Post-acute COVID-19 (PACS) are associated with cardiovascular dysfunction, especially postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Patients with PACS, both in the absence or presence of POTS, exhibit a wide range of persisting symptoms long after the acute infection. Some of these symptoms may stem from alterations in cardiovascular homeostasis, but the exact mechanisms are poorly understood.

High-energy heavy-ion collisions allow the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) production and study, a state of high-density QCD matter in which quarks and gluons are no longer confined inside hadrons for a very short time. Different observables reveal an enhanced production of strange hadrons, signatures of collective effects and opacity to jets due to the QGP formation. However, collective effects and stra

Climate warming has changed vegetation phenology, and the phenology-associated impacts on terrestrial water fluxes remain largely unquantified. The impacts are linked to plant adjustments and responses to climate change and can be different in different hydroclimatic regions. Based on remote sensing data and observed river runoff of hydrological station from six river basins across a hydroclimatic

An improved understanding of past interactions between terrestrial vegetation and various forcings, such as climate change, human impact, and paleofire, is crucial for assessing impacts of future global change on terrestrial ecosystems. This study seeks to find the key factor or factors that have driven Holocene vegetation change along the East Asian monsoon margin. Several high-resolution pollen

Memories may integrate elements experienced in different events. For instance, meeting a woman leaving her house, and later meeting another woman entering the same house, may allow us to infer that the two women live together. Such memory representations are thought to rely on integrative encoding mechanisms, allowing us to make inferences about the world and generalize knowledge to entirely new s

Heavy metal (HM) accumulation in soil and plants can occur when water contaminated with HMs is used as a source of irrigation (El-Salam Canal, Egypt). In this study, the effect of watering potato crop in sandy soil from a polluted water source under flood irrigation (FI), sprinkler irrigation (SI), and surface drip irrigation (DI) on the transport of the HMs copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb),

As the modern society becomes larger and increasingly diverse, its problems become more elusive and solutions far-fetched. This puts pressure on relevant education. Geographical knowledge, whose raison d’être has always been to deal with complexity, should therefore be in high demand, but isn’t. In this presentation we want to investigate why this is the case, by outlining three major problems geo

The understanding of patients under the age of 60 with hip fractures have been influenced by preconceptions that fractures are due to high-energy trauma and the risk of osteoporosis is low. The patients’ perspectives have seldomly been presented and the surgical results were insufficiently described. This thesis project was developed in response to the relative lack of research on this patient gro

Background: Increased solar and geomagnetic activity (SGA) may alter sympathetic nervous system activity, reduce antioxidant activity, and modulate physiochemical processes that contribute to atmospheric aerosols, all which may reduce pulmonary function. Objectives: Investigate associations between forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) with SGA, and assess whether

Kraftvärmeverk producerar el, och levererar värme till fjärrvärmenätet. Nätets returflöde till dessa verk har generellt en relativt hög temperatur, och det finns idag verksamheter som använder sig av denna returvärme för att värma upp anläggningar och utrymmen som har värmebehov. Det finns en potential att på liknande sätt utnyttja denna för uppvärmning av växthus, vilket utgör en synergimöjlighetCogeneration plants generate electricity and supply heat to the district heating network. The return flow from the network to these plants generally has a relatively high temperature, and there are currently operations that utilize this return heat to warm facilities and spaces with heating needs. There is potential to similarly use this return heat for greenhouse heating, which presents a synergy

This thesis investigates how human rights-based approaches (HRBAs) to disaster risk reduction mediate the relationship between international human rights law and local practice in the Philippines. It explores the processes of “vernacularization” and bottom-up influence. The former relates to adapting international human rights norms to local settings. The latter refers to local experiences and pra

Kollektivtrafiken är en viktig del av transportsektorn för att uppnå både EU:s och Sveriges klimatmål. För att fler resor ska kunna ersättas med hållbara resor behöver kollektivtrafiken bli mer attraktiv, och ett utvecklingsområde för det är att förbättra trafikinformationen. Trafikinformation värderas högt, inte bara utifrån dess tillgänglighet, utan även utifrån kvaliteten. Den påverkar både denPublic transport is an important part of the transport sector in achieving both the EU’s and Sweden’s climate goals. In order to replace more journeys with sustainable alternatives, public transport needs to become more attractive, and one area for development is the improvement of traffic information. Traffic information is highly valued, not only in terms of its availability, but also in terms o

This thesis investigates the operational performance of IKEA’s Order-Initiated Flow (OIF) model for the Food Category in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It examines how extended lead times impact product availability, shelf life, and cost efficiency, and identifies the underlying factors contributing to these challenges. The research aims to evaluate the alignment between the desig

The rapid advancements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years have reshaped markets globally, urging companies to keep up with the development to maintain competitiveness and capture first-mover advantages. Although AI adoption is increasing across sectors, it has been found that Swedish companies lag behind other countries, such as the US and China. A key challenge identified is the lack

The removal and neglect of climate policies - a process known as climate policy dismantling (CPD) - both nationally and internationally, is a growing field of critical climate research that has significant implications for long-term climate adaptation globally. Climate activists on social media have the potential to be both influential and representative of wider CPD discourse, and so provide an i

This thesis investigates how Armenia’s security dependence on Russia is discursively constructed and maintained through political texts. Analyzing the 1994 and 2020 ceasefire agreements ending the first and second Karabakh war, alongside 18 official statements from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2020–2025), the study argues that these texts function not only as records of geopolitical ev
