Background: Maternal alloantibodies to human platelet antigen-1a can cause severe intracranial hemorrhage in a fetus or newborn. Although never evaluated in placebo-controlled clinical trials, most Western countries use off-label weekly administration of high-dosage intravenous immunoglobulin in all pregnant women with an obstetrical history of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. In No
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
Patterns of future climate and expected extreme conditions are pushing design limits as recognition of climate change and its implication for the built environment increases. There are a number of ways of estimating future climate projections and creating weather files. Obtaining adequate representation of long-term patterns of climate change and extreme conditions is, however, challenging. This w
The thesis describes aspects of left ventricular systolic and diastolic function examined with echocardiography in patients with systemic inflammation and shock. Background: Myocardial depression is a well-known complication in critically ill patients with shock. Echocardiography is increasingly used for assessing left ventricular (LV) function in these patients. Aims: 1) To describe the feasibili
BackgroundA novel non-invasive method for generation of pressure volume loops (PV-loops) using brachial blood pressure and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has recently been presented and validated (1). The non-invasive nature of this method enables calculation of PV-loops in large patient cohorts previously not feasible due to the need of invasive measurements.PurposeThe purpose of
I detta examensarbete görs en utvärdering av ankomstprognoser för tåg för att se hur de olika prediktionskällorna står sig mot varandra och hur pass väl dessa efterspeglar verkligheten. Vidare är detta examensarbete en sprint av ett forskningsprojekt som genomförs och bedrivs på Lunds Tekniska Högskola på uppdrag av Trafikverket. Till skillnad från forskningsprojektet bygger detta examensarbetIn this master thesis, an evaluation of arrival forecasts for trains is made to see how various prediction sources compare to each other and how well these reflect reality. Furthermore, this thesis is a sprint of a research project that is carried out and conducted at Lund University of Technology on behalf of the Swedish Transport Administration. Unlike the research project, this thesis is based
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det enteriska nervsystemet (ENS) utgör mag-tarmkanalens eget nervsystem, ibland refererat till som “the second brain” då det uppvisar stora likheter med det centrala nervsystemet (CNS). Rubbningar i ENS ger bland annat störningar i tarmens motorik. Denna avhandling handlar om två sjukdomar i mag-tarmkanalen hos barn som bägge är uttryck för en rubbad motorik; HirschspruGastrointestinal motility disorders are common in childhood and in this thesis we look at two of them, i.e. Hirschsprung´s Disease (HD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in five different studies. HD is a congenital disease characterized by an abscence of ganglion cells in myenteric and submucous ganglia, most commonly in the distal part of the large bowel. In Paper I, we have studied t
Objective: To estimate intra- and interrater agreement and reliability with regard to describing ultrasound images of the endometrium using the International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) terminology. Methods: Four expert and four non-expert raters assessed videoclips of transvaginal ultrasound examinations of the endometrium obtained from 99 women with postmenopausal bleeding and sonographic
Warming due to global climate change has led to various natural anomalies, such as increases in forest fires, water level rise and droughts. A region being affected heavily by climate change is the Colorado River Basin, having an arid, semi-arid climate with the Colorado Mountain snowmelt supplying Colorado river, which flows throughout the basin, accumulating water in Lake Mead Reservoir. The Bas

Aim: The Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) is a flagship species for global freshwater ecosystems. As one of the most widely distributed Palearctic mammals, the otter used to inhabit most provinces in China. However, after decades of relentless hunting and habitat degradation, the Sanjiangyuan Region is now one of last strongholds for this species in China. Currently, there still remains an enormous kn
This thesis investigates the role of advanced atmospheric inversion techniques and ∆¹⁴CO₂ observations in improving the accuracy of regional CO₂ flux estimates across Europe. Accurate quantification of fossil fuel emissions and biospheric fluxes is essential for understanding regional carbon budgets and supporting climate policy. However, significant uncertainties persist due to limited observatio
Sweden has experienced pronounced long-run fluctuations in fertility since the mid-twentieth century, alongside persistent within-year seasonality in births. While many fertility movements can be interpreted ex post in relation to economic conditions, cohort size, and institutional reforms, a central practical challenge is ex ante: when does an emerging decline become statistically detectable as t
