Background: In the setting of primary percutaneous coronary intervention, patients with a chronic total occlusion in a non-infarct related artery were recently identified as a high-risk subgroup. It is unclear whether ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients with a chronic total occlusion in a non-infarct related artery should undergo additional percutaneous coronary intervention of the chronic

Traditionellt anses vulkanoklastiska interbeds ha dålig reservoarpotential på grund av de vulkaniska komponenterna, som lätt kan omvandlas till olika lermineral. Publicerade arbeten från interbasaltiska sedimentära avlagringar i Faroe-Shetlands Basin tyder dock på annat. Denna studie syftar därför till att utvärdera porositets- och permeabilitetsegenskaper hos vulkanoklastiska interbeds från FaroeTraditionally, volcaniclastic interbeds have been considered to have poor reservoir potential due to their volcanic components readily altering to various clay minerals, but published discoveries within lava successions in the Faroe-Shetland Basin may challenge this dogma. This study therefore, evaluates porosities and permeabilities for volcaniclastic interbeds from the Faroe Islands Basalt Group

We report modifications of a Kalman filter, were the intended application is signal processing in the validation of the control system in a dialysis monitor.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Förekomsten av finkorniga granitgångar är ett potentiellt problem vid lagring av kärnbränsle i berggrunden eftersom de utgör svaghetszoner. Det är därför viktigt att ta reda på hur dessa gångar beter sig i berggrunden. Huvudsyftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka om de finkorniga granitgångarna är kontrollerade av några strukturer i tunneln vid ÄspölaborThe occurrence of fine-grained granite (FGG) dykes is one of the potential problems in the storage of nuclear waste in the bedrock. It is therefore important to locate and characterise such dykes. The major object in this thesis is to investigate, whether the FGG dykes at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory (ÄHRL) are structurally controlled. This involves measuring the orientations of the dykes, to cor

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Oljebolagen i Sverige har bildat SPIMFAB (Svenska Petroleum Institutets Miljösaneringsfond AB) för att identifiera, undersöka och vid behov sanera gamla bensinstationsfastigheter. I Karlaby, Simrishamns kommun, har VBB Viak utfört undersökningar vid en nedlagd bensinstation för SPIMFAB:s räkning. Vattenprover visade att grundvattnet innehöll föroreningar i varieIn Karlaby, southeastern Skåne, the groundwater beneath a former petrol station has been showed to contain hydrocarbons. The objective of this project is to identify possible flowpaths that soluble contaminants may take, to delimit an area in which the contaminants may have spread and to calculate times needed for the contaminants to reach adjacent creeks. A geologic/hydrogeologic model over the i

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Denna studie går ut på att undersöka ifall det har skett någon förändring av vegetationen i Capriviregionen under åren 1992 till 1994. Caprivi är belägen i den nordöstra delen av Namibia och har sedan landet blev självständigt 1991 haft en kraftig befolkningsökning. När Unitagerillan drog sig tillbaka från området blev det säkrare för lokalbefolkningen att finnaThe Caprivi area, situated in the north-eastern part of Namibia, Africa, has experienced a high population increase during the latest ten years. Studies have shown that the vegetation has been influenced as the woodlands, that provide the population with timber and charcoal, have been cut down. Also, the fires have increased in the area, as the people need to cultivate the land in a higher degree.

The author of this work has launched a Swedish brand producing fine quality leather goods and acquired an atelier operating in the heart of Transylvania, Romania, with the manufacturing of leather goods since 1991. The production house now needs a new building in Cluj in order to grow and meet the new work ethics. As a response to the collapse of a sewing factory building in Bangladesh 2013, kill

Background: Treatment of patients with late-stage parkinsonism is often sub-optimal. Objective: To test the effectiveness of recommendations by a movement disorder specialist with expertise in late-stage parkinsonism. Methods: Ninety-one patients with late-stage parkinsonism considered undertreated were included in apragmatic a pragmatic multi-center randomized-controlled trial with six-month foll
