In the autumn of 2011, the course “The City: Boundary Transgressions and Visual Expressions” was given for the first time. Formally placed at the Division of Art History and Visual Studies, the course is a collaboration with the Division of Social Anthropology and is directed towards students from a range of disciplines within the fields of the humanities and social sciences. The course includes
BACKGROUND: Patients who survive after suicidal hanging attempts suffer from transient brain ischaemia. Morbidity and mortality is high, and no specific therapy is available. Hypothermia attenuates ischaemic brain damage and has become standard care in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest; therapeutic hypothermia may thus be useful for near-hanging victims as well.OBJECTIVES: To perform a literatu
Skatteflykt, skatteundandragande och aggressiv skatteplanering av företag underminerar staters förmåga att respektera, skydda och uppfylla mänskliga rättigheter eftersom stater berövas nödvändiga resurser för att förverkliga ekonomiska, sociala och kulturella såväl som medborgerliga och politiska rättigheter. Företags skattebeteenden har tidigare betraktats som en elefant i rummet inom Förenta natCorporate tax evasion, tax avoidance, and aggressive tax planning undermine states’ ability to protect, respect and fulfill human rights since states are deprived of necessary resources to realize economic, social and cultural rights as well as civil and political rights. Corporate tax has previously been called the elephant in the room within the United Nations’ (‘UN’) framework of Business and H
Förändrat uttryck av den muterade immunförsvars-genen TLR2 kan bidra till ökad resistens mot borrelia – en studie på immunförsvaret hos vilda gnagare Skogssorkar (Myodes glareolus) och andra vilda gnagare utgör de huvudsakliga bärarna av bakterien Borrelia afzelii. Dessa bakterier kan orsaka sjukdomen borrelia och sprids vanligen från gnagare till andra däggdjur via fästingar. Trots att sorkarna
Large gulls are generalist predators that play an important role in Arctic food webs. Describing the migratory patterns and phenology of these predators is essential to understanding how Arctic ecosystems function. However, from all six large Arctic gull taxa, including three long-distance migrants, to date seasonal movements have been studied only in three and with small sample sizes. To document
This report considers improvements in Swedish Rescue Service Agency’s obser- vation activity on occurred accidents. A model is constructed to develop the work for observers and decisions-makers.
Elemental Carbon (EC) has been in focus for a long time due to its importance for climate effects and human health (WHO / IPCC). The pollutant is released by incomplete combustion of carbon fuels, making road traffic, off-road machinery, and wood stove burning the largest sources of EC emissions. In this work, we investigate the distribution of EC over Denmark using a combination of three models w
Purpose: After resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), renal injury and hemodynamic instability are common. We aimed to assess the association between low cardiac output during targeted temperature management (TTM) and acute kidney injury (AKI) after OHCA. Materials and methods: Single-center substudy of 171 patients included in the prospective, randomized TTM-trial. Hemodynamic
The resurgence of artificial intelligence (AI) has empowered organizations to concentrate their research efforts on enhancing decision-making and automation capabilities. This is being pursued with the goal of increasing productivity, whilst reducing costs. With this, it is perceived that the jobs within these organizations that are considered subject to ‘routine’, or repetitive and mundane tasks,
Malignant melanoma (MM) is a frequent form of cancer with increasing incidence. 6-10% of patients with MM report a family history of MM, and in most populations 2% of unselected cases of MM carry a CDKN2A mutation. tvWe present a family with 24 cases of MM in nine persons from several generations, caused by a previously undescribed germ-line intronic mutation in CDKN2A. Through genetic counselling
INTRODUCTION: Preeclampsia (PE) is an important cause of fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. It is considered a two-stage disease, the first stage characterized by a defect placentation and the second stage by maternal manifestations. Details of the patho-physiology behind the transition from stage one to stage two remain unclear.OBJECTIVE: Was to study first trimester placental gene expre
In medical research, it is not unusual that risks are ruled out without any specification the exact risk that was ruled out. This makes it difficult to balance expected health benefits and risk of harm when choosing between alternative treatment options. International guidelines for reporting medical research results are sufficiently specific when it comes to establishing health benefits. However,
