We present an adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin discretization for the solution of porous media flow problems. The considered flows are immiscible and incompressible. The adaptive approach implemented allows for refinement/coarsening in both the element size and the polynomial degree. The method is evaluated using homogeneous and heterogeneous test cases.
Background: Frailty is associated with poor 30-days survival after in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCA). The aim was to assess how pre-arrest frailty was associated with long-term survival, neurological function and patient-reported outcomes in elderly survivors after IHCA. Methods: Patients aged ≥ 65 years with IHCA at Karolinska University Hospital between 2013–2021 were studied. Frailty was asses
Meta-analysis is a statistical method used in evidence synthesis for combining, analyzing and summarizing studies that have the same target endpoint and aims to derive a pooled quantitative estimate using fixed and random effects models or network models. Differences among included studies depend on variations in target populations (ie, heterogeneity) and variations in study quality due to study d
Background: Diagnosing internal herniation (IH) in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients with acute abdominal pain poses a diagnostic challenge. Diagnostic laparoscopy is often required for a definitive diagnosis. We hypothesized that intestinal ischemia biomarkers would aid in the diagnosing of IH. Objectives: To explore intestinal ischemia biomarkers in diagnosing IH. Setting: University Hosp
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to enhance the thermal performance in the labyrinth channel by different ribs shape. The labyrinth channel is a relatively new cooling structure to decrease the temperature near the trailing region of gas turbine. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the geometric similarity, a simplified geometric model is used. The k − ω turbulence model is used to close th
The food industry is actively adopting carbon neutral strategies aligned with the principles of Industry 4.0 to establish long-term goals for reducing carbon emissions and accelerating the transition to a low-carbon food production industry. Industry 4.0, often referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, emphasizes the integration of digital technologies, automation, and data exchange into ma
In this article I call for an awareness of the mobile commons– the informal support that exists among migrating people, NGOs, and activists – in relation to the realization of family reunification. Taking its point of departure in a concrete case of family reunification for young unaccompanied children, the article seeks to expose how the traditional legal notion of the liberal subject fails to pr
Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-related disorder associated with maternal hypertension and placental dysfunction. A significant micronutrient during pregnancy is iron, which is important in cellular functions. While iron absorption increases in pregnancy, little is known about the exact mechanisms regulating maternal iron levels and transfer through the placenta in normal and compli
Research questionDo pregnancies with corpus luteum show different maternal and fetal plasma concentrations of the scavenger proteins haemopexin and α1-microglobulin compared with pregnancies without corpus luteum in preeclampsia?DesignCase-control study of 160 singleton pregnancies: 54 naturally conceived, 50 by IVF after fresh embryo transfer or frozen embryo transfer (FET) in natural cycle (pres
The aim of this chapter is to explore the safety value of implementing Asimov's Laws of Robotics as a future general framework that humans should obey. Asimov formulated laws to make explicit the safeguards of the robots in his stories: (1) A robot may not injure or harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm; (2) A robot must obey the orders given to it by human b
Over the past 50 years there has been an unprecedented increase in pollution globally. Population growth and higher standards of living have resulted in increases in global consumption facilitated by industrialisation and globalisation of goods and services thus resulting in the release of environmental pollutants on a mass scale. This article analyses the effects and consequences of pollution on
Despite a growing body of research on the role of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the local level, knowledge on how they are taken up in local governance processes remains limited. This article contributes to knowledge on SDG implementation by examining how the SDGs can contribute to governance change at the local level. We develop a process-oriented analytical framework that examines
The aim of this study was to describe the extent to which men in psychiatric care have experienced emotional, physical, and sexual abuse during the life course and the association between this experience and being a perpetrator oneself. The aim was also to identify who exposed them to abuse and whether there was an association between the category of abuser and being a perpetrator oneself. A cross
Competing Institutional Logics in Diaconal Work “Institutional logics” is a concept within the context of institutional theory. Institutions can be defined as patterns of activity rooted in material practices and symbolic systems. These institutional orders are all shaped by the history and each of them has a central logic that guides its organizing principles. The institutional logic provides
