Background Trauma audit filters, based on standards of care, serve as quality indicators and screening tools for patient cases to be assessed at interdisciplinary morbidity and mortality conferences. These conferences aim to identify potential opportunities for improvement in the care of trauma patients. This study aimed to determine the performance of individual audit filters in predicting opport
This paper will discuss the memory-political narrative of the Tower of David Museum, located in the Old City of Jerusalem/al Quds. As part of a current research project on the role of urban imageries and spaces in constructions of Middle Eastern nationalisms, it will explore how the museum is part and parcel of the interwoven historiographic, cultural, and political quest to normalise and obscure
The Arctic is at the forefront of climate change and is considered to be the most at risk, warming at twice the rate of the global annual average. The environment and its inhabitants are and will be subjected to deep transformational shifts, with changes in temperature and climate having potentially worldwide repercussions. Global attention for the Arctic region has further risen by the increasing
Stickiness of different food products on surfaces can occur naturally during food filling in Tetra Recart form- and seal machines. The aim of this thesis was to develop a model and an adhesion test method for determining and understanding this stickiness. More specifically for the food products whole peeled tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, mandarin chops and peach halves on stainless-steel. Additionall
Snabba förändringar i landskapet kan orsaka stora problem för olika ekosystemtjänster, speciellt när förändringarna sker i utsatta landskap. En sådan förändring har skett i Sverige de senaste hundra åren då skog har planterats på övergivna hagar, eller i vissa fall, även planterats på åkermark. Denna förändring beror på minskningen av djur ute på landsbygden, samt urbaniseringen som sker över hela
Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent plasma protein. It functions as a cofactor to activated protein C in the inactivation of factors Va and VIIIa by limited proteolysis. Protein S is very sensitive to proteolysis by thrombin which reduces its calcium ion binding and leads to a loss of its cofactor activity. We have now determined the sequence of the 100 amino-terminal amino acid residues and locali
Postural control was studied in 22 subjects with vestibular neruitis within 14 days after the onset of symptoms. Dynamic feed back control of posture were evaluated by analyzing the postural responses to vibration toward calf muscles applied according to a PRBS schedule. Properties of the dynamic control was normalized as swiftness, stiffness and damping of the responses. There was no prominent gr
This paper describes the implementation and application of a previously published semi-empirical tire-model in a multi-body modeling and simulation environment for vehicle dynamics analysis. The multi-body modeling environment is based on acausal equation descriptions expressed in the high-level language Modelica. This paradigm for modeling is particularly useful for the semi-empirical model. Exam
Abstract in UndeterminedNanoindentation has recently gained attention as a characterization technique for mechanical properties of biological tissues, such as bone, on the sub-micron level. However, optimal methods to characterize viscoelastic properties of bones are yet to be established. This study aimed to compare the time-dependent viscoelastic properties of bone tissue obtained with different
This paper discusses the landscape of sexual violence in the DR Congo, it draws attention to agency, violence, personhood, emotions and understanding of sexual violence by perpetrators, victims and those organizations seeking to combat the phenomenon. DR Congo have been cited by international actors and media as a region where sexual violence is used "as a weapon of war" and women's situation is c
Bangladesh has made significant progress in health indicators in recent years in spite of her low level of income. This is mainly due to the commitment of the state supported by donors in providing preventive care with respect to child health and family planning. However, there are serious problems related to both access and quality of curative care that hurt the poor most. Infrastructures for ser
It is argued that we live in a post-industrial society with a transition from the production of goods to services. It is also said we live in a knowledge economy where creation, distribution, use and manipulation of information are significant activities (Dahlbom, 2003). The word industrial has a connotation of mass-production of products and, logically also industrial design has this connotation.
