Introduction: Assessing left ventricular (LV) systolic function in a rapid and reliable way can be challenging in the critically ill patient. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and reliability of, as well as the association between, commonly used LV systolic parameters, by using serial transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Methods: Fifty patients with shock and mechanical ve
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the gut mucosa is a reservoir for enterovirus persistence in patients with type 1 diabetes. Small intestine biopsy samples from 25 individuals at different stages of type 1 diabetes, 21 control individuals and 27 individuals with coeliac disease were analysed for the presence of enterovirus RNA by using both radioactive in-situ hybridisation and
The ubiquity of the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) allows for it to be carried across all spectrums of society and moulded to fit a variety of different norms and understandings. Despite the lack of a universal definition, the modern-day understanding of CSR is heavily based upon corporation’s environmental and sustainable development practices. However, it is continuously critic
Abstract Research questions: Which dynamic service innovation capabilities are used in different types of service innovation? How are they used in the different types? And why does their application vary? Methodology: The study has been conducted through investigating multiple cases within a single case company and followed a qualitative research strategy to identify (the application of) dynamic
This thesis aims to deconstruct the manner in which cultural differences are perceived and dealt with in international and multicultural school in Sweden by combining postcolonial and poststructuralist theories. Applying Bhabha’s theoretical turn from cultural diversity to cultural differences, ethnographic methods were used to examine parents’ and staff member’s relationship with these difference
Feedback controllers are typically applied to computing systems by acting on some quantities ("tunable parameters" in the computer science lexicon, e.g., a packet drop rate) to attain some goal (e.g., a required bandwidth allocation). In other words, control loops are closed around the computing system. In the authors' opinion, this is definitely a partial use of control. Many critical parts of co
Osteosarcoma is a malignant cancer of the bone mainly affecting adolescents. Despite progress, the clinical management of osteosarcoma is still challenging. With the current chemotherapy protocol being used for more than 30 years, the number of poor responders is increasing. Although new treatments have been explored since then, no improved tumor eradication effect have been found. In the present

Agenda 2030 Graduate School monthly newsletter #6 2023-09-11 Ylva van Meeningen Hi! There is a feeling of change in the air. Not just because autumn is fast approaching, but a lot seem to be happening locally and globally. In our own little bubble, there will be a change in the graduate school office. In a bigger context the United Nations will convene in one week’s time where the leaders of the w

This Master Essay discusses the impact of the speed of transition on economic growth in transition countries after 1995. The existing literature reveals that output growth during transition is determined by measures for structural reforms, macroeconomic stability and initial conditions. Furthermore control variables are added. The research question is investigated with the help of a panel data ana
In 1973, the psychologist Tajfel proposed the Social Identity Theory which claimed that human behaviour is affected by the social relation of the people involved in a given situation, as documented by Burke (2006). The culture and language of Japan seem to embody the aspects of this theory as social relation is portrayed frequently, if not constantly, through the use of language. Academics such as
The phenomenon of migration is a highly debated topic in international politics, rising in importance on the global agenda. This can be seen in the securitisation of migration policies of the EU, who has sought to restrict migration and sharpen border controls since mid-70s. In this process Turkey is of vital importance, considered one of the main ‘bridges’ for transit migration into the EU. Thus,
In this study the efficiency of a pre-treatment method planned to treat wastewater produced at a waste treatment facility in Rönneholm (Skåne, Southern Sweden) was evaluated. At this waste treatment facility, operated by the publicly owned waste recycling company MERAB, a treatment is needed to lower concentrations of potentially environmentally detrimental contents in the wastewater to an extent
Bakgrund: Företag Green som är en svensk detaljhandelskedja har beslutat sig för att etablera ett centrallager. Enligt Abrahamsson et al. (2011) blir centrallager och distributionscenter allt vanligare bland företag inom detaljhandeln. I och med etableringen av centrallagret är Företag Green intresserade av att få djupare kunskap i hur en inköpsorganisation påverkas. Områden som de är intresserade
Detection of Listeria monocytogenes by the microbiological standard method (ISO 11290-1) is time consuming and requires several days to get results, thus a more rapid detection method is required. The aim of this study is to continue the optimization of a rapid method that is based on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to detect L. monocytogenes in food matrices. The method is based on
The role of geographical distance on the flow of knowledge has been debated in empirical work over the past decades. The magnitude of this relationship is usually attributed to the type of knowledge in question; in which tacit knowledge—the focus of the thesis—is usually associated with a negative relationship. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate said role in the context of tacit knowledge f
This study explores Baugruppen co-housing communities in Berlin. In comparison to the general focus on economic and environmental development objectives, socially sustainable goals remain unclear. This thesis focusses on how co-housing residents initiate and fulfil their co-housing goals. It also considers how urban co-housing as a regeneration project aimed to strengthen social cohesion relates t
Why are there only 21% female politicians in the highest decision-making body, the Parliamentary Assembly, in Bosnia & Herzegovina, when there has been established a law that requires a 40% quota of gender representation in these positions? Because of all the laws and regulating documents that have been determined by the state to improve the gender inequality issue, it can fairly be claimed th
