable development and leveraging development cooperation. By adopting meta-governance approach, this study investigates the case study of Hoi An - A Green Destination partnership in the waste management context of Hoi An city, Vietnam to understand ho

This thesis aims to look into how some social workers in Sweden view their work with youths having sex for compensation with regards to the feminist ideas that the law on buying sex expresses. Swedish studies have shown that most of the youths having sex for compensation started when they were 13-14 years old. Previous literature and studies state that youths having sex for compensation often have
The aim of realistic graphics is the creation of images that provide the same visual responses that a viewer would experience in a real world scene. There are different rendering techniques that produce high dynamic range images that capture the full intensity range of a scene. These images cannot be reproduced on a standard display due to limitations in device hardware. Therefore, a high dynamic
The anticipated climate changes are predicted to alter the precipitation patterns in Sweden. Increased episodes of intense short-duration rainfall and higher intensities of day long-duration rainfall are expected. Road sections are often a target of flooding, causing impassable roads, due to the lack of capacity of drainage systems. One of the factors determining the water flow to a depression is
