Popular Abstract in Swedish Mekanisk ventilation kan medföra "ventilationsinducerad lungskada" (VILI), som kan öka sjuklighet och dödlighet i samband med akut lungskada (ALI). Flera ventilationssätt har föreslagits för att undvika VILI, men inte slutgiltigt utvärderats. En princip är att öka alveolär ventilation och CO2-elimination genom att minska ventilationen av de skadliga rummet, dead space. Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) may contribute to morbidity and mortality of acute lung injury (ALI). Lung protective ventilation (LPV), that reduces VILI, may involve low tidal volume (Vt). Particularly low Vt is possible if dead space ventilation is reduced e.g. by aspiration of dead space gas (ASPIDS). ASPIDS implies that gas rich in CO2 during expiration is aspirated through a separate c

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den största källan till läkemedelsrester i vattenmiljön är utgående renat avloppsvatten från våra kommunala reningsverk. Läkemedel är utvecklade för att ha olika typer av biologiska effekter. Vilka dessa är i människan är relativt välkänt, medan effekterna på vattenlevande organismer och andra djur till stor del är okända. Detta i kombination med deras resistens mot de The discharge of effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is considered to be the major source of residual pharmaceuticals frequently found in aquatic environments. The complex nature of such compounds tends to make conventional biological treatments aimed at their removal ineffective. The present thesis concerns the removal of 62 different active pharmaceutical ingredients commonly dete

Traditionally, control loops are closed using periodic sensing and actuation. When communication resources are scarce, however, much may be gained from transmitting only when something important has happened in the loop. This paper presents a simple model of the interference between event-based control loops caused by sharing a common medium, based on the coupled dynamics of a Markov chain represe

Imbalances in dopamine activity significantly contribute to the pathophysiology of several neuropsychiatric disorders, including addiction, ADHD, schizophrenia, impulse control disorders, and Parkinson's Disease. Neuro(active)steroids, comprising endogenous steroids that finely modulate neuronal activity, are considered crucial regulators of brain function and behavior, with implications in variou

There is increasing recognition of the role that artificial intelligence (AI) systems can play in managing health crises. One such approach, which allows for analysing the potential consequences of different policy interventions is agent-based social simulations (ABSS). Here, the actions and interactions of autonomous agents are modelled to generate virtual societies that can serve as a “testbed”

IntroductionAbout two thirds of in-hospital deaths following successful resuscitation aftercardiac arrest are due to hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury. (1,2) Most occur after adecision to withdraw from life sustaining therapy (WLST) in patients wheremeaningful neurological recovery is unlikely. (2) In 2021 the EuropeanResuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine(ESI

ALADDIN is a proposed fixed-target experiment at the LHC for the direct measurement of charm baryon dipole moments. The detector features a spectrometer and a Cherenkov detector, while the experimental technique is based on the phenomena of particle channelling and spin precession in bent crystals. TWOCRYST, a proof-of-principle test at the LHC for the proposed experiment, is planned during the LH

The short-time iterative adaptive approach is a spectral estimation alternative to the short-time Fourier transform for non-stationary vibration analysis. This technique offers a reduction in leakage effects and a higher resolution in exchange for a higher computational complexity. The short-time iterative adaptive approach can be summarized as a high-resolution data-dependent approach which has b
