Grundvattenmodellering används ofta av yrkesverksamma hydrogeologer för att ta fram predikt- ioner som ska fungera som underlag i beslutsfattandeprocesser. I Sverige finns det inga lagar som reglerar hur en grundvattenmodell ska utformas, och de kan se väldigt olika ut. Därför har syftet med detta arbete varit att under- söka svenska grundvattenmodeller skapade av industrin i beslutsändamål under Groundwater modeling is often employed by professional hydrogeologists to make predictions to be used by regulators in decision-making. In Sweden, there are no laws governing the way in which a groundwater model may be created or shaped, and therefore they may differ wildly from one another. Thus, the goal of this study has been to research Swedish groundwater models created by the industry during
Sex-based differences in immune responses are a well-established phenomenon, with males generally displaying stronger innate immunity and females exhibiting enhanced adaptive responses. The androgen receptor (AR) is the main effector of androgen-induced changes in the body through genomic transcription and has been implicated as one of the origins of sex-based differences in immunity. This thesis
Purpose: To investigate how revealing the official secrets in different industries influence consumer trust. Methodology: Primary data were collected through a quantitative consumer survey measuring the impact of revealing an official secret on trust. This was complemented by secondary case analyses of Polestar and Kérastase, supported by relevant literature and industry sources to contextualize
Background Flow cytometric platelet activation has emerged as an alternative diagnostic test for inherited platelet disorders. It is, however, labor intensive and few studies have directly compared the performance of flow cytometric platelet activation (PACT) to light transmission aggregometry (LTA). The aims of this study were 1/ to develop a simplified flow cytometric platelet activation assay u
Objective: Real-life observational report of clinical efficacy of bilateral subthalamic stimulation (STN-DBS), apomorphine (APO), and intrajejunal levodopa infusion (IJLI) on quality of life, motor, and nonmotor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: In this prospective, multicenter, international, real-life cohort observation study of 173 PD patients undergoing STN-DBS (n = 101), IJ
Exposure to some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) increases the risk of cancer and is common, particularly for workers in occupations such as chimney sweeping. In exposed workers, screening of early cancer-related markers provides important information to identify individuals at risk. Here, we aimed to elucidate the associations between PAH exposure and serum levels of cancer-related protein
Objectives To use the estimates from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 to describe patterns of suicide mortality globally, regionally, and for 195 countries and territories by age, sex, and Socio-demographic index, and to describe temporal trends between 1990 and 2016. Design Systematic analysis. Main outcome measures Crude and age standardised rates from suicide mortality and years of life
Introduction The LINC trial evaluated two ALS-CPR algorithms for OHCA patients, consisting of 3 min’ mechanical chest compression (LUCAS) cycles with defibrillation attempt through compressions vs. 2 min’ manual compressions with compression pause for defibrillation. The PARAMEDIC trial, using 2 min’ algorithm found worse outcome for patients with initial VF/VT in the LUCAS group and they received
Congestion is a major limiting factor preventing expansion of renewable energy production in distribution networks. However, with large shares of connected power electronic-interfaced generators in combination with new types of controllable loads, such as electric vehicles (EVs), there is a potential to greatly increase network operation flexibility. Utilising these available flexible resources ef
Background: The Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation requires the establishment of Conditions of Use (CoU) for all exposure scenarios to ensure good communication of safe working practices. Setting CoU requires the risk assessment of all relevant Contributing Scenarios (CSs) in the exposure scenario. A new CS has to be created whenever an Operatio
Large amounts of germline sequencing data have recently become available and we sought to compare these results with population-based family history data. Family studies are able to describe aggregation of any defined cancers in families. The Swedish Family-Cancer Database is the largest of its kind in the world, covering the Swedish families through nearly a century with all cancers in family mem
Background: Welders are exposed to gas and particle emissions that can cause severe lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. It is difficult to detect COPD early and therefore mitigating measures may be delayed. The aim of this study was to investigate lung health in welders and evaluate new sensitive methods with pot
Introduction. The cure rate of early stage Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is excellent; investigating the late effects of treatment is thus important. Esophageal toxicity is a known side effect in patients receiving radiotherapy (RT) to the mediastinum, although little is known of this in HL survivors. This study investigates the dose to the esophagus in the treatment of early stage HL using different RT
Background: Optimizing rectal suction biopsy (RSB) diagnostics in Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) may shorten diagnostic time and prevent need for repeated biopsies. Aim: To explore whether systematic orientation of fresh RSB specimens increased biopsy quality, diagnostic times, diagnostic efficacy, and histopathologic workload, and to explore these outcome measures for aganglionic specimens.
