Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in young athletes is rare, with an estimated incidence ranging from 0.1 to 2 per 100,000 per athlete year. The creation of SCA registries can help provide accurate data regarding incidence, treatment, and outcomes and help implement primary or secondary prevention strategies that could change the course of these events. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defi
Genome-wide association studies have identified multiple single-nucleotide polymorphsims (SNPs) associated with prostate cancer (PCa). Although these SNPs have been clearly associated with disease risk, their relationship with clinical outcomes is less clear. Our aim was to assess the frequency of known PCa susceptibility alleles within a single institution ascertainment and to correlate risk alle
Objective: Asthma is divided into various distinct phenotypes on the basis of clinical characteristics, physiological findings, and triggers, and phenotyping is usually performed in a hypothesis-driven univariate manner. However, phenotyping can also be performed using computer algorithms to evaluate hypotheses-free relationships among many clinical and biological characteristics. We aimed to iden
Purpose: The relationship between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and prostate cancer risk remains subject to fundamental disagreements. We hypothesized that the risk of prostate cancer on biopsy for a given PSA level is affected by identifiable characteristics of the cohort under study. Experimental Design: We used data from five European and three U.S. cohorts of men undergoing biopsy for
Background: Menière’s disease is an idiopathic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo lasting more than 20 min, unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, and tinnitus. If vertigo attacks occur frequently, the patient is usually severely incapacitated. Currently, there is no consensus on the treatment of Menière’s disease. The evidence regarding most treatment options is sparse due to
We introduce the Atmospherically Relevant Chemistry and Aerosol box model ARCA box (v.1.2.2). It is a zero-dimensional process model with a focus on atmospheric chemistry and submicron aerosol processes, including cluster formation. A novel feature in the model is its comprehensive graphical user interface, allowing for detailed configuration and documentation of the simulation settings, flexible
The CORDEX Flagship Pilot Study ELVIC (climate Extremes in the Lake VICtoria basin) was recently established to investigate how extreme weather events will evolve in this region of the world and to provide improved information for the climate impact community. Here we assess the added value of the convection-permitting scale simulations on the representation of moist convective systems over and ar
Cancer mortality is exacerbated by late-stage diagnosis. Liquid biopsies based on genomic biomarkers can noninvasively diagnose cancers. However, validation studies have reported ~10% sensitivity to detect stage I cancer in a screening population and specific types, such as brain or genitourinary tumors, remain undetectable. We investigated urine and plasma free glycosaminoglycan profiles (GAGomes
Social gaze has received much attention in social cognition research in both human and non-human animals. Gaze following appears to be a central skill for acquiring social information, such as the location of food and predators, but can also draw attention to important social interactions, which in turn promotes the evolution of more complex socio-cognitive processes such as theory of mind and soc
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and endothelial dysfunction is an early pathogenetic event in the MetS. Lifestyle changes and pharmacological intervention might partly restore endothelial function in MetS. Whereas an optimal non-invasive test for endothelial dysfunction is still being sought, the aim of this study was to assess
I uppsatsen studeras hur ett införande av ett tillräknelighetskrav för psykiskt störda lagöverträdare påverkar det straffrättsliga ansvaret och påföljden. Utgångspunkten är det förslag på tillräcklighetskrav som presenterats i regeringens utredning SOU 2012:17. Förslaget jämförs med den nuvarande lagstiftningen med syftet att undersöka om ett införande är relevant. I det fall en allvarligt psykiThis thesis examines how the introduction of a defence of insanity for mentally ill offenders would affect criminal liability and sentencing. The premise is the proposed defence of insanity which was outlined in the governmental inquiry SOU 2012:17. The proposal is compared with current legislation, and aims to investigate if the adoption of such a policy is pertinent The proposal suggests that
This research is an attempt to critically examine the impact that China’s aid program has had upon IMF conditionality. By building upon the work of Diego Hernandez (2017) who found that with every 1% increase in Chinese aid, the World Bank typically lessens its conditions for market liberalisation and economic transparency by 15%, this paper looks at the background surrounding China’s rise to beco
The Light Dark Matter Experiment (LDMX) is a fixed target experiment that will search for dark matter, but is still in the development phase. An important aspect for the experiment is the discrimination of signal and background events. Here this signal and background discrimination is inspected using a machine learning technique called a Boosted Decision Tree (BDT). This is done using Monte Carlo
Vad publicerar en partiledare på Instagram? En kvalitativ studie av politisk personalisering på Instagram Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka fenomenet Personalisering, i relation till Strategisk Politisk Kommunikation och Sociala medier. Genom en analys av fyra svenska partiledares användande av den sociala medie plattformen Instagram, strävade denna studie efter att finna potentiella temaWhat does a political party leader post on Instagram? A qualitative study of political personalization on Instagram The purpose of this study was to explore the phenomena Personalization in relation to Strategic Political Communication and Social Media. Through an analysis of four Swedish political party leaders usage of the social media platform Instagram, this study aimed to find potential patte
An assessed property value assigned to real estate in Sweden is required by law to represent 75 % of the market value two years prior to the year of taxation. It can be proven that the assessed value differs, when property is subdivided from an agricultural unit to create a single-family house unit. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and explain why assessed values of single-family hous
This analysis examines the correlation between the stringency of environmental policies and the economic output in terms of real GDP. The data is covering real GDP, the stringency of market based as well as non-market based environmental policies, interest rates, total factor productivity and human capital. 33 countries, among the OECD and the BRICS, are being analyzed in the regression model duri
Production and patient safety requirements are high in pharmaceutical industries where standards are set accordingly and controlled by e.g. the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is crucial that these standards are met without compromising the fact that production must run as effectively as possible, i.e. achieve Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), for the pharmaceutical companies to deli
