Background Exertional breathlessness is a key symptom in cardiorespiratory disease and can be quantified using incremental exercise testing, but its prognostic significance is unknown. We evaluated the ability of abnormally high breathlessness intensity during incremental cycle exercise testing to predict all-cause, respiratory, and cardiac mortality. Study design and methods Longitudinal cohort s

The use of material extrusion (MEX) has increased rapidly due to the affordability of 3D printers. This has led to a growing demand for improved print quality, high fidelity, strength, or fast print times. In this study, a non-planar approach for better surface quality is investigated. The hardware of a 3-axis MEX printer was developed together with testing new software for non-planar slicing. The

Alla dör, men våra upplevelser av livets slut ser olika ut beroende på hur vårt liv och våra relationer sett ut. Denna avhandling undersöker hur genus, ålder och relationer påverkar människors erfarenheter och möjligheter under livets slutskede. I en tid då såväl hälso- och sjukvårdssystemen som informellt vård- och omsorgsgivande är satta under press är det extra viktigt att utveckla kunskap om hThe way that we die and care for the dying today is changing, related to extended life expectancy, neoliberalization, as well as shifting caring roles in relation to gender. In a time of “care crisis”, both formal and informal care resources are under duress, making the question of how to provide “a good death” complex and contested in new ways. Scholars in public health have posited a health prom

Background Studies on the survival of patients with home mechanical ventilation (HMV) are sparse. We aimed to analyse the impact of controlled hypercapnia on survival over 27 years among patients with HMV in Sweden. Study design and methods Population-based cohort study of adult patients starting HMV in the Swedish Registry for Respiratory Failure (Swedevox) during 1996–2022 cross-linked with the

4MOST is a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under construction for ESO's 4m-VISTA telescope at Paranal, Chile. Its key specifications are: a large field of view of 4.4 square degrees, a high multiplex fibre positioner based on the tilting spine principle that positions 2436 science fibres in the focal surface of which 1624 fibres go to two low-resolution optical spectro

Governmental organisations are becoming more critically dependant on IT systems such as communication systems or patient data systems, both for their everyday tasks and their role in crisis relief activities. Therefore it is important for the organisation to analyse the reliability of these systems as part of the organisation’s risk and vulnerability analysis process. This paper presents a practic

Att behålla budgetdisciplin och skapa förutsättningar för långsiktigt god ekonomisk hushållning är en ständigt närvarande utmaning för offentliga organisationer. Den företrädesvis nationalekonomiska forskningensom vi redogör föri denna rapport tyder påatt det är möjligt att förbättra den ekonomiska hushållningen genom att förbättra de regler, procedurer och normer som styr budgetprocessen.Ett fler

This paper discusses the results of a time-dynamic analysis of the possible effects of government and utility-sponsored energy-efficiency programs on electric energy use in Swedish commercial buildings. In the study, which includes efficient lighting, improvements in ventilation, commercial cooling and cooking, we use energy scenarios to analyse how policy measures can effect future energy demand.

Extended abstract Recent studies point at significant and ongoing technology induced changes in the retail landscape, creating new and interesting research avenues, new managerial challenges and a need to rethink existing business models (e.g., Burt and Sparks 2003; Kollmann et al., 2012; Sorescu et al., 2011). This paper aims at contributing to the literature concerning the managerial aspects th

Sammanfattning Enligt svensk rätt krävs det att parterna till en transaktion har vidtagit ett sakrättsligt moment för att en förvärvare av lös egendom ska vara skyddad mot överlåtarens borgenärer. Vilket sakrättsligt moment som uppställs varierar beroende på vilken typ av egendom som transaktionen rör. Vid förvärv av lösöre vinner köparen som huvudregel skydd mot säljarens borgenärer först när vaSummary Swedish law requires that the parties to a transaction have fulfilled a controllable measure in order for a buyer of movable property to obtain protection against the seller’s creditors. What kind of controllable measure that needs to be carried out varies depending on what type of property the transaction concerns. When the purchase concerns chattels the main rule is that the buyer recei

This discussion paper recognizes that the Glasgow Consensus Statement is not optimally useful unless it is disseminated widely. Knowledge and use of the consensus statement and its call for centering humanism in healthcare extend to medical and health organizations and groups beyond the International Conference on Communication in Healthcare and Patient Education and Counseling audiences, to profe

In modern industrialised society prepared meals and eating out of home is an increasing phenomenon. This develops new business opportunities for food manufacturers, since they need to create more convenience to the consumers through food that can be prepared and served quickly. However, the new food products require increased quality and safety and thereby more controlled distribution. The issue i
