Ischemic stroke is caused by occlusion of a cerebral artery, which gives rise to focal ischemia with irreversible injury in a core region and partially reversible damage in the surrounding penumbra zone. Stroke leads to neural death and consequently neurological impairments. Therapeutic intervention of stroke comprises thrombolysis and thrombectomy by chemical or surgical means, respectively. If d
Ischemia is defined as a reduction in blood flow to a level that is sufficient to alter normal cellular function. Brain tissue is highly sensitive to ischemia, such that even brief ischemic periods in neurons can initiate a complex sequence of events that may ultimately culminate in cell death. Stroke and cardiac arrest induce the cessation of cerebral blood flow, which can result in brain damage.
I forskningsrapporten presenteras en kvalitativ intervjustudie med företrädare för branschorganisationer (sakkunniga som representerar arbetsgivarsidan) inom privat sektor som totalt representerar drygt hälften av samtliga sysselsatta i Sverige.Syftet är att studera branschorganisationers förhållningssätt såväl till egna system för validering av den enskildes reella kompetensprofil som till generi
The Extended Flipped Classroom (EFC) concept was developed for and applied to a selected group of students studying at the Technology Management programme, a cross-disciplinary master programme at Lund University, Sweden, in 2014. The main driving force for its development was a strong believe that the university can provide the students with, not only knowledge in various subject fields, but also
The ease and abundance of knowledge acquisition that is unparalleled in history, renders knowledge transition and practicing of skills in education insufficient. The importance of personal reflection and identity, i.e. the individual’s mindset, is increasingly important. Re-thinking educational approaches, to entrepreneurship and leadership in particular, is important since they are activities for

Research into HRM in relation to branding has mostly dealt with how to attract and maintain employees through employer branding. The present study attempts to link HRM directly to marketing and branding aimed at customers as an a
This paper presents a Bayesian indoor positioningsystem for smartphones based on the strengths of WiFi andBluetooth signals. A framework for improving the performanceof existing positioning methods with the help informationsharing between users is proposed and evaluated. Bluetoothsignals are sent between users, and the signal strengths containinformation about their relative distances, which is us
Can an educational programme develop tomorrow’s leaders? Can the mindset and skill set found in successful leaders be taught and learnt in educational programmes? This paper presents a leadership program, a cross disciplinary master programme atLund University, Sweden. The students study technology and management, however, the programme’s unique value proposition lies in its focus on leadership.Th

In this paper, we study how foreign ownership of Swedish companies affects employment and wages. To study these effects, we specify a model based onthe assumption that the Swedish labour market can be described as one wheretrade unions and employers bargain over employment and wages. Our hypothesis isthat bargaining power is affected by institutional settings and the ownership of thefirm.

The aim of this thesis is to analyse how members of the Swedish press were represented in different media from the 1870s to the 1930s, how and why the representations were changed, and the way newspaper staff responded to them. The representations of journalists in novels, short stories, movies, press history, press debates, pictures in the funny papers and so on are analyzed as parts of the publi
The general principles for assessing solute and fluid transport across the peritoneum in animal models are not different from those in human studies. Animal models allow for extensive standardization of experimental conditions and also for sampling of peritoneal tissues for analysis. The present review will focus on (1) the scaling issue between various species, (2) how to measure intraperitoneal
This essay introduces environmental historians to a new approach inspired by the burgeoning field of Wissensgeschichte; that is, the study of societal circulation of knowledge. It is argued that this new method can help us to better map out and analyse the emergence of modern environmentalism in society at large. To demonstrate the practical implications of the argument the essay is centred on an
