BACKGROUND: The ORBITA and ORBITA-2 trials have provided valuable insights into the effects of coronary revascularization in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). However, uncertainties remain regarding the efficacy of revascularization on symptoms in large real-world populations. To evaluate the efficacy of revascularization, we used dispensed long-acting nitrates as a proxy for the presence of angina
Föreliggande arbete är en tesdrivande uppsats med syftet att på basis av en föreställning om språkets förändringskraft utmana CSR-begreppet för att landa i en reviderad version vilken syftar till att väcka ett skifte i förståelsen av begreppets innebörd. Undersökningen belyser CSR-diskursens komplexitet och begreppets problematik i dess vedertagna förståelse. Aktörer talar i termer av CSR om helt
Detaljerade data är avgörande vid karaktärisering av komplexa förorenade områden. I denna studie utrustar vi ett antal G360-brunnssystem med Star-Oddi milli-TD-tryckgivare i ett mestadels PCE (tetrakloretylen)- och TCE (trikloretylen)-förorenat bostadsområde i Helsingborg. Trots att dessa tryckgivare vanligtvis används inom marina undersökningar gör deras kostnad samt kompakta storlek dem av intreHigh-detailed data are key when characterizing complex contaminated sites. In this study we instrument Star-Oddi milli-TD pressure transducers in G360 multilevel groundwater monitoring systems within a mainly PCE (tetrachloroethylene) and TCE (trichloroethylene) contaminated residential area in Helsingborg, Sweden. Despite these transducers being typically utilized in marine research, their afford
This work looks at three case studies from bog body research in Denmark, England and Ireland in order to investigate the variation of human decomposition in different depositional environments and the application of forensic methods to the area of bog body research in archaeology. The work attempts to assess the chosen case studies using an established forensic scoring method by Heaton et al (2010
This study examines how Chinese CEOs construct culturally resonant brand personas through narrative strategies and archetypal roles across multiple digital platforms, using Lei Jun as a representative case. Grounded in a constructivist communication paradigm, the research integrates cultural branding theory, archetype theory, and narrative analysis to conceptualize branding as a process of meaning
Students studying mathematics-intensive programmes have a very high rate of dropping out before graduating. This, in a Swedish context, is despite upper-secondary schools saying that students will be prepared to study at a university level upon graduating upper-secondary school. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the perceptions of mathematics as a subject differ between upper-second
This thesis explored the application of pre-trained transformer models in detecting suicidal ideation in social media posts. We leveraged social media data from platforms like Reddit and Twitter and applied a robust hyperparameter random search strategy to fine-tune and evaluate existing transformer models. Despite noise in the fine-tuning data, the models demonstrated high performance in identify
The significance of access to education has, like women’s role in peacebuilding, previously been examined in various studies. However, the relationship between these two has rarely been touched upon. Particularly the discipline of Sociology of Law has been observed to discuss the topics in separate academic discussions. Hence, findings in accordance with my study have revealed that there is no res
In a previous pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic study in nonbleeding hemophilia patients, variability in laboratory response to recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) 90 μg/kg was noted, and the patients were described as delayed or rapid laboratory responders based on time to clot formation. The current study determined whether in-vitro experiments could reproduce previous in-vivo findings; whether the d
BACKGROUND: The incidence of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients treated for complicated or uncomplicated peptic ulcer disease (PUD) has not been ascertained completely. METHOD: All patients with in-hospital treatment due to PUD between 1987 and 2007, who did not have any past history of acute or chronic cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, were identified through the
OBJECTIVE: To elicit psychological and psychosocial problems existing in patients in dialysis and their partners, its being felt that the diversity involved has important implications for how service in dialysis units is delivered to patients and their partners. METHODS: The results of a series of interviews of 39 patients in dialysis and 21 partners of theirs, each interview individual, concernin
Many adverse events occur due to poor communication between surgical and anesthesia unit personnel. The aim of this study was to identify strategies to reduce risks unveiled by a national survey on patient safety.
Analysis of prospectively collected data in a national register.
Object Cerebral ischemia remains the key cause of disability and death in the late phase after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and its pathogenesis is still poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the change in intracranial pressure or the extravasated blood causes the late cerebral ischemia and the upregulation of receptors or the cerebral vasoconstriction observed foll
BACKGROUND: Ion channel transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) and cannabinoid (CB) receptors are involved in mechanoafferent signaling from the bladder and the urethra. OBJECTIVE: To characterize TRPA1-, CB1-, and CB2-receptor activities in the human prostate. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Prostate specimens were obtained from 12 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. We studied express
Global environmental change and increasing human population emphasize the urgent need for higher yielding and better adapted crop plants. One strategy to achieve this aim is to exploit the wealth of so called landraces of crop species, representing diverse traditional domesticated populations of locally adapted genotypes. In this study, we investigated a comprehensive set of 1485 spring barley lan
