This systematic review contributes to the research field of user participation by suggesting a new holistic approach comprising a cyclic process model for long-term participation in the strategic management of urban green spaces, including analysis, design, and implementation phases, each followed by an evaluation. User participation in urban green spaces is encouraged in international conventions
Anomalous seasonal patterns of precipitation variability over South America (SA) associated with El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and non-ENSO (residual) conditions were assessed during 1951–2016. Patterns were obtained from empirical orthogonal functions analysis of total and residual precipitation seasonal anomalies. In austral spring and summer, precipitation variability is dominated by a di
Background Patient crowding in emergency departments (ED) is a common challenge and associated with worsened outcome for the patients. Previous studies on biomarkers in the ED setting has focused on identification of high risk patients, and and the ability to use biomarkers to identify low-risk patients has only been sparsely examined. The broader aims of the TRIAGE study are to develop methods t
Background: Total pancreatectomy has high morbidity and mortality and differences among countries are currently unknown. This study compared the use and postoperative outcomes of total pancreatectomy among 4 Western countries. Methods: Patients who underwent one-stage total pancreatectomy were included from registries in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden (2014–2018). Use of t
Summary Systematic process triage quickens the treatment of the most sick patients Ugeskr Læger 2011;173(40):2490-2493 Systematic process triage is a relatively unknown concept in Denmark. Currently there are no national recommendations regarding triage models for use in the emergency department (ED). Four medium-sized EDs from different regions across the country cooperated in a joint venture to
Objective To compare the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment (Eyeball triage) as predictors of short-term mortality in patients in the emergency department (ED).Methods The investigation was designed as a prospective cohort study conducted at North Zealand University Hospital. All patient visits to the ED from September 2013 to December 2013 except minor injurie
Reports of long-lasting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms, the so-called ‘long COVID’, are rising but little is known about prevalence, risk factors or whether it is possible to predict a protracted course early in the disease. We analyzed data from 4,182 incident cases of COVID-19 in which individuals self-reported their symptoms prospectively in the COVID Symptom Study app1. A total o
Objective: The comparative efficacy and safety of prasugrel and ticagrelor in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the association of treatment with clinical outcomes. Methods: In the SWEDEHEART (Swedish Web-system for enhancement and development of evidence-based care in heart disease evaluated accor
Background: Characteristics and prognosis of patients admitted with strong suspicion of myocardial infarction (MI) but discharged without an MI diagnosis are not well-described. Objectives: To compare background characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes in patients discharged with or without MI diagnosis. Methods: The DETermination of the role of Oxygen in suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction (
Alzheimer’s disease affects millions of lives worldwide. This terminal disease is characterized by the formation of amyloid aggregates, so-called amyloid oligomers. These oligomers are composed of β-sheet structures, which are believed to be neurotoxic. However, the actual secondary structure that contributes most to neurotoxicity remains unknown. This lack of knowledge is due to the challenging n
The infrared spectra of HI and DI in argon matrices have been studied in the 11-25 K interval. The effects of concentration changes and of impurities have been investigated. Dimer and trimer bands have been assigned, as well as bands due to binary complexes with water, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride, and atomic and molecular iodine.
The infrared spectra of water dimers formed from H2O, D 2O, and HDO in krypton matrices have been recorded. Thermal equilibria between H- and D-bonded dimers have been studied. D bonding is preferred, and H-bonded dimers are approximately 60 cm-1 less stable than D-bonded dimers. The energy difference seems to be due to the higher value of the intermolecular out-of-plane H-bond shear vibration com
The infrared spectra of the H2O, HDO, and D2O complexes with ethylene, propene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, 2-methylpropene, 2-methyl-2-butene, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, 1,3-butadiene, benzene, and naphthalene have been recorded at temperatures from 11 to 20 K. Interaction energies have been estimated. HDO prefers to form a deuterium bond to the unsaturated molecule; however, small amounts of the h
The bromovinyl radical has been prepared by the reaction of bromine atoms with acetylene in an argon matrix at 17 K and its i.r. spectrum has been studied. The spectrum of C2HDBr• shows the presence of two isomers, indicating that the radical has an unsymmetric structure.
The infrared spectra of the water (H2O, HDO, D2O) complexes with HCl, HBr, HI Cl2, Br2, and I2 have been studied in argon matrices in the 11 to 25 K interval. In all cases, water acts as a lone-pair donor. The hydrogen halide complexes are effectively planar and rotate around the axis through the heavy atoms. For the water halogen complexes, the results are less clear, but a similar rotation, coup
ObjectiveComputerized decision‐support tools may improve diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among patients presenting with chest pain at the emergency department (ED). The primary aim was to assess the predictive accuracy of machine learning algorithms based on paired high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs‐cTnT) concentrations with varying sampling times, age, and sex in order to rule
