Deficiencies in software or computer chips cause computers or smartphones to crash and allow hackers to steal passwords. Automated test procedures could avoid these problems. However, the computing power and cooling requirements of conventional computers increase exponentially with the size of the problem, so that the technological limits for solving these problems will soon be reached. The EU pro

Purpose: To evaluate if preoperative assessment with A Quick Test of Cognitive Speed (AQT) could increase the accuracy of predicting delirium after cardiac surgery compared to Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and examine if a composite of variables, including cognitive function and depressive symptoms, could be useful to predict delirium. Patients and Methods: Cardiac surgery was performed in

Using methods from complex analysis we obtain some qualitative results for the kinetic energy of two-dimensional irrotational water flows (monotonicity of horizontal averages with depth, location of the extrema).

In this work, supercritical n-decane flowing in ducts with different orientations is thoroughly investigated in terms of secondary flow, wall shear stress, and thermal acceleration. It is known that the secondary flow strength hardly plays a role in cases of flowing upward, flowing downward, or flowing horizontally at a small heat flux/mass flux. Still, an attachment point can be found at the cent

The study was an extension of our earlier work on antiinflammatory and anticancer properties of G. asiatica fruit. We aimed to develop a bioassay guided multistep purification technique for producing bioactive fractions of G. asiatica crude extracts. Dried fruit powder was sequentially fractionated with 100% dichloromethane, 100% methanol (MeOH), and 50% MeOH. Active extracts were subjected to liq

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) often constitute a meal’s main carbohydrate source. When consumed outside the home, dishes are often prepared in large-scale food service systems, like school canteens and hospitals. To manage the logistics of serving the required quantities of potatoes, raw tubers must be prepared by washing, industrial peeling, preservative actions, and packaging to stand transpor

New public management (NPM) tar stor plats i dagens sociologiska studier av arbetsliv och samhällsutveckling, men försök att ge begreppet teoretisk stadga är sällsynta. I denna artikel inplaceras NPM i en längre samhällsutveckling som går tillbaka till det moderna samhällets rationalisering och ”avförtrollning”. Dess inverkan på arbetsliv och samhälle diskuteras med hjälp av klassisk sociologisk t

As a theoretical framework in organization studies, institutional logics is immensely popular. It has been used in a large amount of highly contributory and enlightening empirical studies, and developed far beyond its original formulation in a classical paper by Friedland and Alford (1991). In our paper, we identify three key theoretical problems that have emerged in the development and use of ins

In parallel with the changes observed in the world of work, the scope of occupational health and safety should be understood in a way that encompasses psychosocial risks. This necessity stems from the principle that occupational health and safety should be dealt with through a dynamic approach and finds itself a place in the national and international legal order. The scope of this thesis in terms

Brief remembrance of the circumstances and context of writing the PhD thesis and making acquaintance with Valeriu Aanania.

Det här är en roman; den femte av mina kriminalromaner om Thierry av Liège, vilka utspelar sig under Tyska ordens innehav av Gotland 1398-1408.

The US-Japan alliance established over seventy years ago is typically described by leaders on both sides as the ‘cornerstone of peace and security in East Asia.’ While China and North Korea may not share this positive view of the impact of the alliance on the region, the fact is that few alliances in modern international relations rival the US-Japan one in terms of durability, integration and infl

The blurred distinction between freedom of expression and hate speech in ever more polarised public debates across Europe and beyond has prompted research on hate speech, particularly focusing on right-wing populist politicians. Little is known, however, about how this distinction is construed by ordinary citizens. Deploying the concept of retrogressive mobilisation, this study examines how cases

In atrial fibrillation (AF), autonomic nervous system (ANS) differences among individuals may have a substantial influence on the varying effectiveness of anti-AF treatments. This work aimed to assess the relationship between changes in autonomic balance and in atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR) oscillations (F_{mathrm{f}}(t)) induced by head-up (HUT) and head-down (HDT) tilt test. 22 persistent AF (p

The conduction properties of the atrioventricular (AV) node have a significant impact on heart rate during permanent atrial fibrillation (AF), and can be modulated through the use of β-blockers or calcium channel blockers. These drugs have different physiological effects and are often selected empirically. Hence, an improved understanding of how these drugs affect the AV node conduction properties
