Background: Optimal oxygen targets in patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest are uncertain. The primary aim of this study was to describe the values of partial pressure of oxygen values (PaO2) and the episodes of hypoxemia and hyperoxemia occurring within the first 72 h of mechanical ventilation in out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. The secondary aim was to evaluate the associatio
Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) allows for assessment of diffusion influenced by microcellular structures. We analyzed DKI in suspected low-grade gliomas prior to histopathological diagnosis. The aim was to investigate if diffusion parameters in the perilesional normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) differed from contralesional white matter, and to investigate differences between glioma malignancy
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective barrier separating the brain from the circulatory system. The physical barrier is built up by a monolayer of endothelial cells, which is the main component used for in vitro modeling. To create more physiologically relevant in vitro models, the field of organs-on-chips has recently been introduced, combining microfluidics and microengineering to
Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been applied for several years in the removal process pollutants from secondary treatment plants and stormwater. In this paper, the Variable Residence Time (VART) model for solute transport in streams was extended to simulate the BOD removal process in free water surface flow constructed wetlands (FWS CWs). The double layer concept of the basic VART model was extend
Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera Fackföreningslagen och dess potentiella konsekvenser för fackföreningars föreningsfrihet i den kambodjanska textilindustrin. Utöver detta analyseras lagen i förhållande till redan befintlig nationell lagstiftning samt i relation till internationell rätt rörande föreningsfrihet. Majoriteten av Fackföreningslagens regleringar är oförenliga med internationeThe aim of the thesis is to elaborately analyse the Trade Union Law and its possible implications for trade unions’ right to freedom of association in the Cambodian garment industry. In addition, the law is evaluated in relation to already existing domestic law and in relation to international law regarding freedom of association. The majority of the Trade Union Law’s provisions are incompatible
The use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has a great potential in the pharmaceutical field due to its many advantages such as biocompatibility, low toxicity and biodegradability. Studies have also shown that proteins can be successfully incorporated into DESs. However, protein stability and structure in these solvents need to be investigated for this technology to be applicable. When adding the pr
The fast pace of digitization in the retail landscape has revealed serious challenges for retailers. With the rise of new touchpoints in customer journeys, retailers have to provide memorable experiences to retain and attract new customers. Literature concerning the role of omni-channel shopping experience and how retailers maximize the omni-channel shopping experience by considering different tou
Electrical machines in electrical vehicles are sometimes put under a lot of stress when for example climbing an uphill road. In order for the machine to cope with the heat generation that comes of running extended periods of time near or at peak power one needs a highly developed cooling system. At the division of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation (IEA), located at Lunds Tekniska Hö
Introduction: Identification and quantification of OxPCs and LPCs in the lung surfactant with non-invasive sampling techniques and validated analytical methods are of great importance in terms of exploring biomarkers of oxidative stress in lung and other lung related diseases. Background: Although there are some well-structured analytical methods for the detection and quantification of OxPCs, the
The Circular Economy (CE) has gained global recognition as a way to enable sustainability improvements in production and consumption systems. Numerous circularity indicators (c-indicators) have been developed by academia and practitioners to be used at the company level as analytical tools to measure progress towards a more circular economy. Nevertheless, there is a lack of empirical evidence on t
This study investigates deep learning approaches for automated land use classification from high-resolution remote sensing imagery, comparing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT) architectures. Eight semantic segmentation models were evaluated on the HRSCD dataset containing 291 aerial image pairs (0.5m resolution) with four land use classes: building, agricultural, fore
This thesis presents a simulation-driven methodology for evaluating float design in aseptic filling machines, with the objective of reducing surface instabilities and air entrainment that contribute to splashing during the filling of viscous food products. The study was conducted in collaboration with Tetra Pak and focuses on understanding how float geometry, particularly mass and radius, affects
This thesis examines why road transport was initially excluded from the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and what factors contributed to its later inclusion in the EU ETS 2. This thesis will examine how environmental, economic, and political factors contributed to the shift in policy through the lens of the theories of liberal Intergovernmentalism (LI) and neofunctionalism. The research uses a
I denna uppsats undersöks huruvida det av Liberalerna föreslagna gottgörande arbetet som disciplinåtgärd i grundskolan är förenligt med det rättighetsskydd som stadgas i svensk rätt, genom RF och SkolL, och det rättighetsskydd som stadgas i EKMR genom artiklarna 4 och 14. Det saknas utrymme för gottgörande arbete som disciplinåtgärd i nuvarande SkolL. I SkolL stadgas att barnets bästa ska beaktaThis paper examines whether the compensatory labour proposed by the Swedish Liberal Party as a disciplinary measure in elementary school is compatible with the protection of rights enshrined in Swedish law, through the Constitution and the Education Act, and the protection of rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights through Articles 4 and 14. There is no provision for compensa
This thesis examines the transport justice in Copenhagen for multimodal transport using cycling and the metro network, to answer the research question ‘How equitable and equal is the bicycle access to high-capacity public transport metro stations in Copenhagen, and how is transport justice distributed?’. This question is answered by combining an expert interview, field observations, and geographic
The maritime sector needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the sustain ability of energy systems. Ammonia has attracted increasing attention as a potential carbon-free marine fuel. However, ammonia has low reactivity, a high ignition energy requirement, and a low flame propagation speed, which make stable combustion difficult. Diesel-ignited ammonia combustion is therefore a promisin
This study investigates the combustion and emission characteristics of a two-stroke, direct-injection ammonia/diesel dual-fuel compression-ignition engine under low-load conditions relevant to large marine engines. Although ammonia is carbon-free and can reduce direct CO2 emissions, its low reactivity, strong evaporation cooling, and nitrogen chemistry may cause incomplete combustion, NH3 slip, an
Air emissions are becoming a larger problem in today’s society and therefore the limits are getting stricter. This means that chemical-producing industries which create multiple byproducts, acting like air pollutants, requires to improve their emission limiting systems. Johnson Matthey Formox AB is a company who sells licenses and catalysts for formaldehyde production by the FORMOXTM process. Prod
Urban heat island effects are intensifying in rapidly urbanizing coastal cities, yet the thermal implications of wetland transformation remain insufficiently understood. This study investigates the spatial and seasonal dynamics of Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) intensity in Kochi, India, with particular focus on reclaimed wetlands. An integrated framework combining Landsat-derived environmental
