The aim of the present European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations on the acute management of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). These guidelines were prepared following the Standard Operational Procedure of the ESO and according to the GRADE methodology. Although BAO accounts for only 1%–2% of all strokes, it has very poor natural outcome.
Background and purpose: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major source of health loss and disability worldwide. Accurate and timely diagnosis of TBI is critical for appropriate treatment and management of the condition. Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and characterization of TBI. Computed tomography (CT) is the first-line diagnostic imaging modality typically utilized in patient
This chapter is concerned with Turkish heritage speakers (HSs) in Germany, here exemplified by 21 early bilinguals during adulthood who live in Hamburg, North Germany. We introduce the population, report their self-perceived proficiency and propose the Turkish Use Score (TUS) that is based on quantitative aspects of language use (e.g., the number of people Turkish is spoken with) and qualitative o
This study explores how traffic safety implementation at local level in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is characterised. By investigating interactions between traffic safety and other sustainability goals (synergies), as well as identifying contradictions between goals and conflicting interests (challenges), the study aims to pinpoint the main enablers for implementing traff
Background: The TrialNet Oral Insulin (OI) prevention trial showed no overall treatment effect, using the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes as an endpoint. A significant delay in onset was only found in a high-risk stratum (termed secondary stratum 1) of participants with low first-phase insulin release (FPIR).Methods: Since trials with an endpoint of type 1 diabetes take years to complete, in this pos
Enligt nationella föreskrifter ska vindkraftverk över 150 m i totalhöjd markeras med högintensivt vitt blinkande ljus för att säkerställa att vindkraftverken är synliga för luftfarten. Samtidigt som hinderbelysningen är viktig för flygsäkerheten kan dock ljuset upplevas som störande av närboende. Syfte med denna studie är därför att utreda konflikten mellan vindkraftsetableringar och närboendes häAccording to national regulations, wind turbines over 150 m in total height must be marked with high-intensity white flashing light to ensure that the wind turbine is visible to aviation. However, while the obstacle lighting is important for aviation safety it can also be perceived as disturbing to nearby residents. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the conflict between wind po
I svensk rätt finns ingen arvsrätt för sambor. Om samborna har bröstarvingar saknar de möjlighet att testamentera hela kvarlåtenskapen till varandra på grund av bröstarvingarnas rätt att få ut sin laglott. Uppsatsens syfte är att diskutera efterlevandeskyddet för sambor och om det är ändamålsenligt givet en modern syn på samboskap. Genom att studera gällande rätt och förarbeten identifieras vilkIn Swedish law, there is no right of inheritance for unmarried cohabitants. If the cohabitants have direct heirs, the cohabitants lack the opportunity to leave their entire estate to each other due to the heirs’ right to receive their statutory share of inheritance. The aim of this essay is to discuss the survivors’ protection for cohabitants and whether it is appropriate given a modern interpret
The aim of this essay was to examine, from the relative's angle, which actions and behaviour that had an effect on how the relatives valued the encounters with the personnel at so called group housing for persons with cognitive disabilities. The constructional frame of the investi-gation originated from two presumptions. Firstly that the encounter between people is af-fected both by the person
To assess the value of ECG-gating for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) and an artificial neural network. A total of 422 patients referred for MPS were studied using a one day Tc-99m-tetrofosmin protocol. Adenosine stress combined with submaximal dynamic exercise was used. The images were interpreted by one of three experienced clinicians and thes
The purpose of this study was to investigate a Swedish assessment centre and more specifically the predictive validity of its assessments of ten managers from a Swedish technological company. The study was made by interviews with these managers' executives in order to find out how well their opinion about their employees matched the assessments made by the assessment centre consultants. The re
The purpose with this paper is partly to find out what people of different ages do to learn more about the past, and partly what they believe will happen within the next 50 years with institutions like traditional museums and the relatively new theme parks. How will the museums and theme parks evolve? Will they evolve? Or will they disappear? To solve these questions I have sent out a questionnai
År 2019 introducerade EU det så kallade visselblåsardirektivet. Direktivet tillkom för att komma till rätta med oegentligheter på den inre marknaden och stärka skyddsnivån för visselblåsare. Till följd av direktivets nya krav och bestämmelser behövde samtliga medlemsstater i EU ändra sin nationella lagstiftning på området. Enligt direktivet ska varje rättslig enhet med 50 eller fler arbetstagare hIn 2019, the EU introduced the so-called Whistleblower Directive. The directive was established to address misconduct in the internal market and strengthen the level of protection for whistleblowers. As a result of the directive's new regulations, all EU member states needed to amend their national legislation in this area. According to the directive, every legal entity with 50 or more employe
I december 2023 kom HD:s avgörande i PFAS-målet, där frågan om förhöjd risk för framtida skada kan utgöra personskada ställdes på sin spets. HD uttalade att det strider mot det traditionella synsättet att klassa en ren förhöjd risk som en personskada. Höga halter av PFAS i blodet bedömdes däremot utgöra personskada eftersom de höga halterna innebär en beaktansvärd kroppslig försämring. UppställandIn December 2023, the Swedish Supreme Court ruled in the so called PFAS case, in which the question of whether an increased risk of future harm can constitute personal injury was put to the test. The court stated that it contradicts the traditional view to classify a mere increased risk as a personal injury. However, high levels of PFAS in the blood were deemed to constitute personal injury becaus
Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM) have emerged with the intention of supporting decarbonisation and carbon dioxide removal solutions around the world. However, and despite a rapid growth, the motivations and preferences of the demand side to engage in with the VCM have not been thoroughly studied before. Iceland, the focus of this thesis, exemplifies this trend. To address this knowledge gap, this th
This essay investigates the UN's legitimization of the MINUSTAH mission in Haiti and examines how colonial power hierarchies have been reproduced through the mission. By applying a critical discourse analysis (CDA) and Carol Bacchi's WPR-approach, the study analyzes resolutions 1542, 1576, and 1892 to identify the use of language that frames Haiti as an unstable and weak state, depicted as
Microgrids and distributed renewable energy have the potential to facilitate management and adaptation for climate change. While research on microgrids has been developing for the past decades, further studies are necessary to expand on business models and scenarios which lead to their successful commercialization and implementation. This study applied the business model canvas as an analytical fr
This thesis is a narrative analysis of four opinion-based texts associated to the symbolic meaning of the Øresund Bridge between Sweden and Denmark. All four texts were written in Swedish newspapers in connection to the twentieth anniversary of the inauguration of the bridge. The primary purpose of the study is identifying which symbolic narratives are formulated in the four texts and in the analy
The preparation of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts with high activity, stability and low platinum loading has always been the focus of research. The single-atom platinum supported catalyst greatly improves the utilization of platinum, but the catalytic activity and selectivity are greatly affected by the platinum coordination environment, and the pre
This article shows that women’s formal political citizenship is intertwined with the right to the city. Using Carol Bacchi’s ‘What’s the Problem Represented to be’ approach, we study how female municipal councillors argued for more public toilets in Sweden's three largest cities. In their motions, the lack of public conveniences was mainly related to a binary discourse of gender, and arguments ref
