This paper investigates the spatial distribution of different knowledge sourcing mechanisms by a network of video game developers in the Skåne region of Sweden. The video game industry has evolved considerably since its inception; transforming from a localized niche industry to one of the fastest growing media industries in the world. This paper aims to address how industry evolution engenders bot
Titel: Kunden har faktiskt inte alltid rätt- En kvalitativ studie av klagomålshantering utifrån makt, ansvar och intern kommunikation Författare: Fanny Westergren och Elina Zagar Lindstad Handledare: Malin Zillinger Syfte: Syftet för detta arbete är att undersöka hur konsumentnära personal inom branschen för försäljning av skönhetsprodukter i fysisk butik upplever klagomålshanteringen inom organis
Shallow coastal lagoons in the Gulf of Bothnia are unique habitats exhibiting the distinct effects of land uplifting. A regional type of coastal lagoon, flads, share high ecological value, many consisting of mud bottoms as well as dense vegetations such as charophyte meadows, and are considered an endangered habitat. These meadows provide essential habitat for birds, fish and benthic invertebrates
Background: Most validations of paediatric glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations using standardized creatinine (CR) and cystatin C (CYS) assays have comprised relatively small cohorts, which makes accuracy across subgroups of GFR, age, body mass index (BMI) and gender uncertain. To overcome this, a large cohort of children referred for GFR determination has been established from se
Background: There is a lack of validated tools to assess potential disease progression and hospitalisation decisions in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with a suspected infection. This study aimed to identify suitable blood biomarkers (MR-proADM, PCT, lactate and CRP) or clinical scores (SIRS, SOFA, qSOFA, NEWS and CRB-65) to fulfil this unmet clinical need. Methods: An observ
Ska allt vi förknippar med den offentliga sfären – tillgång till offentliga miljöer, arbetsliv, sociala relationer – vara tillgängligt för personer med funktionsnedsättning? Knappast någon skulle idag svara ”nej”. Men hur resonerar vi kring den privata sfären, kring frågor om intimitet och sexualitet? Är det möjligt att öka tillgängligheten också till dessa viktiga delar i en människas liv? Och ka
Aim: Children born extremely preterm frequently have developmental coordination disorder (DCD). We aimed to evaluate perinatal risk factors for DCD. Methods: Swedish national cohort study including 226 children born before 27 gestational weeks without major neurodevelopmental disabilities at 6.5 years. Outcome was DCD, defined as ≤5th percentile on the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Seco
Background: The Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) is a well-established life-saving therapy for heart failure patients, but due to the risk for unnecessary shocks, deactivation of ICD:s is recommended at the end of life. We aimed to identify i) how many people with HF and an ICD who died in Sweden in 2018 received Specialized Palliative Care (SPC), ii) of those dying outside of hospital
Since the late 1990s, researchers have been predicting that the era of neutrality in aid politics is coming to an end and that foreign organizations will have to take a more engaged stance. Yet while the boundaries between humanitarianism and development are fading, in some cases the neutrality norm is actually expanding rather than giving way to an engaged paradigm. Recognizing that the principle
In a gas turbine engine, the low pressure turbine (LPT) and the outlet guide vane (OGV) part are connected in the rear part. The outlet nozzle is designed as a contracted part to increase the ejection velocity and a pocket cavity (PC) is formed at this location. In this research work, the effects of the locations of the PC on the downstream endwall with a symmetrical vane (SV) are investigated and
Introduction. The fourth edition of the Transatlantic Orthopedic Surgery Webinar 2022 took place on December 12th, 2022. The main theme of the webinar was the treatment of crouch gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Speakers from Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States participated. Results. The first general session
Wages earned by men are often used as an indicator of the material standard of living (MSoL). However, this indicator relies on several assumptions when used for comparisons across time and space. Considering these assumptions will improve estimates of the MSoL from wages. One necessary assumption is that households in the compared populations relied on the primary income of the male head of house
Introduction: Divers are reported to have a lower ventilatory response to elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than non-divers. Hypoventilation with CO₂ retention during diving is potentially dangerous. It is unknown if CO₂ retention is largely inherited or develops during diving training. We aimed to investigate if a military dive training course would influence the ventilatory response to CO₂
Introduction: Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a technique combining vaginal entrance to the abdomen with endoscopic overview. Previous studies have shown that vNOTES decreases operating time, hospitalization, postoperative complications, and pain. We aimed to present patient demographics, costs, and surgical outcomes following the implementation of vNOTES for be
This paper reports the measurement of Higgs boson production in association with a tt¯ pair in the H→bb¯ decay channel. The analysis uses 140 fb-1 of 13 TeV proton–proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The final states with one or two electrons or muons are employed. An excess of events over the expected background is found with an observed (expected
Amongst the impacts of climate change, those arising from extreme hydrological events are expected to cause the greatest impacts. To assess the changes in temperature and precipitation and their impacts on the discharge in the upper Yangtze Basin from pre-industrial to the end of 21st century, four hydrological models were integrated with four global climate models. Results indicated that mean dis
