Bakgrund - Ambulanssjukvården ska kunna bedriva triagering och avancerad sjukvård i det prehospitala rummet. Detta genom rätt kompetens och medicinteknisk utrustning. Riktlinjerna beskrivs som otillräckliga gentemot de patienter som inte bedöms vara kritiska. Ambulanssjuksköterskans bedömningsprocess beskrivs som olika faser som speglar arbetet före, under och efter mötet med patienten. Vårdande bBackground - In today's society, the ambulance services are expected to perform triage and advanced medical care in the prehospital environment. This is achieved through appropriate competence and medical-technical equipment. Guidelines are described as insufficient towards the patients that are not critically ill. The assessment process of the specialist ambulance nurse is described as comple

Air pollution is a problem that has been linked to health risks and disease and contains aerosols with very small particles (PM2.5) which reach deep down in the lung tissues and cause problems leading to both cancer and other health issues. Different authorities and fire and rescue service departments in Sweden create large emissions when training their personnel in facilities for smoke producing

The recidivism rate following imprisonment is a social problem that is receiving increasing attention in today's societal debate. Rehabilitative efforts for reintegrating prisoners are recognized as crucial in reducing recidivism, a responsibility largely placed on the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. However, their capacity to engage in rehabilitation activities is increasingly restricte

The exact incidence and prevalence of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is unknown in the general population. Published reports differ in terms of the clinical characteristics, effects of therapy and survival. To investigate the epidemiology, clinical presentation and survival in patients with BCS. Retrospective multicentre study in Sweden reviewing the medical records of all patients with BCS 1986-2003,

Bryophytes have until now been absent from all hypotheses regarding the origin of insect pollination of seed plants. The discovery that both springtails and mites are able to transfer sperm in mosses makes it possible to suggest a ’Bryophyte precursor hypothesis of plant pollination’ stating that animal-mediated fertilization in mosses and insect pollination in seed plants is historically linked b

Biotechnology offers extensive possibilities to incorporate new traits into organisms. Genetically modified (GM) traits relevant for agro-ecosystems include traits such as pest resistance and herbicide tolerance in crop plants, increased growth rate in fish and livestock, and enhanced nitrogen-fixation capabilities of soil microbes. In this review, we evaluated the direct and indirect trait-specif

Background: Long-term exposure to air pollution is a hypothesized risk factor for ischemic stroke. In a large case-control study with a complete study base, we investigated whether hospital admissions for ischemic stroke were associated with residential concentrations of outdoor NOx, as a proxy for exposure to air pollution, in the region of Scania, Southern Sweden. Methods: We used a two-phase ca

The case of Bertil Ströberg has repeatedly been called one of Sweden's most remarkable criminal cases. The indictment against Ströberg from 1983 claims that he committed grave espionage against Sweden on behalf of Poland. Ströberg says that he is innocent of the crime, and fought until his death to get his case reopened in the Supreme Court. That Ströberg would be innocent is explained by the

Due to the serious problem of greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere driving global warming, the need for sustainable initiatives has become an imperative for companies which leads to the necessity of operating sustainably. However, to avoid taking a weak approach to sustainability, it is imperative for companies to carry out a transition involving all three dimensions (environmental, economic

Under de senaste åren har en rad plattformsföretag etablerat sig inom olika sektorer av samhället och vid det här laget är de flesta människor bekanta med företag som Foodora och Uber. Uppkomsten och den starka etableringen av gig-ekonomin har skapat en hel del oklarheter vad gäller arbetsrättsliga frågor. Gig-ekonomin bygger på en treparts-relation mellan tjänsteleverantören, användaren/kunden ocIn recent years, a number of platform companies have established themselves in various sectors of society and by now most people are familiar with companies such as Foodora and Uber. The rise and the big establishment of the gig economy has created a lot of uncertainty regarding labor law issues. The gig economy is based on a tripartite relationship between the service provider, the user/customer

This Master's thesis aims to investigate librarians' identity construction through the study of their narratives about themselves and their lives. We want to understand in what way the education in Library- and Information science contributes to shape the students professional identity and how these identities then continue to be transformed when they enter their professional lives. We ass

Alfa Laval är ett ledande industriföretag inom flera viktiga teknologier såsom: separation, pumpar, och värmeöverföring. Detta genom att tillverka produkter till t.ex. vattenrening, pastörisering, och produktion och överföring av energi, som i sin tur bidrar till ökat välstånd i världen. En av Alfa Lavals mest centrala produkttyper är värmeväxlare för värmeöverföring mellan vätskor och gaser. Ett Alfa Laval’s head office in Lund, Sweden, is the centre for research, development, and production of one of their key technologies: heat exchangers. The most common of these are the gasketed plate heat exchangers (GPHE). In these the liquid channels between heat transfer plates are sealed using rubber gaskets. The sealing ability of these gaskets are thus highly important for the performance of th

Problem Statement: Sandvik Rock Processing is in the need for a classification tool, which can help them improve their inventory management. Currently, there are problems with inefficiencies with deficit as well as excess in inventory. The new classification shall the basis for the differentiation of service levels and facilitate a shared view on items’ importance. Purpose: The purpose of this th

Author: Frida Nordborg Title: “So, did you get consent this weekend?” - A qualitative interview study on how heterosexual men talk about sex and consent. Master’s thesis, CCRM20, Cultural Criminology, 30 credits Supervisor: Terese Anving Examiner: David Wästerfors Department of Sociology, spring 2025 This thesis examines how heterosexual men in their thirties experience and discuss sex and sexual

Active learning is increasingly implemented in higher education, yet students' perspectives on this pedagogical approach remain diverse. This study explores geoscience students' views on active learning within a course at the University of Bergen (UiB) and in relation to their broader study program. Through longitudinal qualitative interviews with two student cohorts, we identified seven main cate

Objective: The aim of this study is to describe how the use of diagnostic imagingfor prostate cancer (PCa) has evolved over time and to determine whether thereare any differences in access to diagnostic imaging, type of cancers detected, andmortality based on the education level of patients.Methods: 11,063 men were recruited between 1991 and 1996 and thenprospectively followed until 2020. All new

Popular science summary: Transcriptional regulation of HIF-2α in neuroblastoma Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor in childhood. The presence of hypoxia -regions of low levels of oxygen- causes a more immature tumor phenotype that is related to a more aggressive form of this cancer. Hypoxia is mainly directed by Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α. High levels of HIF-2α expre

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is thought to develop from an interaction between environmental and genetic factors. We examined whether clinical or genetic factors or both could predict progression to diabetes in two prospective cohorts. METHODS: We genotyped 16 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and examined clinical factors in 16,061 Swedish and 2770 Finnish subjects. Type 2 diabetes d

The main objective of this thesis was to identify methods for the detection of ß-lactam resistance in staphylococci, bacteria often causing nosocomial infections. Detection of ß-lactam resistance in these species is difficult due to strong regulation of genes encoding for the two main resistance mechanisms, ß-lactamase production and the penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 2?. ß-lactamase has high af
