Background: Lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is common in emergency departments (EDs) and can be fatal if left untreated due to the risk of progression to pulmonary embolism (PE). In Scandinavia, DVT diagnosis typically relies on ultrasound performed outside the ED in the diagnostic departments. However, international guidelines now recommend combining limited/proximal compression ultrasound
Increasing extreme heat events in the tropics are creating dangerous environments in schools. There are limited data, however, on the extent of extreme heat in such classrooms and effective heat-mitigation strategies. This study presents the first long-term analysis of classroom temperatures in Ghanaian schools, measuring conditions in 16 classrooms in Accra over 389 days. It highlights the condit
Aims: To analyse dosimetric and clinical predictors for acute and late gastrointestinal toxicity following chemoradiotherapy of anal cancer. Materials and methods: Consecutive patients with locally advanced (T2 ≥4 cm – T4 or N+) anal cancer were selected from an institutional database (n = 114). All received intensity-modulated radiotherapy with concomitant 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin C. Gastroin
This thesis concerns the nature of the gestures performed by five Swedish children. The children are followed from 18 to 30 months of age: an age range which is characterized by a rapid succession of developmental changes in children's abilities to communicate by means of both spoken language and gesture. There are few studies of gesture in children of these ages, making it essential to ask a numb
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förmågan att ha tillgång till energi oberoende av ett varierande födointag är livsavgörande. Kroppen har därför på ett högst effektivt sätt löst detta genom att lagra energi i form av fett i fettceller, vilka finns i fettväven. Dessa fettdepåer, vilka utgörs av triglycerider (en triglycerid består av ett glycerol med tre påkopplade fettsyror), byggs upp då födointaget äTriglycerides in the adipocyte are hydrolysed by means of three consecutive reactions through the combined action of two lipases: hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and monoglyceride lipase (MGL). HSL catalyses the first and rate-limiting step, i.e. the hydrolysis of triglycerides to diglycerides, and the subsequent hydrolysis of diglycerides and monoglycerides. However, MGL is needed to assure comple
Meta Isæus-Berlin: The Animated Installations Torsten Weimarck At about the same time that I saw Meta Isæus-Berlin’s remarkable installation Ett vattenhem (A Water Home) at the Bo01 Housing Fair in Malmö I also happened to see Johannes Stjärne Nilsson and Ola Simonsson’s film Music for one appartment and six drummers which was shown as a supporting film in the cinema. It struck me that these wo
Objective. Infliximab, an anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF alpha) antibody, is effective in the treatment of several immunoinflammatory diseases. However, many patients experience primary or secondary response failure, suggesting that individualization of treatment regimens may be beneficial. This study was undertaken to investigate whether serologic monitoring of infliximab bioavailabil
Background Several candidate genes have been found to be associated with the inflammatory response of IgE-mediated allergy, so also the immunoglobulin constant heavy G chain (IGHG) genes. The IGHG genes are situated close to the IGHE gene on chromosome 14q32, 5'μ, δ, γ3, γ1, α1, γ2, γ4, e, α2, 3'. They are inherited in a Mendelian fashion and expressed randomly in allelic exclusion. The alternativ
As the contribution of dispersed or distributed energy resources (DER) to the electric power production increases, the effects on the power system grow more important. As an example a critical situation may arise if protective relays trip a large part of the dispersed generation due to undervoltage at a short-circuit event. On the other hand it is crucial that the protection system acts correctly
Summary: This study examines the impact of smoking and smoking cessation on fracture risk in 75-year-old women followed for 10 years. Smoking increased fracture risk, especially for vertebral fractures. Smoking cessation decreased the risk for vertebral fractures but not for other fracture types. Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine effects of smoking and smoking cessation on fra
Objectives To estimate the prevalence and cumulative incidence of gout in southern Sweden with respect to socioeconomic status. Methods Among residents of Skåne region in the year 2013 (total population 1.3 million), adult persons (age 18 years +) who between 1998 and 2013 received a diagnosis of gout (International Classification of Disease 10th Edition (ICD-10) code M10) by any physician were id
Background: Models describing nuclear fragmentation and fragmentation fission deliver important input for planning nuclear physics experiments and future radioactive ion beam facilities. These models are usually benchmarked against data from stable beam experiments. In the future, two-step fragmentation reactions with exotic nuclei as stepping stones are a promising tool for reaching the most neut
OBJECTIVE: In 17 patients with chronic sinusitis persistent after sinus surgery, long-term, low-dose erythromycin therapy was tested. The aim of the investigation was to study the clinical outcome and effects on nasal nitric oxide (NO), ciliary beat frequency (CBF), and mucociliary transport (saccharine transit time). STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We conducted a prospective open study at a tertiary te
Popular Abstract in Swedish Gasturbiner har länge varit en ekonimsk och driftsäkert sätt att producera energi. Främst har dom använts för framdrivning av flygplan och production av elektricitet och värme. Dom ständigt ökade kraven på miljöfarliga emissioner har tvingat fram nya metoder för att producera kraft. Nästa generations kraftverk måste ha hög termisk verkningsgrad samt mycket låga emission
Sedan brottsbalkens tillkomst har det i svensk rätt varit oklart om personer som företar brottsliga gärningar under påverkan av tillfällig sinnesförvirring ska ådömas straffrättsligt ansvar eller inte. Någon sådan ursäktande omständighet finns inte lagstadgad, men i doktrin och förarbeten är en vanligt förekommande uppfattning att sådan regel ändå existerar – om än i oskriven form. Syftet med detSince the creation of The Penal Code it has in Swedish law been unclear whether individuals who undertake criminal acts under the influence of temporary insanity should be imposed criminal liability or not. Such an apologetic circumstance is not statutory; however in jurisprudential literature and preparatory works a widespread opinion is that such a rule still exists – albeit in unwritten form.
Sammanfattning Svensk polis saknade länge ett uttalat lagstöd för rätten att använda våld. De gavs i äldre lagstiftning en befogenhet att bruka nödvändigt våld för att avvärja ett livsfarligt angrepp på sig själv eller någon annan. Däremot förelåg dem ingen rätt att vid ett ingripande ta till våld. Svensk polis ska alltid försöka hitta andra utvägar än våld för att lösa en uppgift inom ramen för Summary Swedish police lacked for a long period of time an explicit legal basis for the right to use force. They were in an older legislative powered to operate necessary force to repel a life threatening situation on himself or anyone else. However, the police had no given right to take on violence due to an intervention. Swedish police should always try to find other ways than violence to solve
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur den kinesiska nationalismen används som ett maktverktyg för den icke-demokratiska regimen i Kina i syfte att legitimera sin makt hos den kinesiska befolkningen. Studien utreder Kinas inblandning i konflikten om Spratlyöarna och hur den kinesiska retoriken i konflikten används för att skapa sammanhållning och legitimitet för det Kinesiska kommunistiska pThe purpose of this paper is to investigate how the Chinese nationalism is used as a power tool for the non-democratic regime in China to legitimize its power within the Chinese people. The study investigate Chinas involvement in the conflict of the Spratly Islands and how the Chinese rhetoric is used to create cohesion and legitimacy for the Chinese communist party (CCP), and not the global impac
Internet och den digitala utvecklingen medför positiva såväl som negativa konsekvenser. Samtidigt som vi på ett enkelt sätt kan ta del av information och dela upplevelser med varandra skapas även nya sätt för förövare att nå brottsoffer. Barn under 15 år ska erhålla ett absolut skydd mot sexuella handlingar och gällande rätt bör gå hand i hand med denna tanke. Denna uppsats syftar därför till att Internet and the digital development have positive as well as negative consequences. Today we can easily find information and share experiences with each other, but at the same time, new ways for offenders to reach victims of crime, are created. Children under the age of 15 shall obtain an absolute protection against sexual acts and current law should express this. This essay aims to investigate t
