AbstractOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a devastating manifestation of coronary artery disease. For patients who are initially resuscitated and are admitted to an intensive care unit, mortality is high. Roughly half of all patients die, primarily due to neurological injury. In recent years, some improvement in outcomes has been seen, perhaps in some part due to interventions performed in hospita

In almost all countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, power sectors are characterized by a high degree of vertical integration and state control. However, several countries have undertaken reforms in order to open up the power market for private sector involvement particularly in relation to renewable energy (RE) sourced electricity generation. The majority of the MENA countri

Background: Integration of second-generation (2G) bioethanol production with existing first-generation (1G) production may facilitate commercial production of ethanol from cellulosic material. Since 2G hydrolysates have a low sugar concentration and 1G streams often have to be diluted prior to fermentation, mixing of streams is beneficial. Improved ethanol concentrations in the 2G production proce

A proactive strategy to respond effectively to health impacts related to climate variability, particularly within vulnerable populations, is of vital importance. Such a strategy can be attained if health officials have a deep understanding of how climate variability affects human health and if the resources available for the health care sector are sufficient. This study assessed the perceptions an

Syfte: Undersökningen syftar till att utreda den effekt införandet av en granskning, vid sidan av revisionen, av finansiella rapporter får på dels synen på redovisning och revision, dels den faktiska redovisningen. Uppsatsen syftar även till att diskutera möjligheten för Panelen att utföra den faktiska övervakningen av företagens finansiella rapporter. Metod: Då det studerade fenomenet är relativt

In our response, we address four themes arising from the commentaries. First, we discuss the distinction between cognition and metacognition and show how to draw it within our framework. Next, we explain how metacognition differs from social cognition. The underlying mechanisms of metacognitive development are then elucidated in terms of interaction patterns. Finally, we consider measures of metac

Achieving a robust ignition with minimal spark plug wear is challenging in heavy duty engines fueled with gaseous fuels like biogas and hydrogen. Thermal energy deposition from the spark to the gas was studied in a 10.9 milliliter custom-built spark calorimeter. An AC capacitive ignition system was used along with a dual-nickel standard J-gap spark plug and the influence of multiple physical and e

Epidemiologists have for many decades reported on the patterns and distributions of diabetes within and between populations and have helped to elucidate the aetiology of the disease. This has helped raise awareness of the tremendous burden the disease places on individuals and societies; it has also identified key risk factors that have become the focus of diabetes prevention trials and helped sha

An acoustic device for generating high quality blood plasma for PSA microarray diagnostics is presented.
