High accuracy and low computational costs are essential properties for efficient finite element codes. Improvements of the finite element method in order to satisfy these qualities have been the subject for extensive research activities ever since its introduction. In this thesis, a class of improved low-order finite elements is proposed which possesses high accuracy in bending even for coarse
BACKGROUND: The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), the standard measure of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), has limitations in reflecting disease severity.RESEARCH QUESTION: Is high hypoxic burden (HB) more strongly associated with major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events (MACCEs) than AHI≥ 30/h?STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: This secondary analysis of the RICCADSA observational cohort included 3
Objective: To characterize the trend of opioid use (number of users, dispensations and oral morphine milligram equivalents) in Catalonia (Spain). Design, setting, and participants: This population-based cohort study included all individuals aged 18 years or older, registered in the Information System for Research in Primary Care (SIDIAP), which covers >75% of the population in Catalonia, Spain, fr
Two large-scale randomized screening trials, the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovary (PLCO) cancer trial in the USA and the European Randomized Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) trial in Europe are currently under way, aimed at assessing whether screening reduces prostate cancer mortality. Up to the end of 1998, 102,691 men have been randomized to the intervention arm and 115,322 to the contr
Introduction: Our objective was to investigate the trajectories of anxiety, depression, emotional and social functioning in women with newly diagnosed vulvar cancer from the time of diagnosis to 12 months after treatment. A further aim was to identify risk factors for high levels of anxiety. Material and methods: PROVE (PROspective Vulvar Cancer Evaluation) is a nationwide longitudinal cohort stud
BACKGROUND:Although oxygen therapy has been used for over a century in the management of patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI), recent studies have raised concerns around the efficacy and safety of supplemental oxygen in normoxaemic patients.OBJECTIVE:To synthesise the evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effects of supplemental oxygen therapy
Background: Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a life-threatening disease where early diagnosis is critical to avoid morbidity and mortality from extensive irreversible bowel necrosis. Appropriate prediction of presence of bowel necrosis is currently not available but would help to choose the optimal method of treatment. The study aims to identify combinations of biomarkers that can reliably iden
SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with an increased rate of venous thromboembolism in critically ill patients. Since surgical patients are already at higher risk of venous thromboembolism than general populations, this study aimed to determine if patients with peri-operative or prior SARS-CoV-2 were at further increased risk of venous thromboembolism. We conducted a planned sub-study and analysis fro
All languages borrow words from other languages. Some languages are more prone to borrowing, while others borrow less, and different domains of the vocabulary are unequally susceptible to borrowing. Languages typically borrow words when a new concept is introduced, but languages may also borrow a new word for an already existing concept. Linguists describe two causalities for borrowing: need, i.e.
Circular economy (CE) is still a nascent research field in the built environment, however, has gained traction in the last decade. Despite it being generally accepted that sustainability consists of three dimensions, namely, social, environmental, and economic, CE has been criticised for focusing on environmental and economic impact whilst neglecting the social aspect. Further, CE has been critici
OBJECTIVE: Developing and validating a risk assessment tool aiming to identify older adults (≥65 years) at increased risk of possibly medication-related readmission to hospital within 30 days of discharge.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.SETTING: The risk score was developed using data from a hospital in southern Sweden and validated using data from four hospitals in the mid-eastern part of Swed
The industrial sector in Sweden accounted for 38 percent of the country’s total energy consumption in 2019. As the world’s focus has shifted drastically on energy consumption, the industry sector’s has as well due to energy initiatives and government-driven regulations. The energy issue is currently of great relevance for energy-intensive industries where enormous potential remains due to factors
I vissa fall är frågan om vad som i rättskrafthänseende är att betrakta som samma gärning – och därmed om ett andra åtal avseende gärningen i så fall ska avvisas – särskilt svår att lösa. Detta gäller bl.a. det samlade narkotikabrottet. Narkotikabrottet innehåller en mängd olika befattningar med narkotika och brottet kan pågå under en längre tid. Det kan därför vara svårt att avskilja liknande gärWhen it comes to legal force of a judgement, the question whether what is to consider the same act – in which case a second prosecution should be dismissed – is sometimes a difficult one. That is the case when it comes to drug-related crime. The drug offence in Swedish law contains a wide range of different dispositions with narcotics and the crime can be committed over an extended period of time.
När någon går bort försvinner inte det den avlidne efterlämnar sig automatiskt. Ett dödsbo bildas som omfattar den avlidnes tillgångar och skulder. Normalt sett kommer dödsboet att förvaltas av dödsbodelägarna, det vill säga de som på något sätt kommer ha del av det som ingår i dödsboet genom arv eller genom testamente. Det ska eventuellt göras en bodelning mellan efterlevande make och dödsboet. DWhen a person passes away, an estate takes form which includes all the deceased’s assets and liabilities. Normally the estate is being taken care of by the parties to the estate. The parties to the estate is everyone who has a rightful claim on the estate, either by heritage according to Swedish law or according to a will from the deceased. Sometimes a division of the joint property between the sp

Background: Omni-channel retailing has led to customers becoming more demanding and less tolerant than before. For instance, customers are demanding shorter delivery times, and higher precision in deliveries. Unless retailers adapt to an omni-channel approach today, their business is likely to suffer. To do so, more efficient planning of the supply chain is necessary. The first step of the plannin
More often than not one would encounter a problem, know that the solution has to meet some requirements, but do not how to start or how to progress towards solving it. Motivation for a computer that can solve the problem automatically without explicitly programming it is apparent, i.e. a computer that \programs itself", is greatly desired. The method of genetic programming has demonstrated it
Den 1 januari 2020 infördes bestämmelsen om sabotage mot blåljusverksamhet i brottsbalken. Med blåljusverksamhet avses polisen, räddningstjänsten och ambulanssjukvården. Det har runtom i landet skett olika typer av angrepp riktade mot blåljusverksamheten, bland annat stenkastning. Syftet med bestämmelsen är att skapa ett heltäckande skydd för blåljusverksamheten, då den har en viktig samhällsfunkt
I takt med att de finansiella marknadernas omfång och betydelse har ökat, har allmänhetens intresse för de finansiella marknaderna också ökat. Idag omsätter den svenska värdepappersmarknader flera miljarder kronor och ger upphov till ett växande informationsflöde. En anledning till det stora intresset för värde-pappersmarknader är bland annat att det internationella inslaget har ökat kraf-tigt. MyAs the financial markets grow and their importance increases, so has public interest. The financial markets in Sweden have a turnover of several billion Swedish kronor which goes some way to explain the current interest. Other reasons for the increasing public interest are the expanding transnational trade and the rapid evolution of trade technology. Illegal insider trading (insider dealing) is
Vårdboenden som vägvisare mot ett hållbart samhälle Vårdboendena i Helsingborgs stad har stora möjligheter att göra skillnad för klimatet och därmed visa vägen mot ett hållbart samhälle. Stora mängder engångsprodukter används på boendena men det finns åtgärder att vidta för att minska klimatpåverkan från samtliga. Det finns också god potential för att minska matsvinnet, bland annat genom bättre sDue to climate change, emissions of greenhouse gases must be reduced rapidly and natural resources must be used more sustainably. The public sector should lead the way to a more sustainable society and healthcare has been identified as an area that contributes to large emissions. The purpose of this study was to identify measures that can be taken to reduce the climate impact of the retirement ho
