OBJECTIVE: Although hospitals have been described as inadequate place for end-of-life care, many deaths still occur in hospital settings. Although patient-reported outcome measures have shown positive effects for patients in need of palliative care, little is known about how to implement them. We aimed to explore the feasibility of a pilot version of an implementation strategy for the Integrated P

Background: In neonates with critical pulmonary stenosis (CPS) or pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS), a nonrestrictive atrial septal defect (ASD) has been speculated to improve the initial clinical course after pulmonary valvotomy (PV) but some concerns exist in terms of its potentially longterm adverse effect on the right ventricle`s (RV) growth and persistent desaturation d

ObjectiveImplementation of patient-reported outcome measures for patients with palliative care needs is characterized by both enablers and barriers. The ways in which healthcare professionals experience the use of assessment tools is important. Our aims were to explore factors contributing to or hindering patients with palliative care needs in assessing their symptoms with the Integrated Palliativ

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for quantitative fuel concentration measurements in a combustion engine is a challenging task. Measuring close to the walls of the combustion chamber is even more challenging as both the incident laser light and the signal are strongly reflected on the walls of the combustion chamber. By using a new technique called Structured Laser Illumination Planar Imaging (SLI

Elemental Carbon (EC) has been in focus for a long time due to its importance for climate effects and human health (WHO / IPCC). The pollutant is released by incomplete combustion of carbon fuels, making road traffic, off-road machinery, and wood stove burning the largest sources of EC emissions. In this work, we investigate the distribution of EC over Denmark using a combination of three models w

The chapter describes five examples of dedicated faculty development trajectories for educational leadership in research-intensive universities, focusing on their nature and effects. After discussing and elaborating on the concept of ‘educational leadership’, the chapter portrays and compares professional development trajectories for educational leadership in five research-intensive universities:

The Value of Information from Bayesian decision theory can be used to drive decisions within the development of new technologies aiding research screening, technology characteristics, and employment optimization. The selection of a specific application of technology leads to the definition of the decision scenario within the Value of Information framework. Technological performance characteristics

We have used approximately 40 fs pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser to investigate the ultrafast energy transfer and relaxation dynamics in the light-harvesting pigment-proteins of photosynthetic purple bacteria. Our results reveal two new features, not earlier observed in light-harvesting pigments: (1) ultrafast relaxation characterized by a time constant of approximately 20 fs, which we interpret a

Background: Many traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment protocols, including the Lund concept, advocate the highest point of the subarachnoid space (typically the vertex) as the zero-reference point for intracranial pressure (ICP) and the level of the right atrium as the zero-reference point for mean arterial blood pressure (MAP). In 2017, at the Department of Neurosurgery in Lund, Sweden, the zer

Meta-analyses are vital for synthesizing evidence in medical research, but conflicts of interest can introduce research bias, undermining the reliability of the synthesized findings. This paper proposes a new robust Bayesian meta-analysis model. The model inflates uncertainty of low-quality studies and incorporates a bias term for studies subject to conflicts of interest. Using a random-effects mo

Early recognition and management of sports-related concussion (SRC), including removal from the sports activity, is essential for player safety and to prevent long-term symptoms. A graduated, stepwise rehabilitation protocol is implemented to allow the athlete to return to sports. In 2022, the 6th international consensus statement on concussion in sports was presented, which has now been adapted t

Jämförelse mellan de nordiska ländernas arbetsmarknadsmodeller och analys av vad som är gemensamt och hur detta påverkar skillnader i facklig organisationsgrad och hur denna utvecklats.

Swedish tragedies from the first half of the eighteenth century often looked at French drama, but there are notable instances where inspiration seems to have come from elsewhere: Erik Wrangel’s Torilla (1738), for example, breaks conventions expected of French theatre by letting princes battle supernatural forces on stage; the story presented in Eric Brander’s Cleopatra (1749) seems familiar from
