INTRODUCTION: Central venous catheters (CVCs) are essential in modern healthcare. Insertion of a CVC promotes a hypercoagulable environment, in part through activation of the intrinsic coagulation pathway. We have previously shown that blood obtained from newly inserted CVCs demonstrates immediate coagulation activation, with differences between samples collected directly after insertion and after
Wild bees and hoverflies are key pollinators, but their populations are declining in Europe. As the monitoring of each species would be arduous to implement, a cost-effective solution could be a shift from species level monitoring to an evaluation of the trends of functional groups. However, the lack of centralized trait databases hampers progress, as data are often dispersed across literature, li
This thesis empirically investigates the relationship between financialization and real capital accumulation in Swedish non-financial corporations (NFCs) from 2000 to 2024. Utilizing a Two-Way Fixed Effects regression model on firm-level panel data from the Serrano database, the study isolates the impacts of financial engagement on real investments across different firm sizes. The findings reveal
In order to fully utilize the technological potential of unconventional superconductors, an enhanced understanding of the superconducting mechanism is necessary. In the best performing superconductors, the cuprates, superconductivity is intimately linked with magnetism, although the details of this coupling remain elusive. Here, we address this gap by studying the electron-doped cuprate Nd1.85Ce0.
Ni-based superalloys components are utilised in some of the most hostile engineering environments. The exceptional high-temperature performance of these alloys presents significant challenges during manufacturing. Machining is a critical process, enabling the precise shaping of forgings into functional components. During material removal, plastic deformation of the workpiece material and friction
The role of the carrier-lattice interaction and associated self-trapped excitons (STEs) in broadband white-light emission in perovskite halides is one of the key aspects when aiming to develop next generation semiconductors for lighting applications. Herein, we provide microscopic insight on optoelectronic properties and electron-phonon interactions in potassium (K+) alloyed Cs2AgBiBr6, while eval
After the orange revolution in Ukraine, hope was given to achieve fully democracy in the whole society. However, this has not been the outcome; the Ukrainian public administration still has problems to deliver what the society demands. By answering the question: ?Which problems have the public administration to become democratic and how can we explain them??, we analyze the failures within th
The story of Jonathan and David is a part of the deuteronomical view of Israels history from the occupation of the holy land all the way to the exile in Babylon. I am aware of that this is not true history, but it is nevertheless interesting to ask oneself: Why are those people a part of the deuteronomical history? What was the meaning in telling the story in this way? Exegetes and researchers ar
"In Happy Expectation" : Swedish Maternity Fashion and the Depiction of the Pregnant Body in Pattern Advertising 1940–1990. This essay examines how the widespread Swedish home sewing industry contributed to the social regulation of the pregnant body between 1940 and 1990 through maternity fashion advertising. Using pattern magazines published by Kooperativa Förbundet and Holm & Nyblo
Moderate exercise is deemed beneficial for cognition due to increase in dopamine concentrations in the basal ganglia. Auditory white noise is beneficial for cognition, mainly for those with lower attentional ability, i.e. for those having lower tonic dopamine concentrations. For individuals with higher attention ability white noise can have a negative effect. In this thesis it was examined whether
Many economists agree that financial development and economic growth have a positive relationship, that financial structures have been critical for many countries to achieve modern economic growth. In the past decades, foreign investment has become more widespread in the entrepreneurial world, and the banking sector has not been an exception. Mexico experimented during the late 1990’s an unprecede
The purpose with this study is to investigate how the verdict against The Pirate Bay is presented in the public room from a normative perspective. My question is within the field – from the courtroom to the public room. The verdict against The Pirate Bay is unique because its relation to the Copyright Act. The defendants have been given review permit to the court of appeal. The debate about file s
I medierna förekommer ofta beskrivningar av utländska arbetstagare som blir utnyttjade av sina arbetsgivare på ett graverande sätt. Exempel på detta har varit de thailändska bärplockarna i Norrland och den kinesiska kock i Malmö som tvingades arbeta fram till att han kollapsade. Eftersom tvångsarbete är ett dolt fenomen utgör dessa fall förmodigen toppen på ett isberg. Tvångsarbete är inte explicThere are often articles in Swedish newspapers describing situations were foreign workers have been exploited by their employers. Well known examples are the Thai berry pickers in Norrland and the Chinese cook in Malmö that was forced to work until he collapsed. Forced Labor is a hidden phenomenon, therefore there is reason to assume that these cases only show the tip of the iceberg. Forced labor
This investigation is an exploratory case study examining the challenges that juvenile offenders in El Salvador face in integrating into their communities after a significant period of confinement. Given the repressive trend to crime prevention in the Central American context, labeling theory was used as a lens to examine how stigmatization challenges youth’s integration. Moreover, the theories of
This thesis examines the effect of closing down police stations on crime in Sweden from 1996 to 2011. This is done by analyzing the relationship between the number of crimes in a municipality, the crime rate and the closing down of police stations in 288 Swedish municipalities from 1996 to 2011. A quantitative approach using a difference-in-difference estimator and monthly panel-data from question
The purpose of the paper is to draw attention to the technological advance and its impact on marketing strategies in the hospitality industry. It examines the development of the profile of future consumers and their relationship towards technology. In order to approach the new consumer a brand touch-point wheel framework was used as a filter which enabled to analyze the communication between hotel
The aim of this study was to look further in to how adolescents perceived their primary schools sexual education and other sources of information on the matter. We wanted to find out how they valued and choose between the different kinds of sources they encountered. We also wanted to find out if there were any differences or similarities in how boys and girls searched for information. We used a qu
This paper focused on the relation between acquisition premium, acquirer leverage change and the post-acquisition performance. The purpose is to empirically examine the mediating role of acquirer leverage change between acquisition premiums and post-acquisition performance. A four-step mediation framework was employed, as proposed in Krishnan et al. (2007), combined with the controlling for other
For centuries the Roma people have been followed by violence and overall discrimination. Even though the European Union has ratified several conventions discussing discrimination and minority rights problems still persist. In the meantime right wing parties are receiving increased support in parts of the continent. These parties often use racist propaganda that is based on strategies that you also
