The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of thrombolysis, complications, and outcomes of PMT first versus catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) first

BACKGROUND: Electronic health records (EHRs) are generated at an ever-increasing rate. EHR trajectories, the temporal aspect of health records, facilitate predicting patients' future health-related risks. It enables healthcare systems to increase the quality of care through early identification and primary prevention. Deep learning techniques have shown great capacity for analyzing complex data an

Background: Chondrocytes are the primary cells responsible for maintaining cartilage integrity and function. Their role in cartilage homeostasis and response to inflammation is crucial for understanding the progression and potential therapeutic interventions for various cartilage-related disorders. Developing an accessible and cost-effective model to generate viable chondrocytes and to assess thei

Most landscapes are comprised of multiple habitat types differing in the biodiversity they contain. This is certainly true for human modified landscapes, which are often a mix of habitats managed with different intensity, semi-natural habitats and even pristine habitats. To understand fundamental questions of how the composition of such landscapes affects biodiversity conservation, and to evaluate

Azo dyes are recalcitrant organic pollutants present in textile industry effluents. Conventional treatment methods to remove them come with a range of disadvantages. Nanoparticles and their nanocomposites offer more efficient, less expensive and easy to handle wastewater treatment alternative. Methods. In this study, nanoparticles of nickel oxide (NiO-NPs), copper oxide (CuO-NPs) and their nanocom

In this research, both experimental test methods and computer models were used to characterise the thermal decomposition processes of selected upholstered furniture component materials, namely; flexible polyurethane foam and a range of different fabric coverings. This was first done at some of the smallest, simplest levels available, and how these materials were tested and the methods chosen to in

Denna uppsats handlar om särskilda problem som kan drabba parterna i en domstolsprocess på grund av att de har olika tillgång till relevant information. Det huvudsakliga föremålet för min undersökning har varit exempel på avtal som används för att komma tillrätta med ett ojämlikt informationsläge innan en process faktiskt inleds. För att ge en bakgrund till de avtalen börjar jag dock med att gå igThis essay deals with specific problems that can affect the parties in court proceedings because they have different degrees of access to relevant information. The main purpose of my investigation was to find examples of contracts used to adress unequalities in the parties’ abilities as it comes to pre-trial information collectio. I begin, however, with a rough sketch of the main features of the r

Dator- och TV-spel är relativt nyligen introducerade och komplext utformade verk, vilket innebär en utmaning avseende upphovsrättsligt skydd. I huvudsak består ett sådant spel av ett flertal olika upphovsrättsliga alster, inkluderande programvaran, som är oupplösligt sammansatta i en och samma produkt. Detta leder till att den upphovsrättsliga klassificeringen varierar beroende på aktuell jurisdikThe video game poses a challenge in terms of copyright protection due to the complexity and novelty of its nature, in essence being comprised of multiple copyrightable elements, resulting in jurisdictionally diverse legal classification and harmonisation within the EU is not yet achieved. As the varying options of copyright classification of video game affects the applicability of EU anti-circumve

Energy use is a topic which is becoming more and more of interest throughout the world. Due to future reduction of the total energy use within the European Union, the permitted energy usage for the building sector is to be reduced. This consequently puts high demands on newly produced buildings, where it is important that both great and small aspects are considered. According to a previous study i

Hur mår Europas befolkning och hur mår den i framtiden? Går det att förutspå var och varför välbefinnandet kan komma att ändras, så att eventuella problem kan förutses och åtgärdas? EU tar befolkningens välbefinnande, eller livskvalitet, på stort allvar och mätningar utförs regelbundet för att ge beslutsfattare ett mått på hur väl den sociala och ekonomiska politiken fungerar. Makroekonomiska storBoth within the EU and within other regions/countries, there is a need to measure and monitor the well-being/Quality of Life (QoL) of people, in order to identify, anticipate, and address potential social or economic problems, at national and regional levels. This study presents a model to quantitatively estimate the spatial well-being (QoL) distribution across the EU-28 member states down to the

When making decisions regarding investments and planning of the distribution network, it is of great help to be able to calculate and analyze the reliability. The main interest is to study how many of the faults occur and the duration of these faults. The software Tekla NIS contains a module for calculation of the reliability of distribution systems, this is also known as reliability based network

More and more findings have been published showing that sedentary behavior is causing health hazards that can be independent of the effects from physical activity. Even if you go to the gym every day you might still suffer health effects from your otherwise sedentary life. Sicknesses as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and back pain are strongly related to the sedentary lifestyle. To instead

I dagens samhälle används stora mängder vatten som måste renas innan det släpps tillbaka ut i naturen. Rening av vattnet sker i avloppsreningsverk som ska minska mängden organiskt material och mängden näringsämnen i vattnet innan det släpps ut. Om vattnet inte renas finns det en risk för negativ påverkan på sjöar och vattendrag, t.ex. övergödning. Fosfor är ett av de näringsämnen som finns i avlWastewater is an excellent source of nutrients and energy. By treating the wastewater in a clever way, it is possible to both recycle nutrients and recover energy, and thereby create opportunities for a sustainable system. In conventional wastewater treatment where the activated sludge process is used, aeration is needed and a lot of biomass is produced. In regions with warmer climate, or if low-v

Management systems need to be able to stay viable in a changing environment and not become counterproductive because the surroundings have changed. The purpose of this study is to create a concept that can act as a foundation for future management systems. This concept should try to help close the gap between how the management systems are intended to be used, versus how they are actually used in

Background: Nolato MediTech AB has an experience-based knowledge of the amount of man-hours needed for its products. In order to calculate the correct cost price for the products and thus the correct price towards its customers, Nolato would like to know the exact amount of man-hours needed for each product. Since resources are expensive and the company is implementing a lean philosophy they would

As our way of living exploits the resources of the earth and our energy use keeps on increasing, we are now facing a climate crisis never seen before in modern time. To face these consequences and try to ease the harm we need to transform our extraction and use of energy. The use of chemical energy carriers and fuel cells offers the possibility of a completely green solution for energy distributio

Den svenska mervärdesskattelagen, ML, stadgar att mervärdesskatt ska beta-las vid omsättning av vara. Ett exempel på när sådan omsättning föreligger är enligt 2 kap. 1 § 1 p. då en vara överlåts mot ersättning. Mot bakgrund av att mervärdesskatterätten i hög utsträckning är unionsrättsligt harmoniserad ska ML tolkas i ljuset av mervärdesskattedirektivet. I direktivet används inte be-greppet omsättThe Swedish Value Added Tax Act provides that VAT must be paid whenever there is a turnover of goods. An example of such turnover is, according to Chapter 2, Section 1(1), when goods are transferred against payment. How-ever, given that VAT law is largely harmonized under EU law, the Swedish Value Added Tax Act must be interpreted in the light of the VAT Directive. The concept of turnover is not u

Potential use of circulating tumor DNA as a biomarker in children’s cancer Pediatric cancer is the second most common cause of death in children in the developed countries, even though a highly improvement in diagnostic tools and treatment strategies occurred in the last decade. Cancer patients have to endure long treatments with many side effects, with possible multiple surgeries, and radiation.

Facebook kan vara ett verktyg för kommuner, regioner och myndigheter (offentlig sektor) att nå ut till medborgare med sin verksamhet. Att producera innehåll på Facebook och administrera en Facebooksida innebär att personuppgifter behandlas, vilket i sin tur innebär att EU:s allmänna dataskyddsförordning blir tillämplig. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utreda och analysera den offentliga sektoFacebook can be a tool for Swedish municipalities, regions, and public authorities (the public sector) to reach out to citizens. Personal data is processed when one administers a Facebook page and produces content on it, which means that the General Data Protection Regulation becomes applicable. The aim of this thesis is to examine and analyse the responsibilities of the public sector on Facebook
