Background: Isocapnic hyperventilation (IHV) shortens recovery time after inhalation anaesthesia by increasing ventilation while maintaining a normal airway carbon dioxide (CO2)-level. One way of performing IHV is to infuse CO2 to the inspiratory limb of a breathing circuit during mechanical hyperventilation (HV). In a prospective randomized study, we compared this IHV technique to a standard emer
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte var att kartlägga den vård vårdpersonalen i Sverige praktiserar när nyfödda barn är döende och dör; samt belysa hur svenska kvinnor upplevt hot om och förlust av sitt nyfödda barn och vården de erhållit; ett ytterligare syfte var att utforska muslimska kvinnors uppfattning om den i Sverige praktiserade neonatala vården i livets slut. De professionelThe aim was to describe the neonatal end-of-life practice and illuminate Swedish women's lived experiences of the threat and the reality of their neonate's dying and death as well as the care received. A further aim was to explore Muslim women's view of current Swedish neonatal-end-of-life care. In a questionnaire with close-ended questions 144 registered nurses described their experiences, behavi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Malign hypertermi, ärftligt och farligt vid narkos – hur diagnostiseras det ? I april 1960 sövdes en yngling i Australien. Han var mycket orolig därför att tio släktingar dött av eter-narkos. Han sövdes i stället med ett nytt medel – halotan, det höll på att kosta även honom livet. En kortfattad fallbeskrivning i Lancet fick stor uppmärksamhet och på andra ställen i väMalignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility is a rare inherited muscular disorder, which may cause a lethal increase in metabolism during anaesthesia with certain commonly used anaesthetic. Susceptible individuals are without any signs or symptoms. It is important to identify individuals at risk, since the MH reaction is preventable. Susceptibility to MH is diagnosed with an in vitro contracture te
Under vårterminen 2020 inträffade coronapandemin (Covid-19) vars effekter blev omfattande världen över. Lärare var en av de yrkesgrupper som behövde hitta nya vägar, inte minst ensemblelärare stod inför flera utmaningar. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur ensemblelärare i afroamerikansk tradition på gymnasie- och folkhögskolenivå, hanterade och upplevde övergången från närundervisning till diDuring spring of 2020 the corona pandemic (Covid -19) affected everyday life for people all over the world. Teachers had to find new ways to reach out to the students, ensemble teachers included. The purpose of this study is to look into how ensemble teachers within pop, rock and jazz genres handled and experienced the transition to distance education. The concept “the core of the ensemble subject
The 13C mobility and cross-β-sheet structure of lipid-protein co-assemblies formed by incubating ganglioside GM3-containing model membranes with the amyloid protein α-synuclein were investigated by solid-state NMR and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) at varying lipid-to-protein ratios and membrane compositions at body temperature. The POPCGM3 model membrane was characterized by PT ssNMR and X-ra
Migration is a common phenomenon in many organisms, terrestrial as well as aquatic, and considerable effort has been spent to understand the evolution of migratory behaviour and its consequences for population and community dynamics. In aquatic systems, studies on migration have mainly been focused on commercially important fish species, such as salmon and trout. However, seasonal mass-migrations
Problem Statement: Make the order handling process as well as the purchasing process more efficient by constructing a loading application for transport of mixed goods in containers and trailers and to put that application in a wider packaging logistic perspective by analysing the effects of an implementation of this application. Purpose: To simplify the order handling process and the purchasi
The impact prostitution has on women's lives is complex and seldom positive. The purpose of this study is to broaden the knowledge of how women's identities are affected by prostitution. We have studied the life stories of four former prostitutes and their experiences from prostitution. The empirical data was collected from the women's autobiographies. Through narrative analysis of the
The purpose of this thesis is to examine if Swedish sustainable funds, which invest in Swedish companies and are registered in Sweden, have a higher risk-adjusted return than Swedish traditional funds. The main purpose is to evaluate the risk-adjusted return during the pandemic Covid-19 and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. We construct two different portfolios; one sustainable and one traditional p
Thirteen different polymers have been investigated in the tries to find a polymeric water-based binder for the brazing alloy F300. F300 has the chemical formula Fe-24Cr-20Ni-10Cu-7P-5Mn-Si and is a gas-atomized metal powder used for high temperature brazing. Except being water-soluble the polymers used for the binder, would have to provide sufficient viscosity at a maximum 2 wt% and not gel under
Transistors are used in all digital devices today. The demand of faster and smaller devices such as mobile telephones and computers constantly drives the develop- ment of smaller transistor technologies. Transistors can also be used in analog applications. Today there are commercial chips with both radio and digital sys- tems in the same package. Cellular Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to ma
Arbete på distans blev under en period vardag för flera tjänstepersoner till följd av covid-19 pandemin. Huruvida arbete från den traditionella arbetsplatsen fortsättningsvis är önskvärd för medarbetarna kan tänkas vara av intresse för arbetsgivare att ha kännedom om. Syftet med studien var att undersöka medarbetares upplevelse av distansarbetet utifrån produktivitet och gruppsammanhållning för tiDue to the covid-19 pandemic telework became a regular workday for many white-collar workers during a period of time. Whether the traditional workplace is desirable for workers to be continued working from or not may be of interest to employers to know. The aim of this study was to examine how municipal workers in the white-collar sector experienced telework as well as perceived their productivit
In conventional design of pile foundations, all loads are taken by the piles, i.e. the contact pressure between the raft and the soil is neglected. In the last decades geotechnical engineers have started to take this pressure into account in design of pile foundation. Such a foundation, where the raft and the piles interact to transfer the loads to the ground, is in this dissertation called piled
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study (ECASS) III trial and Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke-International Stroke Thrombolysis Register (SITS-ISTR) data were published in 2008. Riks-Stroke, the Swedish Stroke Register, was used to explore how thrombolysis in the 3- to 4.5-hour window has been spread in different hospitals and patient groups and what effec
This thesis evaluates the institutional feasibility of the New Zealand Emission Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) policy during its formation, design, and implementation as well as how the related changes in the regulatory framework affected the policy and market behaviour. Using a set of complementary analytical methods, the research investigates the institutional developments and complexities of the NZ ET
