BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE—: Compared with ischemic stroke (IS), the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with transient ischemic attack (TIA) is less well established. We aimed to assess the proportion of AF in patients with TIA, and these patients’ characteristics and secondary preventive treatment in comparison to patients with IS. METHODS—: Hospital-based data on TIA and IS events, registered f
This report presents a literature review about energy-efficient retrofit of electric lighting and daylighting systems in buildings. The review, which covers around 160 research articles, discusses the following energy retrofit strategies: replacement of lamp, ballast or luminaire; use of task-ambient lighting design; improvement in maintenance; reduction of maintained illuminance levels; improveme
The osphradium is a putative chemosensory organ of aquatic molluscs. Previously, we identified two distinct types of primary sensory neurons in the osphradial ganglion of freshwater pulmonates, one immunoreactive to leucine-enkephalin (LEnk-ir) and another to FMRFamide (FMRFa-ir). In addition, NADPH diaphorase (NADPHd)-positive elements apparently producing nitric oxide (NO) were demonstrated in t
Among the issues relating to the needs of citizens with reduced functional capacity, accessibility problems throughout society are gaining interest. The focus of this paper is on methodology for assessment of urban public bus transport accessibility. The aims are to describe the development of a pilot version of a new instrument, the Travel Chain Enabler, and to identify problems to target for fur
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused division among nations, with large parts of the Global South either refraining from condemning Russia or outright criticizing the West for its pro-Ukraine stance. It highlights the need to examine Russia’s public diplomacy efforts and ability to attract parts of the Global South in the context of the war. Based on this notion, the following thesis examin
Introduction: This thesis explores the integration of EEG into wearable devices, emphasizing its evolution from clinical to non-clinical settings and its significance in depression treatment. Method: Employing three EEG systems (Emotiv EPOC Flex, IDUN Guardian, and OpenBCI Cyton), the study investigates their efficacy in non-clinical environments. Experiments focused on optimal brain region identi
30 juni 2022 trädde en omfattande ändring av lag (1982:80) om anställ-ningsskydd i kraft. Ändringarna syftade dels till att göra det lättare för ar-betstagare att komma in samt få en trygg anställning på arbetsmarknaden, dels att göra det enklare och mer flexibelt för arbetsgivare att anställa och avsluta anställningar och därmed minska riskerna med att anställa. Bland annat bytte allmän visstidOn June 30, 2022, a comprehensive amendment to the Employment Protec-tion Act (1982:80) came into effect. The changes aimed to make it easier for employees to enter and secure employment in the labor market, as well as to simplify and provide more flexibility for employers in hiring and terminating employment, thereby reducing the risks associated with hiring. Amongst other changes "general f
Digitalisation and its effect on the circular economy have been a major debate. Thus, this study investigates the possible contributions of Digital Business Models (DBMs) toward the Circular Economy (CE) by utilising circular economy core values through its multiple dimensions. Following a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants in the retail sector.
Quantum graphs having one cycle are considered. It is shown that if the cycle contains at least three vertices. then the potential oil the graph can be uniquely reconstructed from the corresponding Titchmarsh-Weyl function (Dirichlet-to-Neumann map) associated with graph's boundary, provided certain non-resonant conditions are satisfied
Even though there has been a rapid development in instrumentation and applications of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), relatively little is known about retention mechanisms compared to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Much effort has been made to characterize the influence of injection solvents on chromatographic efficiency in HPLC, however has been left rather uninvestigate
Healthy regeneration of tissue relies on a well-orchestrated release of growth factors. Herein, we show the use of synthetic glycosaminoglycans for controlled binding and release of growth factors to induce a desired cellular response. First, we screened glycosaminoglycans with growth factors of interest to determine kon (association rate constant), koff (dissociation rate constant), and Kd (equil
