Purpose: Cognitive function is often impaired for cardiac arrest (CA) survivors due to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Whether cognitive impairment at hospital discharge is associated with recovery defined as functional status and fatigue measured at 1-month post-discharge is not known.Methods: Consecutive CA patients admitted at an academic center (May 14, 2021–June 23, 2023) were assessed for cogPurpose: Cognitive function is often impaired for cardiac arrest (CA) survivors due to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence of meniscal calcifications in individuals with and without knee osteoarthritis (OA). Additionally, we aim to identify the specific types of calcifications: basic calcium phosphate (BCP) and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPP).METHOD: We analysed 82 meniscal posterior horn samples (medial and lateral) collected from 41 human subjects. Among them, 20 indivi

The growing demand for sustainable construction materials has led to an increased interest in utilizing wood in façade applications. Wood in façade applications can be treated with impregnation to enhance its fire performance; however, concerns surrounding fire safety necessitate a comprehensive understanding of how impregnated wood materials evolve over time in outdoor environments. This study, p

The plasma–surface interface has sparked interest due to its potential of creating alternative reaction pathways not available in typical gas–surface reactions. Currently, there are a limited number of in situ studies investigating the plasma–surface interface, restricting the development of its application. Here, we report the use of in situ ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in ta

Ongoing fermentation in kefir can lead to packaging issues like bulging packages and changes in sensory properties, potentially affecting consumer acceptance. Effective packaging is essential to address these problems and maintain product quality throughout its shelf life. This study aims to investigate the interaction between various packaging types and kefir products over their shelf life. It ex

This study examines how individual background factors in Italy influence employment quality, focusing on different labour market outcomes, namely income, employment duration, contract type, and part-time work using data from the Survey on Household Income and Wealth (SHIW). Results show that parental education and household wealth impact labour income, with wealth effects diminishing at higher inc

This paper analyzes the impact of trade shocks on the female labor force. The EU enlargement of 2004 entailed a potential trade shock for Germany as trade barriers fell. With an increase in export opportunities and an increase in import competition, the enlargement could have an effect on the German labor market. The analysis is a quantitative approach of a panel data analysis and ranges between 1

This project aims to use the Tröger’s base molecule to synthesize a linearly heptakis-Tröger’s base. The furthest this project reached was the synthesis of the linearly fused tris-Tröger’s base analogue. To reach this compound, nine synthesis steps were preformed starting with an aniline analogue. The aniline was first halogenated and then condensed into the first Tröger’s base analogue. This was

Järn är en metall som finns i överflöd på vår jord. Den är säker, är ett av de mest använda grundämnena genom den mänskliga historien och finns naturligt inom varje människa. När den kombineras med andra atomer kallade ligander för att bilda ett så kallat komplex, kan den ifall den får lov att absorbera ljus, uppvisa fotokatalytiska egenskaper. Detta innebär att den omvandlar det inkommande ljusetIron is one of the most versatile transition metals on the planet, and it is the fourth most plentiful element in the crust on earth. It is among numerous things, endogenously, vital to the human organism, and exogenously, safe to handle. When combined with ligands to form a complex, it exhibits qualities that of catalysing light into viable energy, which can be harnessed to sustain different elec

The circular economy (CE) is argued as a possible model for dealing with value chain instabilities in global production networks. Since geographical proximity is central to unlocking circular potential, x-shoring (including concepts like reshoring, resourcing, or friendshoring) is arguably key to this process. Often, spatial restructurings of the CE are embraced without a critical examination of t

Artikel om de danska judarnas flykt över Öresund hösten 1943 ur ett regionalt, huvudsakligen skånskt, perspektiv.

Confronting the challenges of high transportation emissions, this thesis investigates development-based land value capture (DBLVC) as a pioneering and sustainable funding mechanism for private passenger rail initiatives in the U.S., particularly in contexts marked by a shortage of public financial support. This research centers on the Florida East Coast Industries' Brightline project, exemplif

Decarbonising the energy-intensive industries is a pressing issue for the EU to reach its climate target of climate neutrality by 2050. To tackle this challenge green industrial policy will be needed. A growing number of scholars argue that a mission-oriented and transformative approach to green industrial policy is needed to achieve climate neutrality objectives. Mission-oriented policy is a ‘tra

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and other electrical and electronic equipment exported for reuse from the EU to West Africa can contribute to a circular economy (CE) extending products’ use, but too often impact negatively on receiving countries. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes in the EU operate domestically and do not capture exports, thus EPR fees do not flow to receiving countries

This thesis examines the synergies of post-growth policies that aim to decrease environmental pressure at the legislative level of the European Union. Motivated by the urgent need to mitigate global warming and the limitations of the green growth paradigm, this thesis focuses on three specific post-growth policies: restriction of large resource extractions, reduction of caps on pollution, and proh

Arterial stiffness (AS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common in the older population. AS results in increased pulsatile pressure, elevated pulse pressure (PP), and is linked to hypertension. PP is a surrogate for AS. The kidney has low vascular resistance mechanisms, presumably making it vulnerable to the increased pulsatile pressure and hypertension associated with AS. The aims of this stu
