I projektet har ett verktyg eller metod för bestämning av risk i vårdavdelningar tagits fram. Verktyget, Brandskyddsvärdering av vårdavdelningar (BSV-vård) kan användas för att bestämma den relativa säkerheten för olika avdelningar vad avser brand. Meningen är att BSV-vård skall kunna användas som ett komplement vid brandsyn. Verktyget kan också tjäna som checklista vid nyproduktion då den också g
We use the Fleissig and Whitney [Fleissig, A.R., Whitney, G.A., 2003. A new PC-based test for Varian's weak separability conditions. Journal of Business and Economics Statistics 21 (1), 133-144] weak separability test to determine admissible levels of monetary aggregation for the Euro area. We find that the Euro area monetary assets in M2 and M3 are weakly separable and construct admissible Divisi
This essay presents a speculative work on making distinctions among different equally valid types of research relevance. The work is innovative not only because it departs from the extant monistic perspectives, where only narrow forms of relevance are acknowledged, towards a pluralist perspective, but also because it recognizes and accounts for the plurality in the perceptions of relevance among d
This study aims to investigate how the former British colonies, Nigeria and Sierra Leone have developed after gaining independence and which factors have played the most significant role in their economic growth. The two countries have experienced different economic growth which justifies the purpose of the study. This will be conducted using a 'Most Similar Design System'. The goal of thi
This study uses a specifically constructed sub-national dataset on Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak cases, deaths, and CFR in order to look at the question of how important various socio-economic factors were in determining the intensity and severity of the 2013-2016 EVD outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The results of the OLS model shows that the socio-economic conditions in differ
The airline industry is undergoing hard time after the deregulation. Incumbents are facing increased competition from the new entrants- low cost airlines and try to keep their market share, which is mainly composed of business travelers to themselves. At the same time low cost airlines by providing low cost, point-to-point services try to compete with incumbents. Strategies of both incumbent and l
The road haulage sector experiences a considerable amount of inefficiency, characterised by sub-optimal utilisation of an individual vehicle’s cubic load fill and weight hauling capacity. This study firstly aims to understand why – despite its evident economic and environmental cost – this phenomenon has existed over the years. Next, an overview of initiatives and opportunities for improving freig
I denna kandidatuppsats behandlas David Foster Wallaces författarskap och hur han reflekterade kring skrivandet. Syftet att undersöka en författares synpunkt på relationen mellan litteraturen och filosofin, samt det privata och det offentliga. Detta görs genom att utforska Wallaces uttalanden kring ämnet i olika skeden utav hans författarskap. Då vissa filosofiska teorier framträder i detta samman

Participants. Consecutive patients referred for colonoscopy at each center. Intervention. Appropriateness criteria developed by the European Panel on the Appropriateness of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, u
Targeted temperature management (TTM) may moderate the injury from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Slowing the metabolism has been a suggested effect. Nevertheless, studies have found higher lactate levels in patients cooled to 33°C compared with 36°C even days from TTM cessation. Larger studies have not been performed on the TTM's effect on the metabolome. Accordingly, to explore the effect of TT
Background: The discovery of disease-associated loci through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is the leading genetic approach to the identification of novel biological pathways underlying diseases in humans. Until recently, GWAS in ischaemic stroke have been limited by small sample sizes and have yielded few loci associated with ischaemic stroke. We did a large-scale GWAS to identify additio
Lantbruket rankas konsekvent som en av de mest riskfyllda sektorerna i Sverige såväl som i många andra delar av världen. Förutom lidande för den enskilde beräknas dödliga och icke dödliga skador i svenskt lantbruk kosta samhället 2 – 3 miljarder kr per år. I Sverige inträffade det cirka 5 000 olyckor på jordbruksföretag 2004. Detta innebar att minst en olycka inträffade på 8% av svenska gårdar som
Concepts are an important element of the way international lawyers think and talk about international law. They materialise as conceptual terms, such as ‘jurisdiction’, ‘self-defence’ and ‘abuse of rights’. To enable a critical evaluation of international law and legal discourse, it is important that single instances of use of such terms be fully understood. This task presupposes a full recognitio
Aim/hypothesis: Environmental factors are believed to contribute to the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate how size for gestational age affects the risk of developing childhood type 1 diabetes. Methods: Using the Swedish paediatric diabetes quality register and the Swedish medical birth register, children with type 1 diabetes diagnosed between 2000 and 201
Background: Despite optimal dopaminergic treatment most patients in moderate to advanced stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) experience progressively increasing disabilities, necessitating a shift from oral medication to device-aided therapies, including deep brain stimulation (DBS), intrajejunal levodopa-carbidopa infusion (IJLI), and continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI). However, t
OBJECTIVE: To investigate feasibility and target engagement of high-dose, add-on pramipexole treatment in anhedonic depression.METHOD: In this open-label pilot study, we included 12 patients with unipolar or bipolar, moderate-to-severe depression and with significant anhedonia symptoms. All patients were on a stable dose of one or a combination of antidepressants and/or mood stabilizers and receiv
The aim of this chapter was to analyze associations between measures of cortisol in saliva withmeasures of perceived stress, using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and of psychological resources interms of mastery, locus of control, self-esteem and sense of coherence. Only studies on healthy individualswere included and cortisol measures were grouped into single time point measures, deviation mea
