Currently, no ideal prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostic or prognostic test is available due to the lack of biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity. There is an unmet medical need to develop combinations of multiple biomarkers which may have higher accuracy in detection of PCa and stratification of aggressive and indolent cancer patients. The aim of this study was to test two biomarker gene p
The workshop brings together differing perspectives on what makes research data possible. How data is made represents an on-going negotiation between a number of elements. It reflects, firstly, the nature of disciplines and thecomplex way this is linked to cultures of research data and data sharing. Secondly, data is made across the complex temporalities within different practices of its managemen
Groundwater in most parts of the world is an important source of agricultural water supply for food production. Soil salinization, however, threatens groundwater quality and may cause irreparable damage to agricultural land. A key to tackling this threat is to analyze the link between agricultural crop water requirements and groundwater quality. This study aimed to investigate salinity effects on
Objectives: Both depression and suicidal behaviour have been associated with neuroinflammation. Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a protein involved in microglial activation, has been linked to pro-inflammatory cytokines and the severity of depressive symptoms. The extent to which peripheral levels of Gal-3 reflect neuroinflammation is unknown, as is the relationship between Gal-3 and suicidality. Methods: Bloo
The Cox Proportional Hazards (CPH) model has long been the preferred survival model for its explainability. However, to increase its predictive power beyond its linear log-risk, it was extended to utilize deep neural networks, sacrificing its explainability. In this work, we explore the potential of self-explaining neural networks (SENN) for survival analysis. We propose a new locally explainable
Objectives Critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are at an increased risk of acquiring bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI). We aimed to describe patient characteristics, risk factors, and the microbiological spectrum in blood cultures and evaluate the impact of ICU-acquired BSI on outcomes in a Nordic setting. Methods A prospective multicenter cohort study w
This study aims to explore how family therapists in social services perceive and describe quality in their work with family support, and how their experience and knowledge contribute to the quality of their practical work. The study was conducted through qualitative, semi-structured interviews with family therapists working within social services. The results reveal that professionals define quali
Accurate and continuous monitoring of inland surface water dynamics is vital for sustainable water resource management, climate impact assessment, and ecological planning. This study introduces a machine learning-based remote sensing-based data-fusion framework that improves Sentinel-3 radar altimeter (SRAL) estimations of water surface elevation (WSE) by integrating ERA5 reanalysis climate varia
Cryo-scanning electron microscopy (CryoSEM) permits the preparation and detailed imaging of bulky samples while keeping them in a hydrated state. For plant biology, cryofractures give information on cell ultrastructure and tissue organisation within a much larger context that is the whole organ or organism. To date, a method to locate fluorescence reporters on the cryofracture has not been reporte
Background: Multiple clinical practice guidelines and head computed tomography decision rules exist for emergency department (ED) triage of children with traumatic brain injury (TBI). These vary in structure, aim, target cohort, and outcomes, yet are used clinically in similar populations. We compared important clinical and practical characteristics of all major guidelines in a large, real-world p

Aims. Chronotropic incompetence and impaired heart rate (HR) recovery are related to mortality. Guidelines lack specific reference values for HR recovery. We defined normal values and studied blunted HR response and recovery and mortality risk. Methods and results. We included 9917 subjects (45% females) aged 18–85 years who performed a cycle exercise test. We defined normal values for peak HR, HR
This thesis aims to explore the meanings behind rural reading rooms (tushushi) in Yunnan Province, PRC. Rural reading rooms are small libraries attached to the village Party compound in Chinese villages; for the past decade 600 000 reading rooms have been established in administrative villages in China, and now benefit more than 1 billion farmers in what is arguably the world’s most important deve
This Thesis examines what possibilities Member States have to impose levies on CO2 emissions from motor vehicles in the light of EU indirect tax legislation and the Eurovignette Directive. In this Thesis, carbon tax on fuel and a CO2 differentiated road toll are studied as levying options. Motor fuel is an excise good to which the harmonised EU excise duty system applies. Accordingly, the questi
Uppsatsen behandlar begreppet arbetsbrist i bemanningsföretag. För att en arbetsgivare ska kunna säga upp en arbetstagare krävs det saklig grund i form av antingen arbetsbrist eller personliga skäl. Vinstdrivande uthyrningsverksamhet legaliserades i Sverige år 1993, och bemanningsbranschen har sedan dess kommit att bli en naturlig del av den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Branschen bygger på ett trepartThe essay addresses the subject termination of an employment contract with notice due to redundancy. Termination with notice by the employer must be based on objective grounds, which could be either due to redundancy or circumstances related to the employee personally. Profit-making temporary work agencies were legalised in Sweden in 1993 and have since become a natural part of the Swedish labour

Expectations of and prerequisites for Swedish school libraries is the subject of this master’s thesis. The purpose of the thesis is to gain insights into what a school library is expected to be and what is required to achieve it. The thesis focuses on the trade union DIK's award “World class school libraries” which is meant to function as a set of criteria for what a well-functioning school li
