Background: Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) increase survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Although international guidelines recommend the use of AED registries to increase AED use, little is known about implementation. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of a national AED registry, to analy

Due to their high aspect ratio and increased surface-to-foot-print area, arrays of vertical semiconductor nanowires are used in numerous biological applications, such as cell transfection and biosensing. Here we focus on two specific valuable biosensing approaches that, so far, have received relatively limited attention in terms of their potential capabilities: cellular mechanosensing and lightgui

Importance: Since 2004-2007, national guidelines and recommendations have been developed for the management of extremely preterm births in Sweden. If and how more uniform management has affected infant survival is unknown. Objective: To compare survival of extremely preterm infants born during 2004-2007 with survival of infants born during 2014-2016. Design, Setting and Participants: All births at

The current Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines recommend the use of the bedside creatinine-based Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in children and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation in adults. However, this approach causes implausible changes in estimated GFR (eGFR) at the

AIMS: We aimed to investigate major adverse cardiac events (MACE: defined as all-cause mortality, re-infarction, and stroke), length of hospital stays (LOS), and comorbidities following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in a population with schizophrenia.METHODS AND RESULTS: This Danish register study included patients diagnosed with ACS in the period between 1995 and 2013 with a preceding diagnosis o

An overabundance of evidence, both observational and from model projections, indicate that changes to the climate system are taking place at unprecedented rates. Although the magnitudes of these changes involve large uncertainties, the fact that our climate is changing is unequivocal. To ensure an unimpaired functionality of our societies,it is therefore of crucial importance to study the potentia

Insect herbivores can shift the composition of a plant community, but the mechanismunderlying such shifts remains largely unexplored. A possibility is that insects alter thecompetitive symmetry between plant species. The effect of herbivory on competitionlikely depends on whether the plants are subjected to aboveground or belowgroundherbivory or both, and also depends on soil nitrogen levels. It i

In three studies across three cultures (U.S., Sweden, and Israel), we examine whether implicit theories about groups are associated with political identity and whether this relationship is mediated by Social Dominance Orientation (SDO). Study 1 found that raising the salience of entity beliefs leads to increased right-wing political self-identification on social issues, although no such effect was

We present 2p core-level spectra of size-selected aluminum and silicon cluster cations from soft X-ray photoionization efficiency curves and density functional theory. The experimental and theoretical results are in very good quantitative agreement and allow for geometric structure determination. New ground state geometries for Al 12 + , Si 15 + , Si 16 + , and Si 19 + are proposed on thi

Objective. To describe the long-term outcomes of patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK) and renal artery involvement (RAI). Methods. A retrospective review of 122 patients with TAK at three tertiary centres in Canada, Sweden and the UK. Data on demographics, laboratory and clinical parameters, medications and angiography findings were collected. Non-renal and renal parameters were compared at bas

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems performing at radiologist-like levels in the evaluation of digital mammography (DM) would improve breast cancer screening accuracy and efficiency. We aimed to compare the stand-alone performance of an AI system to that of radiologists in detecting breast cancer in DM.METHODS: Nine multi-reader, multi-case study datasets previously used for different

Together with increased shares of renewable energy supply, improved energy efficiency is the foremost means of mitigating climate change. However, the energy efficiency potential is far from being realized, which is commonly explained by the existence of various barriers to energy efficiency. Initially mentioned by Churchman, the term "wicked problems" became established in the 1970s, meaning a ki

The Mediterranean region and the Levant have returned some of the clearest evidence of a climatically dry period occurring around 4200 years ago. However, some regional evidence is controversial and contradictory, and issues remain regarding timing, progression, and regional articulation of this event. In this paper, we review the evidence from selected proxies (sea-surface temperature, precipita

This thesis test weak form efficiency in the stock markets of Ukraine, Russian, and China and compare the efficiency with USA stock market. We employ Distribution test, Unit root test, Runs test, ARMA test and GARCH test to estimate the efficiency of the above four stock markets. In our study, we find that under unit root test and runs test, all of the four stock markets are not weak-form efficie

The aim of our study was to examine how gender is created in the school world and how it affects the work with boys and girls. The questions we intended to look at were: How do you respond to ADHD in the school world depending on the sex of the child, and how does it differ; What difficulties do you face in the school world when working with boys and girls with ADHD, and how do you try to solve th

This study analyzes trade and FDI effect on wages in the 20 OECD countries. These countries are divided into six samples according to their geographical position. Panel cointegration and panel OLS methods are conducted during the study. The empirical model is built up on the base of the study of Onaran and Stockhammer (2006). The panel cointegration results show that there is a long-run relationsh

Denna studie hade som syfte att undersöka vad organisationskreativitet innebär och har för följder på ett företag där kreativitet betraktades som en hygienfaktor. Studien var en kvalitativ undersökning som utgick från en grundad teoridesign. Deltagarna rekryterades via företagets verkställande direktör och resulterade i sex intervjudeltagare med olika yrkesbeteckningar. De slutsatser som kunde dra
