Background: Two acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) subphenotypes (hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory) with distinct clinical and biological features and differential treatment responses have been identified using latent class analysis (LCA) in seven individual cohorts. To facilitate bedside identification of subphenotypes, clinical classifier models using readily available clinical var

Purpose: Despite the significant role of varicocele in the pathogenesis of male infertility, the impact of varicocele repair (VR) on conventional semen parameters remains controversial. Only a few systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) have evaluated the impact of VR on sperm concentration, total motility, and progressive motility, mostly using a before-after analytic approach. No SRMA to da

With the European minimum wage directive adopted in 2022, all European countries will be obliged to protect and promote collective bargaining. Where collective bargaining coverage is below 80 per cent, they will be obliged to draw up and implement national action plans in 2025 to increase coverage.

Importance: International guidelines recommend body temperature control below 37.8 °C in unconscious patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA); however, a target temperature of 33 °C might lead to better outcomes when the initial rhythm is nonshockable. Objective: To assess whether hypothermia at 33 °C increases survival and improves function when compared with controlled normothermia in

The aim of the present European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations on the acute management of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). These guidelines were prepared following the Standard Operational Procedure of the ESO and according to the GRADE methodology. Although BAO accounts for only 1%–2% of all strokes, it has very poor natural outcome.

The use of manufactured nanomaterials is increasing globally. Although multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are used in a wide range of applications, only limited data are available on emissions and exposures during CNT composite production. No exposure data using portable aethalometers in the personal breathing zone (PBZ) to monitor occupational exposure to CNTs have yet been published. The aim o

Fåglar har relativt stora ögon för sina kroppsstorlekar och syn är en kostsam sinnesförmåga, speciellt för flygande djur eftersom stora ögon medför extra vikt. Man kan därför anta att fåglar använder synen för viktiga beteenden. De flesta fåglars färgseende är tetrakromatiskt, vilket innebär att fyra typer av fotoreceptorer bidrar till deras färgseende. Det innebär att deras färgseende har en extrBirds use colour vision for many biologically relevant behaviours such as foraging and mate choice. Bird colour vision is mediated by four types of single cones, giving them an extra dimension of colour information compared to trichromatic humans. The cone photoreceptors of birds have coloured oil droplets that are assumed to increase the discriminability of colours in bright light at the cost of

Background: Traditionally managed semi-natural pastures are recognised for their high biodiversity. One drawback is that these pastures are often low in fodder production and hence rather unprofitable, which may lead to abandonment. Two ways to increase production and profitability and maintain grazing are to (i) offer the grazers supplementary feed, or (ii) co-enclose the semi-natural pasture wit

Interactions between Prostate Cancer and Bone Marrow Cells Promote Cancer Metastasis Prostate cancer (PCa) results in death for around 300.000 men every year and is the fifth most dangerous form of cancer for this sex. Many treatments are available but when the cancer has metastasized to the bone marrow (BM) the outcome is rarely positive. In our newly developed molecule we have found a possibly

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur avtalsmekanismen I AvtL påverkas av den ökande digitaliseringen i samhället. Uppsatsen avser även att undersöka hur den ökade användningen av AI, som på vissa sätt har en nära koppling till digitaliseringen, påverkar avtalsmekanismen. AvtL har länge kritiserats för att vara gammal och ineffektiv men på senare år har mer positiva ståndpunkter yttrats. UppsaThe purpose of this study is to investigate the ways that the Swedish Contracts Act on the formation of contracts is affected by the increasing digitalization in our society. The study also aims to investigate how the increased use of AI, which in some ways is closely correlated to digitalization, effects the formation on contracts. The Swedish Contracts Act has long been critiqued for being old a

Andelen förnybar kraft växer i produktionsmixen, med löften om att ersätta traditionell fossilintensiv kraftproduktion. I kombination med en trend mot elektrifiering av transporter uppstår nya möjligheter som användning av elfordon för att hantera variabiliteten i förnybar kraftproduktion. Detta examensarbete utforskar potentialen i att använda sådana balanserande tekniker, ofta refererade till soThe share of renewable power grows in the generation mix, wielding promises of substituting traditional CO2-intensive power production. In combination with the trend towards electrification of transport, opportunities are emerging to use electric vehicles for balancing the variability of the renewable power sources. This master thesis explores the potential for such balancing techniques, often ref

The options of procreation, reproduction or bringing into existence a child of a particular parentage, including motherhood, are related to the advancement of science. Nowadays it is possible for a woman to become pregnant and afterwards give birth to a child which, by using medical assistance, is actually made from other womans oocyte. The term gestational carriage refers to being pregnant and th

En medlemsstats nationella inkomstskatteregel som hindrar eller inskränker EUF-fördragets bestämmelser om fri rörlighet kan anses vara rättfärdigad om den uppfyller vissa kriterier.

Detta innebär att uppsatsen innehåller en redogörelse för det så kallade rule of reason-testetA member state’s national income tax legislation, which prevents or restricts the provisions on free movement in the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union, can be justified if it meets certain criteria. The essence of this thesis is the assessment made by the European Court of Justice (the Court) to determine whether the legislation is justified or not. This means that this thesis contai

Abstract The blue gum psyllid, Ctenarytaina eucalypti (Homoptera: Psylloidea), is an economic threat to Eucalyptus plantations worldwide. To date, no efficient control method is available for this pest and the potential for semiochemical-based monitoring or control methods have not yet been investigated. Hence, I conducted the first study on the olfactory sense of C. eucalypti, investigating the

Att man kan använda röntgenstrålning för att ta bilder på kroppens inre har varit känt sedan sent 1800-tal och idag finns det en mängd olika röntgenapparater. En sådan är datortomografen, computed tomography (CT) på engelska. Med datortomografi är det möjligt att avbilda patienten i tre dimensioner, istället för vid slätröntgen där man endast får ut en tvådimensionell bild. Detta möjliggör en bättPurpose/Background Dual Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) have been clinically available for over ten years. Two such systems are currently used at Skane University Hospital (SUS) in Lund. By utilizing materials different attenuating properties at different energies, material decomposition and iodine quantification is possible. The aim of this master thesis was to compare the two DECT systems and

A raised awareness around climate change has been followed by different initiatives and targets being set around the world to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Pressure is not only being placed on international and national bodies but also on local communities, industries, businesses and even individual households. The most prominent international action is the funding of the United Nations Frame

I januari 2009 fick en student vid ett vuxengymnasium i Tensta besked om att hon inte tilläts bära niqab i skolan. Niqaben, som är en heltäckande slöja där endast ögonen är synliga, medförde enligt skolan pedagogiska svårigheter såväl som säkerhetsrisker. Händelsen anmäldes till Diskrimineringsombudsmannen och studenten tilläts gå kvar på skolan i väntan på myndighetens beslut. Frågan om dylika heIn January of 2009 a student at an upper secondary school for adults in Tensta was informed that she was not allowed to wear a niqab to school. According to the school board, the niqab, which is a full veil that leaves only the eyes fully visible, implied both security risks as well as pedagogical difficulties. The incident was reported to the Equality Ombudsman, and awaiting the Ombudsman’s decis

The Ulysses spacecraft has been orbiting the Sun on a highly inclined ellipse (i = 79 degrees, perihelion distance 1.3 AU, aphelion distance 5.4 AU) since it encountered Jupiter in 1992. Between January 2000 and December 2004, the spacecraft completed almost an entire revolution about the Sun, passing through perihelion in May 2001 and aphelion in July 2004. In this five-year period the dust detec
