This dissertation explores two related advances in the production of twenty-first century pop music: first, the assimilation of practices and aesthetics from hip-hop and EDM (electronic dance music); second, the new generation of the digital audio workstation (DAW). This new type of DAW is increasingly part of global computational culture characterized by being ubiquitous, networked and device agn

PurposeArterial stiffness is independently associated with orthostatic hypotension in older individuals. The relationship between orthostatic blood pressure adaptation and aortic stiffness has not been thoroughly examined in a younger population. We investigated the relationship between orthostatic blood pressure adaptations, central aortic hemodynamics, and aortic stiffness in a cohort of predomi

Utgångspunkten för detta kapitel är att det finns ett behov av forskning som utöver föresatsen att förstå och förklara samhällets ojämlika strukturer och relationer också drivs av en ambition att aktivt bidra till att förändra dem. Även om många vetenskapliga studier inom socialt arbete tar sin utgångspunkt i kritiska perspektiv och drivs av en vilja att förändra rådande maktstrukturer menar vi at

This thesis analyses police officers' work with internal control of foreigners through a discussion of, among other things, the nation-state, rule of law ideals as well as the police profession and the conditions surrounding that profession. Internal control of foreigners, practised by police officers has two main aims: to control migration and to fight crime amongst people unauthorised to reside

"Jag har arbetat med barn i utsatta situationer i 30 år och har aldrig tidigare sett en svårare situation." Så beskrev en representant från civilsamhället situationen för barn och familjer som nyligen sökt asyl i Sverige, på en konferens i december 2019, som samlade ett stort antal frivilligorganisationer och offentliga aktörer. Organisationerna som fanns representerade på konferensen hade sökt oc

Purpose To describe nurse anesthetists’ experiences using smart glasses to monitor patients’ vital signs during anesthesia care. Methods Data was collected through individual semi-structured interviews with seven nurse anesthetists who had used smart glasses, with a customized application for monitoring vital signs, during clinical anesthesia care. Data was analyzed using thematic content analysis

Anaesthetic technique for open surgery of acute distal for arm fracture in adults/elderly is not well defined. Regional anaesthesia, general anaesthesia or a combined general and regional block may be considered. General anaesthetic technique, the timing and drug/drug combination for the regional block must also be considered. This is a study around published studies assessing anaesthtic technique

Purpose: Smart glasses are a kind of wearable technology that gives users sustained, hands-free access to data and can transmit and receive information wirelessly. Earlier studies have suggested that smart glasses have the potential to improve patient safety in anesthesia care. Research regarding health care professionals' views of the potential use of smart glasses in anesthesia care is limited.

Rationale, aims and objectives: Many surgical procedures are nowadays performed as ambulatory or short stay procedures, reducing hospital length of stay. Patient safety and quality of care remain imperative especially when adopting enhanced recovery pathways. Patients should be adequately informed and prepared prior to admission. Recovery is to a major extent dependent after discharge on self-careRationale, aims and objectives: Many surgical procedures are nowadays performed as ambulatory or short stay procedures, reducing hospital length of stay.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in various genes have been shown to associate with COPD, suggesting a role in disease pathogenesis. Sulfatase modifying factor (SUMF1) is a key modifier in connective tissue remodelling, and we have shown previously that several SNPs in SUMF1 are associated with COPD. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between SUMF1 SNPs and advanced l

Introduction: Allergic asthmatics with both an early (EAR) and a late allergic reaction (LAR) following allergen exposure are termed ‘dual responders’ (DR), while ‘single responders’ (SR) only have an EAR. Mechanisms that differentiate DR from SR are largely unknown, particularly regarding the role and phenotypes of neutrophils. Therefore, we aimed to study neutrophils in DR and SR asthmatics. Met

The issue of how to fulfil people’s needs and participation rights through deliberatively supported decision-making is a central issue in capacity law. In this chapter, I describe and discuss the inter-relationships between autonomy, capacity, and social services for persons with dementia in long-term home-based care in Sweden. Some of the points raised may apply equally to other groups with cogni

Memories may integrate elements experienced in different events. For instance, meeting a woman leaving her house, and later meeting another woman entering the same house, may allow us to infer that the two women live together. Such memory representations are thought to rely on integrative encoding mechanisms, allowing us to make inferences about the world and generalize knowledge to entirely new s

ObjectivesThe formation of episodic memories is critically determined by how we visually sample the world over time via sequences of eye movements. Nonetheless, in the neuroscience of human memory, memory encoding has almost exclusively been studied in experimental paradigms where the study material is presented in a single fixed location on the screen, and where eye movements are treated as artif

Episodic memory enables mental time travel, allowing us to relive specific, personally experienced events tied in time and place. This feat of human memory is considered to be dependent on the reinstatement of the cortical patterns that were active at the time of encoding. A growing body of recent literature has provided support for this idea by showing that retrieval success co-varies with the ne

First-generation migrants tend to have better health than those of native ancestry, while second-generation migrants often are affected by negative health assimilation. Less is known about immigrants arriving before their teens, the 1.5 generation, or those with one native and one immigrant parent, the 2.5 generation. We apply logistic regression models to study physical and mental health outcomes
