BackgroundCognitive function is often impaired for cardiac arrest (CA) survivors as an effect of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. An important factor in CA recovery is global functional outcome, commonly assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Little is known about the role of cognition as a potential predictor of outcome following CA.ObjectiveTo investigate cognitive function at hospital disBackgroundCognitive function is often impaired for cardiac arrest (CA) survivors as an effect of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

Fueled by rapid advancements and widespread adoption, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how Design Thinking (DT) is applied in entrepreneurship. While DT is a well-established human-centered innovation framework, the integration of AI in its practical application, along with the emerging challenges and adaptive strategies, remains underexplored. To address this gap, a qualitative resear

Utopia. The Right to Hope27.09.2025 – 11.01.2026“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one,” wrote John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the opening lines of “Imagine,” one of the world’s most famous songs. Though the song is more than half a century old, its vision of various utopian ideals remains relevant today: a world without war, hunger, greed, and hatred—a peaceful, sustainable, and livable

Personality traits (e.g., the Big Five) shape human behavior, decision-making, and life outcomes. Evidence from various countries suggests that these traits are not randomly distributed but follow systematic regional patterns, fueling interest in their geographical variation. We analyze N = 22,225 geo-coded personality assessments, aggregated at regional levels. Using Hot Spot analysis (Getis-Ord

Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen beslutade i mars 2025 att begära ett för-handsavgörande i ett mål gällande återbetalning med kupongskatt. Det ut-ländska företaget i målet menade att de inte var skyldiga att räkna ut sitt resultat enligt svenska regler, medan Skatteverket menade att det annars inte var möjligt att avgöra om det utländska företaget hade rätt till återbe-talning. Syftet med uppsatsen ärIn March of 2025, the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court decided to request a preliminary ruling in a case regarding repayment of Swedish withholding tax on dividends. The non-resident company claimed that they were not obligated to calculate their results according to Swedish rules, whereas the Swedish tax authority claimed that not doing so would make it impossible to determine whether the non

Models where dark matter is a part of an electroweak multiplet feature charged particles with macroscopic lifetimes due to the charged-neutral mass split of the order of pion mass. At the Large Hadron Collider, the ATLAS and CMS experiments will identify these charged particles as disappearing tracks, since they decay into a massive invisible dark matter candidate and a very soft charged Standard-

OBJECTIVE: To analyse survival rates and causes of death in adults with spina bifida in Sweden compared with a matched control group.DESIGN AND METHODS: This population-based study included 11,900 adults born between 1950 and 1997. Three national Swedish registers were used to identify individuals with a diagnosis of spina bifida and a matched control group without spina bifida in the period 1990-

Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated climate data represents long-term average thermal conditions at coarse spatial resolutions only. Hence, many climate-forcing factors that operate at fine spatiotemporal resolutions are overlooked. This is particu

Background: Proficient Human Papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping services are essential to support HPV and cervical cancer elimination strategies, in particular to support HPV vaccine research. Objectives: To perform a global HPV genotyping proficiency study, with evaluation in relation to previous proficiency studies. Study design: The proficiency panel contained 44 coded samples (40 samples containi

PurposeTo develop an application for the Pentacam HR for the purpose of optimising the accuracy of the diagnosis of progressive keratoconus.MethodsMeasurements were performed on one randomised eye in twenty-five subjects with keratoconus Stage 1-2 according to the Amsler-Krumeich classification on two occasions, three days apart. Four replicate measurements were made by a single examiner on each o

This work is meant to provide theoretical and empirical elements in order to understand the current situation of Norway which given the chance to be part of the European Union (EU) has rejected it twice. However it does not mean that this European country is totally isolated from the integration process. Since 1960 they are part of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) organisation founded by

Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har länge särbehandlats i den svenska rättsordningen. I nästan alla rättssystem ingår ett krav på tillräknelighet som brottsförutsättning. Detta krav togs bort i den svenska straffrätten i samband med brottsbalkens ikraftträdande 1965. Att vara tillräknelig innebär att man har en viss förmåga att förstå vad man gör, och att man kan kontrollera sitt handlande. Endast Mentally disturbed offenders have for a long time been treated differently in the Swedish criminal law. In nearly all legal systems there is a requirement of accountability for criminal liability. In order to be accountable you have to possess the ability to understand your actions and to be able to control them. Only then you can be punished for a criminal act. The requirement was removed from th

How to make robots safe for humans is intensely debated, within academia as well as in industry, media and on the political arena. Hardly any discussion of the subject fails to mention Isaac Asimov’s three laws of Robotics. We find it curious that a set of fictional laws can have such a strong impact on discussions about a real-world problem and we think this needs to be looked into.The probably mHow to make robots safe for humans is intensely debated, within academia as well as in industry, media and on the political arena. Hardly any discussion of the subject fails to mention Isaac Asimov’s three laws of Robotics. Asimov’s laws and the Trolley Problem are usually discussed separately but there is a connection in that the Trolley Problem poses a seemingly unsolvable problem for Asimov’s F

This bachelor has examined how the birkin bag is represented in the television series Sex and the city and Gilmore girls, the reality show The real housewives of Beverly Hills and in a Youtube video from Kylie Jenner. Therefore this essay's purpose is to identify how the birkin bag is represented and which social interactions are therefore being made through all four videos. This essay also ai

Purpose: Systemic amyloidosis represents a yet poorly characterized complex and multifaceted rare multisystem disease with high mortality. Clinical presentation, clinical course, and treatment vary within and across subtypes. Established biomarkers are predominantly non-specific. Diagnosis and management of these patients require specifically tailored interdisciplinary structures. Well-characteriz

In a future fossil-free circular economy, the petroleum-based plastics industry must be converted to non-fossil feedstock. A known alternative is bio-based plastics, but a relatively unexplored option is deriving the key plastic building blocks, hydrogen and carbon, from electricity through electrolytic processes combined with carbon capture and utilization technology. In this paper the future dem

Förskolorna måste göra mer på hälsoskyddsområdet än att lära barn tvätta händerna Samtliga förskolor i Lomma Kommun har under 2012 och 2013 inspekterats av miljökontoret för att följa upp Socialstyrelsens projekt om hygien och smittskydd i förskolan från 2009. Resultatet visar att de 24 förskolorna i Lomma Kommun har bra rutiner för hygien, smittskydd och städning. Andra områden som krävs enligStudies have showed that children that are spending their daytime at preschools suffer from more infections than children who stay at home. The indoor environment has a big impact on our health and therefore it must be good and suitable for the children in preschools. According to the Swedish environmental laws preschools must set- up preventive work to avoid environmental and health problems an
