Obiectives: Ventricular septal rupture is a rare but feared complication after acute myocardial infarction. Most reports about outcome after surgical treatment are single center experiences. We investigated the results after surgical repair in all patients in Sweden during a 7-year period. Methods: All patients undergoing surgical repair 1992-1998 were identified with the aid of the Swedish Heart

The feasibility of exploiting genomic information for individualized treatment of polygenic diseases remains uncertain. A genetic variant in ADRA2A, which encodes the α2A-adrenergic receptor (α2AAR), was recently associated with type 2 diabetes. This variant causes receptor overexpression and impaired insulin secretion; thus, we hypothesized that blocking α2AAR pharmacologically could improve insu

This paper presents a Heterogeneous Agent Model of a financial market with chartist and fundamentalist traders that exhibit bounded rationality and short-term thinking to explain the effect of under and overreaction to news. The existence of the Market Maker’s finite price adjustment speed and the presence of risk aversion lead to the fact that prices do not adjust instantaneously to new informati

While imaging optically dense media such as atomizing sprays, the multiple light scattering induces image artifacts and blurring effects which limit visibility.Therefore, extracting quantitative spray information such as droplet size and concentration from qualitative images becomes very challenging. However, multiple scattering effects can be efficiently addressed by means of the SLIPI (Structure

Can an educational programme develop tomorrow’s leaders? Can the mindset and skill set found in successful leaders be taught and learnt in educational programmes? This paper presents a leadership program, a cross disciplinary master programme atLund University, Sweden. The students study technology and management, however, the programme’s unique value proposition lies in its focus on leadership.Th

Olfaction presents a particularly interesting arena to explore abstraction in language. Like other abstract domains, such as time, odours can be difficult to conceptualize. An odour cannot be seen or held, it can be difficult to locate in space, and for most people odours are difficult to verbalize. On the other hand, odours give rise to primary sensory experiences. Every time we inhale we are usi

PURPOSE: There is considerable evidence that the presence of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-like gene sequences in human breast cancer is highly associated with human breast carcinoma. Previous studies have found MMTV-like gene sequences in 38% of breast cancer tissue from United States women. The prevalence of these sequences in Australian and Vietnamese women has never been reported. EXPERIMEN

Evolutionary change results from selection acting on genetic variation. For migration to be successful, many different aspects of an animal's physiology and behaviour need to function in a co-coordinated way. Changes in one migratory trait are therefore likely to be accompanied by changes in other migratory and life-history traits. At present, we have some knowledge of the pressures that operate a

Aims: We aimed to investigate the rapid induction of therapeutic hypothermia using the ZOLL Proteus Intravascular Temperature Management System in patients with anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) without cardiac arrest. Methods and results: A total of 50 patients were randomised; 22 patients (88%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 69-97%) in the hypothermia group and 23 patients (92%;

A Fe–Ti-rich garnet, clinopyroxene, and quartz eclogite sample from the 1.0 Ga Sveconorwegian orogen, SW Sweden, contains abundant quartz, rutile, and zircon in distinct micro-textural sites: garnet core, garnet rim, and matrix, constituting an ideal case for investigation of the behavior of Zr-in-rutile and Ti-in-quartz at high-pressure and temperature. A P–T path, peaking at 16.5–19 kbar and 850

Så Räddar Vi den Svenska Sandstäppen På sandiga, torra gräsmarker med hög kalkhalt kan så kallad sandstäpp utvecklas. Det är en unik naturtyp som bara förekommer på ett fåtal platser i Europa. I Sverige finns sandstäppen i östra Skåne och enstaka ytor på Öland. Sandstäppen är mycket artrik med flera sällsynta växter och insekter som är viktiga för att kunna bevara den biologiska mångfalden. Idag

In most manufacturing companies, it is necessary to carry inventory to a greater or lesser extent in order to disconnect the activities in the supply chain that are not conducted at the same pace. This way, a smoother flow through the chain, from raw material extraction to arrival at the final customer of a finished product, is facilitated. However, different parts of a company often have conflict

Motivated by the phenomenon of one laptop per child in education at high-school level in the Swedish public sector, this master’s thesis elaborates on the question of ethics in public consumption. My research aims to show that collective actors such as municipalities can be seen as (un)ethical consumers and that they need to become aware of this. What I find problematic is the underlying processes

This paper examines the downward trend in the U.S. labor share of income, which is shown to have declined significantly over the last two decades. This phenomenon is in direct contradiction with standard neoclassical growth theory, which postulates constant factor shares of income. Increased trade with low-income countries, financialization, and the decline of labor unions are some of the explanat

Många personers yrke kräver noggrann rengöring av händer flera gånger dagligen, och det är tydligt att huden tar stryk av detta. En mjukgörande kräm som samtidigt innehåller alkohol för att döda bakterierna hade varit en välkommen lösning för dessa personer. Men för att veta om alkoholen kan påverka krämens stabilitet behöver man veta hur de separata komponenterna samspelar.For personnel working in areas where hand disinfection is important, skin irritation on hands is a large and real problem. A solution may be a hand cream, containing ethanol, with moisturizing properties by using a Pickering emulsion. However, the effect of ethanol on a Pickering emulsion is unknown. The objective of this work was to gain understanding of this by mapping the phase diagram of trigl

In mining for extraction of metals residues are often produced. A frequently produced residue is tailings, which potentially contains high amount of metals, soluble salts and acids. Therefore, it is often necessary to deposit, the tailings in stable impoundments, namely tailings dams, if not all tailings produced is used as backfill in mines. In the construction of the tailings dam in Garpenberg,

The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether tort liability claims against public authorities for breaches of the ECHR can be defined as a constitutional right in Swedish law. The theoretical definition of what constitutes a constitutional right is constructed through elements of Robert Alexy’s A Theory of Constitutional Rights. The theory is applied on the current applicable law regarding the

I detta arbete undersöker jag det allmänna ombudets roll inom socialförsäkringssystemet och hur regeringens styrning av ombudet kan tolkas. Jag undersöker även hur detta förhåller sig till några av de problemen som existerar inom socialförsäkringsrätten idag. Jag diskuterar även hur lagstiftningen kan förändras för att göra det lättare för det allmänna ombudet att lyckas med sitt uppdrag. I undersIn this thesis I examine the role of the General Representative (allmänna ombudet) in the Swedish Social Security Insurance Administration. More specifically, I examine how the role of the general representative relates to some contemporary problems that exist within the social insurance system. Further, I discuss how the legislation can be developed in order to facilitate for the general represen

Den 4 april 2017 utförde den syriska staten en gasattack på staden Khan Sheikhun. Attacken fick omfattande uppmärksamhet i internationell media, och den 7 april 2017 valde USA att avfyra 59 kryssningsrobotar mot flygbasen al-Shayrat, vilken var den flygbas som använts för att genomföra gasattacken. USA sade sig vilja säkerställa att flygbasen inte användes för att utföra ytterligare attacker. Den On the 4th of April 2017, the Syrian government carried out a gas attack on the Syrian city of Khan Shaykun. Three days later, on the 7th of April, the United States launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles from a U.S. vessel in Mediterranean Sea. The missiles where aimed at Shayrat Airbase, which had been used to carry out the gas attack on Khan Sheykun. The U.S. claimed that the attack on Shayrat Ai
