BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction may be caused by either pressure or volume overload. RV function is conventionally assessed with echocardiography using tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), RV fractional area change (RVFAC), tricuspid lateral annular systolic velocity (S') and RV index of myocardial performance (RIMP). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with increasing disability and limitations in performance of activities of daily living (ADL) despite availability of effective symptomatic therapy. Following an overview of classical test theory (CTT) and Rasch measurement theory (RMT), the case of a clinical PD trial aiming to demonstrate ADL improvements by using th
Objectives To study the impact of time in therapeutic range (TTR) and international normalised ratio (INR) variability on the risk of thromboembolic events, major bleeding complications and death after mechanical heart valve (MHV) implantation. Additionally, the importance of different target INR levels was elucidated. Methods A retrospective, non-randomised multicentre cohort study including all
Objective: This study assessed the applicability and outcomes of the closure of unused cuffs in branched endovascular aneurysm repair (b-EVAR) of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods: We reviewed b-EVAR procedures at a tertiary referral center to identify patients who underwent incomplete branching and needed closure of the unused branch cuffs. An electronic database and intraoperative and fo
Several risk factors for severe non-proliferative and proliferative retinopathy in type 1 diabetes mellitus have been proposed without explaining the rapid progression of retinopathy in some patients. Since GAD65 autoantibodies (GAD65Abs) are detected against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which is mainly expressed in islets and nervous tissue in type 1 diabetic patients, the aim of the presen
Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper presents an inductorless ultra-low power radio receiver front-end intended for applications such as sensor networks and medical implants. It consists of low noise amplifier, quadrature mixer, and a frequency divider for the generation of quadrature local oscillator signals. The power consumption is just 282μW from a 0.9V supply when it operates in the 915 MHz ISM
Popular science summary: The Battle Against Cancer Daily, people are diagnosed with cancer, a disease that brings suffering and despair. I'm sure you have heard about chemotherapy and radiation as a way of trying to treat cancer, but it is equally important to find an effective method to quickly and reliably detect a tumor at an early stage, before it is too late. In my master's thesis,
The primary rule of absolute duty to prosecute is stated in 20:6 RB. This means that the prosecutor is obliged to engage prosecution when there is sufficient evidence for a conviction. The possibility of waiver of prosecution is stated in 20:7 RB and is an exception from the absolute duty of prosecution. The prosecutor can decide to waive prosecution for minor offense not resulting in any other pe
The aim of this thesis is to examine how the systematic fire protection work in agriculture operation works. E.g., how it should be carried out, what is already done and if there are any areas to improve. This was accomplished by a literature review concerning the risks, statistics, the specific challenges in agriculture and what should be done regarding preventive fire protection work in theory.
Inom byggbranschen råder jargongen 70 vitt och 30 svart. Genom att använda svartarbetskraft sparas mycket pengar in, arbetsavgifter på 30 procent, moms på 25 procent samt inkomstskatt slipper betalas. Detta drabbar de seriösa aktörerna negativt och bidrar negativt till den sunda konkurrensen. De senaste åren har svartarbetet blivit mer organiserat och som en följd har hot, våld och korruption inom
Background: Somali piracy and armed robbery against ships remain to be one of the major global concerns today. Since 2007, over 1,500 piracy and piratical attacks were reported to the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre. These figures were gradually increased over the years, along with the degree of maritime violence. Somali pirates, with the urge of ransom payments, have consequently become more threate

In developing EnergyNet we have leveraged and are extending lessons from telecom's shift from a centralized, circuit-switched phone system to decentralized, packet-switched data networks. EnergyNet utilizes 1) an Energy Router that enforces galvanic separation and utilizes software-controlled energy flows over a DC backplane, 2) Energy Local and Wide Area Networks (ELAN/EWAN) based on DC microgridIn developing EnergyNet we have leveraged and are extending lessons from telecom's shift from a centralized, circuit-switched phone system to decentralized, packet-switched data networks.

Syftet med studien var att utvärdera en metod för golfspelare att hjälpa sig själva till bättre prestationer under tävling. Undersökningen gjordes på 76 tävlingsspelare i golf i åldrarna 17-19 år. Hypotesen var att interventionen, skapad med övningen Three Blessings Exercise som inspiration, skulle leda till ett positivt tankemönster, vilket i sin tur skulle förbättra spelarnas tillstånd och/eller
This study explored the diverse experiences of five transgender individuals during medical gender-affirmation, and captured their active and dynamic strategies for the avoidance of discrimination. The Coordination between Expression and Intelligibility Demands model was developed through informed grounded theory analysis of the data generated in semi-structured interviews. The model reflects the e
