Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is common after general anaesthesia, and corticosteroids are used in many protocols for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). However, surgical techniques are developing, and ERAS protocols need to be reevaluated from time to time. Patients and method: In this study, we compared the effects of oral vs. parenteral corticosteroid administration
Objectives: Thoracic spine radiography becomes more difficult with age. Tomosynthesis is a low-dose tomographic extension of radiography which may facilitate thoracic spine evaluation. This study assessed the added value of tomosynthesis in imaging of the thoracic spine in the elderly. Methods: Four observers compared the image quality of 50 consecutive thoracic spine radiography and tomosynthesis
The phase behavior and aggregation properties of a triblock copolymer of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO), with a measured composition (EO)29(PO)40(EO)29, in aqueous solutions containing salt, have been examined using dynamic light scattering, rheological techniques, and sedimentation and viscosity measurements. The copolymer is dissolved as a unimer at low temperatures and forms spher
We explore the phenomenology of a unique three-Higgs-doublet model based on the single CP symmetry of order 4 (CP4) without any accidental symmetries. The CP4 symmetry is imposed on the scalar potential and Yukawa interactions, strongly shaping both sectors of the model and leading to a very characteristic phenomenology. The scalar sector is analyzed in detail, and in the Yukawa sector we list all
Introductions to data analysis in university physics often focus on fitting (typically to linearised functions) and uncertainty propagation, but residuals are less commonly introduced. Structured residuals indicate that the function (theoretical description) used to fit data does not capture all the relevant elements (i.e. the theoretical description is incomplete), and can be present even when th
Since Durkheim’s seminal work over a century ago, research has repeatedly shown that individuals with higher levels of social integration, social networks and social support have better health status. However, the recent introduction of a contextual phenomenon known as social capital to the field of public health has sparked lively debate as to how it may also influence the health of individuals,
Background: We analyzed the hypoallergenic potential of a recently bred apple selection with unusually low content of Mal d 1, using an oral challenge model with three additional apple cultivars for comparison. Methods: Sixty-six birch pollen-allergic individuals with a history of oral allergy syndrome after apple intake were subjected to a double-blind oral provocation with two apple cultivars (B
Thalli of Nephroma arcticum were transplanted between and within a high-elevation alpine heath (1100 m) and a low-elevation subalpine mountain birch forest (380 m) in northern Swedish Lapland and harvested after eight years. Statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) were found between control samples for dark respiration rates, photon use efficiencies (apparent quantum yields) and light com
Background: In clinical research information can be retrieved through various sources. The aim is to evaluate the agreement between answers in patient questionnaires and clinical reports in a study of patients after radical prostatectomy and patient characteristics associated with agreement between these two data sources. Methods: In the prospective non-randomized longitudinal trial LAParoscopic P
BackgroundThere is a need for the development of accurate, accessible and efficient screening instruments, focused on early-stage detection of neurocognitive disorders. The Geras Solutions cognitive test (GSCT) has showed potential as a digital screening tool for cognitive impairment but normative data are needed.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to obtain normative data for the GSCT in cognitive
I den svenska rätten kan vi i Föräldrabalkens kapitel 1 paragraf 1 utläsa följande: Är vid barns födelse modern gift med en man, ska denne anses som barnets far. Denna bestämmelse om faderskapspresumtion är gällande svensk rätt och huvudregel för hur faderskap i Sverige fastställs. Bestämmelsen härstammar från början från den romerska rätten och uttrycket ”pater est quem nuptiae demonstrant” som äIn “Föräldrabalken” (the Swedish law governing the legal relationship between parent and child) one can read the following: “If, at the time of the birth of a child, the mother is married to a man, this man shall be deemed the father of the child”. This provision of presumption of paternity is the primary rule for how paternity is decided in Sweden. This provision has its origins in Roman law and
The aim of the project is the reconstruction of the district Bento Rodrigues located in the state of Minas Gerais; Brazil destroyed by the collapse of a mining dam Fundão in November 2015. This disaster was one of the biggest tragedy in the country. Mud covered the village, a river flooded and all the waste arrived until the Atlantic Ocean, including one of the most important rivers, the Rio Doce.
Sammanfattning Vi har gjort en kvalitativ studie och intervjuat individer med en tidigare missbruksproblematik och kriminellbakgrund. Alla utom en av intervjupersonerna har deltagit i ett 12-stegsprogram. Det finns hjälp att få som missbrukare genom behandling, men det är ändå inte alla som klarar av att sluta fast den hjälpen finns. Det är viktigt och intressant att undersöka varför det är så. VWe have made a qualitative study that started from interviewees with substance abuse problems. All of the interviewees have a background as criminals and addicts and three of them have participated in twelve-step program. There is treatment that is intended to support and help addicts, but it's still not all that manage to get out of their addiction. That makes it important and interesting to
The purpose of this Master’s thesis has been to establish a method with which the stochastic field for the hydraulic conductivity within an aquifer can be determined. The stochastic field is characterised by the mean value and the standard deviation of the hydraulic conductivity together with a selected statistical distribution and the correlation between different points within the aquifer. The a
To evaluate the performance of evaporation systems, performance parameters such as overall heat transfer coefficient and evaporation rate need to be evaluated. These parameters are difficult measure and therefore need to be calculated using other measured data. Alfa Laval Technologies AB have evaporation systems connected to the cloud that record measured data for evaluation. In this degree projec
This master thesis focuses on redesigning the Competence profile within Grade AB’s product Grade Talent. The Competence profile is a competence management tool that enables managers, HR departments, and employees to track and overview em- ployee capabilities. Our work aimed to enhance usability through interface restruc- turing while implementing new functionality to visualize competence developme
Balanseringsprincipen är en metod av ekologisk kompensation som används i Helsingborg och går ut på att kompensera förlorade naturvärden (t.ex. träd, buskar) och sociala värden (t.ex. lekplats, sport) vid stadsutbyggnad. Den här studiens resultat tyder på att metoden som tillämpas idag är otillräcklig och pekar på ett flertal förbättringsområden. Framför allt krävs det ett tydligt mål med metoden In the context of continuous biodiversity loss connected to land-use changes and urban development, different methods such as biodiversity offsetting with the underlying aim of achieving “No Net Loss” (NNL) of biodiversity has been proposed. Compensation according to the mitigation hierarchy is one type of biodiversity offsetting which currently is being used in the municipality of Helsingborg, Sw

Tunisia is where all hope and rebellion started. After the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in 2010, the Jasmine Revolution spread to other Arab countries leading to the famous Arab Spring. Tunisia is depicted as the model of democratic transition in the Arab region and in the West. Transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented in the country, notably a Truth and Dignity Commission aimi
Yang_abtract_Tipping Points Tipping Points Charles Yang, University of Pennsylvania The human memory is impressively large and capable of storing detailed linguistic information. These findings raise important questions for the role of the grammar, as what can be stored needn't be computed. But evidence from language acquisition that not only is the grammar necessary, children are extremely adept
