BACKGROUND: Atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) reflects longitudinal left ventricular (LV) systolic function, and wall thickening (WT) regional radial LV function. The temporal evolution of these measures after STEMI with CMR has not been evaluated. We aimed to investigate how AVPD and WT are affected globally and regionally from the sub-acute to the chronic phase after ST-elevation myocar
Numerous studies have reported a positive association between ambient fine particles and daily mortality, but little is known about the particle properties or environmental factors that may contribute to these effects. This study assessed potential modification of radon on PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5 ?m)-associated daily mortality in 108 U.S. cities using a two-stag
Abstract: RIS3 is a policy initiative aiming to achieve structural change. Structural change needs to consider the processes and means through which (innovation) policies can facilitate a radical transformation by substantially changing a regional economy’s competitive bases. In this paper, we are interested in studying how certain policy instruments are actually implemented, and how the capabilit
In this thesis we study efficient solvers for space-time discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods (DG-SEM). These discretizations result in fully implicit schemes of variable order in both spatial and temporal directions. The popularity of space-time DG methods has increased in recent years and entropy stable space-time DG-SEM have been constructed for conservation laws, making them interes
Förlust av biologisk mångfald är ett av de största hoten mot ekosystem och derasfunktioner. Nästan 500 arter i den marina miljön i Sverige anses idag vara hotade ellersårbara. En av dessa är Sveriges enda val, tumlaren (Phocoena phocoena), som lever längs hela Sveriges kust och rör sig över stora områden i sin jakt på fisk att äta. Mänsklig påverkan, framför allt genom oavsiktliga bifångster vid gThe harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is a small toothed whale with a mainly coastal distribution in the northern hemisphere. As a marine top predator, the species can act as an indicator for early warning signs of ecosystem changes. At the same time, harbour porpoises are globally threatened by human activities and in need of conservation. Successful protection of harbour porpoises requires un
Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents complex challenges due to its multifactorial nature, poorly understood etiology, and late detection. The mechanisms through which genetic and modifiable risk factors influence disease susceptibility are under intense investigation, with APOE being the major genetic risk factor for late onset AD. Yet the impact of unique risk factors on brain networks is difficult
In the present study, three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS) of experimental ammonia/air premixed jet flames with different turbulent intensities were performed. The DNS results were first compared to the measurements with good agreements. Based on the DNS data, the turbulent flame structure, stabilization mechanism and NO emission characteristics of the flames were investigated. It
Background: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with prostate specific membrane antigen ligands (PSMA) is established for use in primary staging of prostate cancer to screen for metastases. It has also shown promise in local tumor staging, including detection of extraprostatic extension (EPE) and seminal vesicle invasion (SVI). Previous studies have shown high heterogeneity i
Given the important role of the land surface for climate, this study aims at (1) to evaluate the quality of the simulation of surface climate by the land-surface component of the EC-Earth3 ESM and (2) to assess the role of the coupling of the land surface with the atmosphere for the simulation of the surface climate in EC-Earth3. It is based on three simulations with different configurations of th
Aim: Allometric relationships, which describe plant growth patterns shaped by environmental conditions, reflect functional trade-offs and represent key functional traits that optimise adaptation, resource acquisition, stress tolerance and competition. Here, we assess how these allometric relationships and associated functional trade-offs drive ecosystem structure, functioning and competitive inter
BACKGROUND: In contrast with macroorganisms, that show well-documented biogeographical patterns in distribution associated with local adaptation of physiology, behavior and life history, strong biogeographical patterns have not been found for microorganisms, raising questions about what determines their biogeography. Thus far, large-scale biogeographical studies have focused on free-living microbe
Background: Previous studies have shown variations in management routines for children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Sweden. It is unknown if this management has changed after the publication of the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee guidelines in 2016 (SNC16). Also, knowledge of current practice routines may guide development of an efficient implementation strategy for the guidelines. The
I detta arbete undersöks skyddszoner intill skyddade områden i skogsmark, hur de kan uppstå, vilken rättslig grund som finns för dessa samt vilka konsekvenser de kan få för fastighetsägare. Arbetet är avgränsat till att undersöka skyddszoner intill naturreservat, nationalparker samt Natura 2000-områden. Naturvård kopplat till äganderätten i skog är idag ett högaktuellt ämne som bland annat resulteThis master thesis aims to investigate buffer zones in forests close to a protected area; how they can occur and what consequences they may have for landowners. Protection of forests due to high nature values is a highly debated topic in Sweden. The debate has led to a governmental investigation concerning the subject. In order to find real cases where a buffer zone has occurred, Swedish authori
Hur stor makt har egentligen den svenska kungen, och hur har utvecklingen sett ut? Vilka likheter och skillnader finns att se i Danmark? Länderna har en lång historia som monarkier, och utvecklingen har på många sätt skett parallellt. Under 1800-talet gick båda länderna från att vara kungliga envälden till att närma sig en status som fullgoda parlamentariska demokratier. Likheterna som hittas i utHow great are the powers of the Swedish king in reality, and what has the development looked like? Which similarities and differences can be seen in Denmark? The countries have a long history as monarchies, and the development has in many ways taken place in parallel. During the 19th century, both countries transitioned from royal autocracies to approaching a status as fullyfledged parliamentary d
Den negativa påverkan på biologisk mångfald från markanvändning får allt större uppmärksamhet. Det akuta behovet av att minska förlusten av biologisk mångfald kräver omfattande metoder för att bedöma påverkan på biologisk mångfald från produkter och tjänster. Livscykelanalys (LCA) är ett verktyg som används för att stödja beslutsfattande, men inkluderingen av påverkan på biologisk mångfald i LCA äThe negative impact on biodiversity from land use is attracting increasing attention. The urgent need to mitigate biodiversity loss calls for comprehensive methods to assess the biodiversity impact of products and services. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) represents a widely used tool to support decision making, but the inclusion of biodiversity impact in LCA remains under development. This master the
