Since the middle of the nineties, the amount of Regional Trade Agreements has risen sharply. This have created more opportunities for countries to join world trading and be more connected to the rest of the world. However, each trade agreement is unique and it is therefore interesting to evaluate if there are factors that are more important than others. This paper will be looking at combined GDP a

When transmitting data it is often desired to lower the bitrate in the transmission. In video capture devices, such as video cameras, with a high resolution and high capturing rate the bitrate in the transmission is high and it is often desired to lower this bitrate. Some of the constraints that were put on the compression techniques was that no information could be lost in the compression, no sig

The Burkini, a swimwear that covers the entire body except but the face, hands and feet, was banned from French beaches in 2016 and created a heated debate in French and international media. This study focuses on the politics of the Burkini, where politicians’ arguments against the Burkini are divided into three major themes: (1) the Burkini as oppressive, (2) the Burkini as a threat to the social

Environmental degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change are critical issues currently facing modern society; in order to mitigate against further damage and in attempt to reverse human-induced effects, a paradigmatic shift is required. Sustainable development functions as the dominant discourse in guiding such mechanisms as the circular economy in achieving the conservation of the planet.

Objective: To explore diagnoses of postpartum haemorrhage following vaginal birth, in relation to socio-demographic and obstetrical data from women who gave birth at term, in Sweden, during the years 2005–2015. Study design: A register-based cohort study was carried out, describing and comparing socio-demographic variables, obstetric variables and infant variables in 52 367 cases of diagnosed post

The effect of friction between the dowel and the surrounding timber was studied for single dowel-type joints. The joints tested were divided into two groups of joints, where the surface of the dowels differed. For the first group, the dowels had a smooth surface and for the second group the dowels had a rough surface. A contactfree measurement technique was used in the experimental investigatio

Respiratory minute volumes and instantaneous breath flow rates were measured in 8 subjects during treadmill work using (a) a particle filter respirator(Sundstroem SR200) and (b) a control breathing mask (Metamax I, Cortex). Work comprised five consecutive bouts of walking at 5 km/h with an increase in elevation of the treadmill by 5 % every 5 minutes. Minute ventilationincreased in a curvilinear m

This dissertation deals with the educational discourse of the military government in Argentina during the years 1976-1983. In March 1976, the army assumed power through a coup d´état. The intervention was carried out in the name of Order, i. e. to save the country from the crisis in which it was immersed. Through the Proceso de Reorganization Nacional they attempted to restore order and discipline

The development of advanced computational fluid dynamic codes for turbine design does not substitute the importance of mean-line codes. Turbine design involves mean-line design, through-flow design, airfoil design, and finally 3D viscous modeling. The preliminary mean-line design continues to play an important role in early design stages. The aim of this paper was to present the methodology of mea

Patients and Interventions. Tissue damage caused by brain retraction was evaluated utilizing intracerebral microdialysis in six patients operated on subfrontally for pituitary adenoma. The microdialysis probes (membrane length 10 mm, cut-off 20 kDalton) were placed in cerebral cortex beneath the brain retractor and perfused with Ringer solution at 0.3 mul/min. The microdialysis vials were changed

CONTEXT: Early prediction of dysglycemia is crucial to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes. The 1-hour postload plasma glucose (PG) is reported to be a better predictor of dysglycemia than fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour PG, or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the predictive performance of clinical markers, metabolites, HbA1c, and PG and serum insulin (INS) levels during

Background: The coding of histology of nervous system (NS) tumors with various degrees of malignancies differs between cancer registries, whereby the comparison of incidence rates from one registry to another seems difficult. No study has systematically defined whether the change in the risk of NS tumors upon immigration in adulthood varies by subsite or histology. Therefore, we aimed to address t

Background and objectives: Neuroinflammation is implicated in the development and maintenance of persistent pain states, but there is limited data linking cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammatory mediators with neurophysiological pain processes in humans. Study I aimed to investigate whether there are coherent changes in CSF inflammation associated with central sensitization (CS), and to evaluate po

Background: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a form of behavioural therapy for tics; however, its effectiveness remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of internet-delivered, therapist-supported, and parent-assisted ERP for treatment of tics in children and young people with Tourette syndrome or chronic tic disorder. Methods: This multicentre, parallel group, single-blin

Importance: Recent studies have questioned the presumed low-risk status of patients with asymptomatic nonsevere aortic stenosis (AS). Whether annual N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) measurements are useful for risk assessment is unknown. Objective: To assess the association of annual NT-proBNP measurements with clinical outcomes in patients with nonsevere AS. Design, Setting, a

However, challenges encountered during societal crises can significantly impact opportunities for participation and engagement among AT users. Understanding the implications of crises and disasters on AT provision along with their repercussions for end users is crucial.

IMPORTANCE: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening has potential to reduce prostate cancer mortality but frequently detects prostate cancer that is not clinically important.OBJECTIVE: To describe rates of low-grade (grade group 1) and high-grade (grade groups 2-5) prostate cancer identified among men invited to participate in a prostate cancer screening protocol consisting of a PSA test, a 4-ka

Managing the resources of a virtualized data-center is a key issue in cloud computing. Existing research mostly assumes that applications are either allocated the required resources or fail. Combined with the fact that most cloud applications have dynamic resource requirements, this imposes a fundamental limitation to cloud computing: To guarantee on-demand resource allocations, the data-center ne
