Despite a long history and the vast number of applications demonstrated, very few market products incorporate acoustophoresis. Because a human operator must run and control a device during an experiment, most devices are limited to proof of concepts. On top of a possible detuning due to temperature changes, the human operator introduces a bias which reduces the reproducibility, performance and rel
BACKGROUND: Historically, a reduced serum sodium concentration has been used to diagnose absorption of electrolyte-free irrigating fluid during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). In bipolar TURP, the irrigating solution contains electrolytes, thus invalidating the serum sodium method. In this study, we investigated whether glucose can be used to diagnose the absorption of irrigating f
Background: Differences in stroke care and health outcomes between men and women are debated. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between patients' sex and post-stroke health outcomes and received care in a Swedish setting. Methods: Patients with a registered diagnosis of acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or ischemic stroke (IS) within regional administrative systems (IC
The paper focuses on skills and competences used in audio description (AD) of a Swedish popular scientific journal. The journal, containing complex images and visualizations, is made accessible for visually impaired audiences by producing an audio version. The task is to create a verbal description to enhance understanding and enjoyment. The interpretative process of meaning-making is uncovered by
Objective: To study the difference in incidence and risk of fragility fractures between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients followed up early in the disease and the general population in Sweden; and the fracture risk changes in RA patients diagnosed in the 1990s and 2000s because of earlier, more potent pharmacological treatment in the later period. Method: Patients with early RA were recruited fro
How can a country improve productivity growth in its business sector and reach its growth potential? Sweden during the 1970-2010 period can serve as an example to help other countries understand how to efficiently reform a business sector. In the 1990s, Sweden implemented a reform package that ignited a successful reorganization of a business sector that had faltered for decades. To understand the
Context: The global software industry and the software engineering (SE) academia are two large communities. However, unfortunately, the level of joint industry-academia collaborations in SE is still relatively very low, compared to the amount of activity in each of the two communities. It seems that the two ’camps’ show only limited interest/motivation to collaborate with one other. Many researche
OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to validate the Swedish Cardiac Surgery Registry by reviewing the reported cardiac operations to assess the completeness and quality of the registered data and the EuroSCORE II variables.METHODS: A total of 5837 cardiac operations were reported to the Swedish Cardiac Surgery Registry in Sweden during 2015. A randomly selected sample of 753 patient records (13%) was scrutin
Introduction Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains low. Early recognition by emergency medical dispatchers is essential for an effective chain of actions, leading to early cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use of an automated external defibrillator and rapid dispatching of the emergency medical services. Aim To analyse and compare the accuracy of OHCA recognition by medical dis
The relationship between temperature and mortality is well established but has seldom been investigated in terms of external causes. In some Eastern European countries, external cause mortality is substantial. Deaths owing to external causes are the third largest cause of mortality in Estonia, after cardiovascular disease and cancer. Death rates owing to external causes may reflect behavioural cha
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that modulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. Current evidence suggests that miR-21 plays a significant role in the progression of fibrosis in muscle diseases. Laminin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-CMD) is a severe form of congenital muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the gene encoding laminin α2 chain. Mouse models dy3K/
I samband med offentliga uppköpserbjudanden uppstår emellanåt ett behov för aktiemarknadsaktörer att göra uttalanden gentemot aktiemarknaden avseende sina avsikter. När aktiemarknadsaktören senare av olika anledningar kan behöva avvika från denna tidigare gjorda avsiktsförklaring uppstår frågan om under vilka förutsättningar en sådan avvikelse kan godtas. Uppsatsens grundläggande syfte är således During the course of a public takeover offer, the need for a stock market actor to make statements towards the market regarding their intentions occasionally arises. For various reasons, the stock market actor may at a later stage deem it necessary to diverge from this previously made statement of intention and the question of under what circumstances such a deviation is acceptable emerges. Theref
Femicide is the ultimate expression of violence against women. It is the ultimate act of male dominance over a woman. Despite the criminal justice systems and governments have acknowledged femicide as a crime, there is little public awareness about the patriarchal roots that diffuse and maintain men´s power. Even though the causes of femicide cannot be separated from the causes of patriarchy, femi
Sverige har beslutat att år 2020 implementera barnkonventionen och konventionen blir då erkänd som svensk rätt. Barnets rätt att komma till tals i alla förfaranden som berör barnet är en grundläggande princip i barnkonventionen. Norge implementerade barnkonventionen år 2003 vilket resulterade i att barnets rättigheter stärktes. Barnets rätt att komma till tals är lagstadgad i föräldrabalken men tSweden has decided to implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 2020. The child’s right to be listened to in all procedures involving it, is a fundamental principle of the convention. Norway implemented the convention in 2003 which resulted in enhanced respect for the child’s right. The right of the child to be listened to is prescribed by law in the Children and Parents Code. Despite
Uppsatsen behandlar vilka förutsättningar som ställs för att en handling ska klassas som psykisk medhjälp samt var den nedre gränsen av psykisk medhjälp går för att kunna döma för medhjälp till brott. 23 kap. 4 § Brottsbalken (1962:700), fortsättningsvis BrB, är det centrala lagrummet för medverkansansvar. Enligt bestämmelsen föreskrivs att den som främjar annans otillåtna gärning med råd eller dåThis essay addresses the prerequisites for an action to be classified as psychological participation and where the line is drawn between criminal participation and non-criminal participation. The fourth article of the twenty third chapter of the Penal Code describes that any person who promotes another person’s unlawful act with counsel or deed is held responsible for participating in a crime. Par
Barnadråpsbestämmelsen medför en privilegiering för det fall en kvinna uppsåtligen dödar sitt nyfödda barn. Straffet för brottet är fängelse i högst sex år. Trots att dagens reglering sällan tillämpas i praxis, har dess föregångare –barnamordsbestämmelsen– en mörk och omfattande historia, som under 1700-talet utgjorde det dominerande straffrättsliga och kriminalpolitiska problemet i samhället. SamThe infanticide provision entails a privileging of the case when a woman intentionally kills her newborn child. The range of punishment for the crime is imprisonment for a maximum of six years. Despite its rare application today, the provision has a dark and extensive history and constituted a significant challenge for criminal law and criminal policy during the 18th century. The societal view of
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of various post-trade anonymity regimes on the liquidity of the Stockholm, Helsinki, and Copenhagen exchanges in 2014, 2019, 2020, and 2022. The theoretical perspectives used for this paper include information asymmetry, adverse selection, informational value of broker codes, trader dynamics under anonymity, order anticipation, and market make
