Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling may aid in planning of invasive interventions in Fontan patients. Clinical application of current CFD techniques is however limited by complexity and long computation times. Therefore, we validated a "lean" CFD method to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and an "established" CFD method, ultimately aiming to reduce complexity to enable predictive CFD durin
Denna uppsats har syftet att analysera huruvida den ökande e-handeln pressar inflationen nedåt. Vi har behandlat och undersökt varierande teorier gällande faktorer som berörs av den ökande e-handeln, främst hur den väntas påverka prissättning och produktivitet genom ökad konkurrens från tre olika nivåer: producent-, konsument- och marknadsnivå. Data har sammanställts till paneldata för 30 europeisThis paper has the purpose of analyzing whether the growing e-commerce is pushing down inflation. We have dealt with theories concerning how e-commerce might affect price setting and increase competition on consumer-, producer-, and market level. Data concerning 30 European countries during a time period between 2002-2014 was set into a panel data and analyzed in an econometric framework. Our resu
Sensing temperature is important for identifying preferable temperatures and avoiding dangerous extremes. The cold pain limit of mammals in general is estimated to approximately 12 °C. I reasoned that such a skin temperature is unlikely to be sustainable in colder climates and studied cold-adapted dogs in northern Sweden using thermography. Skin temperature on the rhinarium (naked nose tip) was 2.
Elastic fibers containing elastin play an important role in tendon functionality, but the knowledge on presence and function of elastin during tendon healing is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate elastin content and distribution in intact and healing Achilles tendons and to understand how elastin influence the viscoelastic properties of tendons. The right Achilles tendon was complet
BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the genetic risk landscape of autoimmune disorders and Parkinson's disease overlap. Additionally, anti-inflammatory medications used to treat RA might influence PD risk.OBJECTIVE: To use a population-based approach to determine if there is an association between pre-occurring rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and later-life risk of Parkinson's disease (PD).METHODS
Extensive diversity has been identified in the human heavy chain immunoglobulin locus, including allelic variation, gene duplication, and insertion/deletion events. Several genes have been suggested to be deleted in many haplotypes. Such findings have commonly been based on inference of the germline repertoire from data sets covering antibody heavy chain encoding transcripts. The inference process
Background: Multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings provide treatment recommendations based on available information and collective decision-making in teams with complementary professions, disciplines and skills. We aimed to map ancillary medical and nonmedical patient information during case presentations and case discussions in MDT meetings in cancer care. Methods: Through a nonparticipant, observ
Importance: Prenatal diagnosis of complex congenital heart defects reduces mortality and morbidity in affected infants. However, fetal echocardiography can be limited by poor acoustic windows, and there is a need for improved diagnostic methods.Objective: To assess the clinical utility of fetal cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in cases in which fetal echocardiography could not visualize a
In this study, a new hybridized machine learning algorithm for urban flood susceptibility mapping, named MultiB-MLPNN, was developed using a multi-boosting technique and MLPNN. The model was tested in Amol City, Iran, a data-scarce city in an ungauged area which is prone to severe flood inundation events and currently lacks flood prevention infrastructure. Performance of the hybridized model was c
This thesis investigates the possibility of the mediated city providing a space for resistance in everyday life in a society where free speech channels are strictly controlled. The case studied in this thesis is the phenomenon of a group of fans of a singer who has been banned by the government in mainland China writing graffiti in public urban space on Rehe Road in Nanjing to express their love a
Med förklaringsbörda avses det förhållandet att den tilltalade underlåter att lämna en förklaring till en viss omständighet och att detta får en för denne oförmånlig bevisverkan. Den laga grunden för att ålägga den tilltalade en förklaringsbörda återfinns dels i RB 35 kap. 1 §, enligt vilken domstolen har att fritt bevisvärdera allt som förekommit i målet, dels i 35 kap. 4 §, enligt vilken domstolThe burden of explanation refers to the situation where the accused omits to explain a given circumstance, which as a result affects the evidentiary effect unfavorably. The legal basis for imposing a burden of explanation on the accused is found in Chapter 35, Section 1 and 4 of the Swedish Code for Judicial Procedure. Section 1 states that the court is free to evaluate everything that has occurre
It is becoming increasingly common for corporations to seek impact in society alongside profit and it is often argued that corporations should collaborate with startups. By collaborating with impact accelerators, intermediary organisations that support impact startups, corporations can gain access to innovation whilst having a positive impact on society and the environment. The purpose of this s
Det kan anses otillfredsställande att döma den som har haft en central och avgörande roll i brottet, även utan fysisk närvaro och fysiskt bidrag vid brottstillfället, som medverkande. Varken den svenska lagstiftaren eller rättspraxis har ställt upp tydliga kriterier för (med)gärningsmannaskap. I NJA 2006 s. 535 gjorde Högsta domstolen ett varsamt försök att uppställa vissa kriterier/utgångspunkterThe Swedish law has not set forth any evident and accurate criteria for (co-)perpetration. The minimum requirement for (co-)perpetration in Swedish law is support/encouragement and a decisive influence on the occurrence of the crime. Should the person who is the “mastermind” behind the crime but is not physically present or hasn’t physically contributed at the commission of the crime be regarded a
The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers who work with assessing financial aid in the social services experience their dual role as supporter and controller when they suspect their clients of social assistance fraud. Even how this affects the relationship with the clients is studied. To conduct this study, I chose a qualitative method in the form of interviews. The selection was
The aim of this study is to examine how dynamic way-finding systems affect risk perception for evacuating people. This was done by examining how perceived risk, choice of exit and emotional factors were affected in an evacuation experiment performed in Virtual Reality. Two scenarios were created for the experiments, one with a dynamic way-finding system and one with a static evacuation system. Thi
Sättet som världen presenterar sig för våra sinnesorgan är genom en kontinuerlig ström av information, men vår upplevelse av den är uppdelad i diskreta händelser. Enligt eventsegmenteringsteorin är den här segmenteringen en inbyggd och automatisk del av mänsklig kognition. Omfattande forskning ger inte bara stöd åt den här teorin utan tyder också på att sättet vi delar upp händelser påverkar vårt The world presents itself to our sense organs as a continuous stream of input, yet we appear to conceive experiences in terms of discrete events. According to event segmentation theory, this segmentation is an intrinsic and automatic component of human cognition. A considerable body of research provides evidence for this claim and suggests further that the way we segment events has consequences fo
Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka barns förståelse för empatiska reaktioners relationella innebörd och om denna skiljer sig beroende på ålder, samt undersöka om samband fanns mellan denna förmåga och förmåga till socialt perspektivtagande. Undersökningen jämförde barn i grundskolans årskurs 2 (n = 15, M = 8:7 år), årskurs 5 (n = 17, M = 11:8 år) och årskurs 8 (n = 13, M = 14:10 åThis cross-sectional study explored children’s understanding of empathic reactions relational meaning and if this understanding increases with age. It also explored an association between this ability and ability for social perspective taking. Comparisons were made between second graders (n = 15, M = 8:7 years), fifth graders (n = 17, M = 11:8 years) and eighth graders (n = 13, M = 14:10 years). T
This paper aims to explore the role of the Syrian civil society in the ongoing conflict from the concept of transitional justice. Broadening the civil society understanding provides a tool to approach the overlooked social capital in the Syrian society. Exploring the approach from non-profit groups to victims, I aim to understand a possible approach to transitional justice in Syria. I argue for th
This master thesis aims to gain an understanding about how managers and members in an organization perceive observed employee silence (intentional withholding ideas at work) and attribute meanings to it. In addition, it aims to reveal, in what situations observers are not able to identify the intentional silence. Organizational culture, sensemaking and power relations and U-turn in criticism are t
A growing body of research supports stromal tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) density in breast cancer to be a robust prognostic and predicive biomarker. The gold standard for stromal TIL density quantitation in breast cancer is pathologist visual assessment using haematoxylin and eosin-stained slides. Artificial intelligence/machine-learning algorithms are in development to automate the stroma
