This manuscript presents the digital hardware realization of a wavelet based event detector for cardiac pacemaker applications. The architecture of the detector is partially folded to minimize hardware cost. An energy model is applied to evaluate the energy efficiency the sub-threshold (sub-VT ) domain. The design is synthesized in 65nm low leakage-high threshold CMOS technology, and it is shown t
Objective: To explore diagnoses of postpartum haemorrhage following vaginal birth, in relation to socio-demographic and obstetrical data from women who gave birth at term, in Sweden, during the years 2005–2015. Study design: A register-based cohort study was carried out, describing and comparing socio-demographic variables, obstetric variables and infant variables in 52 367 cases of diagnosed post
Introduction: This study examined the prevalence of and risk factors for a prolonged passive second stage of labor in nulliparous women. Material and Methods: This was a historical cohort study of all nulliparous women (n = 1131) at two delivery units in Sweden. Maternal and obstetric data were obtained from electronic medical records during 2019. Duration of the passive second stage was measured
BackgroundThe Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is frequently used to measure frailty in critically ill adults. There is wide variation in the approach to analysing the relationship between the CFS score and mortality after admission to the ICU. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of modelling approach on the association between the CFS score and short-term mortality and quantify the prognostic
Background: The role of non-group A streptococci and Fusobacterium necrophorum in pharyngotonsillitis has been disputed and few prospective studies have evaluated the effect of antibiotic treatment. This study uses registry data to investigate the relation between antibiotic prescription for pharyngotonsillitis in primary healthcare and return visits for pharyngotonsillitis, complications, and ton
We aimed to study the incidence, predictors, and outcome of chronic kidney disease (CKD) after heart transplantation (HT). All our HT patients 1988-2010 were considered for inclusion. Of these, 134 came for annual follow-ups including evaluation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using iohexol clearance measurements, and the CKD-EPI (adults) or Schwartz (children) formulae. Median GFR (Q1-Q3)(mL/
SUMMARY: Models of service encounters are often fraught by reductionism, describing business relationships as mathematical combinations of dyadic constellations. Metaphors of ideal social relationships (marriages or friendships) are highlighted to stress normative aspects of equal, balanced and long-term business partnerships. However, these approaches are limited in their analytical sensitivity,
Aims. To compare care recipients' and their relatives' perceptions of quality of care in nursing homes and home-based care. Background. Older people care is increasingly being provided in community care facilities and private homes instead of hospitals. A few studies have compared care recipients' and relatives' perceptions of care quality in nursing homes as opposed to home-based care. Design. Cr
Medverkansansvar inträder när flera personer tillsammans utför otillåtna gärningar. Rättsläget är i stora delar oreglerat, men hänförs till 23 kap. 4 § Brottsbalken (BrB). Om alla personer agerar tillsammans och i samförstånd och utför lika stora delar av gärningen döms de alla som medgärningsmän. Den som inte är gärningsman, men ändå främjat brottet, bedöms som anstiftare eller medhjälpare. GenomThe legal structure of Swedish criminal law when a group of people commits unlawful acts (responsibility for complicity) is largely unregulated but is based in section 4, chapter 24 of the Swedish Penal Code. If these persons perform equal actions in the act and act together and in consensus, they are all liable as co-perpetrators. A person who is less involved, but who has promoted the act, can b
Denna uppsats har haft som syfte att undersöka vad som sker när makars ekonomiska enhet plötsligt upphör genom att en av makarna avlider. Det är många praktiska åtgärder rörande bouppteckning, bodelning och arvskifte som kan försvåras genom gällande lagstiftning. Efterlevande make ärver med försteg framför gemensamma bröstarvingar enligt 3 kap 1 § ÄB. I de fall där det finns särkullbarn eller univThe main purpose of this thesis is to describe what happens when the economic unit of spouses ceases due to death. There are many practical actions regarding estate inventory, division of property and distribution of the estate that are complicated. The surviving spouse inherit his or her spouse’s estates before direct heirs, regulated in ÄB 3rd chapter 1 §, the Swedish inheritance code. Children
Uppsatsen behandlar vilken betydelse FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter bör ha för barn i skoindustrin. För att besvara denna huvudfråga tar uppsatsen upp följande delfrågor: - Hur ser situationen ut när det gäller barnarbete? - Vad är FN:s Barnkonvention? - Vem har ansvar för att Barnkonventionen efterlevs? - Hur och var sker tillverkningen av skor? - Vilka rutiner har skoföretag när det gälThe essay investigates what meaning the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child should have to children in the shoe industry. To be able to answer this main issue the essay is divided into the following sub-categories: - How does the situation look like when it comes to child labour? - What is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child? - Who is responsible for the obse
Free movement of goods is regulated by Article 28 of The EC Treaty. The most important judgments of European Court of Justice (ECJ) in this field are Dassonville, Cassis de Dijon and Keck. The interpretation of Article 28 was very broad in Dassonville and Cassis cases therefore the national rules which were designed for social policy reasons, but not for controlling the trade between Member States
Background/aims: During the last decade, improved neonatal care has resulted in increased survival of the most immature infants and improved health of more mature infants. We hypothesise that this has affected incidence and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), enabling guidelines for screening to be modified. Methods: In Sweden, all infants with gestational age (GA) at birth ≤30 weeks ar
Abstract in Chinese 概述 学校教学最重要目的之一是赋予每个孩子同等的教育. 尽管如此, 学校再创造了社会差异. 先前的研究表明,学生的低下社会经济情况背景与自然学科成绩低下有一定联系. 这样, 不少学生在未来就被排斥在社会高端学科的教育和职业之外. 本篇论文在Bourdieu和Bernstein的理论基础上, 以自然学科课堂的社会阶级为中心, 旨在对小 学生所受的教育存在不等现象提供更多方位描述和更深层的分析. 在人种民族学的启发下, 本论文的数据取自瑞典义务小学八年级物理教室里的观察, 记录, 采访和统计调查. 1. 对教室里现象的描述和分析揭示了知识难度的下降. 这一现象的发生通常是因为自然学科的教学所具有的社会历史传统因素, 学生, 老师和教室里的谈话社交之间有无形的默契, 或被称为隐蔽的磋商, (出发点往往是善良的愿望),教室里形成了对所有学生都不利的知识难度的The overall aim of this thesis was to contribute to a more complex and multi-faceted description and analysis of inequalities in education, focusing on social class in the science classroom. Inspired by an ethnographic approach, the data was produced through observations, field notes, interviews, and a questionnaire in a Swedish compulsory school. The students aged fourteen and fifteen, were follo
Background: The coding of histology of nervous system (NS) tumors with various degrees of malignancies differs between cancer registries, whereby the comparison of incidence rates from one registry to another seems difficult. No study has systematically defined whether the change in the risk of NS tumors upon immigration in adulthood varies by subsite or histology. Therefore, we aimed to address t

Preclinical transplantations using human neuroepithelial stem (NES) cells in spinal cord injury models have exhibited promising results and demonstrated cell integration and functional improvement in transplanted animals. Previous studies have relied on the generation of research grade cell lines in continuous culture. Using fresh cells presents logistic hurdles for clinical transition regarding t
