We tested the hypothesis that early brain recovery in hypoxic newborn piglets is improved by resuscitating with an O2 supply close to the minimum level required by the newborn piglet brain. Severely hypoxic 2-5-d-old anaesthetized piglets were randomly divided into three resuscitation groups: hypoxaemic (n = 8), 21% O2 (n = 8), and 100% O2 groups (n = 8). The hypoxaemic group was mechanically vent

This paper describes the design, development and characteristics of a tyrosinase (polyphenol oxidase) modified amperometric screen-printed biosensor array, with the enzyme cross-linked in a redox-hydrogel namely the PVI13-dmeOs polymer. Two types of Au-screen-printed four-channel electrode arrays, differing in design and insulating layer, were compared and investigated. Au-, graphite-coated-Au- an

The healthcare environment may seem frightening and overwhelming in times when life-threatening conditions affect a family member or close friend and individuals visit the patient in an ICU. A two-bed patient room was refurbished to enhance the well-being of patients and their families according to the principles of evidence-based design (EBD). No prior research has used the Person-centred Climate

Background: Anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy is a serious and demanding complication. Early detection and treatment can probably prevent clinical deterioration of the patient. We have used early endoscopic assessment and a novel endoscopy score to predict anastomotic complications. Methods: 57 patients planned for Ivor Lewis esophagectomy were included. Endoscopy videos were recorded and bi

A series of iron(IV) oxo complexes, which differ in the donor (CH2py or CH2COO-) cis to the oxo group, three with hemilabile pendant donor/second coordination sphere base/acid arms (pyH/py or ROH), have been prepared in water at pH 2 and 7. The νFe=O values of 832 ± 2 cm-1 indicate similar FeIV=O bond strengths; however, different reactivities toward C-H substrates in water are observed. HAT occur

We present multiband Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the calcium-rich supernova (SN) SN 2019ehk at 276-389 days after explosion. These observations represent the latest B-band to near-IR photometric measurements of a calcium-rich transient to date and allow for the first opportunity to analyze the late-time bolometric evolution of an object in this observational SN class. We find that the late-t

The halotolerant bacterial strain BU-4, isolated from a hypersaline environment, was identified as an exopolysaccharide (EPS) producer. Pretreatment liquids of steam-exploded quinoa stalks and enzymatic hydrolysates of Curupaú sawdust were evaluated as carbon sources for EPS production with the BU-4 strain, and the produced EPS was characterized using FTIR, TGA, and SEM. Cultivation was performed

Svenska elitidrottares mentala träningsvanor undersöktes genom en webbaserad enkätundersökning som besvarades av 47 aktiva idrottare (28 män, 19 kvinnor, ålder 16-37, M=25) inom fotboll, friidrott, handboll, ishockey och tennis. Studien visade att svenska elitidrottare i genomsnitt ägnar 41 minuter i veckan åt olika mentala träningsformer, dock med stor individuell spridning. Mängden mental träninThis paper aimed to study to what extent Swedish elite athletes engage themselves in psychological skills training (PST). The study was conducted through a web-based survey with 47 respondents (28 men, 19 women, age 16-37, M=25) from five sports; handball, ice hockey, soccer, tennis and track and field. The results showed that the athletes spend on average 41 minutes a week on different types of m

Virusinfektioner och Diabetes? Diabetes kännetecknas av konstant förhöjt blodsocker. Sjukdomen ökar i lavinartade former och beskrivs som en av det moderna samhällets stora epidemier. Diabetes förekommer vanligtvis i två huvudsakliga former, typ1 och typ 2. I typ I-diabetes (T1D), som framförallt drabbar barn och ungdomar, har de insulinproducerande beta-cellerna förstörts av kroppens immunförsvType 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an immune-mediated disease where the pancreatic beta cells are selectively destroyed by autoreactive CD8+ T cells. However, the triggering events that eventually leads to autoreactive CD8 T cells infiltrating the pancreatic islets and, subsequently, destroying them still needs to be unveiled. Genetic and epidemiological evidence points to a substantial influence of environ

I kommersiella relationer är det vanligt att kontraktuella rättigheter överlåts till tredje part. Om huvudavtalet innehåller ett skiljeavtal uppstår frågan huruvida de nya parterna automatiskt i och med rättighetsöverlåtelsen är automatiskt bundna även av detta. Den tillträdande avtalsparten har av HD ansetts skiljebunden på grund av rättspolitiska överväganden och principerna i 27 § SkbrL. FråganIn commercial relationships, it is common that contractual rights are transferred to third parties. If the general agreement contains an arbitration agreement, the question arises if the agreement to arbitrate after a transfer of rights becomes automatically binding between the new parties. For instance, The Supreme Court has ruled that the new party is automatically bound due to legal policy cons

Diskussionen gällande ett sedan länge omstritt juridiskt fenomen, aberratio ictus, nådde sin kulmen år 2022. Då beviljade HD prövningstillstånd i ett mål gällande just detta; en person hade förmått en eller flera skyttar att skjuta ihjäl en person varpå gärningsmannen sedan förväxlade måltavlan med en annan. För att ytterligare komplicera en av sin natur redan komplex fråga var personen som iställThe discussion regarding a long-debated legal phenomenon, aberratio ictus, reached its climax in the year of 2022. During that year, the Supreme Court granted leave to appeal in a case concerning just this; an individual had persuaded one or more shooters to kill a person, after which the perpetrator mistakenly confused the target with another person. To further complicate an already complex issue

Denna uppsats undersöker räckvidden av tillämpningsområdet av principen non-refoulement för personer som tvingas migrera på grund av klimatförändringar, genom rättighetskatalogerna ICCPR och EKMR. Ämnet är av stor betydelse eftersom effekterna av klimatförändringarna är beräknade att innebära en tvångsförflyttning av över en miljard människor innan år 2050. Frågan gällande vad dessa personer har fThis thesis examines the scope of non-refoulement under the international human rights instruments ICCPR and ECHR, in cases of climate displacement. This topic is important, as the effects of climate change are predicted to trigger a mass population displacement of over one billion people by the year 2050. This raises the issue of international protection for climate displaced persons, which will

Public diplomacy, public relations, propaganda, and strategic narratives are all under the ‘umbrella’ of soft-power and nowadays’ international relations. Strategic narratives currently represent one of the most essential tools that political actors use to increase their influence on local and foreign audiences, gain public support, and lastly achieve their foreign policy objectives. This disser

I svensk rätt jämställs skiljeförfarandet med domstolsförfarandet och utgör det enda alternativ som också resulterar i en exigibel dom med rättskraft. Ett avtal om skiljeförfarande utgör ett rättegångshinder under förutsättning att det åberopas inför domstol. Om den fråga som anhängiggörs emellertid faller utanför skiljeavtalets tillämpningsområde saknar skiljenämnden behörighet att uppta frågan tIn Swedish law, arbitration is treated as equivalent to general court proceedings and is the only alternative that also results in an enforceable judgment with binding effect. An arbitration agreement constitutes a procedural impediment provided that it is invoked in court. However, if the issue raised falls outside the scope of the arbitration agreement, the arbitral tribunal will not be qualifie
