BackgroundIn emergency department (ED) chest pain patients, the European Society of Cardiology recommends the use of a 0h/1h high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin (hs-cTn) protocol. However, the recommendation is based on observational studies and the effects of the protocol when implemented in routine care is unknown. The aim of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the ESC 0h/1h
Some seabirds we encounter only fleetingly, as they fly by as we walk along the beach, or perhaps meet far out at sea when we take a boat trip. Others though we are more familiar with, such as the ‘seagulls’ that many will not even turn their head to appreciate. Yet, all seabirds have remarkable stories to tell, and we are fortunate now to live at a time where we can follow individual birds as theMost seabirds breed colonially, at which time they make central-place foraging trips. Parents must collect food both for themselves and for egg production/chick-rearing. How should they forage? I followed five species across two sites in Sweden in the Baltic Sea using GPS and time-depth recorder (TDR) devices, giving information on both flight and diving activity. I use a movement ecology approach
BACKGROUND: Mortality caused by acute pancreatitis in patients admitted to the hospital has been thoroughly investigated, but knowledge regarding outpatient fatalities is far from complete. The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and clinical characteristics of patients who have died due to acute pancreatitis occurring outside the hospital. METHODS: Deaths caused by acute pancreatiti
To understand the origin of disease risk in adulthood, factors in all stages of life and on different contextual levels should be considered. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relevance of a person's area of residence over their life course with regard to four outcomes: all-cause mortality; ischemic heart disease mortality and morbidity; cancer mortality and morbidity; and re
A receiver receives information from a physical broadcast channel signal, wherein the receiver includes a blind processing and decoding unit that utilizes a hypothesis about how many transmit antennas were used to transmit the signal. Received signal characteristics are detected that indicate how many transmit antennas were used.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Övergripande syfte Syftet med avhandlingen var att utvärdera hur en förenklad metod för diagnostisering av blodproppar i benets djupa ådror (djup ventrombos (DVT)) fungerar i svensk rutinsjukvård. Den förenklade metoden innebär användning av en strukturerad klinisk sannolikhetsbedömning tillsammans med ett blodprov (D-dimer test). Vi jämförde också vår D-dimermetod med The combination of pre-test clinical probability assessment and D-dimer test is now widely applied in the diagnostic process of DVT. The general objective of the present investigation was to validate these results in a Swedish routine emergency setting were the prevalence of the disease is high and were the clinical probability assessment was handled by many junior physicians. Furthermore, our aim
This paper investigates whether the German Stock is efficient or not, i.e. whether there is a way to systematically beat the market. Within this framework momentum strategies with formation and holding periods over 3- to 12-month horizons are applied on the CDAX. The results do not show clear signs of market inefficiencies. While momentum strategies were successful in 67% of the cases, the winner
Abstract of chapter 1 For n >= 2 the number of mixing n-step subshifts of finite type (sft) over the alphabet {0, 1} is proven to be at least 15/16 times the number of transitive n-step sfts. A conjecture assumes the latter to be at least 2^(3*2^(n-1)-n). Abstract of chapter 2 The alternating colouring function is defined. Strings over the alphabet {0, 1} are divided in colourable and non-coloura
I Sverige är var och en gentemot det allmänna tillförsäkrad yttrandefrihet genom grundlagsskyddet i RF. Yttrandefriheten får inte inskränkas annat än vad som är föreskrivet i lag. Ett sådant inskränkande får endast göras för att tillgodose ändamål som är godtagbara i ett demokratiskt samhälle och får inte gå utöver vad som är nödvändigt med hänsyn till det ändamål som har föranlett det. Även en Everyone in Sweden have a constitutional right to freedom of expression without interference by public authority through the laws established in RF. The right to freedom of expression may not be restricted in any way other than what is prescribed through law. Any such restriction must be made with the purpose to serve a cause that is acceptable in a democratic society and may not exceed what is ne

Today it is no news that there exists social exclusion and vulnerable groups of people in our cities and all around our country. This is often connected to preconceptions about certain areas. I can see in the face of us people hope of future, dreams and goals. But when and how are we given the opportunity to, irrespective of our knowledge or background, together affect and influence our surroundin
Avtalet utgör den rättsliga form som avser att reglera rättsförhållanden och är kanske den mest grundläggande och bärande företeelsen inom ramen för relationer mellan rättssubjekt. Ett avtal är en rättshandling som uttrycker en viljeförklaring. Äganderätten har beskrivits som den starkaste av sakrätterna och då det i folkmun talas om äganderätt är det troligtvis den västerländska privatkapitalistiThe contract constitutes the legal form that aims to regulate legal relationships and is probably the most fundamental phenomenon within the framework of relations between legal subjects. The definition of a contract is a legal act that expresses a declaration of will. The right of ownership has been described as the strongest of the property rights. When people talk about property rights, it is p
Utvecklingen av autonoma fartyg (‘MASS’) innebär betydande utmaningar för det befintliga systemet för sjörättsligt ansvar. Culpabaserat ansvar och begreppet vårdslöshet är traditionellt uppbyggda kring bedömningen av mänskligt handlande, beslutsfattande och kontroll. Detta väcker frågor om huruvida vårdslöshet och culpa fortfarande är begreppsmässigt sammanhängande när operativa beslut fattas av aThe development of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (‘MASS’) presents significant challenges to the existing framework of maritime liability law. Fault-based liability and the concept of negligence are traditionally structured around the assessment of human conduct, decision-making and control. This raises the question of whether negligence and fault remain conceptually coherent where operational
Background: – Adverse muscle composition (AMC), defined by low muscle volume and increased muscle fat infiltration, has been associated with comorbidity and poor function in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and increased mortality in metabolic disorders and the general population. We investigated whether MRI-derived muscle composition is associated with all-cause mortality in a UK Biobank (UKB) imagi
Vulnerability to climate change and the capacity to adapt to it are the result of intersecting power structures, system dynamics, and social identity markers otherwise known as intersectionality; and thus, differ greatly between contexts. However, despite the stark contextual differences between small and metropolitan cities, and lower and higher income countries, the policy and study of climate c
I takt med att den förväntade livslängden ökar ställs nya krav på arbetsmarknaden. För få personer ska försörja vår äldre befolkning och för att lösa detta måste vi arbeta till en högre ålder. Chefer har en avgörande roll och därför har denna studie syftat till att undersöka chefers attityder mot sina äldre arbetstagare, samt hur de ser på möjligheter till ett förlängt arbetsliv. Syftet var även aAs life expectancy increases, new demands are placed on the labor market. There are too few people to support our aging population, and to address this issue, we need to work until an older age. Managers play a crucial role, which is why this study aimed to examine managers' attitudes toward their older employees and their views on opportunities for extended working lives. The aim was also to
I svenska skolundersökningar framkommer det att många unga utsätts för brott och där skolan är den vanligaste brottsplatsen. I Sverige har skolpersonal ingen skyldighet att polisanmäla elever som de misstänker har begått ett brott förutom när de beslagtar illegala preparat eller vapen. Regeringen har våren 2023 tillsatt en utredning som ska undersöka möjligheterna att införa en anmälningsskyldighe
