Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and there are currently limited treatment options for these patients. The disease is characterized by a reduction in airflow due to chronic bronchitis, as well as airspace enlargement in the distal lung, resulting in a loss of surface area available for gas exchange. At end-stage disease, oxygen therapy an
We have made a thesis about Collaboration for Innovation in the Öresund region from a Swedish perspective. The thesis is taking both regional and corporate aspects into consideration when studying this subject. The empiric material is based upon several interviews with persons having knowledge about our subject as well as a web survey including 49 companies situated in the Öresund region. We have
This is a case study that aims to explain the adoption of the Victims’ Law by investigating the transnational advocacy networks’ work for the rights of the victims of the armed conflict in Colombia. Theories of transnational advocacy networks and opportunity structures are applied in order to understand the long term advocacy work for the victims’ rights, but also to explain their influence on the

This paper presents an unbalanced overview of existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) research by reassessing the body of knowledge and emphasising future research directions that need to be pursued in an attempt to fill knowledge gaps and bridge the existing gap between practitioners and academia. To fulfil this objective, nine leading international IS publications covering the period of 2006
The ATLAS detector is installed in its experimental cavern at Point 1 of the CERN Large Hadron Collider. During Run 2 of the LHC, a luminosity of ℒ = 2 × 1034 cm-2 s-1 was routinely achieved at the start of fills, twice the design luminosity. For Run 3, accelerator improvements, notably luminosity levelling, allow sustained running at an instantaneous luminosity of ℒ = 2 × 1034 cm-2 s-1, with an a
This publication describes a concept that intends to enable an optimization of machining with regard to the balance between criteria related to technology, economy and sustainability. The work is of a discussion nature and intends to provide a framework for further research and development in the area. Previous research and development during the 80's and 90's is presented in general terms and in
In the context of a decarbonized future where stringent carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions constraints are imposed on vehicles, hydrogen emerges as a promising solution to address emissions directly at the point of use. This chapter explores the potential of using hydrogen to power vehicles, particularly in the context of heavy-duty (HD) internal combustion engine (ICE) applications. Hydrogen vehicles
Background: Surgery is the curative therapy for patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). In determining the extent of surgery, the risk of complications should be considered. The aim of this study was to assess procedure-specific outcomes and risk factors for complications after surgery for MTC. Methods: Patients who underwent thyroid surgery for MTC were identified in two European prospec
OBJECTIVES: Evidence on waning patterns in protection from vaccine-induced, infection-induced, and hybrid immunity against death is scarce. The aim of this study is to assess the temporal trends in protection against mortality.METHODS: Population-based case-control study nested in the total population of Scania Region, Sweden using individual-level registry data of COVID-19-related deaths (<30 day
DEBATE. We researchers have long demanded that the government take climate research seriously and speed up the transition to a sustainable society.Instead, the government is pursuing a policy that deliberately increases emissions. Now more citizens need to raise their voices and show that we demand a knowledge-based climate transition, and it is urgent.
Aim: The overall aim of was to investigate the impact of self-reportedallergic disease on physical activity (PA) and health-related quality oflife (HRQoL) among adolescents.Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 1 181 adolescents aged 13-14years (251 with current allergic disease), participating in the baselineinvestigation of the Southern Sweden allergy cohort, including a surveywith questions on

According to the 2009 report by National Board of Health and Welfare’s, 20 % of employees who works with treatment at homes for treatment or living lacked appropriate education to undertake their job role. In the light of this we decided to examine the recruitment criterias used at homes for treatment or living and also which role the social worker has at these institutions. We have taken a qualit
After the breakup of the Soviet Union Estonian economy found itself cut off from its main markets and production links. One major barrier in the economic transformation and diversification process that followed was the lack of necessary tacit productive knowledge in the country. Furthermore, local firms had no or only weak links to the global production and knowledge networks that function as impo
Title: System Dynamics Perspective on the Business Model for Sustainability: A Multiple Case Study in the Architecture Industry Purpose: The primary purpose of the study is to explain how the system dynamics between the Value Configuration, Partner Network, and Capabilities work in a Business Model for Sustainability of small and large architecture firms. Methodology: We followed an abductive, q
The chirality-flow formalism provides a simple but efficient way to rewrite and evaluate Feynman diagrams and has recently been shown to also optimize automated numerical scattering matrix element evaluations in massless tree-level QED. In this thesis we extend the numerical QED model to massless tree-level QCD in the MadGraph5_aMC@NLO framework. It is shown that a good gauge choice for external g
