Introduction: Traumatic axonal injury (TAI), often caused by rapid rotational forces and high-energy accidents, is common in severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). The intracranial pressure (ICP) dynamics are often unpredictable, and the need for ICP monitoring remains debated. Research question: What is the incidence of ICP elevation in patients with TAI, and how often is escalated ICP-lowering tr

This work consists of seven essays, with each concerning a specific subject that is related to architecture. There is additional text, which pertains to this work's examination requirements for graduating the architecture-program at Lund Technical University. This work is a creative explorations through writing as a tool; through text; becoming able to formulate, conceptualize, develop and ext

Side-channel attacks exploiting Plaintext-Checking (PC) and Decryption Failure (DF) oracles are a pressing threat to deployed post-quantum cryptography. These oracles can be instantiated from tangible leakage sources like timing, power, and microarchitectural behaviors, making them a practical concern for leading schemes based on lattices, codes, and isogenies. In this paper, we revisit chosen-cip

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly diagnosed early, close to its first occurrence due to: (i) increased public awareness with self-screening; (ii) health care initiatives including population screening and opportunistic case finding; and (iii) increased use and surveillance of implantable cardiac devices. At its onset, AF is often low burden, and cardiovascular co-morbidities may be absent o

Neophobia, or aversion to novelty, is important for adaptability and survival as it influences the ways in which animals navigate risk and interact with their environments. Across individuals, species and other taxonomic levels, neophobia is known to vary considerably, but our understanding of the wider ecological drivers of neophobia is hampered by a lack of comparative multispecies studies using

Why, despite decades of warnings and solutions, does unsustainable consumption still persist? What keeps societies locked into business as usual even when the consequences are clear? This book contends that part of the answer lies in the myths we adhere to – powerful narratives that normalise the status quo, limit imagination and delay the transition to sustainability. Gathering leading scholars f

BackgroundPediatric heart-lung transplantation (pHLTx) remains the only treatment option for children with significant and fixed elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in the setting of uncorrectable end-stage heart disease. We aimed to determine the characteristics, waiting list course and long-term outcomes for children listed for pHLTx within the Scandiatransplant region.MethodsThis w

Background: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the preferred first-line diagnostic tool for evaluating lymphadenopathy due to its minimally invasive nature and cost-effectiveness. However, cytopathological interpretation of lymph node FNAB remains challenging because of the wide morphological spectrum of lymphoid lesions. The World Health Organization (WHO) Reporting System for Lymph Nodes, S

Greater Mekong Subregion programmet är ett flera miljarder dollars utvecklingsprojekt som inleddes med stöd av den asiatiska utvecklingsbanken (ADB) 1992. Det sammanför sex stater i Mekongs avrinningsområde med ett gemensamt mål för tillväxt och välstånd genom ekonomiskt samarbete. Utvecklingen av ekonomiska korridorer är ett huvudinitiativ för främjandet av transport och handel (TTF) inom GMS proThe Greater Mekong Subregion Program is a multi-billion dollar development project, launched with the assistance of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 1992. It brings together 6 states of the Mekong river basin with a common goal of growth and prosperity through economic co-operation. The development of economic corridors is a major trade and transport facilitation (TTF) initiative under the GMS

This study constitutes a preliminary survey within the project "Lake and groundwater paleohydrology of the Vomb plain, southern Sweden, for quantitative paleoclimatic calibration". The aim of the study is to describe the Holocene sediment stratigraphy of the former lakes Fönesjön and Kalvsjön (Kalvs mosse), and furthermore to describe and date stratgraphical indications of climatically c
