Cardiovascular nursing (CVN) is rapidly developing and has accumulated a large amount of evidence to support interventions aimed at reducing suffering and hastening recovery. However, knowledge of the extent and content of CVN training in Sweden is lacking. The aim of this study was therefore to identify and describe CVN in the Swedish RN education as well as in higher education, with reference to

The availability of standard protocols to obtain DNA sequences has allowed the inference of phylogenetic Hypotheses for many taxa, including moths. We here have inferred a phylogeny using maximum-Likelihood and Bayesian approaches for a species-rich group of moths (Erebidae, Arctiinae), with strong emphasis on Neotropical genera collected in different field campaigns in the Atlantic Forest of Braz

International bi-lateral agreements to support the conservation of rainforests to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are growing in prevalence. In 2009, the governments of Guyana and Norway established Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS). We examine the extent to which the participation and inclusion of Guyana’s indigenous population within the LCDS is being achieved. We conducted a singl

Only in Sweden, single-family houses account for approximately 30% of energy use in all buildings and a large part uses only electricity for heating. The potential for improvements on energy efficiency in these houses is large. This study theoretically investigates retrofitting of electrically heated Swedish single-family houses by using an air-source heat pump for both space heating and domestic

Elasticity is the ability of a cloud infrastructure to dynamically change the amount of resources allocated to a running service as load changes. We build an autonomous elasticity controller that changes the number of virtual machines allocated to a service based on both monitored load changes and predictions of future load. The cloud infrastructure is modeled as a G=G=N queue. This model is used

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla har vi väl någon gång varit med om att datorer, dataprogram och datasystem inte fungerar som vi har tänkt oss. Inte sällan inträffar det fel och konstigheter som kan vara frustrerande och, i värsta fall, direkt farliga. Många gånger undrar man hur ett visst program eller system skall användas och hur de som har designat och byggt det har tänkt och resonerat. I stoThis work is about IT quality and systems developers' knowledge and view of it. IT quality is considered as the characteristics of a system or program that influence e.g. the experience of using it, the easiness to learn and understand it, how it could be customised according to new demands, and the possibility for those who have developed it to understand how it works and can be enhanced. There a

DNA copy number aberrations (CNAs) are a hallmark of cancer genomes. However, little is known about how such changes affect global gene expression. We develop a modeling framework, EPoC (Endogenous Perturbation analysis of Cancer), to (1) detect disease-driving CNAs and their effect on target mRNA expression, and to (2) stratify cancer patients into long-and short-term survivors. Our method constr

This master thesis is made in cooperation with Assa Abloy ES in Landskrona, Sweden. The purpose was to investigate the arm system for automatic swing door operators and set up an optimized theoretical model for a new PULL arm system with increased closing torque. The reason why the firm wants to get a more detailed view of the arm system is because of the present prevailing issue with non closing

The principal function of a trademark is to give consumers a guarantee of the identity of a market product, by enabling the consumers to distinguish that product from others of a different provenance. In order to make a product stand out in the market place, the industry constantly seeks to invent and use new ways to appeal to customers. Lately, unconventional sensory marks, such as scents have ma

Although biologics have revolutionized psoriasis treatment, they pose a significant burden on the healthcare budget. With the wide range of biologics available and the increasing number of biosimilars, insights into the real-world cost per responder (CPR) are required. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the real-world CPR of adalimumab, ustekinumab, IL17-and IL23-inhibitors, incorporating both

The built environment faces a growing functional mismatch in which a persistent affordable housing shortage coincides with rising office vacancy rates. In this context, adaptive reuse is approached in this thesis not only as a strategy for reassigning underused space, but as a building physics and building performance challenge tied to changing the use of existing buildings. The overall objective

Oxygen binding and cleavage are important for both molecular recognition and catalysis. Mn-based porphyrins in particular are used as catalysts for the epoxidation of alkenes, and in this study the homolytic cleavage of O-2 by a surface-supported monolayer of Mn porphyrins on Ag(111) is demonstrated by scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray absorption, and X-ray photoemission. As deposited, {5,10,15

INTRODUCTION: The development of PIH is associated with a defective trophoblast invasion and conversion of spiral arteries into low-resistance uteroplacental arteries. Hypertension may then be a compensatory response to a defective uteroplacental perfusion. Similar mechanisms may operate in IUGR. AIM: To compare uterine artery Doppler blood flow measurements with placental bed histology. The hypot

Laser cooling is a well-established technique for the creation of ensembles of ultracold neutral atoms or positive ions. This ability has opened many exciting new research fields over the past 40 years. However, no negatively charged ions have been directly laser cooled because a cycling transition is very rare in atomic anions. Efforts of more than a decade currently have La- as the most promisin

Background: Limited scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in elderly with comorbidities. Aim: To explore patient-related factors and outcomes in patients ≥75 years with diabetes and a foot ulcer. Method: Sub-analysis of consecutively presenting patients ≥75 years (N = 1008) from a previous study on 2,480 patients with diabetic foot ulcer treated in a multidiscipl

Novel approach for membrane modification to improve separation performance and antifouling stability was proposed. It involves using of 0.1–0.3 wt.% aqueous solutions of Praestol 859 (cationic polyelectrolyte based on copolymer of acrylamide and 2-acryloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride) as coagulants upon membrane preparation via non-solvent induced phase separation. It was shown that the additio

Semiconductor nanowires in wrapped, gate-all-around transistor geometry are highly favorable for future electronics. The advanced nanodevice processing results in strain due to the deposited dielectric and metal layers surrounding the nanowires, significantly affecting their performance. Therefore, non-destructive nanoscale characterization of complete devices is of utmost importance due to the sm

IMPORTANCE The clinical management of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers requires accurate, prospective cancer risk estimates. OBJECTIVES To estimate age-specific risks of breast, ovarian, and contralateral breast cancer for mutation carriers and to evaluate risk modification by family cancer history and mutation location. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Prospective cohort study of 6036 BRCA1 and
