Mechanism-based therapy of non-cardiac syncope : a practical guide

The term non-cardiac syncope includes all forms of syncope, in which primary intrinsic cardiac mechanism and non-syncopal transient loss of consciousness can be ruled out. Reflex syncope and orthostatic hypotension are the most frequent etiologies of non-cardiac syncope. As no specific therapy is effective for all types of non-cardiac syncope, identifying the underlying hemodynamic mechanism is th

Evaluation of threshold-based models to account for surface moisture in meso-scale aeolian sediment transport simulations

Aeolian transport rates decreases during wet conditions as the threshold shear velocity for initiation of transport increases over moist sand. This study investigates the influence of surface moisture on meso-scale aeolian transport simulations. Yearly transport rates towards the dunes are simulated with ten different threshold-based models to account for moisture effects. The ten models show larg

Associations between daily home blood pressure measurements and self-reports of lifestyle and symptoms in primary care : the PERHIT study

OBJECTIVE: To explore in a primary care setting the associations between patients' daily self-measured blood pressure (BP) during eight weeks and concurrent self-reported values of wellbeing, lifestyle, symptoms, and medication intake. We also explore these associations for men and women separately.DESIGN AND SETTING: The study is a secondary post-hoc analysis of the randomised controlled trial PE

Den mjuka staten : Feminiseringen av samhället och dess konsekvenser

Under de senaste femtio åren har kvinnors makt i ­Sverige stärkts på ett dramatiskt sätt. Från att tidigare ha varit det generellt underordnade könet har kvinnor idag rentav en ­ledande ställning på många centrala områden. Viktiga yrken och samhälls­institutioner som tidigare dominerats av män domineras idag av kvinnor.I Den mjuka staten undersöker Erik J. Olsson och Catharina Grönqvist Olsson, ut

Longitudes, Syzygies, and Instruments in Regiomontanus' Calender for 1475-1531

Instruments and tables in Regiomontanus’ calendar published in 1474 are analysed and explained. It is shown that Regiomontanus used the Alfonsine Tables corrected for the longitude time difference between Toledo and Nuremberg. It is also shown that for the syzygy and eclipse times he used apparent solar times. The syzygy tables of George Peurbach may have been used to correct from mean to true syz

Four Instruments in Martín Cortés' Breve Compendio de la Sphera and a Rule for Finding the Age of the Moon

This paper investigates and discusses four instruments found in a sixteenth century Spanish book of navigation. The night clock is a rather standard application of similar instruments known since the fourteenth century in Europe. Cortés’ explanation of the causes of the deviation of the magnetic and geographical north is quite original. His instrument to correct for that the Polaris deviates from

Rättegången mot Galileo Galilei

Rättsfallspodd från Juridiska fakulteten.År 1632 ger den italienske vetenskapsmannen Galileo Galilei ut en bok som visar att den katolska kyrkans världsbild är felaktig. Jorden står inte still, utan roterar runt solen. Galileo åtalas för kätteri och ställs inför inkvisitionens domstol i Rom.

Fallet Åkerberg Fransson

Rättsfallspodd från Juridiska fakulteten.Hur ledde en berusad rysk militärs förehavanden på militärområde till att den norrbottniske fiskaren Åkerberg Fransson undslapp att straffas två gånger för samma gärning i ett skattemål? I det här avsnittet diskuteras Åkerberg Fransson fallet – ett viktigt mål som bl.a. ledde till att det svenska skattetilläggsförfarandet kom att omprövas i ljuset av europa

Reforms and coalition building around the reindeer pastoralism of the Indigenous Sámi people in Sweden, 2012–2022

In Sweden, Indigenous Sámi reindeer pastoralists must find effective ways to improve ecological conditions conducive to natural pasture-based reindeer pastoralism in a rapidly changing environment. In particular, they must challenge the conventional climate policy agenda of the dominant economic and political actors. This paper seeks to contribute to the emergence of a social movement that can pus

Neurophysiological signatures of prediction in language : A critical review of anticipatory negativities

Recent event-related potential (ERP) studies in language comprehension converge in finding anticipatory negativities preceding words or word segments that can be pre-activated based on either sentence contexts or phonological cues. We review these findings from different paradigms in the light of evidence from other cognitive domains in which slow negative potentials have long been associated withRecent event-related potential (ERP) studies in language comprehension converge in finding anticipatory negativities preceding words or word segments that can be pre-activated based on either sentence contexts or phonological cues.

Robust Coordination of Linear Threshold Dynamics on Directed Weighted Networks

We study dynamics in a network of interacting agents updating their binary states according to a time-varying threshold rule. Specifically, agents revise their state asynchronously by comparing the weighted average of the current states of their neighbors in the interaction network with possibly heterogeneous time-varying threshold values. Such thresholds are determined by an exogenous signal repr

The politics of immortality in Rosenzweig, Barth and Goldberg : Theology and resistance between 1914-1945

Highlighting the central importance of theological configurations of immortality and eternal life from 1914-1945, Mårten Björk explores the key writings of Franz Rosenzweig, Karl Barth and Oskar Goldberg to situate their ideas in relation to the political turmoil of the period, including the rise of social Darwinism, nationalism and fascism. The conversations happening among Christian and Jewish t

International Diabetes Federation Position Statement on the 1-hour post-load plasma glucose for the diagnosis of intermediate hyperglycaemia and type 2 diabetes

Many individuals with intermediate hyperglycaemia (IH), including impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), as presently defined, will progress to type 2 diabetes (T2D). There is confirmatory evidence that T2D can be prevented by lifestyle modification and/or medications, in people with IGT diagnosed by 2-h plasma glucose (PG) during a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance te

Spatiotemporal link between El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), extreme heat, and thermal stress in the Asia-Pacific region

Climate change is closely monitored and numerous studies reports increasing air temperature and weather extremes across the globe. As a direct consequence of the increase of global temperature, the increased heat stress is becoming a global threat to public health. While most climate change and epidemiological studies focus on air temperature to explain the increasing risks, heat strain can be pre

Sisterhood in prosodic branching

This article discusses the syntax–prosody interface, drawing on evidence from Stockholm Swedish. It is shown that a Swedish main clause containing an embedded clause has three prosodic correlates, two of which are non-isomorphic to the syntactic bracketing. However, two coordinated clauses have only one – isomorphic – prosodic correlate. Optimality-theoretic constraints (Prince & Smolensky 199

The prosodic hierarchy of Swedish

We give an overview of the phonological properties and processes that define the categories of the prosodic hierarchy in Swedish: the prosodic word (ω), the prosodic phrase (φ) and the intonation phrase (ι). The separation of two types of tonal prominence, big accents versus small accents (previously called focal and word accent, e.g. Bruce 1977, 2007), is crucial for our analysis. The ω in Swedis
