Time to blood culture positivity (TTP) is an indirect measure of bacterial concentration in blood. A short TTP has been linked to the presence of infective endocarditis (IE) and to poor prognosis in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.

Airway basal cells are crucial for regeneration of the human lung airway epithelium, and are thought to be important contributors to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other lung disorders. In order to reveal how basal cells contribute to disease, and to discover novel therapeutic targets, these basal cells need to be further characterized. In this study, we optimized a flow cytometr
Prediction of the service lifetime of concrete structures with respect to chloride ingress involves a number of parameters that are associated with large uncertainties. Hence, full-scale measurements are strongly in demand. This paper begins by summarizing statistical distributions based on measurements taken from the Gimsøystraumen Bridge in Norway. A large number of chloride profiles are availab
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether there was any difference in scores of the Cleft Hearing, Appearance and Speech Questionnaire (CHASQ) between patients with cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) and a control population.

Globaliseringen har också medfört ett antal miljöproblem som några av dessa tjäns
Sammanfattning Utbildning och kurs: Magisterprogrammet i service management, kandidatkurs SMT302 Handledare: Magnus Jirström och Veronica Åberg Syfte och frågeställningar: Vår intention med denna uppsats är att analysera om de ideella organisationer som vi har undersökt överhuvudtaget reflekterar kring service gentemot medlemmar. Skulle så vara fallet ämnar vi kartlägga på vilket sätt detta görs.
Syftet med denna uppsats är att identifiera och analysera problematiska aspekter som nya chefer inom tjänsteverksamheter ställs inför vid inträdandet i en chefsroll och under den första tiden som chef. Vi har i denna uppsats valt att genomföra en litteraturstudie där vi ställer existerande forskning inom två områden; tjänstesektorns särdrag och omställningen för nya chefer, i relation till forskni

Denna kvalitativa textanalys analyserar karaktären Moneypenny i den omåttligt populära filmserien om James Bond.

Eftersom folkrätten är ett högaktuellt rättsområde idag, är det lätt att tro att det också är en modern produkt, ett resultat av nutidens accelererande globalisering. Så är dock inte fallet, utan folkrätten har i högsta grad en rättshistorisk sida som bör beaktas. Denna uppsats undersöker hur Hugo Grotius och Emer de Vattel behandlade de centrala folkrättsliga begreppen stat och suveränitet, och Since public international law is a current area of law today, we may think that it is also a modern product, a result of today’s globalized world. However, that is not the case. Public international law has important historical aspects that must be considered. This paper examines in what way Hugo Grotius and Emer de Vattel treated two of the key concepts of public international law, state and so
