If you live in Sweden (and I guess you do), there is a two in three chance that youhave shopped online at least once in the last month. You may also know that inSweden on average, each of us spends over 3000 SEK per month buying goods andservices online. It is expected that over 2 billion people will be shopping online bythe year 2020, thus generating a global revenue of 4.1 trillion USD. One imag
Purpose: Very old critical ill patients are a rapid expanding group in the ICU. Indications for admission, triage criteria and level of care are frequently discussed for such patients. However, most relevant outcome studies in this group frequently find an increased mortality and a reduced quality of life in survivors. The main objective was to study the impact of frailty compared with other varia
BACKGROUND: The number of intensive care patients aged ≥ 80 years (Very old Intensive Care Patients; VIPs) is growing. VIPs have high mortality and morbidity and the benefits of ICU admission are frequently questioned. Sepsis incidence has risen in recent years and identification of outcomes is of considerable public importance. We aimed to determine whether VIPs admitted for sepsis had different

In today's modern society, there is a trend that different societal functions are more interconnected, both by the use of technology and by shared service providers. The amount of connections in the societal system makes it impossible, without a tool, to take all consequential effects of a perturbation in consideration. The concept of urban flows is previously developed to help resolve this is
This paper presents solutions to the modelling of frequency data of species labels, but the data is incomplete in the sense that some rarely-occurring species labels give zero observed frequency. The data can be modelled by a monotone probability function with parameters to be estimated, and yet, due to the order constraints and the incomplete data, using conventional parameter estimation methods

Abstract in UndeterminedWithin cognitive linguistics, there is an increasing awareness that the study of linguistic phenomena needs to be grounded in usage. Ideally, research in cognitive linguistics should be based on authentic language use, its results should be replicable, and its claims falsifiable. Consequently, more and more studies now turn to corpora as a source of data. While corpus-based
Climate finance constitutes an integral part of the European Union’s climate policy. Yet, climate policy is increasingly addressed by non-environmental institutions. In examining the transfer of climate finance from the Environment Council to the Council for Economic and Financial Affairs (ECOFIN) in spring 2009, I analyse how climate finance has been framed in ECOFIN. Two finance ministerial fram
Change Impact Analysis (CIA) during software evolution of safety-critical systems is a labor-intensive task. Several authors have proposed tool support for CIA, but very few tools were evaluated in industry. We present a case study on ImpRec, a recommendation System for Software Engineering (RSSE), tailored for CIA at a process automation company. ImpRec builds on assisted tracing, using informati
It is commonly believed that the academic sector does not generate enough value for society. This value is often measured in terms of new firms, patents and products, leading to policy responses which aim to enhance ‘commercialisation’ by academics. However, others maintain that academic research generates benefits in many ways, some of which are difficult to measure, and that policy must look bey
