This study has been conducted in an effort to establish more suitable and accurate scoring model we use in everyday practice. Among the specific outcome prediction models, in 1989 Parsonnet et al elaborated a method of uniform risk stratification for evaluation of the results of cardiac surgery procedures. We have tested two forms of the Parsonnet score, Initial and Modified Parsonnet score, in ou

INTRODUCTION: Since their emergence, SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 have spread worldwide. We estimated the risk of hospitalisation and admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) for infections with B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 in Norway, compared to infections with non-VOC.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using linked individual-level data from national registries, we conducted a cohort stu

In post-industrial society, creativity has become a universal remedy for a range of societal challenges. Policymakers increasingly design policies where the notion of creativity is central. This chapter takes a closer look at how policymakers seek to facilitate creative work, and why policy related to creative work assumes the form it does. The chapter draws empirically from a longitudinal study o

With the explosive growth of communication traffic, increasing the modulation bandwidth of semiconductor lasers has attracted significant attention. However, after rapid progress is achieved, further increasing the modulation bandwidth of semiconductor lasers is hampered by the slow charge-carrier dynamics. Here, a room temperature, single-mode perovskite nanolaser with sub-picosecond pulses, enab

OBJECTIVES: We estimated the length of stay (LoS) in hospital and the intensive care unit (ICU) and risk of admission to ICU and in-hospital death among COVID-19 patients ≥18 years in Norway who had been fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (at least two doses or one dose and previous SARS-CoV-2 infection), compared to unvaccinated patients.METHODS: Using national registry data, we analyzed SARS-

The Λb0 → D+D−Λ decay is observed for the first time using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.3 fb−1. Using the B0 → D+D−KS0 decay as a reference channel, the product of the relative production cross-section and decay branching fractions is measured to be (Formula presented.) where the f

In this paper we present the differentiable log-Mel spectrogram (DMEL) for audio classification. DMEL uses a Gaussian window, with a window length that can be jointly optimized with the neural network. DMEL is used as the input layer in different neural networks and evaluated on standard audio datasets. We show that DMEL achieves a higher average test accuracy for sub-optimal initial choices of th

A combination of fifteen top quark mass measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC is presented. The datasets used correspond to an integrated luminosity of up to 5 and Formula Presented of proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. The combination includes measurements in top quark pair events that exploit both the semileptonic and ha

In the current in-vivo study we demonstrate the potential of the radiolabeled nanoparticle 177Lu-SN201 as an effective anticancer treatment, as evidenced by significantly prolonged survival and reduced tumor burden in the aggressive, triple negative 4T1 murine breast cancer model. We show with high statistical significance that 177Lu-SN201 is superior at suppressing the tumor growth not only compa

Based on the project of a collaborative performing arts lab, this chapter aims to illustrate and discuss the structural conditions for artistic development work in the performing arts sector. The joint lab would function as an arena for collaborative testing of how to artistically strengthen and develop the performing arts for a more diversified and digitally-oriented audience. I argue that the pr

Sammanfattning Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om det förekommer signifikanta skillnader i prestation mellan familjeägda och icke familjeägda bolag i Norden som helhet samt inom de nordiska länderna. Ett ytterligare syfte är att jämföra den nordiska, anglosaxiska och germanska kulturen samt bolagsstyrningen för att skapa en bättre förståelse för om/varför det kan uppstå skillnader i fAbstract Purpose: Investigate performance differences between family-owned and non family-owned companies in the Nordic region and within the Nordic countries. A further aim is to compare the Nordic, Anglo-Saxon and Germanic culture as well as corporate governance to create a better understanding of why there may be differences in financial performance between family-owned and non-family owned com
