Caption: Most patients are in a coma the first days after a cardiac arrest. Clinical tests of brain stem function, neurophysiological methods (EEG and SSEP), imaging (CT and MRI) and measurements of biomarkers in the blood are used to assess the extent of brain injury.

Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures. It usually develops after an initial insult, such as head trauma or stroke, which triggers the epileptogenic process. During epileptogenesis, the affected brain regions undergo multiple changes in connectivity and gene expression, and among the most affected genes

We study how law treats people in vulnerable positions and how these people can make use of law. We are also interested in how the judicial system views individuals in relations to their context and to societal structures. The possibility to make use of one’s right can be obstructed or aggravated in a vulnerable situation, as a child or youth or old, disabled, poor or homeless person. Our research

The research group in criminal law covers a wide range of research topics and methods. A common denominator for our research is an interest in criminal law in society, with a focus on how criminal law and procedural rules and principles are shaped by, and shape, the society we live in. Our research is often characterized by a combination of traditional legal analysis on one side, and methods and t

Combustion Physics is since 2001 located in the Enoch Thulin-laboratory at the Physics Department. The general aim of the activity is to increase the basic understanding of combustion processes through experimental as well as theoretical research. The experimental research is directed towards development of laser-based diagnostic methods for measurements of parameters such as temperature and speci

Support of vital body functions is the essence of the care of severely and critically ill patients. Use of mechanical ventilation and dialysis is life saving but also increases the risks for complications, above all secondary infections. Medical technical devices, apparatus as well as single use articles should be as safe as possible to use. Our group has two lines of interest both aiming at prop

The objective of this thesis is to investigate to what extent the information content in the joint dividend and earnings announcement affect share price reactions in the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Stock Exchange during the period of 2006-2008. Further, this study examines the financial performance of the companies in subsequent period to the announcement. OLS regression models from market-based and account

The purpose with this thesis is to examine whether the popularity of downsizing as a management strategy has an effect on the stock market's reactions when a company announces downsizing. This thesis has employed a quantitative method. An event study has been used and we have calculated the normal and abnormal return using the market model. Data has been collected from Datastream in forms of s

The purpose of this study is to examine how the voluntary disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility in annual reports affects the stock prices of corporations listed on the OMX Nordic Exchange. A quantitative method, with qualitative elements, is applied. The quantitative method is used to measure how CSR reporting affects stock prices, while the qualitative element is highlighted when ranking

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the price effect on the initial day of trading of IPOs and the price effect on the announcement day of SEOs on Stockholm Stock Exchange. A second purpose it to conduct studies on which factors influencing the price effects and if these factors can be explained by the same fundamental ideas. Theories regarding capital structure and the pricing of IPOs an
