Mesenteric duct chylomicrons labelled with [3H]arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic (18:2) acid were injected intravenously into essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) and control rats. The rats were killed after 5, 10, 20 and 240 min, and serum and different organs were analysed for radioactivity of different lipid classes. 3H and 14C in the triacylglycerol (TG) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) f

Modern health-care is a complex socio-technical system, and as such variability is normal and necessary. The ability of a complex system such as health-care to quickly and correctly adapt to varying circumstances is crucial to how well the system works. Both increased compliance to guidelines, and a concurrent ability in individuals to deviate from these guidelines in certain situations, can be ex

Research infrastructures such as biobanks are increasingly important for science and society. This paper focuses on the transition of biobanks from being a research tool of individual research groups to complex, internationally networked research infrastructures supporting large-scale biomedical investigations, and the challenges that this change poses for governance in relation to management, fun

Hypothermia is a common adverse event during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), affecting multiple organ systems and increasing risk of poor health outcomes among patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing CRRT. TheraMax blood warmers are the next generation of extracorporeal blood warmers which reduce risk of hypothermia during CRRT. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the

This paper investigates the potential of an infant intervention to improve life expectancy, contributing to emerging interest in the early life origins of chronic disease. We track individuals from birth to death, and are able to identify age and cause of death. The intervention was pioneered in Sweden in 1931–1933, and appears to have been pivotal in the emergence of universal infant care program

Modern software systems often utilize a distributed architecture, which uses the network as the communication channel. This results in the system being dependent on the network performance to behave as expected. The network performance varies, and network faults can occur, which may negatively affect the system. As a system maintainer, it is difficult to know if the problem lies in the service or

Det råder en hög konkurrens inom reseindustrin, både mellan resebyråer men också genom den bokning som sker på internet, det blir därmed avgörande att skapa konkurrensfördelar genom kundrelationer. Frontpersonal måste alltid leverera god service samtidigt som det ständigt efterfrågas ett högre tempo och ökad försäljning. Då forskning visar att dessa två komponenter inte går att kombinera då den en

Since the European Union’s inception, creating a well functioning, competitive and integrated market has been at the heart of the Unions project. The four freedoms, free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, which led to the opening of the boarders, have been one of the main forces behind growth in Europe. Today, Europe has become the world’s biggest economy and the Single Market is it

This study aims to predict saving behavior using Artificial Neural Network (ANN), XGBoost, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. First, 25 variables were chosen from the original 217 questions asked by the National Financial Capability Well-Being Survey (2018) NFCS, using exploratory data analysis. K-means clustering was applied to determine the optimal number of saving classes (k=5) to inc

Risk and return go hand in hand, and one way for a firm to mitigate existing and potential investors' risk in a stock is to employ a financial service; liquidity providing. The value of liquidity provision has become relevant as market uncertainties and shocks in the market create disturbances. In addition, the market environment has changed with regulation and the increase of high-frequency t

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions, many companies found themselves in the reality that they had to conduct their business operations from home. The pandemic has heightened the need for Professional Service Firms (PSFs) to shrink, pivot, re-invent themselves, as well as redeploy organisational culture and resources dramatically, abruptly, and possibly disrupti

Purpose: The aim of this thesis is to explore the transition towards a hybrid work model and the implications it may have on the use and adaptation of management control within PSFs. The purpose is further to highlight the reasons behind the adaptations of MCS. Methodology: A qualitative single case study of a professional service firm, with empirical data collected through semi-structured interv

Fire-safety documentation is an essential part of regular inspections during the building operations and maintenance phase. As help, service drawings exist to detail the positions of various fire-safety devices and their addresses, as well as fire zone coverage throughout the floors and sectors of a building. Automatically extracting this information would be immensely helpful towards, for example
