We consider the process 00 within the quark model. We find small corrections to the lowest-order result obtained from chiral loops. These corrections are very similar to those found in vector-meson-dominated models, and too small to be tested with the present data. We use this result, together with a simple pole model, to find the amplitude for KL0 and use this to estimate the CP-conserving part o
AbstractBackgroundSepsis is a syndrome difficult to diagnose and stratify. The epidemiology of sepsis and consistency of criteria fulfillment with diagnosis coding in Swedish intensive care units (ICU) are largely unknown. Biomarkers can be of help to understand pathophysiology, identify clusters within sepsis and to individualize treatment.AimThe overarching aim of this thesis was to explore how
Objectives: To study the agreement between clinical axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) diagnoses and fulfilment of the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) axSpA and modified New York (mNY) classification criteria, and to compare disease/health status between axSpA subtypes. Method: Patients with prevalent, clinical axSpA attending a rheumatology clinic were enrolled in a cros
Background: The treatment strategy for proximal aortic disease or type I endoleak after previous infrarenal repair has traditionally been open surgery. As endovascular treatment options with fenestrated and branched stent grafts increasingly rival open surgery for juxtarenal and pararenal aortic aneurysms, secondary proximal repair may similarly be performed endovascularly. Fenestrated stent graft
Aim: To determine whether pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 levels are increased in early pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes and whether gestation age influences levels. The possible use of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 as a pre-screening biomarker to reduce the need for performing oral glucose tolerance tests in pregnant women was also investigated. Methods: Pregnant wo
When writing computer software one is often forced to balance the need for high run-time performance with high programmer productivity. By using a high-level language it is often possible to cut development times, but this typically comes at the cost of reduced run-time performance. Using a lower-level language, programs can be made very efficient but at the cost of increased development time. Re
Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda vilken betydelse erkännandet har i brottmålsprocessen i Sverige. Uppsatsens fyra frågeställningar utgör ramen, och innefattar såväl en allmän del om bevisprövning som en djupdykning i erkännandets prövning och styrka som bevis. I uppsatsen används huvudsakligen rättsdogmatisk metod. Dock görs även en undersökning av sex omtalade tingsrättsdomar för att se hur pThis essay aims to study the importance of confessions in Swedish criminal law procedure. The essay consists of a general overview of the court’s evaluation of evidence as well as an examination of how the courts perceive confessions and the strength of a confession as evidence. Six renowned district court rulings have been analyzed to see how the law is applied. Since this area is largely unregul
Thesis purpose: The purpose of the present master thesis is to examine if new ideas generated in an organization are able to change its business model, thus leading to business model renewal. For that reason the way an organization can be creative is going to be examined, focusing on the result that the application of an idea had, investigating possible connections between new ideas and the renewa
Popular science This study describes the development and implementation of a Photo Voltaic (PV)Roof Integration Analysis Tool integrated into a GIS system in order to be used in conducting research within alternative energy field. This study focuses on the Dokki district in Greater Cairo that was used as a case for developing the idea of a tool to assess the possibility of the roofs of existing bu
Unsustainable consumption and production patterns is one of the main contributors to environmental degradation and one of the key areas are food consumption together with housing and transport. Because of the retailers strategic position between the consumers and producers they are appointed a key role in the transition to more sustainable consumption. The purpose of this study is to contribute to
Capacity Development is considered a vital tool for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda. However, evidence suggests limited effectiveness of capacity development efforts so far, both in development cooperation and for disaster risk reduction. Motivated by the research gap on the topic, the study’s purpose is to explore and describe the current challenges and opportunities for capacity development,
Purpose: Investigate the relation between block ownership and stock liquidity. Methodology: The empirical methods used in this project are of quantitative nature. We use a set of dependent variables representing liquidity measures in order to test how our main explanatory variable, sum of block holdings, affect this. Furthermore, control variables such as market capitalization, share price and vo
Background: The goal of clinical computed tomography (CT) is to produce images of diagnostic quality using the lowest possible radiation exposure. Degradation of image quality, with increased image noise and reduced spatial resolution, is a major limitation for radiation dose reduction in CT. This can be counteracted with new post-processing image filters and iterative reconstruction (IR) algorith
ABSTRACT Author: Oras Jacobs Title: The chameleon in the hospitals - a study based on hospital welfare officers experiences and strategies. Supervisor: Tabitha Wright Nielsen Assessor: Gunilla Lindén The purpose of this paper is to investigate how hospital welfare officers experience their role and the strategies applied to establish themselves. With the aim of answering these questions, six
This study aims to present different factors influencing growth comparing Innovative Gazelles and other average SMEs. In addition, this study will investigate relevance of factors fostering innovation in high-growing SMEs in a cross-country perspective in order to show how Innovative Gazelles differ from SMEs in general. The study applies qualitative approach of multi case study, which will be con
Runt om i den Europeiska unionen (EU) utnyttjas den fria rörligheten i större utsträckning än tidigare. Företag flyttar över nationsgränserna och med företagen kommer arbetstagarna och deras familjer. Idag sträcker sig allt fler familjeband över nationsgränserna och i och med det har också familjerätten tagit steget från att ha varit nationell till att bli allt mer internationell. Inom EU finns Within the European Union (EU), the freedom of movement guaranteed in the Treaties has increased significantly the last decade. Companies may move their establishment from one Member State to another and with the companies, the employees and their families follow. An effect of the integration within the European Union is a high level of cross-border family relationships. As a result, family law ha
Recently the question of agriculture development has been emphasised as an important part of balanced sustainable growth in China. My paper accounts for different growth trajectories and development pace between coastal regions and inland provinces. My interest is more convergence-divergence between agriculture development in different regions than convergence-divergence between rural and urban ar
