In septic shock, administration of large fluid volumes is associated with poor outcomes. Recent evidence shows that non-resuscitation fluids are the major modifiable source of fluids for patients with septic shock in intensive care units (ICUs). This clinical trial is designed to test the hypothesis that restrictive administration of non-resuscitation fluids improves outcomes compared to usual car

Foodallergy is on the rise in Sweden and the rest of the world and is a global health issue. Milk protein is the allergen that causes the most allergic reactions in Sweden and those who are highly allergic to milk risk going into an anaphylactic shock which in worst case can be fatal. Eating at a restaurant can be a challenge for a person with food allergy since this is where the majority of aller

En huvudprincip i den svenska rättsordningen är att den förlorande parten i ett tvistemål ska ersätta den vinnande parten för dennes rättegångskostnader. Ersättningen till den vinnande parten ska i enlighet med 18 kap. 8 § rättegångsbalken (1942:740), fullt motsvara kostnaderna för processföringen, såvitt kostnaderna skäligen varit påkallade för tillvaratagande av partens rätt. Inom ramen för part

Syftet med denna har uppsats har varit att undersöka hur svensk rätt hanterar skador på naturvärden inom ramen för 32 kap. MB för att undersöka om det överhuvudtaget är möjligt att få skadestånd för en ekologisk skada enligt 32 kap. men även hur en sådan skada skulle kunna komma att värderas. Uppsatsen har genom rättsdogmatisk metod analyserat både rättsfall, förarbeten och doktrin för att se hur

Neutralitetsprincipen har sedan länge varit en starkt etablerad och mycket vik-tig princip på idrottens område. Att stå fri från politiskt inflytande och att stå neutrala i politiska frågor grundar sig i viljan att vara en inkluderande och accepterande arena där alla idrottare kan tävla på lika villkor, oavsett politiska eller religiösa bakgrunder. Idrottsrörelsen vill vara en värld dit polariseraThe principle of neutrality is a well-established and important principle within the sports world. The freedom from political influences and the ability to remain neutral in political matter is founded on the wish to be an inclusive and accepting arena, where athletes compete on the same terms, regardless of political or religious background. The sport world’s main objective is to be an impartial

Current advances in Deep Learning have shown significant improvements in common Machine Learning applications such as image, speech and text recognition. Specifically, in order to process time series, deep Neural Networks (NNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units are widely used in sequence recognition problems to store recent information and to use it for future predictions. The efficiency i

In recent years, the focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors has grown substantially from investors and the society overall. This successive switch to more sustainable practices has created a new interesting conversation regarding the impact of ESG on companies’ financial performances. This study will deep dive into this new problem statement, investigating the role of ESG both

This research aims to investigate the differences in decision-making between the County Administrative Board of Skåne and the County Administrative Board of Halland regarding the establishment of solar parks on arable agricultural land. The study also includes an analysis of how legal precedents may have influenced the decision-making process by examining cases decided before and after the rulings

This thesis focuses on the issue of abortion rights in the Philippines, a country which maintains one of the strictest abortion laws globally, prohibiting abortion under all circumstances without exceptions. Despite severe penalties, unsafe abortions remain widespread, resulting in approximately 1.1 million induced abortions and around 1,000 maternal deaths annually. The interaction between the Ph

Uppsatsen behandlar hur miljörelaterade fordringar hanteras när en verksamhet går i konkurs och i vilken utsträckning principen om att förorenaren ska betala får genomslag i svensk konkursrätt. Utgångspunkten är de praktiska problem som uppstår när kostsamma efterbehandlingsåtgärder aktualiseras först efter konkursutbrottet, samtidigt som det inte finns någon generell skyldighet för staten eller kThis thesis examines how environmental claims are treated when a business is declared bankrupt, and to what extent the polluter pays principle is upheld in Swedish bankruptcy law. The point of departure is the practical difficulties that occur when costly remediation measures become relevant only after the opening of bankruptcy proceedings, while there is no general legal obligation for the State

Syftet med uppsatsen är att bedöma användningen av EncroChat bevisning inför svensk rätt utifrån den naturrättsliga filosofen Andrew Dworkins teori om statlig integritet. Enligt Dworkin är det viktigt att stater konsekvent till-lämpar moraliska och rättsliga principer i deras rättssystem, då detta ger sta-ten en intern integritet som stärker tilliten mellan den enskilde och det all-männa. UppsatseThe purpose of the paper is to assess the use of EncroChat evidence before Swedish law based on the natural law philosopher Andrew Dworkin’s theo-ry of state integrity. According to Dworkin, it is important that states con-sistently apply moral and legal in their legal systems, as this gives the states an internal integrity that strengthens trust between the individual and the public. The paper ex

Uppsatsen undersöker huvudsakligen gällande rätt beträffande tillåtligheten av skriftliga vittnesattester i svenska kommersiella skiljeförfaranden. Undersökningen är inriktad på förutsättningarna för skiljenämnden att tillåta, påbjuda eller förbjuda användandet av skriftliga vittnesattester när en av parterna bestrider att de ska användas. Undersökningens syfte är således att genom den rättsdogmatThe paper mainly examines the legal situation regarding the admissibility of written witness statements in Swedish commercial arbitration. The study focuses on the prerequisites for the arbitral tribunal to permit, require or prohibit the use of written witness statements when one of the parties objects their use. The purpose of the paper is to thus to determine, de lege lata, the extent of the ar

With the sustainable potential of the city as a starting point, this thesis examines brownfield redevelopment in an existing urban context. The Nørrebro neighborhood of Copenhagen serves as a case. The focus is on learning from and reinterpreting existing urban structure, hierarchy, density and scale. Legislation allowing car free development at the chosen site, Vingelodden, also prompts explorati

Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia is an inland governorate in Tunisia that has undergone a rapid agricultural and urban development since the Tunisian independence in 1952 from being a rural and largely nomadic region into a hub of irrigated agriculture. In 2010 Mohamed Bouazizi sparked the Tunisian revolution by lighting himself on fire int he city of Sidi Bouzid, with some blaming the inequality and water sc

Despite the issue of greywater management gaining more importance around the world, espe-cially in developing countries, it still remains a challenge in non-sewered areas of South Afri-ca. For a semi-arid country, reusing greywater on a household level has great potential as an alternative water source if done properly. On a household level, the popular repurposing of greywater is for irrigation

Fragmentbaserad läkemedelsutveckling (FBDD) har på senare tid utvecklats som en lovande alternativ metod för att identifiera svåråtkomliga bindningsställen, såsom små fickor eller allosteriska säten. Weak affinity chromatography (WAC™) är en FBDD-metod där dissociationskonstanten kan beräknas genom att jämföra retentionstiden på en proteinkolonn med en referenskolonn. Målet med projektet är att möFragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) has in recent years emerged as an interesting method to target challenging binding sites, such as allosteric sites or small pockets. Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC™) is a FBDD technology where dissociation constants of injected compounds are determined by comparing retention times between a protein column to a reference column. The goal of this project was t

As the population ages, the risk of loneliness increases,especially when reduced mobility or illness leads to isolation from community and social life. At the same time 7 percent of Danes live with major disabilities, yet the built environment often overlooks their needs. Age and disability alike reveal how architecture continues to fall short of true inclusion. This thesis is an experiment in r
