Objectives The aim of the study was to examine the predictive value of QRS duration and morphology during watchful waiting in asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Background QRS duration and morphology are associated with poor prognosis in many different populations, but the predictive value, particularly of the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), in asymptomatic patients with AS has n
Background/Aims: Data on contact allergy to fragrances in the general population are limited. Data from allergological services suggest that the frequency of contact allergy to fragrances is increasing. The European Dermato-Epidemiology Network (EDEN) Fragrance Study aims to obtain reliable data on the prevalence of contact allergy to fragrances and other sensitizers of the European baseline serie
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union has been a legally binding act for ten years. However, ever since entering into the force, it has not been quite clear when the Charter in fact is applicable. During the past years, the EU has been faced by the Rule of law crisis, as called in the academic debate. This thesis aims to clarify when the Charter is applicable and examine whether
Protests are a common way for citizens to express their grievances and can occur in almost every regime. Each state reacts to protests in different ways – some listen to citizens' demands and adjust their policies, others resort to forceful methods, but in one and the other case, the media occupy an important place among the tools of response. This becomes especially evident in non-democratic
According to recent estimates, the implementation of the 2030 Agenda requires additional investments of USD 2.5 trillion USD per year. Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) are designed to be one of the key players in mobilizing the required investments from the private sector. However, too little investment is mobilized in countries where it is most needed. Drawing on previous findings on econo
The unprecedented military and economic support provided by non-participating States to Ukraine following the Russian aggression has reignited the debate surrounding the law of neutrality. The law of neutrality, first codified in the Hague Conventions of 1907, defines the legal relationship between States involved in an international armed conflict (IAC), known as belligerents, and States not taki
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur en gruppinsats för unga flickor med högfungerande autism fungerade och upplevdes av deltagarna och deras vårdnadshavare. Gruppinsatsen bestod av en integrering av metoder hämtade ur Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassionfokuserad terapi (CFT), dans och yoga och avsåg att förebygga psykisk ohälsa hos deltagarna. Studien genomfördes genom ob
En arbetsmiljö är både fysisk och psykosocial. Den fysiska delen är enkel att överblicka eftersom den är objektiv, medan den psykosociala är lite mer komplicerad då den är subjektiv och personer uppfattar den olika. I uppsatsen utreds begreppet psykosocial arbetsmiljö för att ge en förståelse för dess innebörd och relevans till ämnet. Kränkande särbehandling är det begrepp som används i svensk rätA work environment is both physical and psychosocial. The physical part is easy to overlook because it is objective, while the psychosocial is a bit more complicated since it is subjective and people perceive the differently. In the essay the concept of psychosocial work environment is examined in order to provide an understanding of its meaning and relevance to the subject. Victimization is the c
Both the pandemic and Euro crisis posed social risks in terms of unemployment and poverty. Yet, we see a more socially focussed crisis response to the pandemic, whereas the Euro crisis mainly neglected social policy. My thesis asks in how far such social policy crisis response variation can be understood. Hitherto literature usually focusses on instiutionalist arguments that are unable to bridge s
Since December 2015, the European Commission (EC) has defended the juridical autonomy in Poland by initiating the so called ‘Rule of Law Framework’ against the member state. Although the EC possess legal grounds for taking such actions against Poland, the supranational authority of the Commission is questioned in terms of legitimacy towards national governments. The aim of this thesis is to analy
The purpose of this study is to develop a deeper understanding of how organisations use communication as a tool to publicly respond to accusations. We aim to explore whether existing techniques are being used or if new techniques can be discovered.
The survival and persistence of the threatened Marsh Fritillary butterfly (E. aurinia) is linked to the availability of its host plant, the Devil’s Bit (S. pratensis), which primarily inhibits calcareous grasslands. Previous research has established that mapping the distribution of S. pratensis serves as a reliable indicator for identifying the presence of E. aurinina larvae nests. In this study,
Purpose There is a need to find a quick way to assess the impacts of the growing amount of globally manufactured and emitted chemical substances. This paper evaluates the use of Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) for predicting environmental effects of plastic additives in Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA). It also evaluates the impact on so called Characterization Factors (CF)

Denna uppsats behandlar fenomenet personligt varumärke.

A search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson H into new scalar or pseudoscalar particles that subsequently decay into b-quarks is presented. The search considers ZH production with several decay scenarios for the Higgs boson; first to a pair of identical scalars, H → 2a → 4b, second to a pair of scalars with different masses (ma1 < ma2), either directly, H → a1a2 → 4b, or via a longer decay chain
Time-of-flight mass-spectrometry (TOF-MS) measurements of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([EMIM][OTF]) vapors have been conducted in order to gain insight into the VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) absorption thresholds. The experimental data were interpreted with hybrid density-functional theory (DFT), time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT), and several flavours of many-body perturbation theor
I detta kapitel i boken Geografisk information Behandling beskrivs och behandlas metoder för hur geografisk data analyseras. Kapitlet omfattar såväl geografisk teori som exempel på tillämpningar. Geografisk informationsbehandling baseras på insamling, lagring, analys och visualisering av geografiska data, vilket också är bokens struktur.
