Patients in Opioid Substitution Treatment (OST) have increased mortality and morbidity, with circulatory conditions suggested to be a contributing factor. Since OST patients tend to have unmet physical healthcare needs, a small-scale intervention providing on-site primary healthcare (PHC) in OST clinics was implemented in Malmö, Sweden in 2016. In this study, we assessed registered circulatory con
A relativistic transient absorption theory is derived, implemented and validated within the dipole approximation based on the time-dependent Dirac equation. In the non-relativistic limit, it is found that the absorption agrees with the well established non-relativistic theory based on the time-dependent Schrödringer equation. Time-dependent simulations have been performed using the Dirac equation
The first few centuries of the second millennium saw drastic changes in Coastal California and the American Southwest. In both areas, systems of internal trade intensified, and social systems sped down a path of increasing complexity. Following Peter Peregrine and Stephen Lekson (2006, 2012), we do not believe that these neighboring developments were purely coincidental. Rather, we see California
The detrimental effects of increased length of stay at the emergency department (ED-LOS) for patient outcome have been sparsely studied in the Swedish setting. Our aim was to further explore the association between ED-LOS and short-term mortality in patients admitted to the EDs of two large University hospitals in Sweden. All adult patients (> 18 years) visiting the ED at the Karolinska University
Background In the early 1980s, a preservative containing a mixture of methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI) and methylisothiazolinone (MI) in a ratio of 3:1 was introduced. This mixture (mix) has been patch tested at 100 ppm (0.01%) worldwide and at 200 ppm (0.02%) in Sweden since 1986 and also in the European baseline series since 2014. Objective A new aqueous mix of MCI 0.015% and MI 0.2% was compar
This paper proposes Yggdrasil, a protocol for privacy-aware dual data deduplication in multi-client settings. Yggdrasil is designed to reduce cloud storage space while safeguarding the privacy of clients’ data. This is achieved by exploiting a ‘dual’ setting, where both the cloud and the clients store a fraction of the data. Yggdrasil combines two innovative techniques to achieve this goal. First,
Today, the US pursues the global capture of data (understood as a significant engine of growth) by way of bi- and plurilateral trade agreements. However, the project of securing the global free flow of data has been pursued ever since the dawn of digital telecommunication in the 1960s and the US has made significant legal efforts to institutionalise it. These efforts have two phases: In the first
Introduction. Perioperative chemotherapy is the standard treatment for patients with locally advanced resectable gastric cancer. The prognostic relevance of MSI status in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains unclear. Aim. To study the prognostic significance of MSI in gastric cancer patients undergoing perioperative CT. Materials and methods. The study included 173 patients with lo
Theatres of Powerlessness departs from Edit Kaldor’s Inventory of Powerlessness (2013-16), a multi-year theatre project in which hundreds of participants articulated their emergent knowledge about contemporary forms of powerlessness. It is aimed, among others, at student readers in an increasingly diversified educational context, who are learning to develop models of transformative, creative pract
Viable Escherichia coli were detected in sediments near a point of wastewater discharge in a marine coastal environment in Sweden. Since high concentrations were found in the sediments nearest the pipe, this suggested that treated wastewater effluent was the source of the microbes. In order to examine this hypothesis, different bioinformatics approaches were applied using 16S rRNA gene V3-V4 ampli
Systematic evaluations are vital to support learning and enhance performance in a crisis response. There are quantitative methods available today for evaluating crisis response management (CRM), but there are limiting factors negatively affecting their potential; They often involve techniques difficult to implement in real events, lack reliability testing, provide outcomes questionable from a lear
This paper discusses a grounded theory study of women's experience of ICTs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). We were particularly interested in whether their gender, and the society in which they live, affected that experience. We identify three themes, ICT Use, Gender Perspective and UAE Society which together constitute an emergent theory of Women's ICT experience in the UAE. We conclude by eng
How firms cope with tail risk is an under-researched problem in the literature on corporate risk management. This paper presents stylized facts on the nature of revenue shocks based on 65 years worth of Compustat data. We define a Black Swan as an unexpected year-on-year drop in revenue between 30%–90%. The rate of Black Swans has increased markedly since the 1970's and there are more pronounced c
The configuration-dependent shell-correction approach with the cranked Nilsson potential is employed for a systematic investigation of the high-spin spectra of the nuclei in the A ∼ 135 (Z = 57-61, N = 72-78) mass region, where superdeformed bands have been observed. Main attention is paid to the coexistence of intruder νi13/2, superdeformed and terminating bands in the yrast region. Recent develo
I argue that the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty can help resolve a long-lasting problem, with continued relevance for philosophy, semiotics and linguistics: the dialectical relationship between pre-verbal consciousness and language. I proceed by reconstructing the development of his thought on the topic from the Phenomenology of Perception to his final writings. From an initial standpoint where langu
