In Denmark, the incidence of carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPO) is increasing, and a coordinated national strategy is needed. We describe a case story of a 40-year-old woman transferred to a Danish hospital with severe complications after cosmetic surgery in the Middle East. She had an intra-abdominal infection with three different CPO, one of them co-resistant to colistin, one of the few rem
Around 20 % of all electrical energy goes to lighting. There is a strong need to make this figure lower. Our research group has for more than a decade worked with the problem how to reduce the energy use for lighting, but at the same time provide better lighting conditions to meet human needs. The work comprises both laboratory studies and field studies. Two different tracks have been used: One th
Fuel and load flexibility have been increasingly important features of industrial gas turbines in order to meet the demand for increased utilization of renewable fuels and to provide a way to balance the grid fluctuations due to the unsteady supply of wind and solar power. Experimental investigations were performed using a standard 3rd generation dry low emission (DLE) burner under atmospheric pre
Iran’s newly appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Quds Force, Muhammad Reza Fallahzadeh, is not only an experienced military man but also a politician with diplomatic experience. He is a vital asset for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which wants to see its own man elected president in the June elections.
Sugarcane processing roughly generates 54 million tonnes sugarcane bagasse (SCB)/year, making SCB an important material for upgrading to value-added molecules. In this study, an integrated scheme was developed for separating xylan, lignin and cellulose, followed by production of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) from SCB. Xylan extraction conditions were screened in: (1) single extractions in NaOH (0.25
Goda kamrater, ett antal buteljer punsch, en droska, och en likkista av barnmodell – vad är det värsta som kan hända? I lundastudenten Carl Lindells fall slutade det riktigt illa, med både tidningsskriverier och rektorsförhör. Arkivarien vid universitetsarkivet Henrik Ullstad berättar historien om en Malmöutflykt på 1880-talet som tog en ände med förskräckelse.Good companions, numerous bottles of punsch, a carriage and a child-sized coffin – what could possibly go wrong? In the case of Lund student Carl Lindell, it all went horribly wrong, with stories in the newspapers and being taken before the vice-chancellor. University Library archivist, Henrik Ullstad, tells the story of a Malmö excursion in the 1880s that came to an alarming end.
INTRODUCTION: Rapid response teams (RRTs) are designed to improve the "chain of prevention" of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). We studied the 30-day survival of patients reviewed by RRTs within 24 hours prior to IHCA, as compared to patients not reviewed by RRTs.METHODS: A nationwide cohort study based on the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, between January 1st, 2014, and Dece
Lilli Zickerman (1858–1949) was an entrepreneur who took part in organising the Swedish handicraft associations in the late 19th century. She was also a pioneer in the archives and active in the feminine sphere of textile handicraft. From 1914–1931 she conducted a huge inventory called Swedish Folk Textile Art that consists of more than 24,000 photographs and descriptions of vernacular textiles an
In recent years, particularly following the definition of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have gained considerable attention, capturing the interest of both the scientific community and policymakers committed to addressing urban environmental issues. However, the need for studies to guide decision-makers in identifying suitable locations for NBS i
Increasing climate change is causing a rise in natural disasters. One of the most common natural disasters in Sweden is flooding. Vulnerability is increasing due to urbanization and the removal of green spaces in Swedish cities. In the acute phase of a flooding, the municipal Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) are generally first to respond. In this thesis, the FRS’ management of flooding is reviewed
The aim of this thesis is to study the flammability and fire spread for textile membranes for weather protection. This thesis includes literature studies to determine current standards and recommendations available. Main focus however have been on the European classification system EN 13501-1 and construction site safety. Two types of experimental tests have been done, cone calorimeter test and te
Bilden av den traditionella kärnfamiljen som enbart ett heterosexuellt gift par med barn ifrågasätts allt mer och andra familjekonstellationer blir allt vanligare. I detta kan vi se att homosexuella personers relationer och familjer har lyfts fram mer och mer och tidigare fördomar om dessa tolereras i mindre grad. Denna förändring i attityd sker dock i olika takt runtom i Europa, vilket gör EuropaThe traditional family as a heterosexual married couple with children is a norm that is increasingly being questioned and other family constellations are getting more common. In this context the relations and families of homosexual persons are being highlighted and prejudices against them are less tolerated. This change of attitude is occurring at different rates around Europe, which renders the t
Arbetar samhällsviktiga verksamheter gemensamt för att hantera samhällets sårbarheter? När en händelse såsom då en storm sker, kan de allra flesta se hur sårbart samhället är och hur lätt ett problem hos en verksamhet snabbt sprider sig till andra verksamheter i samhället. Hur arbetar aktörer gemensamt för att hantera detta? Vi är många som har vaknat upp en morgon och sett att vägarna ligger vThe objective of this thesis is to provide answers to how a method can be designed to gain better knowledge of how collaboration looks between different critical societal activities in a preparing and preventive stage related to the management of transboundary risks. The designed method consists of two parts; a technique for data acquisition, and a method for data analysis. In order to evaluate th
