Lower extremity arteries might be affected by atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease (PAD), or by embolization causing ischaemic symptoms. Patients with PAD often have widespread atherosclerosis, and progression of PAD is associated with increased risk for both other cardiovascular events and cardiovascular mortality. Peripheral arterial disease patients should therefore be offered both non-p
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en betydande del av Sveriges och EU:s energianvändning och klimatpåverkan. Samtidigt ökar behovet av energieffektiva bostäder i takt med befolkningstillväxt och ökade krav på klimatanpassning och hållbarhet. Energieffektivisering inom byggnadssektorn lyfts därför fram som en central åtgärd för att minska energianvändning och växthusgasutsläpp. Utöver tekniska lBygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en betydande del av Sveriges och EU:s energianvändning och klimatpåverkan. Samtidigt ökar behovet av energieffektiva bostädeThis thesis investigates how window airing behavior affects indoor environment and energy use in residential buildings. The study focuses on the relationship between airing, indoor temperature, CO₂ concentration, and how different represen
Aims: Intermittent claudication (IC) is the most common manifestation of peripheral artery disease (PAD), an atherosclerotic condition associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Management targets cardiovascular risk reduction and limb function, but effective non-invasive treatments for limb symptoms remain limited. The aim of this prospective, multicentre randomized controlled t
Risk-informed development aims to include complex risks into all levels and phases of decision-making.
