Background: Currently, the knowledge that one has on adequate stroke follow-up practices is limited. We report associations between 90-day stroke follow-up, socio-economy and adherence to secondary prevention in southern Sweden. Methods: Data on 5,602 patients with ischemic stroke January 1, 2008-December 31, 2010, were obtained from Riksstroke and linked to official registers for information on e

The structure tensor is a powerful tool describing the local intensity structure of an image or image sequence. In this paper we give a model for the noise distribution of the components of the tensor. In order to do so we have also investigated some properties of the gamma distribution. We show that, given an input image corrupted with Gaussian noise, the noise in the structure tensor can be mode

This paper studies the nexus between income and wealth inequality, and the ecological footprint in the United States and France from 1962 to 2021. Based on theoretical considerations, we allow the relationship to vary over time. We find some support for income inequality affecting the ecological footprint in the United States and that the relationship has changed over time. We find no such result This paper studies the nexus between income and wealth inequality, and the ecological footprint in the United States and France from 1962 to 2021.

Architectural design is a process of creative problem solving, moreover architects manage not only information about the building but also about the user organisation. Therefore, information systems for architectural design must support the development of new ideas and concepts, and must be able to handle both building and user data. The paper presents two recently developed prototype applications

Den gällande svenska våldtäktsregleringen baseras antingen på tvång eller på otillbörligt utnyttjande vid en särskilt utsatt situation. I begreppet tvång ligger såväl våld som hot, vilka båda enligt den svenska regleringen är lågt ställda krav. ”Särskilt utsatt situation” å andra sidan ser bland annat till vissa exemplifierade situationer. I och med att Europadomstolen avkunnade Bulgariendomen, viThe current Swedish rape law is based on either force or improper use of a “particularly vulnerable situation”. The concept of force includes violence and threat, with levels which are fairly easy to achieve, whilst “particularly vulnerable situation” is exemplified in the law. Since the European Court of Human Rights pronounced the judgment against Bulgaria, requiring the criminalisation of any n

The study aims to investigate whether diversity can affect people's social intelligence. The study has been conducted with an experimental design, where two experimental groups were primed with a text describing a workplace with a high degree of diversity respectively non-diversity. A control-group read a neutral text. The texts were followed by the self-assessment test Tromsö Social Intellige

As of date, quantitative trading methods are a strong growing niche of trading. More and more sophisticated models are employed to chase investment opportunities. The question is whether this is over-engineering and if it adds value to practitioners. We have found an interesting quantitative pairs trading strategy that belong to the family of relative value strategies. The studied stochastic contr

The study offers a prescriptive definition of a sustainable corporation from a human-rights-based approach. It defines a sustainable corporation as any business created with or that has human rights and the environment as its fundamental values, and integrates as well as implements such values into all aspects of its operations. This definition implies that all companies their sizes or sector notwThis study finds that the concept of a sustainable corporation is better created as a construct of corporate law rather than international human rights law. The study proposes that a sustainable corporation should be defined by an international framework to ensure consistency, and to promote its effectiveness, States should amend their existing corporate legislation and/or enact due diligence legi
