Patients and families facing the end of life deal with constant health changes, making their ongoing involvement in care decisions vital yet often overlooked. The iLIVE project conducted a qualitative study across 10 countries, exploring the experiences of patients, family members, and healthcare professionals, enabling a comprehensive exploration of the experiences of end-of-life decision-making.

Background and ObjectivesEEG is widely used for prediction of neurologic outcome after cardiac arrest. To better understand the relationship between EEG and neuronal injury, we explored the association between EEG and neurofilament light (NfL) as a marker of neuroaxonal injury, evaluated whether highly malignant EEG patterns are reflected by high NfL levels, and explored the association of EEG bac

The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and Notch signaling pathways are crucial for cellular differentiation. In many cases, the two pathways act similarly; for example, to inhibit myogenic differentiation. It is not known whether this inhibition is caused by distinct mechanisms or by an interplay between Notch and BMP signaling. Here we demonstrate that functional Notch signaling is required for BM

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of prostate cancer has been demonstrated to be a safe treatment option capable of inducing tissue necrosis and decrease in prostate specific antigen (PSA). Research groups report on large variations in treatment response, possibly due to biological variations in tissue composition and shortterm response to the therapeutic irradiation. Within our group,

The aim of this paper is to critically examine, discuss, draw conclusions, and come up with ideas how to harmonize GIS education in order to realize the envisaged clientele benefits globally. The paper draws experiences and lessons learnt, with examples from ongoing joint GIS MSc programs/courses being implemented in Mozambique, Rwanda, and Uganda. All the five courses (3 in Uganda, 1 in Mozambiqu

Program/Project Purpose: Increased recognition of the global cancer burden and inequalities in care and outcomes have led to the growing field of global oncology, focused on strengthening health systems to improve cancer prevention and care. Motivated students and trainees are in need of pathways to approach these challenges. In 2012, Harvard Medical students formed Students for Global Oncology (S

The Multi-Grid detector technology has evolved from the proof-of-principle and characterisation stages. Here we report on the performance of the Multi-Grid detector, the MG.CNCS prototype, which has been installed and tested at the Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer, CNCS at SNS. This has allowed a side-by-side comparison to the performance of 3He detectors on an operational instrument. The demonst

Background: Targeted temperature management is recommended after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and may be achieved using a variety of cooling devices. This study was conducted to explore the performance and outcomes for intravascular versus surface devices for targeted temperature management after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Method: A retrospective analysis of data from the Targeted Temperatu

Stellar clusters are highly useful as tools for determination of distances, ages and abundances of heavy elements of galaxies, also at larger distances. Their utility for these purposes has, so far, been severely limited, mainly due to image crowding. The introduction of Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) with full adaptive optics (AO) and near diffraction limited performance should imply a drastic

Radiative lifetimes of 11 levels in Cd I belonging to the 5s5p ¹p^o₁ and 5snd ³D_1,2(n=6-9) and 5sns ³S₁ (n=7,8) series, and of 5 levels of Cd II belonging to the 4d¹⁰5p ²p^o_1/2,3/2, 4d¹⁰6s ²S_1/2, and 4d¹⁰5d ²D_3/2,5/2

The formation, shaping and evolution of galaxies are processes of high interest but poorly known. This is true also for our closest galactic neighbours. Of key importance is a representative sample of all major types of galaxies with solid evolutionary parameters. Stellar clusters are excellent probes of galactic evolution, albeit so far useful at smaller distances only, mainly due to the limiting

Artikeln jämför Norge och Sverige när det gäller facklig anslutning bland arbetare och tjänstemän och analyserar skillnader mellan organisationsmönstrens framväxt. De båda ländernas fackliga organisering sätts också in i ett större internationellt perspektiv.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Del 1. Introduktion I kapitel 1 presenteras arbetets problem, syfte och metod. Det arbete som olika frivilligorganisationer och deras medlemmar utför har de senaste åren uppmärksammats alltmer. Detta ökade intresse finner man såväl i Sverige som internationellt. Fokus i detta arbete riktas mot drivkrafterna bakom frivilligt engagemang. Det övergripande problemet är varfThis thesis focuses on the incitement to commitment and voluntary work. The overall problem is the question why you get involved in voluntary work for an organisation like Lutherhjälpen, the organisation for international development co-operation of the Church of Sweden, one of the largest NGOs of the country. The theoretical perspectives are seen from the position of the increasing pace of change

Popular Abstract in Swedish Detta är en avhandling om hur en del av vårt meningsskapande går till, sedd genom åtta studenters användning av sina kontextuella resurser. Den handlar om hur vi lyssnar till auditiva, visuella och upplevda röster, och hur vi talar med stöd av dessa röster när vi skapar och utvecklar vår egen röst. Detta kallar jag för rapporterat lyssnande, d.v.s. dessa yttranden visarThis thesis has two points of departure and four main purposes. The first point of departure concerns the narrow perspective of the listening skill in Swedish. The first purpose is to show the lack of attention to the listening skill in research and mother tongue education in the Swedish compulsory school. Educational documents from 1842 to 2000 about Swedish as a school subject are examined from

Projekt Turnstone är ett samverkansprojekt delvis finansierat av Europeiska kommissionen. Projektet är ett initiativ av Stockholmspolisens gränsbevakningsenhet. Syftet med Projekt Turnstone är att minska gränsöverskridande brottslighet, förbättra dagligt samarbete mellan gräns, polis och kustbevakare i Östersjöregionen och förbättra säkerheten för passagerare i Östersjöregionen utan att göra avkalProject Turnstone is a collaborative project funded in part by the European Commission. The project is an initiative by the Stockholm Police. The purpose of the project is to improve day-to-day cooperation between border officers in the Baltic Sea region, decrease trans-boundary criminality, and increase security for passengers in the Baltic Sea area without compromising freedom of movement.

Background: Out of Hospital Cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors with ST elevation (STE) with or without shockable rhythms often benefit from coronary angiography (CAG) and, if indicated, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the benefits of CAG and PCI in OHCA survivors with nonshockable rhythms (PEA/asystole) and no STE are debated. Methods: Using the International Cardiac Arrest Registr
