Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs in 20–50% of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is also common in adults with CAD, and may contribute to POAF as well to the reoccurrence of AF in patients at long-term.

The criminal policy of the Swedish welfare state was founded on the ideology of treatment and social engineering. Looking at the prison as a training camp helps me to see how the norms are impressed on people,

Aims: The primary aim was to compare 2 years of adjuvant tamoxifen versus no systemic treatment in premenopausal patients with oestrogen receptor (ER)–positive tumours, regarding breast cancer–free interval (BCFi) and distant recurrence–free interval (D-RFi), with 30 years of follow-up and for specified intervals. Moreover, we aimed to investigate the effects of adjuvant tamoxifen on the incidence

A gap in the discourse is the failure to investigate the experiences of widows and how their dis-inheritance affects their livelihoods. The purpose of this study was to find out how inheritance practices affect the livelihoods of widows in Northern Ghana. The study
This paper studies volatility prediction on OMX Stockholm 30, OMX Helsinki 25 and OMX Nordic 40. The models used are a historical variance model, an exponentially weighted moving average model and three models from the GARCH family. These are GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR(1,1), with normal and t-distribution respectively. The volatility for 2008-2013 is forecasted with a rolling window technique
The main purpose of this thesis has been to investigate the possible influence that Origen's eschatology, and above all his teaching of apokatastasis, has had for the Venerable Bede's teachings on postmortem purgation and punishment of the soul. The general question behind the work is what importance Origen's teachings has had for the later doctrine of Purgatory. I have limited the inv
In mining for extraction of metals residues are often produced. A frequently produced residue is tailings, which potentially contains high amount of metals, soluble salts and acids. Therefore, it is often necessary to deposit, the tailings in stable impoundments, namely tailings dams, if not all tailings produced is used as backfill in mines. In the construction of the tailings dam in Garpenberg,
Denna uppsats består av två delar. Den första delen behandlar vad som sker då en likabehandlingsplan på en offentlig myndighet, i detta fall Region Skåne, utökar rättigheter för persongrupper som inte är skyddade enligt lag. Den gör en utblick över internationell rätt och EU-rätt för att söka ytterligare ledning till hur rätten ser ut i ett vidare perspektiv. Då det inte är självklart vad som gäThis essay is divided into two parts. The issue discussed in the first part is what happens when a public authority, in this case Region Skåne, expands their equal treatment plan to cover grounds of discrimination not included in the Swedish Discrimination Act. It also provides an overview of international and EU laws regarding discrimination. The theories of jurist Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld are use

This thesis examines the external energy policy of the European Union in a two-step approach. First, an analysis of the degree of actorness that the EU has achieved in this new policy field is carried out on the basis of the theoretical concept introduced by Bretherton and Vogler. It is argued that the EU only possesses fragmented actorness in all three dimensions examined. Second, this is followe
The connection between human rights and development co-operation in the context of the European Union, which are the matters concerned in this paper, has proven to be both a contentious and complex subject. Human rights and development co-operation are two areas of practice and law, which in the past of the EU has not had an explicit relationship. Over the passed decade or so, the connection betwe

I 24 kap. 10 § a-e IL regleras begränsningen i avdragsrätten för ränta på vissa koncerninterna skulder. Reglerna framarbetades i samband med de av Skatteverkets konstaterade skatteflyktsförfaranden som skedde i anslutning till avdrag för koncerninterna ränteutgifter. Skatteverket har försökt att komma åt transaktionerna genom att tillämpa skatteflyktslagen men har inte haft framgång eftersom skattThe Income Tax Act Chapter 24 Section 10 a-e deals with restrictions of interest deductions for certain dividends.
