Increased QT dispersion and loss of sinus rhythm were both associated with sudden cardiac death in patients with transposition of the great arteries after Mustard and Senning operations at the early and late postoperative periods. A combination of increased QT dispersion with loss of sinus rhythm increases the positive predictive value for sudden cardiac death in patients with transposition of the
An energy system that relies on fossil fuel is not sustainable. Emissions, such as carbon dioxide, nitric oxide and corpuscles, affect the climate and pollute the air. Furthermore, the supply of oil, coal and natural gas is located a few places worldwide, which can give provide incentive to geopolitical conflicts for access to these areas. This is not a local issue for Tjörn, nor even a national i
This paper investigates a time interval within the Late Ludfordian (Late Silurian), involving changes in faunal composition (the Lau Event), a major positive carbon isotope excursion (CIE), and contemporaneous sea-level changes in remote palaeo-basins. Based on the Silurian strata of Gotland (Sweden), we integrate sequence stratigraphy, carbon isotope stratigraphy, and platform-scale palaeoecologi
During the twentieth century, Sweden became known as a country with an unusually egalitarian distribution of income and wealth, an encompassing welfare state, and an exceptionally strong social democracy. It is commonplace among historians and social scientists to consider these equal outcomes of the twentieth century as the logical end result of a much longer historical trajectory of egalitariani
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the major co-morbidities of premature birth associated with post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) development, long-term neurodevelopmental impairment, behavioral problems, special educational needs, and dependency on social security.Hypothesis and aims: We believe that extravasated blood and further release of extracellular hemoglobin (Hb) are
Our tendency to associate attractive people with positive traits and unattractive people with negative traits is well documented. Stereotypes have traditionally been measured using either explicit measures such as questionnaires, or implicit measures such as the Implicit Association Test. In the present experiment it was tested whether the beautiful is good stereotype could also be measured using
Objective: The aim was to compare rapid antigen detection test (RADT) and throat culture for group A streptococci (GAS) among patients recently treated with penicillin V for GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Design and setting: The study was a secondary analysis within a randomized controlled trial comparing 5 versus 10 days of penicillin V for GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Patients were recruited at 17 primary
Elaborating on conceptualizations of kitsch in the realm of art and sociology in the context of ISIS propaganda and culture, this article introduces the concept of jihadi kitsch. Kitsch is characterized by a compulsion to escape from the banality of daily reality and lack of coherent meaning in modern society through, in the words of the philosopher and sociologist Theodor Adorno, a self-made and
Objective: Measurement of fetal scalp blood lactate is a supplementary tool to cardiotocography in the case of a non-reassuring tracing. Several hand-held lactate meters have been launched, all with differentials in absolute values. Therefore, the reference intervals must be calculated for each device. The internationally accepted reference interval is based on measurement with Lactate ProTM with
Objectives: Identification of biological markers that can guide treatment selection is considered to be a viable solution for personalized treatment for patients with psychiatric disorders. This study investigated whether macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels at baseline were associated with mindfulness-based group therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy response in patients with mil
Title: CONFIGURING THE CORPORATE ACCELERATOR FOR SYNERGIES: A Multiple Case Study on the Relation Between Configurations of Corporate Accelerators and Potential for Synergies with Startup Support Institutions Date of the seminar: 27 May, 2019 Course: ENTN39 Master’s Programme in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Internship and Degree Project (Master’s thesis 15 ECTS) Authors: Jacob Szemberg and G
Organ segmentation on magnetic resonance (MR) images for dose planning on cancer patients is a time consuming process that can be automatized by using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). MR images vary greatly in characteristics across acquisition sites, which affects CNN segmentation performance. In this master thesis, augmentation methods were tested and implemented to increase the robustness
This essay studies the effect that proficiency of an official language has on political participation. It is a quantitative study focusing on 36 African countries. Our theory stipulates that a lack of proficiency acts as a cost in a rational choice-model of political participation. The hypothesis is that the quota of official language-speakers in a country positively affects the country's leve
Aim: The selective use of defunctioning stomas in anterior resection for rectal cancer hinges on accurately predicting anastomotic leakage. The aim of this study was to develop a prediction model for use in a prospective randomized clinical trial. Method: Colorectal Cancer Database (CRCBaSe) Sweden was used to identify patients who underwent low anterior resection for rectal cancer 2007–2021. Elig
