Stabilitetsmätningar på bihålans storlek och O2-koncentration med hjälp av gasabsorptionsspektroskopi. Mätningar på bihålor med gasabsorptionsspektroskopi är stabila i tiden. Skillnader mellan den högra och vänstra sidan samt skillnader mellan individer har noterats. Bihåleinflammation är en vanlig sjukdom som i 85% av fallen orsakas av virus och i resterande fall av bakterier. Trots detta, försSinusitis is a common disease caused by a virus or bacteria, with 84% to 91% of cases caused by a viral pathogen. However, physicians prescribe antibiotics for this disease in 85% of all cases. GPX Medical is a company working on the development of a medical device which, by means of absorption spectroscopy, can determine whether the disease is caused by virus or bacteria supporting, thus, the doc

Children who are placed in foster care because of neglect or abuse have the right to maintain the relationship with their parents, as per the Swedish LVU law, though this is more often than not a complex feat to achieve. The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that children who are capable of forming their views shall be given the right to express those views freely in all matters affecti

Med åldrande befolkningar, ojämn tillgång till vård och brist på personal står dagens sjukvårdssystem inför många utmaningar. Teknologiska framsteg, särskilt inom artificiell intelligens (AI), har varit en av de främsta drivkrafterna för innovation inom flera industrier. Även om hälso- och sjukvårdssektorn utvecklas långsammare jämfört med andra branscher, finns det stor potential att avlasta vårdWith aging populations, unequal access to care, and shortages of staff, healthcare systems today are facing many challenges. Technology advancements, with artificial intelligence (AI) in particular, have been one of the main drivers of innovation in multiple industries. Although the healthcare sector is moving slower compared to other industries, there is great potential for relieving healthcare w

Metodutveckling i sökandet efter mikroplaster i tarminnehåll från tumlare Ett allt växande problem är ökande mängden mikroplaster i havet och hur de påverkar havslevande organismer. Mikroplast är små plastbitar som är mellan 0,1 - 500 mikrometer. De är uppdelade i primära och sekundära mikroplaster. Det har visat sig att båda typerna ackumuleras och stannar kvar i vattenlevande ekosystem där plasAn ever-growing problem is the increasing amount of microplastics in the sea and how they affect marine organisms. Microplastics are small pieces of plastic that are between 0.1 - 500 micrometres. They are divided into primary and secondary microplastics. Primary microplastics are those plastics that are intentionally produced to be microplastics. Secondary microplastics are generated from larger

Det har sagts att alla arkitekturepoker brukar nå sitt bottenmärke någonstans runt 30 år. Under en praktik på ett arkitektkontor upplevde jag det på egen hand när jag arbetade med ett område i Stockholm. Strategin för området är att riva stora delar av dess bebyggelse från 80- och 90-talet. Jag uppfattar strategin som ett uttryck för en allmän impopularitet av arkitekturen från denna period — den

This essay concerns the complementation of the English emotive verbs like, love, hate and prefer. In English, gerund-participial and infinitival complements often receive semi-synonymous semantic interpretations when complementing emotive verbs. All the while, both complement types supposedly convey separate semantic interpretations, resulting in that they commonly appear in contexts expressing ha

Förlust av biodiversitet är ett av de största globala miljöbetingade problemen idag. Arter står inför ökande och potentiellt synergistiska hot från markomvandling och överexploatering av naturresurser, från globala såväl som lokala socioekonomiska krafter. Populationerna av ryggradsdjur har mellan år 1970 och 2016 visat på en global genomsnittlig minskning på 68 procent. Större djur, s.k. megafaunThe critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) has, due to previous hunting and habitat loss, diminished to a few non-viable and fragmented populations. Despite a relatively large amount of conservation efforts during the last 30 years, numbers are still declining. Accurate numbers today are unknown, since the species is rare. Information indicates that less than 100 indi

Wetlands play a critical role in the global water cycle and ecological health. However, understanding and accurately parameterizing water and heat exchanges in these areas is challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of wetland surfaces. This study extends the maximum entropy production (MEP) model to simulate wetland evapotranspiration (ET) by integrating NDVI dynamics, water evaporation, and p

This dataset presents comprehensive spectroscopic and chromatographic profiling of 27 e-liquid samples including commercial formulations, a booster, and a nicotine solution (the e-liquids were collected in Ampang Jaya, Malaysia before April 2023). Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was performed across the near-, mid-, and far-infrared ranges (6000–80 cm−1), generating unique transmitt

This paper describes a study examining four different GARCH models AR(1)-GARCH(1,1), AR(1)-EGARCH(1,1), AR(1)-APGARCH(1,1) and AR(1)-GJR-GARCH(1,1), and their ability to predict future volatility and thereby providing more reliable estimates for Value-at-Risk. The study is based on daily observations for the return of the OMX Stockholm 30 Index, during the time period 31st December 1996 to 29th De

In this Master´s thesis I deal with the impact of European Community Law on chapter 57 regulations of the Swedish National Income Tax Act, IL, and regulations connected thereto. These rules specifically governs the taxation of shareholders in Swedish closely hold small and medium sized enterprises, SME:s, fåmansföretag. My purpose is thereby to investigate the principal question: whether or not ch

A lysimeter method was evaluated for its suitability in gas emission studies by studying the effect of temperature on CO2 emissions (dark respiration) from cultivated peat soils. The study was carried out with organic soils from two locations in Sweden, a typical cultivated fen peat with low pH and high organic matter content (Orke) and a more uncommon fen peat with high pH and low organic matter

Wetland creation aiming at a simultaneous increase in nutrient retention and species diversity in agricultural landscapes has recently become applied as a catchment-scale compensation measure for past wetland losses. Here, we evaluate if, and to what extend, dual-purpose wetlands benefit local and regional diversity of agricultural landscapes. We analysed composition and alpha, beta, and gamma div

Background The metabolic syndrome (MetS) may contribute to the increased cardiovascular risk in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We examined the association between MetS and disease activity, disease phenotype and corticosteroid exposure over time in patients with SLE. Methods Recently diagnosed (< 15 months) patients with SLE from 30 centres across 11 countries were enrolled into the Systemic

Purpose: Studies of desmopressin in children with primary nocturnal enuresis show a greater than 90% decrease in wet nights in 20% to 30%, a 50% to less than 90% decrease in 20% to 40% and less than a 50% decrease in up to 60%. Insufficient response to desmopressin is attributable to various factors, including differences in the primary nocturnal enuresis definition, underlying bladder dysfunction

Intraductal neoplasms of the pancreas are classified as intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasms (ITPNs) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMNs) in the current WHO classification. ITPN is a rare tumor and there are only a few cases of ITPN reported in the literature. We present the case of an otherwise healthy 42-year-old male, who presented with upper abdominal pain. He was subsequently

Background: Lumbar spine radiography has limited diagnostic value but low radiation dose compared with computed tomography (CT). The average effective radiation dose from lumbar spine radiography is about 1.1 mSv. Low-dose lumbar spine CT may be an alternative to increase the diagnostic value at low radiation dose, around 1 mSv. Purpose: To determine the optimal settings for low-dose lumbar spine

A pulse of respiration is induced by rewetting dry soil. Here we study the microbial responses underlying this pulse of respiration when rewetting soil dried for 4-days or 1-year. In the 4-days dried soil, respiration increased to a maximum rate immediately upon rewetting after which it decreased exponentially. In the 1-year dried soil, respiration also increased immediately, but then remained hig
