Background: In the DETO2X-AMI trial (Determination of the Role of Oxygen in Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction), we compared supplemental oxygen with ambient air in normoxemic patients presenting with suspected myocardial infarction and found no significant survival benefit at 1 year. However, important secondary end points were not yet available. We now report the prespecified secondary end po

Increasing numbers of wildlife species in human populated landscapes create challenges to people’s daily life and livelihoods as well as to governance. One of these challenges is the current misfit between environmental and social systems. This misfit in spatial, temporal and functional scales constitutes a source of stress to individuals and institutions and calls for new solutions. Coping, adapt

AbstractThis essay focuses on teachers' perspective on student engagement and aims to highlight the connection between student engagement, teaching and content matter. It investigates how teachers interpret the concept of student engagement and what consequences their interpretation have for themselves, their teaching and their students. It also examines how teachers perceive the relationship betw

Importance: Evidence is lacking regarding the consequences of antibiotic use in early life and the risk of certain autoimmune diseases.Objective: To test the association between early-life antibiotic use and islet or celiac disease (CD) autoimmunity in genetically at-risk children prospectively followed up for type 1 diabetes (T1D) or CD.Design, Setting, and Participants: HLA-genotyped newborns fr

Abstract The thesis aims at providing a better understanding of public policy instruments used in policy-making within the energy sector, particularly regarding their role in the change towards an increased use of renewable energy sources for generation of electricity. The research was guided by an underlying assumption that a markedly higher proportion of the energy generated from renewable sour

Popular Abstract in English In this thesis I will compare and contrast two willow warbler subspecies, each with different migratory programs that meet in Central Sweden forming a migratory divide and hybrid zone. These migratory programs differ in the direction and distance traveled during migration. The "northern" willow warblers migrate south-southeast through the Balkan Peninsula to winter in e

This Ph.D. submission deals with contemporary demonstration culture and political activism, seen as performance through performance. It consists of both a practical and a theoretical part. These are intertwined on various levels of the project. My submission, however, is made up of the two following parts: 1: A textual part, divided into 8 parts. Each part contains a script, an analysis and a nu

Introduction: It has previously been found that strongly predicted words can be pre-activated in constraining contexts (e.g. DeLong, Urbach & Kutas, 2005). Furthermore, it has been suggested that an anticipated continuation from one syllable to another can be pre-activated before it is present in the input (Roll, Söderström, Mannfolk, Shtyrov, Johansson, van Westen & Horne, 2015). We descr

As wintering Whooper Swans Cygnus cygnus have shiftedtheir winter feeding habitats from water to terrestrialones, the International Waterfowl Counts, covering onlycoastal and lake sites since its start in 1967, cannot monitortrue population change. Therefore, special surveyscovering also the terrestrial habitats have been organizedin mainland NW Europe every ive years since 1995. InJanuary 2015, a

To provide a new reconstruction of the deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet, in the form of calendar-year time-slices, which are particularly useful for ice sheet modelling, we have compiled and synthesized published geomorphological data for eskers, ice-marginal formations, lineations, marginal meltwater channels, striae, ice-dammed lakes, and geochronological data from radiocarbon, varve,

Limestone samples from the Cambro-Ordovician Durness Group were crushed, aciddigested and searched for evidence of micrometeorites. Eleven melted micrometeorites were extracted from the magnetic fraction of samples from the Balnakeil and Croisaphuill formations near the top of the group. Other formations in the Durness Group did not yield micrometeorites. Only melted spherules with a distinctive d

A massive population growth in cities is currently being witnessed in most countries around the world. As urban populations grow, cities eventually expand geographically into what was considered countryside and nowadays distinguishing between what is city and what is countryside is getting increasingly difficult. In many Western countries, it is being observed that areas near cities seem to capita
