Background: At birth, infants' lungs are fluid-filled. For newborns to have a successful transition, this fluid must be replaced by air to enable effective breathing. Some infants are judged to have inadequate breathing at birth and are resuscitated with positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Giving prolonged (sustained) inflations at the start of PPV may help clear lung fluid and establish gas volu
Objectives: Guidelines recommend a 0-hour/1-hour high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) diagnostic strategy in acute chest pain patients. There are, however, little data on the performance of this strategy when combined with clinical risk stratification. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of an accelerated diagnostic protocol (ADP) using the 0-hour/1-hour hs-cTnT strategy together
A fitting-attitude analysis which understands value in terms of reasons and pro- and con-attitudes allows limited wriggle room if it is to respect a radical division between good and good-for. Essentially, its proponents can either introduce two different normative notions, one relating to good and the other to good-for, or distinguish two kinds of attitude, one corresponding to the analysis of go
Although legal contexts are subject to biased reasoning and decision making, to identify and test debiasing techniques has largely remained an open task. We report on experimentally deploying the technique “giving reasons pro et contra” with professional (N = 239) and lay judges (N = 372) at Swedish municipal courts. Using a mock legal scenario, participants assessed the relevance of an eyewitnessAlthough legal contexts are subject to biased reasoning and decision making, to identify and test debiasing techniques has largely remained an open task.

microRNAs (miRNA) are small, noncoding RNAs that bind to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and regulate their activity. They are, therefore, important posttranscriptional regulators. In recent years it has become clear that miRNAs regulate large genetic networks, rather than single genes, and that one gene can be targeted by several miRNAs. To understand the role of miRNAs in cells or tissues, it is therefor
This paper assesses the potential changes in the demand for forest-based biomass for various energy purposes in Sweden in 2030 and 2050, respectively. The assessment is based on a review of scenarios and predictions of how the Swedish energy system may develop, taking into account techno-economical conditions. It includes potential changes in district heating, electricity production in combined he
Double U-pipe boreholes are the second most used type of ground heat exchangers after single U-pipe boreholes. The borehole thermal resistance is a key design and performance parameter for the double U-pipe boreholes. Another parameter that is particularly important for double U-pipe boreholes is the internal thermal resistance between the U-pipes. There is, however, a general lack of methods that
Objectives Depression is a common illness with substantial economic consequences for society and a great burden for affected individuals. About 30% of patients with depression do not respond to repeated treatments. Psychiatric comorbidity is known to affect duration, recurrence and treatment outcome of depression. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the extent to which psychiatric comorbidity
This paper is about the maritime claims of The Philippines and China in the South China Sea, a strategic place in the Southeast Asia and perceived as rich in natural resources. Nine countries have shorelines on the South China Sea. It is composed of four (4) island groups, one of which is the Spratlys, strategically located in Asia, with important and busy shipping lanes, rich natural resources an
Inom kärnkraftsverken, läkemedelsindustrin, biotekniklaboratorier mfl är det vanligt att det radioaktiva ämnet 14C förekommer i olika former. Inom kärnkraftsverken som en biprodukt vid elproduktion och inom läkemedelsindustrin används det som markör för att studera hur sunbstansen distribueras i kroppen. Genom inandning vid t ex oförsiktighet kan de människor som arbetar med dessa olika substanserWith the help from accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), hair from workers within the nuclear power industry, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry has been investigated to see if contamination from 14C. 14C-using companies and nuclear power plants were contacted, volunteers were recruited, who sent in hair samples together with a questionnaire. The samples were washed and prepared for 14C anal
The purpose of this report is to develop a model that identifies and reveals the total carbon dioxide emissions generated throughout in- and outbound freight transport made by Höganäs Sweden. The developed model is to be used for future environmental calculations and also act as a tool for discovering new areas of environmental improvements. During the developing process of the model a key issue
This thesis deals with the Environmental performance evaluation (EPE) of the Total Heating System. The main research objective was to identify all the environmental improvements made by Sydkraft after it took over the heating plant. The following research question was phrased: How can the environmental performance evaluation be performed in a systematic way in the heating system, and what environm
We present multiple-epoch radial-velocity observations for 104 stars in a field of the intermediate-age open cluster IC 4651 to . Only 13 stars (13%) of the full sample are field stars. From the 44 single member stars we find a mean radial velocity of , and the 12 single red-giant members yield a true radial-velocity dispersion of . Of the 19 giant members, 7 (37%) are spectroscopic binaries with
This paper tries to connect economic development and total fertility rate together and used two VAR model with the optimal lag respectively to analyze the impacts of economic conditions on total fertility rate in Denmark within half a century from 1956 to 2008. From the regression result of the first model VAR (4), there are slight difference in the impacts caused by GDP per capita, consumer price
This thesis analyzes the corporate rebalancing behavior of German publicly listed firms subsequent to equity price shocks. The examined period (1990-2012) includes a total sample of 2,154 firm-years. It is found that German firms do not counteract stock induced changes in market-based capital ratios in the short run; whereas managerial rebalancing activity gradually gains importance in the long-te
Concerns regarding environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and climate change have led to a shift within the research community and chemical and energy industry sectors for finding sustainable routes for producing fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, thereby minimizing our dependence on petroleum. The C3-chemical 3-hydroxypropionic acid has been identifed as a top candidate
Meta-analysis is a statistical method used in evidence synthesis for combining, analyzing and summarizing studies that have the same target endpoint and aims to derive a pooled quantitative estimate using fixed and random effects models or network models. Differences among included studies depend on variations in target populations (ie, heterogeneity) and variations in study quality due to study d
OBJECTIVES: To describe clinical characteristics and prognosis related to heart failure (HF) phenotypes in a community-based population by applying a novel algorithm to obtain ejection fractions (EF) from electronic medical records. DESIGN: Retrospective population-based cohort study. SETTING: Data were collected for all patients with HF in Southwest Sweden. The region consists of three acute care
