Cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers in therapeutic hypothermia have been studied in cardiac arrest, but data on patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with therapeutic hypothermia are currently unavailable. A multiplex proximity extension assay allowed us to measure 157 cardiovascular disease (CVD) and inflammatory disease-related biomarkers in patients fro
Obesity levels in developing countries are increasing at an alarming rate, while “old” problems such as hunger and undernutrition still persist, creating a paradoxical situation of a double burden of malnutrition. Intertwined with new sustainability challenges such as climate change and land degradation, food, health and sustainability are interconnected in a complex web of relationships, spanning

May the state go to any lengths to collect taxes? Our taxing system is after all the foundation on which our modern society rests. Thanks to it we have a broad and well functioning infrastructure and a developed social security network. On the other hand we are all humans and as such we have the right to enjoy the protection which comes from our human rights. What happens then when the state and

This thesis explores two interrelated issues when it comes to traditional alcohol in Tanzania and its day-to-day activities: identity formation and local economic life. Given the fact that drinking traditional alcohol in Africa is an intrinsic part of social life, it becomes an object in the articulation of diversity, coexistence, and preservation of identity. The study presents women as nodes thr
Projektet handlar huvudsakligen om två saker: att utforska en ny metodologi och att applicera metoden på en aktuell samhällssituation. De metoder som vi utforskar är arkitekturteori, generativ design och mötet emellan dem. Vi ville undersöka vad som händer med en process och en design när de båda vävs samman, och genom att låta projektet varvas mellan två metoder hoppas vi kunna hitta ett nytt svaThis project is about two main things: to investigate a new methodology and to apply the method on a current situation in society. The method that we investigate is combining architectural theory and generative design. The aim has been to investigate what happens with a process and the resulting design when the two strategies are used together. By doing this we hope to find a new answer to this pr
This thesis is a discourse theoretical analysis of the European Unions foreign- and security policy. I use a discourse theoretical method inspired by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe and use their concepts of nodal points, elements, moments and chains of equivalence. In my analysis I draw upon theories in relation to different kinds of power in international relations and especially in relation t
How should we deal with city planning in a world that is rapidly turning urban, without destroying valuable nature assets along the way? The last decades are proof that the system we are using today is not up to the challenge. Therefore this thesis is showing a new approach to how comprehensive city planning can grow from nature based values and a deeper understanding of a city’s foundation. Toda
Gaming as a Service is not defined in existing research. The lack of a formal definition leads to an ambiguity between its function as a business model and the long-term strategy of the firm. The purpose and aim of this study is to investigate the definition of GaaS business model, distinguishing its function from the strategy. Furthermore, the key components of the model are established based on
The following master's thesis discusses Virginia Woolf's essays A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas from contemporary feminist points of views in order to define the nature of Woolf's feminism. The two feminist theorists Rosi Braidotti and Judith Butler serve as the bases of the two most widely known branches in feminist theory today, the sexual difference theory on the one hand,
Empirical research about late sexual debut and its consequences is limited, and further research is needed.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We report trends of stroke incidence and survival up to year 2001/2002 in Lund-Orup, Sweden, and projections of future stroke incidence in Sweden. METHODS: Lund Stroke Register, a prospective population-based study, included all first-ever stroke patients, between March 1, 2001 and February 28, 2002, in the Lund-Orup health care district. Institution-based studies for 1983
A selective extraction technique based on the combination of membrane assisted solvent extraction and molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction for triazine herbicides in food samples was developed. Simazine, atrazine, prometon, terbumeton, terbuthylazine and prometryn were extracted from aqueous food samples into a hydrophobic polypropylene membrane bag containing 1000 mu L of toluene as the a
Purpose: The aim was to investigate outcomes of powered wheelchair and scooter interventions after 4-months and 1-year use regarding need for assistance when moving around, frequency of mobility-related participation, easiness/difficulty in mobility during participation, and number of participation aspects performed in everyday life. Method: The study was a prospective cohort study, using an instr
BACKGROUND: Animal studies indicate that some phthalate metabolites may harm female reproductive function. OBJECTIVES: We assessed the associations between exposure to phthalate metabolites and pregnancy loss. METHODS: Using a previously established cohort of couples planning their first pregnancy, we analyzed four primary and two oxidized secondary phthalate metabolites in urine samples collected
