Bakgrund: Oavsiktlig anestesiutlöst hypotermi är mycket vanligt under den perioperativa processen. Hypotermi ger en ökad risk för komplikationer som ökad blödning, infektioner i operationsområdet och obehag för patienten. Syfte: Syftet är att i en systematisk litteraturstudie granska och sammanställa forskningen kring förvärmning med varmluftstäcke innan ankomst till operationsavdelningen och de

58 million children around the world lack access to education, and another 250 million children only have access to unfit schools with poor quality. Through interviews with volunteer teachers and social workers conducted during three weeks of fieldwork in Tehran, this study maps the educational situation of undocumented Afghan migrant children living in Iran, in order to understand the role of edu
The purpose of this thesis was to explore the Swedish pharmacy market and the potential influence different levels of legal pressure have on sustainability reporting. Interviews with pharmacy representatives and document analysis of sustainability reports and policies were combined, grounded in a constructivist perspective to analyze incentives for sustainability reporting. The data collected was
Denna uppsats undersöker översättning och lokalisering av dataspel för den svenska marknaden. Studien utförs mot bakgrund av att engelskan har en mycket stark ställning i Sverige och inom dataspelsgenren. Uppsatsen bygger på en korpus som består av 104 dataspel som har sålts i Sverige åren 2009-2015, vilka har hämtats från försäljningsstatistik som finns tillgänglig från organisationen Dataspelsbr
Policy Coherence for Development is a concept, framework and tool for achieving a more effective and organized global development agenda. Under the principles of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD), the potential conflicts of objectives between various policy areas should be identified and preferably resolved – with developmental objectives in mind. The PCD has named some policy areas as “expec
Omfattande organisationsförändingar har lett till att en av verksamhetsgrenarna inom Skanska Sverige AB fått nya förutsättningar för sina chefsroller. Syftet med studien var att skapa en bild av hur förutsättningarna för karriärutveckling såg ut inom ett antal chefsroller i verksamhetsgrenen Asfalt och Betong inom Skanska Sverige AB och på så sätt bidra till en ökad förståelse för processerna av k
Based on a qualitative approach, this study examines and problematizes how employees in a flexible organization, through the internal communication community, consolidate and renegotiate the organization's identity. Furthermore, it creates an understanding of the flexible employees ability to co-create, and their view on the importance of being able to identify themselves with the organization
We study and solve the previously unstudied problem of finding both transmitter and receiver positions using only time of arrival (TOA) measurements when there is a difference in dimensionality between the affine subspaces spanned by receivers and transmitters. Anchor-free TOA network calibration has uses both in radio, radio strength and sound applications, such as calibrating ad hoc microphone a
Understanding the uncertainty of climate models in space and time is necessary to help water resources managers and hydrologists in the selection of appropriate model for a specific application. In this paper, we use three separate methods to evaluate and compare the utility of 14 climate models for seven basins with area range of 2,656–26,355 km2 on the South Korean Peninsula. On the one hand, th
The aim of this study was to evaluate how the fixed furniture dimensions match with students' anthropometry and to describe head, upper back and upper limbs postures and movements. Evaluation was performed in 48 students from a Brazilian state school. Furniture dimensions were measured with metric tape, movements and postures by inclinometers (Logger Tecknologi, Akarp, Sweden). Seat height was hig
An activity-based vocabulary for Voice Output Communication Aids (VOCAs) was designed and evaluated through a user-centred, iterative design process, using expressions from the Gothenburg Spoken Language Corpus as well as other recorded, natural conversations. The growth and development of the vocabulary, called Phrases, was closely linked to its evaluation. The iterative design process included p
Service discovery is central in pervasive middleware systems, built on top of the communication substrate using the more fundamental mechanisms for device discovery. In mobile pervasive systems devices come and go, and switch network frequently, demanding support for device discovery across heterogeneous networks. We present the design of a device discovery mechanism for the PalCom middleware that
A pulse of respiration is induced by rewetting dry soil. Here we study the microbial responses underlying this pulse of respiration when rewetting soil dried for 4-days or 1-year. In the 4-days dried soil, respiration increased to a maximum rate immediately upon rewetting after which it decreased exponentially. In the 1-year dried soil, respiration also increased immediately, but then remained hig
The results of a search for an excited bottom-quark b* in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV, using 4.7 fb(-1) of data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC are presented. In the model studied, a single b*-quark is produced through a chromomagnetic interaction and subsequently decays to a W boson and a top quark. The search is performed in the dilepton and lepton + jets final states, which are c
Experimental single-phase, condensation, and evaporation (flow boiling) pressure drop data from the literature and our previous studies were collected to evaluate previous frictional pressure drop correlations for horizontal microfin tubes of different geometries. The modified Ravigururajan and Bergles correlation, by adopting the Churchill model to calculate the smooth-tube friction factor and by
This paper explores a global trend where universities are collaborating with local government, industry and civic organisations to advance the sustainable transformation of a specific town, city or region. With empirical evidence, we argue that this function of ‘cocreation for sustainability’ could be interpreted as the seeds of an emerging, new mission for the university. We demonstrate that this
Rating scales are increasingly the primary outcome measures in clinical trials. However, clinically meaningful interpretation of such outcomes requires that the scales used satisfy basic requirements (scaling assumptions) within the data. These are rarely tested. The SF-36 is the most widely used patient-reported rating scale. Its scaling assumptions have been challenged in neurological disorders
The management of minor and moderate head trauma in children differs widely between countries. Presently, there are no existing guidelines for management of these children in Scandinavia. The purpose of this study was to produce new evidence-based guidelines for the initial management of head trauma in the paediatric population in Scandinavia. The primary aim was to detect all children in need of
