Background: The human cerebellum has a large, highly folded cortical sheet. Its visualization is important for various disorders, including multiple sclerosis and spinocerebellar ataxias. The derivation of the cerebellar cortical surface in vivo is impeded by its high foliation. Purpose: To image the cerebellar cortex, including its foliations and lamination, in less than 20 minutes, reconstruct t

Background/Aim: Signs of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) on head computed tomography (CT) predicts poor neurological outcome after cardiac arrest. We explore whether levels of brain injury markers in blood could predict the likelihood of HIE on CT. Methods: Retrospective analysis of CT performed at 24–168 h post cardiac arrest on clinical indication within the Target Temperature Management

Background. Kidney involvement is common in anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) and the prognosis is determined by the severity of kidney damage. This study focused on long-term kidney outcomes, defining possible risk factors and comparing the performance of three different histological classifications to predict outcomes for patients with AAV. Methods. The dataset inclu

Group exhibition. Participated with the work Light to the Nations .Will the sky fall on our heads one day? Meteorites have a magical attraction, but at the same time they fuel age-old fears. Whereas in the Middle Ages they were regarded as divine signs and ominous devil’s stones, today people fear a natural disaster: a meteorite impact that could wipe out our civilisation. Perhaps not such a far-f

Aging profoundly affects the immune system leading to an increased propensity for inflammation. Age-related dysregulation of immune cells is implicated in the development and progression of numerous age-related diseases such as: cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes. Monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages, being important players in the inflammatory resp

The aim of this paper is to outline a process-based approach to the historical trajectory of commercialising cities that can account for continuity and change in a city’s image. Previous research involving historical approaches to the commercialisation of places are typically underpinned by a view of history as linear and chronological. By contrast, the present study adopts a performative view of

Impact cratering is today recognized as a fundamental geological process on all rocky bodies in the solar system. On Earth, however, processes such as plate tectonics and erosion have eradicated most craters from the geological record, or they may be buried under sediments, oceans, and vegetation. The formation of a hypervelocity impact crater involves extreme pressures and temperatures that induc

Obesity levels in developing countries are increasing at an alarming rate, while “old” problems such as hunger and undernutrition still persist, creating a paradoxical situation of a double burden of malnutrition. Intertwined with new sustainability challenges such as climate change and land degradation, food, health and sustainability are interconnected in a complex web of relationships, spanning

Konkurrensklausuler i anställningsavtal avser att begränsa arbetstagares rätt att fritt konkurrera efter avslutad anställning. Uppsatsen ämnar att bedöma om 2015 års överenskommelse om konkurrensklausuler är att betrakta som god sed på arbetsmarknaden. Denna fråga måste först besvaras innan uppsatsens huvudfråga kan besvaras, nämligen om perdurerande viten är tillåtna i konkurrensklausuler och om The purpose of a competition clause in a employment contract is to restrain the employees possibilities to compete with the former employer after he or she quits the employment. This study aims to assess if the 2015 collective agreement on competition clauses in employment contracts is to be regarded as good practice in the Swedish labor market i.e become binding on all employers and employees whe

Varumärken gör det möjligt för näringsidkare att särskilja och främja sina varor och tjänster i förhållande till andra näringsidkare. Vidare identifierar varumärken varor och tjänsters ursprung, vilket gör det möjligt för konsumenter att härleda dessa, samt upprepa eller undvika köp. Detta ger i sin tur näringsidkare incitament att investera och behålla en viss kvalitetsnivå. Näringsidkare kan, blTrademarks enable companies to distinguish and promote their goods and services vis-à-vis others and identify the origin of goods and services. This enables consumers to trace them, as well as repeat or avoid purchases. Trademarks give companies the incentive to invest and maintain a certain level of quality. As an example, companies can use their trademarks to get new, and keep existing, customer

In this master´s thesis I seek to explore the concept of restorative justice, an ideological approach to justice which aims to repair the harm caused by crime through means of communication, cooperation, participation and restoration. By involving all parties affected by crime, restorative justice seeks to address crime through empowering victims, increasing community cohesion and making offenders

Improvements in Internet technology, development of multimedia applications, protocols and improvement in user devices have led to the popularity of multimedia applications, among which video streaming applications are most popular. Streaming video services are sensitive to network conditions, thus making Quality of Experience (QoE) of end users sensitive to network conditions. QoE is affected by

Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery has developed dynamic gas turbine models to compute performance parameters such as temperature, pressure, mass flow and power during transients. Results from the current dynamic model correspond to measured data except for gas channel temperatures that change too fast during transients. The measurement of gas channel temperature is also a source of error due to th

A large and rapidly growing population in Kenya together with increasing demands put heavy pressure on the country’s resources. Primary to produce enough food but also to meet other needs such as access to timber and firewood. A large part of the population relies on yields from their own farming for their survival. The farms are generally small and the needs many which makes it important to get o

För att en person ska kunna straffas för våldtäkt enligt svensk rätt krävs det att denne har haft uppsåt till gärningen. Det innebär att personen måste ha varit medveten om alla de omständigheter som medfört att gärningen är att betrakta som en våldtäkt, exempelvis att den utsatte sov eller tvingades till de sexuella handlingarna. Detta krav på uppsåt har i ett flertal fall, där den tilltalade fri

In today’s competitive vehicle industry, fuel efficiency and weight plays a crucial role in performance and to maintain an attractive market position. The increasing technological development is opening new possibilities to design components with lighter materials. All components on Scania buses are favorably designed with as low weight as possible since the measured load on the back axis determin

This bachelor project provides an analysis of the regional, organizational arena of Denmark and takes point of departure in the structural reform of 2007, which changed the Danish political landscape radically. The result of the reform was that the old municipalities and regions were enlarged and the power relation was changed. The new physical form made the municipalities far more influential, an

Promoting reading through book clubs in academic libraries is a relatively new phenomenon in Sweden, despite the Swedish Library Act mandating that all pub-licly funded libraries should "promote the position of literature" (SFS 2013:801). In the Swedish context, there is limited research on reading promotion in aca-demic libraries. Internationally, some studies exist, but few employ a ca

This study investigated the influence of various native and modified starches on the quality and staling behaviour of gluten-free bread. Four starch types: native wheat starch, cross-linked tapioca starch, fractionated native potato starch (FPS), and acetylated potato starch (Amylacetate) were evaluated by incorporating them into a standardized gluten-free bread formulation as the main starch sour

The aim of this study is to investigate different types of crisis management strategies in relation to cancel culture scandals involving influencers. It is conducted through two case studies of scandals regarding Logan Pauls, one that happened in 2017 and the other one 2023. To be able to draw scientific conclusions regarding what type of strategies Logan Paul used, the study adapts three theoreti
