The purpose of this studywas to investigate the prognostic value of lactate at admission, 12-h lactate and 12-h lactate clearance for 30-day survival in comatose patients admitted after out of hospi tal cardiac Arrest (OHCA). Although measures of lactate have been successfully implemented in sepsis and trauma care, most OHCA studies are biased due to design and the results are conflicting. This is

This paper presents and assesses the cooling integration of medium size electrical machines with distributed hair-pin type of windings. By introducing a hollow or profiled conductor the generated heat can be removed right where it is created. The cooling duct in conductor that can be connected either to series or parallel cooling flows increases DC resistance up to 1.5 times when comparing commerc

This chapter discusses the tax gap in the Netherlands, access to information needed by the Dutch tax administration, exchange of information between the tax administration of the Netherlands and of other countries, cooperation between the Dutch tax administration and other Dutch law enforcement agencies, cooperative compliance and risk management in the Netherlands, the way the collection of taxes

This paper contains a quantification and decision theoretical optimization of the posterior utilities for several options for monitoring campaigns on the particular case of fatigue life predictions of an orthotropic steel deck. The monitoring campaigns are defined by varying monitoring durations and phases. The decision analysis is performed with real data from the Structural Health Monitoring (SH

Summary Systematic process triage quickens the treatment of the most sick patients Ugeskr Læger 2011;173(40):2490-2493 Systematic process triage is a relatively unknown concept in Denmark. Currently there are no national recommendations regarding triage models for use in the emergency department (ED). Four medium-sized EDs from different regions across the country cooperated in a joint venture to

The TINEL Project is running a series of camps for staff at higher education institution to support them in developing inclusive eLearning. The first camp was conducted face-to-face, but the coronavirus pandemic meant that the second camp was conducted online. This created a case study in inclusive eLearning in itself and allowed us to experience and reflect on the challenges and opportunities of

B Corp certification is considered a viable instrument to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in adopting sustainable practices. However, there is a lack of evidence to what extent this instrument can anchor sustainability at the core of SMEs. This study investigates the B Corp certification process of a SME, a craft brewery in southern Sweden, regarding the extent to which it helped

Multi-Key Homomorphic Signatures (MK-HS) enable clients in a system to sign and upload messages to an untrusted server. At any later point in time, the server can perform a computation C on data provided by t different clients, and return the output y and a short signature σC,y vouching for the correctness of y as the output of the function C on the signed data. Interestingly, MK-HS enable verifie

På flera platser i Södra Sverige avlägsnas dynvegetation från sanddyner utmed kusten för att öka biodiversiteten i sandiga miljöer. På dessa platser sker även morfologiska förändringar, eftersom dynerna inte längre stabiliseras av vegetationen. I den här fallstudien utvärderas effekten av vegetationsborttagning på dynerosion från vind och vågor. Analys av volym- och arktäckningsförändringar visar At several places in South Sweden, dune vegetation is removed from coastal dunes with the purpose to increase biodiversity in sandy habitats. At these sites, also morphological changes take place as the dunes are no longer stabilized by vegetation. In this case study at Ängelholm Beach in South Sweden, the effect of vegetation removal on dune erosion by wind and waves is evaluated. Analyses of vol

We present a novel, integrated microfluidic system based on acoustophoretic cell-handling that detects bacteria in whole blood in less than 2 hours, substantially faster than current standard methods for detection of sepsis-causing bacteria. Bacteria are acoustically separated from 1 ml blood, enriched by acoustic trapping and finally detected using a dry-reagent PCR-chip.

A survey of four co-design tools for joint analysis, simulation, and design of computer-based control systems developed within the Swedish ARTES programme is presented. The tools allow simultaneous treatment of the control aspects and the computing and communication aspects of the control problems. The tools are Jitterbug and TrueTime developed at the Department of Automatic Control LTH, Lund Univ

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och analysera de argument som presenterades i frågan om kvinnlig rösträtt i Sverige under slutet på 1800-talet och fram till dess att den blev verklighet 1919. Detta görs med hjälp av en rättshistorisk metod. För att uppfylla detta syfte har argumenten i de offentliga trycken från den aktuella tiden granskats. Så har även argumenten i den kvinnliga rösträtThe purpose of this thesis is to examine and analyse the arguments presented during the process of woman suffrage in Sweden in the late 19th century up until 1919 when women received the right to vote. The thesis has been written using a legal historical perspective. To achieve the purpose, the arguments in the contemporary legislative proposals has been examined as well as the arguments presented

In recent years the concept of “Blue carbon” has brought attention to the importance of Mangroves, Seagrass and Saltmarsh ecosystems in carbon cycles. Concerns over climate change has had countries commit to decreasing CO2 emissions, often using natural processes to sequester CO2. This trend has often followed a market approach through creating a monetary value and market for CO2. This Climate Fin

En studie om sökta och erhållna belöningar genom användning av Enterprise Social Media: ett medarbetarperspektiv Många anser att ESM har potentialen att både förenkla och förbättra samarbete, och stärka det ”sociala kapitalet”, men ändå misslyckas 80% av implementationerna. Denna studie hoppas ge insikter i vad som driver de som ändå använder ESM, med förhoppningen att bidra till fler lyckade fraA study of the gratifications sought and obtained through using Enterprise Social Media: an employee perspective Although ESM is widely held to have the potential to improve both collaborative efficiency and to strengthen social ties among employees, around 80% of ESM implementations fail. This study aims to provide a clearer understanding of why some people do use ESM, which in turn can lead to

With the rapid production of sportswear and its price advantage, consumption has also increased significantly, which has a rather negative impact on the environment, society, and the economy. Fashion retailers and their consumers are also well aware of this, and their demands for sustainable fashion have had a strong impact on the production of sportswear and consumer behaviour in recent years.
