Background: This study is designed to provide detailed knowledge on cognitive impairment after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and its relation to associated factors, and to validate the neurocognitive screening of the Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest trial (TTM2-trial), assessing effectiveness of targeted temperature management after OHC
Atmospheric inversions have been used for the past two decades to derive large-scale constraints on the sources and sinks of CO2 into the atmosphere. The development of dense in situ surface observation networks, such as ICOS in Europe, enables in theory inversions at a resolution close to the country scale in Europe. This has led to the development of many regional inversion systems capable of as
Sex-based differences in immune responses are a well-established phenomenon, with males generally displaying stronger innate immunity and females exhibiting enhanced adaptive responses. The androgen receptor (AR) is the main effector of androgen-induced changes in the body through genomic transcription and has been implicated as one of the origins of sex-based differences in immunity.

The Maha Oya river mouth, located on the west coast of Sri Lanka, is seasonally closed by a sand bar formed at the river mouth due to little rainfall and thus little river discharge. A new Outlet, located just north of the Maha Oya river mouth, was created by the 2004 tsunami. The Outlet remains open all year because of its location in the lee of an offshore breakwater. When the Maha Oya river mou
Over the last decade the music festival sector grew enormously: in 2008 over a million festivalgoers gathered in the UK to share music and companionship. However in doing so musicfestivals generate large volumes of waste streams and consume large quantities of resources. Amusic festival of more than 40 000 people will produce in the order of 2000 tons of CO2e –with audience transportation and on s
Material contributes to a large share of construction costs and as prices are increasing companies must seek creative solutions and find new approaches in order to find ways of saving money. As a part of a strategic development Peab, one of Sweden’s leading construction- and contractor companies, is making an effort to streamline their purchasing system using the purchasing tool PIA, which digital
During an archaeological excavation in Uppåkra 2010 I found a so-called “guldgubbe”(goldfoilfigure). This find really caught my attention and especially so because their functions are still debated. This master thesis is about the meaning and use of this, more appropriately called, goldfoilfigure. Many attempts to solve the questions surrounding the functions of the figures have been made during t
Uppsatsens huvudsakliga syfte är att utreda om det med härledning till EU-rätten och EUD:s rättspraxis kan utrönas en gränsdragning för när en privatperson till-handahåller tjänster kan anses göra detta i egenskap av en beskattningsbar person och följaktligen faller transaktionen under mervärdesskatterättens tillämpnings-område. Utredningens analytiska utgångspunkt utgår från det ekonomiska sam-liThis essay's main purpose is to examine when a private individual, who provides services, can be considered to do this as a taxable person and therefore falls under the scope of VAT. This survey's analytical starting point is based on the economic concept collaborative consumption. The term describes an economic model which is based on the coordination of individuals' consumption needs
The power systems of drilling rigs have changed considerably since the early days of steam driven machinery. This paper reviews that progression, from mechanical and diesel electric configurations through to modern hybrid and renewable integrated systems, with a focus on the power conversion technologies that enable each stage. Coverage includes the electrical architecture of drilling rig power sy
Background: Progressive respiratory failure is the leading cause of death in patients with severe COVID-19. Histopathological findings in acute severe COVID-19 are foremost based on post-mortem findings. On computed tomography (CT), acute COVID-19 pneumonia is characterized by ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and, later, by a crazy-paving pattern (CPP) and consolidations. Purpose: To investigate if C
Conventional agriculture, dominated by annual crops, has revolutionised food production but also introduced significant environmental and social challenges. Perennial crops offer a promising alternative, with potential benefits for ecosystem services, agricultural sustainability, and food security. Although the environmental benefits of perennial crops, such as the intermediate wheat grass Kernza
The main focus of this case study was to assess ecological succession and restoration success after the removal of Rosa rugosa. Plant species composition and moss presence, bare ground cover, and biodiversity indices were analysed to identify patterns and differences within and between the restored and an invaded adjacent area. The complete absence of R. rugosa in restored plots confirms the effec
The EU Deforestation Regulation marks a major shift in European forest and commoditygovernance by moving from legality-based timber control toward mandatory deforestationfree due diligence. While the regulation is designed to address global deforestation linkedto consumption and trade, its implementation also affects low-deforestation contexts suchas Sweden. This thesis examines how Swedish forest
Degrowth has emerged as a critical framework challenging the dominant assumption that continuous economic growth is necessary for human progress and well-being. While degrowth offers important critiques of capitalist accumulation, ecological destruction, and growth-oriented development, the field has largely been shaped by Western intellectual traditions and policy discourses. It has also yet to e
This thesis examines how British and American media frame the 2021 and 2022 Saudi Arabian Formula 1 Grands Prix. Situated within the growing scholarly debate on sport diplomacy, sportswashing and Western media representation of the Middle East, the study addresses the following research question: How does the British and American media discourse construct and frame the 2021 and 2022 Saudi Arabian
This study examines how idealised expectations of Indonesian civil servants (Aparatur Sipil Negara/ASN) are not simply imposed or internalised but are continuously engaged with and negotiated through everyday discourse. Situated within Indonesia’s ongoing bureaucratic reform agenda, the study focuses on how state-led narratives and employer branding initiatives, particularly the BerAKHLAK core val
This study characterizes the physicochemical properties and evaluates the atmospheric dispersion of radionuclides potentially released from the European Spallation Source (ESS) under a postulated worst-case loss-of-coolant accident scenario. The primary objective was to quantify near-surface air concentrations and deposition. Likely chemical forms were identified through a literature-based evaluat
Archaeology and archaeological sciences are inherently spatial disciplines. Thus, it is of no surprise that GIS (Geographic Information System) has found its way into archaeological practice, providing an environment for data organisation, analysis and visualisation. Over the past few decades, archaeogeophysics has become an integral part of archaeological practice. The results of these studie
