Seeking for injunction relief may in some circumstances violate applicable competition law. The analysis will provide a hint, whereas patent holder who is dominating in particular market can or should be

In order to achieve the purpose of this work, the focus has been on the unit of child protection services and seven social workers have been interviewed. The study shows that social workers only handle incorrect informat

Exposure to urban air pollution during early pregnancy is associated with increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preeclampsia (PE), and there is an urgent need to understand how air pollution affects biological mechanisms in the placenta. Hofbauer cells (HBCs) are fetal placental macrophages that regulate immune tolerance in the placenta. They are normally polarized towards an anti

Artificiell intelligens har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse inom hälso- och sjukvården. En framväxande tillämpning är AI-verktyg för journalföring, som automatiserar delar av det administrativa arbetet genom att omvandla tal till text, strukturera anteckningar och i vissa fall föreslå diagnoser eller remisser. Verktygen kan effektivisera vårdpersonalens arbete, men väcker samtiIn recent years, artificial intelligence has gained increasing importance within the healthcare sector. One emerging application is AI medical scribes, which automate parts of administrative work by converting speech to text, structuring clinical notes, and in some cases suggesting diagnoses or referrals. These tools have the potential to improve the efficiency of healthcare professionals, but at

BackgroundLong-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) given for at least 15 hours/day improves survival in patients with severe chronic hypoxemia. However, the recent REDOX trial showed that LTOT prescribed for 24 hours/day was not superior to 15 hours/day in terms of death, hospitalizations, or self-reported outcomes. We aimed to examine the cost effectiveness of prescribing LTOT for 24 versus 15 hours/day.M

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of dimple geometries and arrangements on the heat transfer enhancement in a dimple jacketed heat exchanger. Design/methodology/approach: For the purpose of this paper, with the experimental validated numerical model, this paper carries out numerical simulations of both single dimples with different geometries and the whole dimple jacketed

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) remains the standard method for axillary staging in breast cancer. However,for the majority of patients with early breast cancer, it offers no treatment benefit and carries a risk of long-termside effects. In the era of surgical de-escalation, reliable preoperative assessment of axillary lymph node metastasis isessential to avoid overtreatment and support treatmen

Background: Adolescents are increasingly using classical psychedelics, yet little is known about how psychedelics use is related to their mental health. Emerging evidence suggests that adolescents may be more vulnerable to adverse outcomes in relation to psychedelic use compared to adults. This descriptive and exploratory study examined differences between adolescents and adults in reported psyche

Children undergoing surgery for posterior fossa tumours (PFT) may experience postoperative language and communication difficulties, regardless of whether they develop cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) or not. While these language difficulties are increasingly recognised in current research, children’s own experiences of everyday communication remain limited. In this presentation, we share findings

The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate the social identity of students at upper secondary school for physically disabled students. The youths I drew my attention to suffered from severe physical disabilities and therefore received specially adapted education in small classes, but integrated at an ordinary upper secondary school. By "social identity" I mean how the students

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of people located in discotheques in case of fire. A quantitative fire riskanalysis (QRA) for three different types of discotheques is carried out. The analysis is based on performance based codes from which fire protection alternatives are analysed. The results of the quantitative fire riskanalysis are described as risk profiles and average risk

When a country liberalizes trade through lowering taxes on imports, it stands before a number of challenges. Recovering lost trade tax revenue is one of them. Cape Verde is one of the countries that are currently negotiating an Economic Partnership Agreement with the EU and studies predict that the tariff reductions resulting from the agreement may have a severe impact on Cape Verde’s government r

Uppsatsen syftar till att söka förståelse till varför tvister mellan fackförbund om vem som ska teckna kollektivavtal uppstår. Arbetsmarknadernas parter är i allmänhet ense om att det som regel bör finnas ett kollektivavtal på varje avtalsområde. Kollektivavtalets speciella rättsverkningar gör det viktigt för fackförbunden att vara avtalspart i ett kollektivavtal. Kollektivavtalet sätter i stor utThe aim of this essay is to seek understanding about why conflicts appear between trade unions regarding which one of them should sign the collective agreement in the workplace. The labour market parties are in general in an agreement that there should only be one applicable collective agreement in every area of work. The unique effects of the collective agreement make it crucial for the trade uni

Macroinvertebrates and fish in the contaminated river are faced with a higher risk to suffer from exposure to Hg than humans eating contaminated fish and bacteria living in the groundwater. The river sediment is the most hazardous source for the macroinvertebrates, and macroinvertebrates make up the highest risk for fish. The distribution of body concentrations of Hg in fish in the mining areas of

Using Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) we have investigated the structure of the GaP(111)B surface. We have previously studied the formation of Ga droplets on GaP(111)B above the maximum temperature for congruent evaporation. In the present work, we investigate the nanometer-sized pyramid-shaped crystallites that are found on the GaP(111)B surface and

Sweden's connections to and relationships with the European and wider world is a field of study attracting considerable scholarly attention. The essays here, from archaeologists and historians, offer a new perspective on early modern Sweden as deeply affected by the increasing internationality of the 16th-18th centuries. Set in the socio-political context of an expanding and changing kingdom, they

Ett antal studier har visat att buller har negativa hälsoeffekter (Barregård et al. 2005; Rosvall et al. 2009; Nilsson, Eriksson & Palmqvist 2009). Exempel på problem som kan uppstå på grund av buller är sömnsvårigheter, hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, minskad inlärning och reducerad kognitiv förmåga (Berglund, Lindvall & Schwela 1999). Dessa typer av hälsoproblem leder till lidande för den enskNoise has negative health effects according to a number of studies (Barregård et al. 2005; Rosvall et al. 2009; Nilsson, Eriksson & Palmqvist 2009). Example of problems that can occur from exposure to noise is sleeping disturbances, heart diseases, lessened learning and reduced cognitive performance (Berglund, Lindvall & Schwela 1999). This kind of problems cause suffering on a personal le
