Background: Lemierre syndrome is characterized by head/neck vein thrombosis and septic embolism usually complicating an acute oropharyngeal bacterial infection in adolescents and young adults. We described the course of Lemierre syndrome in the contemporary era. Methods: In our individual-level analysis of 712 patients (2000–2017), we included cases described as Lemierre syndrome if these criteria

Denna studie har utforskat chefers erfarenheter av att arbeta med suicidprevention ur ett ledarskapsperspektiv. Detta gjordes inom ramen för den psykiatriska slutenvården. Fem enhetschefer intervjuades med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Data analyserades med en förkortad version av grundad teori och guidades delvis av tidigare teori. Resultaten visade att enhetscheferna uppvisade olika ledarskapsbeThis study explores leaders’ experience of working with suicide prevention within a mental healthcare setting. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with five healthcare unit managers. The data was analyzed using a shortened version of grounded theory and partially with the support of pre-existing theories. The results showed that the managers displayed a wide variety of leadership

Background: The rapid increase in type 2 diabetes worldwide has mainly been attributed to lifestyle factors, including poor eating habits and physical inactivity. Type and quality of diet is a key factor in both prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. Aim: To investigate the association between diet quality and risk of type 2 diabetes. Methods and Subjects: This prospective study in the M

Magnetkameran används vanligen för att generera anatomiska bilder som används vid diagnostik av olika sjukdomstillstånd. Normala anatomiska bilder avspeglar magnetresonanssignalens (MR-signalens) magnitud, vilket är signalvektorns längd. Denna är proportionell mot bl.a. antalet vätekärnor i varje volymselement. Ett annat sätt att använda MR-signalen är att skapa en bild av signalvektorns fasvinkelIntroduction: The main purpose of this study was to extract global values of oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) in healthy volunteers, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phase maps. The repeatability of the method was evaluated, and the age dependences of OEF and CMRO2 were analyzed. Material and methods: Phase data were acquired using a 3T MRI scann

Denna kandidatuppsats är en kvalitativ undersökning om vilken effekt motiverande samtal (MI) har på arbetet för LSS-pedagoger som jobbar med personer med omfattande och varaktiga funktionshinder. MI är ett förhållningssätt som används i diverse vård och omsorgsyrken, men få studier har gjorts på samtalsledarens erfarenheter av MI, speciellt personal som jobbar inom LSS (Lagen om stöd och service fThis bachelor’s thesis is a qualitative inquiry into what effect Motivational interviewing (MI) has on the work experience of pedagogues working with people with mental impairment. MI is a counselling approach which is used in various care & support professions, but few studies have been conducted on the interviewer’s experience of using MI, especially people working in LSS (the Swedish act co

As mass timber construction gains momentum worldwide, cross-laminated timber (CLT) has emerged as an important material in the built environment. However, the combustible nature of wood presents challenges and fire safety concerns, and a key interest with respect to CLT is the adhesive bond line. CLT is commonly used in ceiling configuration, and current fire stability evaluations rely predominant

Due to COVID-19 and the penetration of OTT services, the cinema industry is suffering from audience loss. With this contextual change, the question of whether the cinema industry will survive is constantly rising. As motivation is known as the driving force for behaviour, this thesis focuses on the audiences who still visit the cinema and explore their motivations for cinema attendance to find wha

The main monitoring method during labor is cardiotocography, CTG, which measures the fetal heartbeat, FHR, as well as the uterine contractions, TOCO. The CTG is a valuable tool in assessing the fetal status and it is evaluated intermittently by clinicians during the progress of the labor. However, abnormalities in the CTG are often non-specific which makes the interpretation difficult and inconsis

The aim of this thesis is to design two patch antenna arrays for dual-frequency harmonic radar application, one for the transmitter and the other for the receiver. The arrays are used to track the Bogong moth that migrates from the countryside to the Australian Alps during spring. The tracking is done at the radar by operating the transmitter at one frequency and the receiver at twice the frequenc

Lifestyle modifications could be crucial in preventing and managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including diet and postprandial glycaemic control. Previous studies on the effects of polar lipids (PLs) on postprandial metabolic responses at Lund University have shown conflicting results. To reconcile these findings and contribute to the existing literature, th

This research paper investigates the technical feasibility, system requirements, performance characteristics, and potential for optimization of an industrial heat pump in a district heating system, using the Modelon Impact platform. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and limitations of using cloud-based simulation platforms for the design and analysis of indust

Miljöpåverkan är ett ständigt återkommande ämne i samhällsdebatten. Många företag strävar efter att minimera sin miljöpåverkan, vilket kan ske genom att återanvända material i stället för att producera nya. I fallet med betongproduktion finns det flera sätt att göra den bättre för miljön. Till exempel kan rivningstegel användas som alternativ till den traditionella ballasten, som ett sätt att minsEnvironmental impact is a recurring topic in the social debate. Many companies strive to minimize their environmental impact, which can be done by reusing materials instead of producing new ones. In the case of concrete production, there are several ways to make it better for the environment. For example, brick waste can be used as an alternative to the traditional stone aggregate as a way to redu

The triple planetary crisis exerts high pressure on countries to transform their current economic system. The transition to a green economy is not only necessary to ensure sustainable development but also essential for countries to remain economically competitive. The neighbouring countries Panama and Costa Rica are both facing significant challenges under the green transition, despite their diffe

Some say that the fourth industrial revolution is here now that machines can communicate with each other. This combination of Internet of Things (IoT) with industrial machines has been labeled Industry 4.0. Alfa Laval, manufacturer of liquid separators, together with B&R, an industrial automation company, want to explore the possibilities with Industry 4.0 and especially how Augmented Reality

En ny underfamilj av cellulära vakter i växter Heterologt överuttryck av proteiner innebär att en gen som kodar för ett protein uttrycks i en annan värdorganism som normalt inte har den genen i sin arvsmassa. Inom biokemisk forskning är detta en viktig metod för att kunna studera proteiners struktur och funktion. Tyvärr kan uttrycket av en främmande gen medföra skador på värdorganismens celluläraHeterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi
