Background: The right internal jugular vein is currently recommended for temporary central dialysis catheters (tCDC) based on results from previous studies showing a lower incidence of central vein stenosis compared to the subclavian vein. Data is however conflicting, and there are several advantages when the subclavian route is used for tCDCs. This prospective, controlled, randomised, non-inferio

A nine mono-channel installation, part of the site-specific public work 'Spherical White with Diamond' commissioned by NATUR North Atlantic Tales/Curated Place in collaboration with National Trust Formby. Voices: Maja Jantar, Angela Rawlings, Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir.

Stereo work, released as part of the 'strengur' album, released by Carrier Recordings in 2022. The work uses AI renderings by David Brynjar Franzson as part of its material. The composition reworks recordings with performers Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir, Nguyen Thanh Thuy, Halla Lovísa Loftsdóttir and Árný Inga Pálsdóttir.

Solo violin part and electronics. The electronic part builds on an archival recording with Halla Lovísa Loftsdóttir (voice) and includes also reworking of improvisation by Nguyen Thanh Thuy (dan tranh). Loftsdóttir's performance is a vocalising of passion hymns, written in the Lutheran meditation style by priest and poet Hallgrímur Pétursson, first published in 1666. The archival recording is foun

Bakgrund: Åttiotvå procent av Sveriges befolkning har någon gång under sin livstid avstått från att söka vård för problem kopplade till sin sexuella hälsa. Majoriteten av arbetsterapeuter lyfter inte sexuella hälsoproblem med sina patienter på grund av bristande kunskap, otydliga riktlinjer samt få träningsmöjligheter. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka faktorer i mötet mellan arbetsterapeut och kliBackground: Eighty two percent of Sweden's population has at some point in their lifetime refrained from seeking care for problems connected to their sexual health. The majority of occupational therapists do not approach sexual health problems with their patients, due to a lack of knowledge, unclear guidelines and few training opportunities. Aim: The aim was to explore factors in the meeting b

Catch-up phenomena have been studied intensively in many manufacturing industries, but they have not been well explored in creative industries. Moreover, the internal heterogeneity of different segments within a specific industry has also largely been overlooked in the catch-up literature. This paper fills these gaps by analyzing the catch-up of a creative industry—the online game industry in Chin

The Paris Agreement includes the goals of ‘holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industriallevels’ and ‘making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions’. Industrial energy efficiency will playan important role in meeting those goals as well as becoming a competitive advantage due to reduced costs for companies. The al

Cyanobakterier är urgamla prokaryoter, som finns i en mängd olika livsmiljöer över hela världen. Deras förmåga att utföra fotosyntes (det vill säga att använda solljus, vatten och koldioxid för att producera syre- och kolhydrater) gör dem till viktiga primära producenter, och tillsammans med andra växtplankton utgör de basen för akvatiska näringsvävar.Vid optimala tillväxtförhållandena kan populatCyanobacterial blooms are increasing in occurrence and frequency world-wide, mainly due to eutrophication and increased water temperatures. In freshwater, Microcystis is one of the most common bloom-forming genera, renowned for producing the toxin microcystin which is harmful to humans and other mammals. The ability of Microcystis strains to produce microcystins is largely due to the presence or a

Two bacterial strains able to use syringol as a sole carbon source were isolated from compost. The isolates, named S1 and S4, were sequenced using the Illumina platform. The final assemblies contained 4.2 Mbp, 63% GC, and 3,912 genes for S1 and 6.2 Mbp, 64% GC, and 5,503 genes for S4.

In this study, we use an extension of the heterogeneous autoregressive model to investigate the influence of time-varying risk aversion and macroeconomic, financial, and economic policy uncertainty measures on stock market volatility and correlation. Based on the findings, there is a stronger predictive ability of these variables at the monthly frequency than at the daily frequency. We also highli

Background: Fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a rare and potentially life-threatening bleeding disorder of the fetus/newborn. Antibodies against human platelet antigen 1a (HPA-1a) are associated with the most frequent FNAIT cases. There are no approved therapies for FNAIT prevention or treatment. RLYB211 is a polyclonal HPA-1a hyperimmune IgG being developed to prevent FNAIT. O

Volatile molecules containing hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen are key components of planetary atmospheres. In the pebble accretion model for rocky planet formation, these volatile species are accreted during the main planetary formation phase. For this study, we modelled the partitioning of volatiles within a growing planet and the outgassing to the surface. The core stores more than 90% of the hyd

We present a series of papers dedicated to modelling the accretion and differentiation of rocky planets that form by pebble accretion within the lifetime of the protoplanetary disc. In this first paper, we focus on how the accreted ice determines the distribution of iron between the mantle (oxidized FeO and FeO1.5) and the core (metallic Fe and FeS). We find that an initial primitive composition o

It is one of the most basic requirements of today for sustainable social and economic development that individuals have the knowledge, skills and competencies appropriate to the requirements of the age. Vocational education and training (VET) is an important role that determine social and economic development levels of countries as well as urban growth. In general, vocational education is consider

Syftet med denna sammanläggningsavhandling är att belysa de etiska, juridiska och politiska konsekvenserna av olika försök att hantera lidande hos djur orsakat av industriell djurproduktion. På basis av kvalitativa studier utförda i Danmark undersöker avhandlingen hur skötseln av lantbruksdjur förhandlas inom olika sociala domäner. För detta ändamål använder avhandlingen rättssociologiska och tvärThis compilation thesis aims to develop an understanding of the ethical, legal and political implications associated with different strategies to address the suffering of animals caused by industrialised agriculture. Based on qualitative analysis conducted in Denmark, the research explores how ethical commitment to the situation of farmed animals is negotiated across different domains. The thesis
