Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Post-resuscitation cardiogenic shock (CS) is a key contributing factor. Targeting a higher arterial carbon dioxide tension may affect AKI after OHCA in patients with or without CS. Methods: Pre-planned exploratory study of a multi-national randomised trial comparing targeted mild hypercapnia o
The global energy transition is not merely a technological shift toward renewable energy but also a transformation of power structures, agency, and governance. As nations and cities implement sustainable energy solutions, both traditional energy actors and new entrants are reshaping participation in the energy sector. Within this evolving context, the smart grid emerges as an arena where these dyn
In 1778, a large bronze bell was cast by royal bellfounder Michael Troschell in Copenhagen. Unlike most of his bells, which were destined for church towers, this one was sent to La Grange, the largest plantation on St. Croix in the Danish West Indies. The bell functioned as an instrument of discipline, structuring the workday for more than a thousand enslaved laborers. This paper explores the plan
Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for quantitative fuel concentration measurements in a combustion engine is a challenging task. Measuring close to the walls of the combustion chamber is even more challenging as both the incident laser light and the signal are strongly reflected on the walls of the combustion chamber. By using a new technique called Structured Laser Illumination Planar Imaging (SLI
In 2010, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) announced a “vision zero” of zero fire deaths in Sweden by 2050. Studies into fire deaths have identified that certain risk groups, including but not limited to older people, are overrepresented in fire death statistics in Sweden. The MSB has developed guidelines for how individualised fire safety (IFS) can be implemented in local communities f
In 2018, an AI system named by its creator DABUS (Device for the Autonomous Bootstrapping of Unified Sentience) was credited by its creator to have independently invented a neural flame and a fractal container. According to its creator, DABUS is a ‘sentient artificial general intelligence can replicate all aspects of human cognition, including perception, creativity, consciousness, and sentience’
This paper demonstrates a method to transform and link textual information scraped from companies' websites to the scientific body of knowledge. The method illustrates the benefit of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in creating links between established economic classification systems with novel and agile constructs that new data sources enable. Therefore, we experimented on the European classifi
Dying in older persons precedes often by a prolonged period of frailty and multimorbidity. The global increase in the aged population means more death at an older age and highlights the need to integrate palliative care in elderly care. Knowledge-based palliative care is lacking outside the specialist units, for which reason there is insufficient access to palliative care for older persons. Thus t
This report considers improvements in Swedish Rescue Service Agency’s obser- vation activity on occurred accidents. A model is constructed to develop the work for observers and decisions-makers.
Den här studien undersökte effekter av en stresshanteringsintervention, som genomfördes med åtta elever på en svensk gymnasieskola under hösten 2015. Hypoteserna inför projektet var att interventionen som varade under åtta veckor skulle ha en positiv effekt på användandet av adaptiva copingstrategier samt reducera upplevd stressnivå och öka självskattad hälsa. De utfallsmått som användes var PerceThis study examined the effects of a stress management intervention that was carried out with eight Swedish high school students (Swedish gymnasium) during the fall semester of 2015. The hypotheses were that the eight week intervention would have a positive impact on the usage of adaptive coping strategies, reduce perceived stress for the participants and increase self-estimated overall health. Th
This report is a fire safety evaluation of Västralid nursing home in Olofström. The object consist of three connected housing bodies, first built in the 1970’s. At first, the buildings were used as regular apartments, but they were converted into nursing apartments for elderly people in the 1990’s. In the report, an analysis of fire scenarios are compared to egress scenarios to evaluate the perso
Purpose of the study – The purpose of the study is to develop a conceptual framework and model for further research, of front-line logistic workers ́ perception of sharing their personal information at their work. Furthermore, the study aims to create a framework for how to study information disclosure programs potential impact on employee turnover when being implemented on intermediate parties, n
Title: The EU Way, or the Huawei? A comparative study of the values projected onto Europe’s 5G network by the Chinese Communist Party and the European Union. The purpose of this investigation is to look closer on the value-tension between the European Union and the Chinese Communist Party regarding which values are present in the official policies of these entities and how these values are projec
The increasingly frequent use of forensic evidence in the prosecution of criminal cases should in the long run result in increased analysis of its effectiveness. To date, such analysis has been limited, most probably due to rights of parties to use forensic evidence to support their respective arguments in cases and the rights of the courts to assess and rely on such evidence in criminal cases. Pr
The thesis starts with a description of the background to the change of the rules on deduction of VAT on mixed use immovable property through the insertion of Article 168a in the RVD. The reason according to the Amendment is to promote equity and to prevent unjustified cash-flow advantages granted to taxable persons who use acquire immovable property, deduct full input VAT and then pay it back o
