On August 7, 2020, the number 2 figure in al-Qaeda, Abdullah Ahmad Abdullah (known as Abu Muhammad al-Masri), was gunned down in Tehran. Al-Masri’s very presence in Iran exhibited the close relationship Tehran has with the Sunni terrorist organization, and his slaying shows the weakness of Iranian counterintelligence. The regime’s frustration at this intelligence failure will likely be expressed t
Aim: To explore if electrographic status epilepticus (ESE) after cardiac arrest causes additional secondary brain injury reflected by serum levels of two novel biomarkers of brain injury: neurofilament light chain (NfL) originating from neurons and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) from glial cells. Methods: Simplified continuous EEG (cEEG) and serum levels of NfL and GFAP, sampled at 24, 48
Emplacement of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) is thought to have triggered global environmental changes and the end-Triassic mass extinction (ETE). However, the mechanisms linking volcanism and environmental change are unclear. Here we provide new insight into these linkages by measuring the abundance of both sedimentary five- to six-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and
We previously reported that loss of mitochondrial transcription factor B1 (TFB1M) leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and is involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Whether defects in ribosomal processing impact mitochondrial function and could play a pathogenetic role in β-cells and T2D is not known. To this end, we explored expression and the functional role of dimethyladenosine tr
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
As an ambition to stress the construction of an external and an internal dimension within law I have chosen to study the non-pecuniary damages to victims of crime. The foundation for these damages came from the deep structure of law about the idea that the right to integrity of the human body and soul are one of the corner- stones in the state governed by law. But when it comes to estimating the a
In this article the medialization of everyday life is discussed, as it appears in the norwegian novelist Jan Kjaerstads "Förföraren" (The Seducer). I mainly focus upon the intermedia aspects between literature and other art and media forms, such as TV, film, music, etc. Another aspect discussed in the article is the cluster of connections between Norway/Scandinavia and the rest of the world, which
This dissertation explores how the school subject Swedish is constructed for various groups of upper secondary school students and how the meeting between teacher and pupils is embodied in a range of Swedish subjects. The overall aim of the study is to illustrate why the teaching of Swedish in the classes under investigation takes place the way it does, as well as to discuss possible changes on a
I juni 2011 antog ILO konventionen om goda villkor för hushållsarbetare. Konventionen fastställer anställningsvillkor och arbetsrättigheter för hushållsarbetare. Hushållsarbete sker, till skillnad från andra former av arbete, i privata hem utan insyn från det offentliga och är ofta ett ensamarbete. Detta innebär att hushållsarbetare riskerar att bli utsatta för missförhållanden och exploatering. KIn June 2011, the Domestic Workers Convention was adopted in the ILO. The Convention establishes minimum conditions of employment and labour rights for domestic workers. In contrast to other types of work, domestic work takes place in private households, in isolation and hidden from public insight. This makes domestic workers vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. The Domestic Workers Convention ob
The aim of the current retrospective study was to investigate the subjective experience of momentum and the presence of momentum in performance. Earlier studies have focused on studying individuals and novices in fictive situations. We decided to study the phenomenon on a team level. A case study was conducted on ten female elite handball players who were asked to carry out a survey where the aim
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur de två faktorerna självförtroende och inre motivation skiljer sig åt mellan personer som har kommit olika långt i riktning mot ett fysiskt aktivt liv. 144 försökspersoner besvarade 19 frågor i en enkätstudie. Deras svar angående motionsvanor och attityd gentemot fysisk aktivitet placerade dem i olika faser i den transteoretiska modellen. Därefter jämförd
Studien undersökte grundskolelärares inställning till att bli utvärderade av sina elever. Metoden var kvantitativ och en enkät utformades av författarna för att förstå lärarnas inställning. Svar från 55 grundskolelärare analyserades och presenterades i studien. Resultatet visade att grundskolelärare inte anser att elevutvärderingar kan bidra till att förbättra undervisningen. Lärarna trodde att deThe study investigated grade school teachers’ attitudes about pupil evaluation of teaching. The method used was quantitative and a questionnaire was developed to capture the teachers’ attitudes. A sample of 55 grade school teachers was analyzed and presented in this study. The results indicated that grade school teachers do not find pupil evaluations helpful in improving their teaching. The teache

The report also examines fire safety laws and regulations and the educational differences of the fire inspectors in Malmø and Copenhagen. The investigation is a project for Malmø Fire Brigade and Copenhagen Fire Brigade in co-operation with the Department of Fire Safety Engineering
Rationale: Proinflammatory cytokines have been identified as potential targets for lowering vascular risk. Experimental evidence and Mendelian randomization suggest a role of MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) in atherosclerosis and stroke. However, data from large-scale observational studies are lacking. Objective: To determine whether circulating levels of MCP-1 are associated with risk
OBJECTIVES: Primary graft dysfunction is a severe form of acute lung injury and a major cause of early morbidity and mortality encountered after lung transplant.We used a customized PExA 2.0 instrument (PExA, Gothenburg, Sweden) to measure particle flow in exhaled air during mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit. Our objective was to discover whether patients who developed primary graf
