OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy in detecting signs of fetal hypoxia in labour of intermittent (I-group) versus continuous (C-group) electronic fetal monitoring in women with low or moderate risk factors for fetal distress. DESIGN: A prospective, randomised study. SETTING: A tertiary referral centre. SUBJECTS: Four thousand and forty-four parturients at low risk for obstetric complications with
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad framgång är i dagens skandinaviska elitfotbollsklubbar och vilka strategier som är användbara för att uppnå denna. Uppsatsen ämnar således belysa och klargöra de viktigaste aspekterna i en lyckad strategi inom en modern skandinavisk fotbollsklubb. Med denna kunskap har vi för avsikt att återge en bild över hur en elitfotbollsklubb strategiskt bör organiser
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making,
Background: Under inflammatory conditions, T cell-dependent (TD) protein antigens induce proinflammatory T-and B-cell responses. In contrast, tolerance induction by TD antigens without costimulation triggers the development of regulatory T cells. Under both conditions, IgG antibodies are generated, but whether they have different immunoregulatory functions remains elusive. Objective: It was shown
Armlängdsprincipen kan betraktas som en av de mest centrala principerna inom den internationella beskattningsrätten. I OECD:s modellavtal, som ligger till grund för utformningen av bilaterala dubbelbeskattningsavtal, stadgas armlängdsprincipen i artikel 9, den regel som tillåter korrigering av ett företags vinst när interna transaktioner prissatts på ett sätt som inte är armlängdsmässigt. SamtidigThe ALP can be considered one of the most significant principles within international taxation law. It is regulated under article 9 of the OECD MTC, which acts as a model for developing new bilateral tax treaties. According to article 9, the profit of an enterprise may be adjusted if the enterprise has been involved in transactions with an associated enterprise on conditions that are not of an arm
In the existing securities market structure, a securities trade between two parties requires the involvement of several financial intermediaries ensuring the safety of the transaction. However, the complexity of today’s market structure in conjunction with the lack of interoperability between financial data infrastructures and the disalignment of business practices, are causing costs, risks and fr
Anhedoni, minskad motivation att uppleva lust, är associerad med förändringar i belöningssystemet. Belägen i ventrala striatum utgör den bilaterala nucleus accumbens (NAcc) den centrala noden i detta nätverk, där dopamin agerar som huvudsaklig excitatorisk neurotransmitter. Studier med funktionell magnetresonanstomografi (fMRI) har visat att aktiviteten i ventrala striatum minskar under belöningsbAnhedonia, reduced motivation to experience pleasure, is associated with alterations in the circuitry of the reward system. Located in the ventral striatum, the bilateral nucleus accumbens (NAcc) is the central hub of this network where dopamine acts as the main excitatory neurotransmitter. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) found that activity in the ventral striatum is de
OBJECTIVE: Determination of lactate in fetal scalp blood (FBS) during labour has been recognised since the 1970s. The internationally accepted cutoff of >4.8 mmol/l indicating fetal acidosis is exclusive for the point-of-care device (POC) LactatePro™, which is no longer in production. The aim of this study was to establish a new cutoff for scalp lactate based on neonatal outcomes with the use of t
As the new generation of Information Technology is progressing at a rapid pace, with big data establishing a trend in organisations, integration between systems becomes substantial. In this chapter, we particularly look at information security as a system that has become an essential part of Business Intelligence (BI). BI systems represent one type of decision support system (DSS) with a focus on
The role of hybridization in evolution has been debated for more than a century regarding bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) as well as most other organisms. Bryophytes have haplodiplontic life cycles with a dominant haploid generation. Hybridization in bryophytes involves fusion of gametes produced by haploid parental gametophytes of different species. The hybrid is thus the short-liv
My intention with this project was to investigate the possibilities and difficulties with working in Vietnam as a Scandinavian designer. As a means of the investigation I was going to develop products in collaborations with local handicraft manufacturers using locally sourced materials. In the end it turned out to be so much more than only investigating possibilities and difficulties; it turned o
Mörk materia har funnits sedan tidernas begynnelse, från den Stora Smällen. Under Universums första hundratals miljoner år var tyngdkraften från den mörka materian så kraftfull att den drog till sig den vanliga materian, som muskler till revben, och formade gigantiska strukturer. De första galaxerna växte där dessa strängar möttes.Galaxer kolliderade med andra galaxer, och slogs samman för att bil
This paper reconsiders how central banks get involved in the process of determining nominal variables such as market interest rates and inflation rates. It is argued that the traditional story deriving central bank power from its monopoly of issuing base money is flawed. That story - in its various guises - is based on the quantity equation. This equation, however, is only applicable in the hypoth
