BACKGROUND: Previous studies have demonstrated an association between transplantation rate per center and postoperative mortality after heart transplantation. In 2011, Sweden centralized heart transplants and waiting lists, reducing the number of centers from 3 to 2. We aimed to assess the active waiting time and pre- and post-transplant mortality before and after centralization.METHODS: Heart tra

Inherent errors in tipping bucket flow meters may limit monitoring data reliability. In this work, we perform the static and dynamic calibration of four large tipping buckets, apply different regression curves and investigate the possible measurement error sources. The volumetric capacity (static calibration) of each piece of equipment was determined. They were tested (dynamic calibration) under t

Denna uppsats behandlar de svenska lagvalsreglerna på sakrättens område rörande lös egendom, dess överensstämmelse med EU-rätten samt hur EU-rätten påverkar den svenska regleringen. En genomgång av svensk och EU-rättslig praxis görs och analyseras med rättsdogmatisk och EU-rättslig metod för att presentera gällande rätt. I den svenska rätten har materialet varit mycket sparsamt och omfattar tre rThis thesis addresses choice of law in the area of property law, specifically security rights in movables, in the Swedish legal system. The conformity to EU-law and the impact of EU-law on the Swedish regulations are discussed. This is done by using Swedish legal dogmatic method combined with EU legal methods to present and analyse the regulations. Regarding Swedish law the material is mainly thr

Title: Next generation rear axle assembly - A case study at Scania Authors: Richard Andrae & William Bergmark Background: Following the development of industry 4.0, new production technologies enabling more efficient assembly processes constantly evolve. Scania is a leading manufacturer of trucks in Sweden, offering a wide product portfolio and the possibility for their customers to customize

E-commerce activities have been growing rapidly throughout the past decade, leading to a growth just as dominant in last mile logistics and urban freight transport as well. Different factors create these deliveries highly inefficient, expensive, and polluting. This led to the generation of major problems that became more dominant in urban areas. Such problems created in cities contributed to highe

Background: In adults, impaired myocardial repolarization and increased risk of arrhythmia are known consequences of open heart surgery. Little is known, however, about post-operative consequences of cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in children. The aim of this study was to assess ventricular repolarization and coronary perfusion after bypass surgery for atrial septal defect (ASD) repair in children

The cardiovascular risk for users of use of Swedish snus/American snuff (moist tobacco) has been debated for a long time. The present study was designed to examine the effects of water- or lipid-soluble (DMSO-soluble) snus and nicotine, the most important substance in tobacco, on the expression of vasocontractile G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), such as endothelin ETB, serotonin 5-HT1B, and thr

Popular Abstract in English An increased risk of pre-cancer lesions of the cervix among HIV-infected women, and the positive impact of HIV treatment on its outcome has been reported globally. However there is paucity of information from west Africa with genetically distinct viral strains. Considering that HIV strains differ in the rate and pattern of HIV disease progression, a different outcome isBackground: The highest numbers of HIV-infected women are in sub- Saharan Africa, where the natural progression of HIV disease in the absence of treatment results in death before the onset of invasive cervical cancer. With improved access to treatment, several studies outside West Africa demonstrated an increased risk of pre-invasive cervical lesions among HIV-infected women and the positive impac

Study I: Thirteen patients underwent a modified Ross operation in which the free-standing pulmonary autograft was supported externally by a Dacron vascular prosthetic jacket (DVPJ). The tailor-made DVPJ prevented dilatation of the neo-aortic root significantly following a median follow-up of 47 months compared to a cohort of l3 matched patients undergoing conventional Ross operation. Study II: A

WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS Previous comparisons between open and endovascular repair of popliteal aneurysms have focused on asymptomatic patients, and have short follow up. This study is strengthened by the fact that it is contemporary, population based, without any selection bias, reporting on all kinds of presentations, and has approximately 90% 1 year follow up data. It shows that endovascular repair

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med stigande ålder försvagas våra vävnader. Om bukväggen i ljumsken blir för svag, så kan bukinnehållet pressas ut genom svagheten. Detta kallas för ljumskbråck. Sjukdomen är mycket vanligare hos män och drabbar alla åldrar. Ju äldre man är, desto vanligare att man drabbas av ett ljumskbråck. Man upplever då, framför allt vid ansträngning, en oftast rörlig och ibland smBackground: In the nineties, the patients with inguinal hernias were exposed to several newly developed repair techniques using alloplastic mesh prosthesis. Although the scientific knowledge was limited, the new techniques were rapidly introduced due to surgical enthusiasm, but also by an eagerness to reduce the recurrence rate and to shorten the time to recovery. When the first study of this thes

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur kommer det sig att liknande reformprogram återfinns i olika länder? Varför väljs vissa idéer framför andra? Avhandlingen syftar till att öka förståelsen av så kallad policydiffusion, spridning av olika typer av policy, och den dynamik som omgärdar spridningen. Detta görs genom att undersöka hur externa, eller utländska, idéer integreras och översätts i en ny omgivniSimilar policies may be found in different countries. This, in turn, is an indication that policies travel. But why are certain policies imitated while others are not? The author seeks to further our understanding of policy diffusion and its dynamics by investigating how foreign ideas are integrated and translated into new contexts, and how these imported ideas influence national policymaking and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Faderskap är en familjepolitisk angelägenhet där staten går in och intervenerar och på så sätt fostrar fäder. Tyngdpunkten ligger på att uppmuntra fadersnärvaro och att förmå frånvarande fäder att ta ansvar för sina barn. Detta ger oss en bild av vad som uppfattas som bra fäder och vad som avviker från normen. Den sociala barnavården är en kontext som verkar inom den soThis dissertation deals with fathers of children subjected to child welfare investigations. They are "fathers called into question" and their fatherhood is not very much investigated so far. The dominating picture is that the fathers are absent, to their children as well as in research and social work literature. Two Swedish contexts are presented. These represent different interpretations of "the
