On-line supported liquid membrane (SLM) extraction and microporous membrane liquid-liquid extraction (MMLLE) techniques for sample preparation of natural water samples have been developed for the determination of thiophanate-methyl (TM), carbendazim (MBC) and 2-aminobenzimidazole (2-AB) using reversed-phase HPLC. The combination of SLM extraction and MMLLE offers extraction conditions that makes i

Background: Myocardial scar burden quantification is an emerging clinical parameter for risk stratification of sudden cardiac death and prediction of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. We investigated the relationships among semiautomated Selvester score burden and late gadolinium enhancement-cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) assessed scar burden and c

Background: Factor V-Short (FV756-1458) is a natural splice variant in which 702 residues are deleted from the B domain. It exposes an acid region (AR2; 1493–1537) that binds tissue factor pathway inhibitor alpha (TFPIα). Protein S also interacts with TFPIα and serves as TFPIα-cofactor in factor Xa (FXa) inhibition. FV-Short and protein S function as synergistic TFPIα-cofactors in inhibition of FX

Background: Displaced olecranon fractures with a stable elbow joint are classified as Mayo type 2a or 2b and are commonly operated with tension band wiring, i.e. two K-wires and a cerclage. Retrospective studies have reported fewer reoperations and complications with cerclage fixation alone when compared to tension band wiring, though with similar long-term results. We decided to compare tension b

Objectives: To assess the antiviral effect, clinical outcomes, and safety of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion inhibitor rilematovir in non-hospitalized RSV-infected adults. Methods: This phase 2a, double-blind, multicentre study randomly assigned RSV-positive adult outpatients ≤5 days from symptom onset 1:1:1 to receive rilematovir 500 mg, 80 mg, or placebo once-daily for 7 days. Antiv

Background: Nordic Lymphoma Group has conducted a phase ll trial in primary central nervous system lymphoma patients applying age-adjusted multi-agent immunochemotherapy regimen, which in elderly patients included temozolomide maintenance treatment. Design and Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed PCNSL aged 18-75 years were eligible. Sixty-six patients (median age 64 years) were enrolled. Two ag

There is a need for large trials that test the clinical effectiveness of interventions in the field of perioperative medicine. Clinical outcome measures used in such trials must be robust, clearly defined and patient-relevant. Our objective was to develop standards for the use of clinical outcome measures to strengthen the methodological quality of perioperative medicine research. A literature sea

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The treatment of acquired aplastic anemia (AA) is based on allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and immunosuppressive therapy. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of children and adults with AA treated in the last decade, and to determine whether results have improved in two sequential time periods,1991-1996 and 1997-2002. DESIGN AND METHODS: Two-thou

BACKGROUND: Serum creatinine is the most commonly used marker for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). To compensate for its drawbacks as a GFR marker, several prediction equations including several parameters are being used, with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), Schwartz, and Counahan-Barratt equations being the ones most widely accepted for estimation of relative GFR

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our lives and created wide-reaching impacts. Societies worldwide have confronted the crisis with grassroots mobilisation and social resilience. Civil society uncovers injustices by actively participating in the local decentralised pandemic response. This micro-level study provides insight into a long-standing social movement organisation’s framing of the crisis.

Speditörens roll har ständigt utvecklats till att omfatta alltfler tjänster varvid en del, främst de större speditionsfirmorna, har börjat erbjuda lösningar inom fjärdepartslogistik. I detta koncept ingår, förutom transport och lagring, även en stor grupp tjänster kallade mervärdestjänster vilka kan utföras t.ex. i lagret, på terminal eller i köparens (tredjemans) lokaler. Jag har valt att fokuser

Sustainability issues within the fashion market is frequently debated. Especially, whether fast fashion can be considered as sustainable. This bachelor thesis draws on the discussion about fast fashion and sustainability, and how different discourses is being reproduced within different media outlets. By comparing journalistic articles about fast fashion and sustainability from the news media outl

This thesis investigates the political-economic context that underlies the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme (KETS). The idea of trading carbon as a commodity in the carbon market has been embraced by many regions to reduce carbon emissions and to mitigate climate change. The government of South Korea has started to implement the emissions trading mechanism since 2015 to curtail the national greenho

The upcoming EU Regulation on prohibiting products made with forced labour on the Union market is forming the occasion for this Master’s Thesis. In particular, the topic of forced labour is analysed to provide a brief insight into the necessity of the Regulation. Furthermore, a variety of international and European legal instruments are compared to the new Regulation in order to identify the actua

As climate change adaptation becomes more mainstreamed, there has been an increasing focus on incorporating local knowledge to ensure equitable adaptation pathways. However, adaptation discourses prioritize scientific understandings of climate change, ignoring epistemological differences in knowing climate change. Interventions treat space as inert and fail to consider how spatial relationships co

Purpose: Whey protein (WP) consumption prior to a meal curbs appetite and reduces postprandial glucose (PPG) through stimulating endogenous GLP-1 secretion and insulin. Methods: We assessed the metabolic effects of a concentrated WP, using a new micelle-technology (WPM), in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and overweight or obesity (NCT04639726). In a randomized-crossover design, participants per
