Objectives. Surgical sites infections are very expensive and the total costs for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery followed by deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) with conventional therapy are estimated to be 2.8 times that for normal, CABG surgery. Promising results have been reported with vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy in patients with DSWI. This study presents the cost of VA
This paper provides an estimate of the export flows that would have emerged from Ukraine to the European Union (EU) had Ukraine integrated with the EU. Using the 2004 enlargement of the EU as a quasi-natural experiment, this paper employs the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) to estimate the counterfactual Ukrainian export flows to the EU. The results from the SCM shows that the aggregate export flow
In late 2016, Lund is on the verge of becoming the center of accelerator-based material science in Europe.The MAX IV Laboratory, an electron synchrotron, was inaugurated in June 2016 with a scientific program to commence shortly and the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), a spallation neutron source, is presently under construction and anticipated to be fully operational by 2022.These facilitiThe He-3 “crisis” has become a fact in the last decade and large scale neutron detectors based on He-3 technologies have become unaffordable. This new He-3 reality has resulted in a major effort worldwide to develop replacement neutron-detector technologies. Many of these technologies are in their infancy and need to be thoroughly tested before becoming mainstream, while others are approaching co
The levelized cost of energy (LCoE) is an important measure to quantify the macro-economic efficiency of an offshore wind farm and to enable a quantitative comparison with other types of energy production. The costs of the structural integrity management - which is required to ensure an adequate lifetime reliability of the turbine support structures - are part of the operational expenditures of an

This paper examines the relationship between credit ratings and aggregate, as well as individual pillar CSR scores during the periods of 2009 and 2014 for European corporations. The results indicate that the aggregate CSR scores did not influence credit ratings for either period. However, social pillar scores had a statistically significant impact on credit ratings during the financial crisis of 2
Power-to-X (PtX) is an emerging approach in decarbonizing industries hard to electrify, and is in many cases requiring stable hydrogen supply to maximize production. Hydrogen is produced via electrolysis and requires large amounts of electricity, which can be expensive, especially when considering highly fluctuating electricity prices. One solution in reducing electricity related costs is to integ
This paper aims to explore if theory from the literature on Social Democratic parties can account plausibly for relatively better election results of the Swedish Social Democrats (SAP). With the use of multiple OLS regression it explores whether expansion of municipal labor decommodifying programs lead to more favorable municipal election results for SAP. Labor decommodification is measured throug

Svensk tillverkningsindustri bidrar till ca 16 % (Statistics Sweden 2016) av bruttonationalprodukten och medverkar till att ca 900 000 av landets invånare har en anställning (Produktion2030 2016), vilket gör sektorn till en viktig del av Sveriges välfärdssystem. Forskningen syftar främst till att ge industrin verktyg för att analysera och utvärdera produktion för resurseffektivare och lönsammare tIn today’s global market, the industry is struggling every day to make the “correct decisions”. Decisions concerning production can range from smaller improvements to choice tool or equipment investments to relocation of entire production facilities. Increasing globalization leads to both opportunities and challenges, driving the need for fact-based decision-support including costs to be able to e
This thesis investigates the economic consequences of informal sanctions imposed by China on Norwegian salmon exports following the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. Although no formal trade restrictions were announced, Norwegian salmon, a main export item, faced opaque import barriers that significantly disrupted trade flows. Using disaggregated product-level export
Since 2002, UNHCR has been updating its registration practices by e.g. implementing a unified data system, the Project Profile, and the use of biometrics. Large groups of refugees now have to leave their fingerprints as well as other personal data with the organisation, to be stored and subsequently used to e.g. verify their identity. This modernisation campaign has been encouraged and financially
To estimate the metabolic costs of regrowth of reproductive organs and formation of eggs, we compared the resting metabolic rate (RMR) of female great tits (Parus major) during the periods of ovarian recrudescence, egg laying, nestling feeding and during winter. We found RMR of individual females, as measured in an open circuit respirometer during night, to be significantly higher during all the b
