Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste 10 åren har antalet människor i Sverige som dör av akut hjärtinfarkt minskat stadigt. Den äldre befolkningen är dock växande och med ökande antal människor med fetma och typ II-diabetes, står vi inför en stor utmaning i framtiden vad gäller hantering av patienter med akut hjärtinfarkt. För att möta denna utmaning är det viktigt att öka vår förmåga att bOne of the major determinants of the final infarct size during an acute coronary occlusion is the size of the myocardium subjected to ischemia. Identification and quantification of this so-called myocardium at risk in the acute phase of ischemia has been difficult in patients with conventional methods, such as myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or electrocardio

The capillary fringe is a small zone on top of the ground water table where a low capillary tension keeps soil pores with water up to a certain level. Normally, calculations in hydrogeology consider that the capillary fringe only has vertical movement like the unsaturated zone in comparison to the ground water zone, which only has horizontal movement. Today’s usage of pollutants in the environment

The present-day ocean-climate system configuration took shape during the Miocene Epoch. Toward the end of the epoch, in the late Tortonian at ca. 8.5 Ma, there was an exceptional event: collisional disruption of an >150-km-diameter asteroid, which created the Veritas family of asteroids in the asteroid belt. This event increased the flux of interplanetary dust particles rich in 3He to Earth and pr

Background: Invasive treatment of intermittent claudication (IC) because of severe atherosclerotic stenosis or occlusion in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is controversial. This prospective randomised trial was performed to assess the impact on health related quality of life (HRQoL) of primary stenting with nitinol self expanding stents compared with best medical treatment alone in patients

Background: Electrodermal reactivity has been successfully used as indicator of interest, curiosity as well as depressive states. The measured reactivity depends on the quantity of sweat secreted by those eccrine sweat glands that are located in the hypodermis of palmar and plantar regions. Electrodermal hyporeactive individuals are those who show an unusual rapid habituation to identical non-sign

The strategic direction of the European Union (EU) over the past twenty years has focused on increasing resource productivity and innovation in the economy, aiming at the efficient use and secured supplies of resources, economic growth and job creation, with fewer environmental impacts. One of the basic premises of the new ‘Green Deal’ for Europe is the promotion of the circular economy. The aim o

I en värld där många fler människor ska leva på allt färre resurser har matavfall hamnat i ett stort fokus. Svinnet innebär att hela produktionen har gått förlorad. Det är ett ekonomiskt bortfall för företag men även för samhället i stort. Dessutom orsakar hela livsmedelskedjan miljöpåverkan, inte minst från ett klimatperspektiv. De olika aktörerna försöker självklart minska sitt eget svinn men efIn a world where more people must survive on fewer resources, food waste has become greatly focused. Waste means that the entire production has been unnecessary. It is an economic loss for a company but also for society at large. Moreover, the food chain causes an environmental impact, not least from a climate perspective. The various actors certainly try to reduce their own losses but because con

Supervisor at the company who has assisted me with much help is Andreas Barbunopulos and supervisors at the school have been Ola Carlquist and Karl-Axel Andersson. The purpose

Nowadays it is common for corporations to invest in foreign countries. These international investment are important both for promoting the domestic economy and to promote the world economy. One step in the protection and promotion of international investment is to provide an independent international dispute settlement procedure which protects international in-vestment. Such procedure is provided

Arbetet innehåller en genomgång av gällande rätt, både vad avser grunderna kring armlängdsprincipen, rättstillämpningen, samt de faktorer som styr det marknadsmässiga priset i den enskilda transaktiThis essay deals with Transfer Pricing – a field in international tax law which deals with foreign transactions between separate entities in a corporate group. The composition deals with the challenges of aggressive tax planning and base erosion, observed by the OECD in the BEPS-project, which was launched in 2013. The investigation contains a survey of existing law in respect of the arm’s length

Gräsrotsfinansiering är en finansieringsform som växer i omfattning och popularitet. Kortfattat handlar det om att bolag söker kapital från den stora massan istället för de mer traditionella källorna. Det finns flera varianter av gräsrotsfinansiering, den som vållar de största juridiska spörsmålen är den delägarbaserade varianten. Denna innebär att investerare erbjuds aktier eller andra värdepappeCrowdfunding is a form of financing that grows in scope and popularity. In short, it is about companies seeking capital from the crowd instead of the more traditional sources. There are several different forms of crowdfunding. The one who mainly causes the legal questions is the equity form. This means that companies offer shares or other securities in, usually private, limited liability companies

The upcoming changes in the demographic structure will put pressure on the healthcare system in Skåne. Tax financed hospitals with more beds, doctors, nurses and other personnel will not be the solution to cope with the upcoming demands. Increasing healthcare productivity is one way, where digital healthcare is a potential part of the solution. One of the major limitations of the digital healthcar

What is Financial Assistance? Quantitative studies made on Swedish social workers (Stranz 2007 et al) handling means-tested benefits have shown that decisions taken by social workers are often hard to predict. Hence, means-tested benefits seem to be characterised by a lack of consistent application of rules. Contextual factors for the social worker administering the benefits (such as gender, age

Background: Guidelines for the emergency management of mild traumatic brain injury have been used for over a decade and are considered safe. However, they recommend computerized tomography for at least half of these patients. The Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee guideline uses serum S100B protein level to rule out intracranial hemorrhage. Analysis of capillary serum S100B protein level has not y

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is a human rights treaty adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989, which has had a major impact on children’s rights, policies and legislation in many countries around the world. This paper describes longstanding experiences of running a Sida-funded training programme on children’s rights at Lund University. The authors have participated in the progra

We report on the application of simultaneous single-shot imaging of CH and OH radicals using planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) to investigate partially permixed turbulent jet flames. Various flames have been stabilized on a coaxial jet flame burner consisting of an outer and an inner tube of diameter 22 and 2.2 mm, respectively. From the outer tube a rich methane/air mixture was supplied at

Background: Reliable exposure data is a vital concern in medical epidemiology and intervention studies. The present study addresses the needs of the medical researcher to spend monetary resources devoted to exposure assessment with an optimal cost-efficiency, i.e. obtain the best possible statistical performance at a specified budget. A few previous studies have suggested mathematical optimization

We and others have recently shown that tumor characteristics are altered throughout tumor progression. These findings emphasize the need for re-examination of tumor characteristics at relapse and have led to recommendations from ESMO and the Swedish Breast Cancer group. Here, we aim to determine whether tumor characteristics and molecular subtypes in breast cancer metastases confer clinically rele

Background: The Eye Clinic at Södersjukhuset used to be a healthcare facility with hospitalized patients, who stayed overnight. But with the construction of S:t Eriks eye hospital the healthcare facility was turned into a daytime clinic. The clinic stayed in the premises, which was oversized and not suited for clinical work. Over time the amount of patients and personnel increased until all rooms
