Popular Abstract in Swedish Förståelse av hjärtats pumpförmåga är av yttersta vikt för att kunna behandla patienter med hjärtsjukdom, framförallt hjärtsvikt. Studier av hjärtat har av naturliga skäl framförallt gjorts med öppen bröstkorg eller med hjärtat uttaget ur kroppen, och detta påverkar hjärtats pumpning. Magnetresonans-kameran gör det möjligt att avbilda hjärtat i alla delar av hjärtcykelnCardiac pumping physiology is important for understanding the pathophysiology of patients with cardiac disease. MRI gives the opportunity to measure volumes and flow non-invasively with high accuracy and precision. This thesis examines some aspects on cardiac pumping physiology. Study I showed that the total heart volume in humans decreases during systole by ~8 % (range 5-11 %), and anatomically i

Popular Abstract in Swedish De svenska framtidsuttrycken (futuralt presens, futuralt skola och futuralt komma) är alla kontextuellt betingade användningar av uttryck som också har andra funktioner. Syftet med min avhandling är att beskriva vilka kontextvillkor som måste vara uppfyllda för att de tre uttrycken ska fungera som framtidsuttryck. I den modell över svenskans temporala system som presentThe main aim of this study is to specify the contextual conditions that apply to the use of the three central expressions for the future in Swedish: the present form and the auxiliaries skola and komma. A tense suffix indicates a temporal domain and states that a mediating element, here called FIX, is placed in the indicated domain. The present suffix points to a domain that overlaps temporally wi

Accelerated cell aging, indexed in peripheral leukocytes by telomere shortness and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by telomerase activity, has been reported in several studies of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the relevance of these peripheral measures for brain indices that are presumably more directly related to MDD pathophysiology is unknown. In this study, we explored

Germ layer formation and primary axis development rely on Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). In Xenopus, the secreted serine protease HtrA1 induces mesoderm and posterior trunk/tail structures by facilitating the spread of FGF signals. Here, we show that the serpin Protease nexin-1 (PN1) is transcriptionally activated by FGF signals, suppresses mesoderm and promotes head development in mRNA-injecte

This case-control study of tobacco smoking and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), emphasizing specific associations with morphologic and cytogenetic subtypes, comprised smoking histories for 333 cases and 351 controls. Smoking status (ever smokers versus life-long non-smokers) showed no evident effect on AML risk. However, an effect of smoking was indicated at high cumulative smoking doses (pack-years)

Frequency domain analysis and design of power systems is complicated in the presence of harmonics, switching dynamics, nonlinearities, unbalances, and for systems with mixed ac/dc dynamics. The reason is that linearization of the system does not lead to a time invariant system, but a system with periodically time varying dynamics, which implies that there is coupling between different frequencies.

Objectives. Accidents in health care, resulting in injury or death to the patient, are a matter of considerable concern. The aim of this study is to examine whether system weaknesses can contribute to these accidents, and if so, how. Design. Eight consecutive accidents reported to the Health Authority in Sweden were analysed using MTO (Man-Technique-Organization) analysis. Setting. Emergency care

Batch processes are becoming more and more important in the chemical process industry, where they are used in the manufacture of specialty materials, which often are highly profitable. Some examples where batch processes are important are the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, polymers, and semiconductors. The focus of this thesis is exception handling and fault detection in batch control. In the

The Gq-coupled 5-hydroxytryptamine 2B (5-HT2B) receptor is known to regulate the proliferation of islet beta cells during pregnancy. However, the role of serotonin in the control of insulin release is still controversial. The aim of the present study was to explore the role of the 5-HT2B receptor in the regulation of insulin secretion in mouse and human islets, as well as in clonal INS-1(832/13) c

In the Lutheran tradition, of which the Church of Sweden is part, the spoken and written word often gets an automatic priority over the experience and perception of artistic expression. As a result, the discourse on the role of aesthetics in liturgical formation has come second to the ongoing discussion about the linguistic and semantic meaning of texts. This thesis wants to contribute to a renewe

Title: A Storytelling and Brand Identity Connection - A multiple case study on companies communicating through storytelling and how it can connect to their brand identity. Date of Seminar: June 2, 2022. Course: BUSN39, Degree Project in Global Marketing. Authors: Erik Andrén and Therese Hermelin. Supervisor: Mats Urde.

Talking about inclusion in the workplace is an emerging concept, and the pressure of committing to work with it rests on the companies. The research conducted around inclusion is growing, and there are different suggestions as to how to define and work with the concept. Moreover, companies are lacking evidence to support how to successfully measure it among employees. By exploring inclusion in a s

Now AI is being used nearly in everything we have. Ranging from hand-wrest watches to household systems used inside houses. According to a report by McKinsey and Co, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to have a significant impact on the economy in the coming years, with the potential to add trillions of dollars annually to the global economy. Furthermore, advances in algorithms and data coll

Lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS) genomgick år 2022 en reform som bland annat innebar en förändring av regleringen för uppsägning på grund av personliga skäl i 7 § LAS. Syftet var att öka förutsebarheten för både arbetsgivare och arbetstagare vid uppsägningar. Med hjälp av rättsdogmatisk metod syftar uppsatsen till att analysera och kartlägga reformen i förhållande till uppsägning på gruThe Employment Protection Act (LAS) underwent a reform in 2022 which, among other things, involved a change in the regulation regarding dismissals on personal grounds in Section 7. The purpose of the reform was to increase predictability for both employers and employees in cases of dismissals. Using a legal dogmatic method, the thesis aims to analyse and map the reform in relation to dismissal on

Research question: To what extent do ROC, EBIT growth, leverage ratio and FCF margin explain variations in stock returns among the 50 largest companies listed on the Stockholm Exchange during the period 2014 - 2024. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the financial ratios ROC, EBIT growth, leverage ratio and FCF-margin and stock price development among the 50

Studiens syfte var att nå en fördjupad förståelse av timeouter i handboll, hur de används och vad som kommuniceras. En fallstudie genomfördes med ett herrhandbollslag i den högsta divisionen i svensk handboll. En kombinerad kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod användes där tränarens kommunikation kategoriserades med hjälp av Hasties (1999) instrument för skattning av tränarkommunikation under timeout.The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of timeouts in handball, how they are used and what is communicated. A case study was performed with a men’s handball team in the top division in Swedish handball. A combined quantitative and qualitative method was used where the coach’s communication was categorized using Hastie’s (1999) instrument for assessment of coach communication
