Background: Exertional breathlessness is a cardinal symptom of people with chronic airflow limitation (CAL) and can be evaluated using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Research Question: Does abnormally high exertional breathlessness in relationship to the rate of oxygen uptake (V′O2) and minute ventilation (V′E) indicate different underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms and clinical charac

This discussion paper recognizes that the Glasgow Consensus Statement is not optimally useful unless it is disseminated widely. Knowledge and use of the consensus statement and its call for centering humanism in healthcare extend to medical and health organizations and groups beyond the International Conference on Communication in Healthcare and Patient Education and Counseling audiences, to profe

The additional passing lanes and 2+1 roads improve significant road safety. Studies indicate sections with additional passing lanes (relief or alternately), which may cause reduction in the number of accidents by 50%. However, how geometric design affects the safety performance of such sections is not in depth investigated. Previous studies are carried out with two approaches, i.e. the most often,

Based on the International Conference on Information Systems’ (ICIS) 2014 senior scholars’ forum, we share insights on the relationship between evolving university business models and the adoption of electronic pedagogy. In recent years, particularly with the initiation of MOOCs, the potential for delivering high-quality and widely distributed coursework has expanded. However, particular instances

Risk-based inspection (RBI) planning is concerned with the optimal allocation of deterioration control which is based on the pre-posterior analysis using the Bayesian decision theory and the expected utility theory. It has been widely used to make inspection and repair strategy in the field of civil engineering and infrastructure systems. Nowadays, with the developments of sensing and inspection t

Increasing climate change is causing a rise in natural disasters. One of the most common natural disasters in Sweden is flooding. Vulnerability is increasing due to urbanization and the removal of green spaces in Swedish cities. In the acute phase of a flooding, the municipal Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) are generally first to respond. In this thesis, the FRS’ management of flooding is reviewed
