Introduction: The spatial peaks QRS-T angle accurately distinguishes children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from their healthy counterparts. The spatial peaks QRS-T angle is also useful in risk stratification for ventricular arrhythmias. We hypothesised that the spatial peaks QRS-T angle would be useful for the prediction of ventricular arrhythmias in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients under
We identified clusters of atypical sensory functioning adults with ASC by hierarchical cluster analysis. A new scale for commonly self-reported sensory reactivity was used as a measure. In a low frequency group (n = 37), all subscale scores were relatively low, in particular atypical sensory/motor reactivity. In the intermediate group (n = 17) hyperreactivity, sensory interests and sensory/motor i
The purpose of this work is to present results from an ongoing study on how the presence of surfaces influences the buckling properties of nanowires. This study is performed using molecular statics simulations where the interatomic interaction is modelled using an embedded atom potential (EAM) fitted to gold properties. The considered nanowires have rectangular cross sections with cross sectional
Objective. To compare the effect of intraarticular injections of hyaluronan and placebo (vehicle, saline) in patients with knee pain on exertion and with joint cartilage abnormalities. Methods. Fifty-two patients with arthroscopically verified deep cartilage fissures and villus-like flakes in the symptomatic knee were randomly assigned to receive intraarticular injections of 2.5 ml of either hyalu
In this paper, we study how foreign ownership of Swedish companies affects employment and wages. To study these effects, we specify a model based on the assumption that the Swedish labour market can be described as one where trade unions and employers bargain over employment and wages. Our hypothesis is that bargaining power is affected by institutional settings and the ownership of the firm. To t
The Zumaya section, northern Spain, is a suitable candidate to define the Global Stratotype Section and Point for the base of the Selandian Stage (Palaeocene) because of its excellent accessibility, exposure and stratigraphic continuity. Uncertainties exist, however, with regard to the stratigraphic horizon where to place the Danian/Selandian (D/S) boundary. Five potential stratigraphic horizons (
The paper compares PM10 concentrations in railroad environments with EU air quality standards and characterizes particle concentrations and particle properties in relation to train traffic. The results show that PM10 concentrations in ground-level railroad environments do not exceed the EU directive 24-h limit value, while on the platforms of the two subterranean stations PM10 concentrations were
This thesis assesses the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action at local level of Kabokweni location, South Africa. The Hyogo Framework for Action is a framework, adopted by the United Nations, focuses on promoting proactive disaster management rather than reactive. This fairly new approach reached South Africa as early as in 2003, when the Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002 was launched
Studien i fråga hade som huvudsyfte att undersöka moralisk stress hos rekryterare på rekryterings- och bemanningsföretag i privat verksamhet i Sverige. Vidare syfte var att undersöka dilemman av fyra andra psykologiska faktorer kopplat till arbetet som är relevanta för moralisk stress: kognition, emotion, kontroll, samt stressreaktioner. För moralisk stress och samtliga faktorer undersöktes skillnThe study aimed at examining recruiter’s experience of moral stress at recruiting and staffing companies in Sweden. Further purpose was to investigate dilemmas of four other psychological factors related to work, relevant for moral stress: cognition, emotion, control, and stress reactions. For moral stress and all other factors, differences based on sexes and work experience were investigated. An
Monuments to Joseph Stalin and Felix Dzerzhinsky are constantly increasing in contemporary Russia. However, new monuments to Lenin are no longer being built. From the perspective of today’s strongmen, Stalin and Dzerzhinsky represent strength, war victory and domestic “iron order”. Lenin, on the other hand, is seen as a political adventurer and destabilizer. As a man who, according to Vladimir Put
