Introduction. The cure rate of early stage Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is excellent; investigating the late effects of treatment is thus important. Esophageal toxicity is a known side effect in patients receiving radiotherapy (RT) to the mediastinum, although little is known of this in HL survivors. This study investigates the dose to the esophagus in the treatment of early stage HL using different RT

In the present study, we used eye-tracking to investigate formality-register and morphosyntactic congruence during sentence reading. While research frequently covers participants' processing of lexical, (morpho-)syntactic, or semantic knowledge (e.g., operationalized by means of violations to which we can measure responses relative to felicitous stimuli), less attention has been devoted to the ful

Aims. In this work, we aim to make a differential comparison of the neutron-capture and p-process element molybdenum (Mo) in the stellar populations in the local disk(s) and the bulge, focusing on minimising possible systematic effects in the analysis. Methods. The stellar sample consists of 45 bulge and 291 local disk K-giants observed with high-resolution optical spectra. The abundances are dete

Extremum seeking of nonlinear systems based on a sampled-data control law is revisited. It is established that under some generic assumptions, semi-global practical asymptotically stable convergence to an extremum can be achieved. To this end, trajectory-based arguments are employed, by contrast with Lyapunov-function-type approaches in the existing literature. The proof is simpler and more straig

Popular Abstract in Swedish Luften vi andas innehåller inte bara gaser som kväve och det syre vi behöver för att leva. Förutom de vanligaste gaserna i atmosfären finns det så kallade spårgaser, som visserligen har väldigt låg koncentration, men som har stor betydelse genom sina speciella kemiska och fysiska egenskaper. Koldioxid och ozon är exempel på sådana gaser. Förutom ozonets kraftiga oxideraThe air around us is full of aerosol particles which originate from a myriad of sources and which have vastly different chemical and physical properties. These particles span size ranges from 1 nm to 100 μm, equivalent to a factor 100 000 in diameter difference and a factor 10^15 in volume difference. They affect our health by depositing in our airways, worsening cardiovascular deceases, and they

Most adaptive controllers do not assume any a priori knowledge about the process to be controlled. In most situations there is, however, some knowledge about the process. This knowledge should be used to improve the performance compared to the “black box” approach of earlier adaptive controllers. The a priori knowledge is in this paper used in the estimation of the process and also in the design o

I svensk förvaltningsrätt har den generella rätten att överklaga sedan lång tid varit öppet formulerad i lag och lämnats till domstolarna att konkretisera. I praxis har talerätten gjorts beroende av indikationer i lag och förarbeten för att avgöra vilka intressenter som ska ha rätt att överklaga. Tre grunder för saklegitimation kan urskiljas. För det första är den som haft partsställning vid myndiIn Swedish administrative procedural law the right to appeal has long been regulated in a manner which has left it to the courts to decide the specifics. In practice who has the right to appeal has been determined by viewing the law in conjunction with the preparatory works established in its creation. Three different bases for standing can be identified. First and foremost the addressee of a deci

Purpose: This master thesis aims at bridging the distinct notions of production and consumption by investigating how well-established consumption frameworks gain significance in the employment world. Therefore, we ask how Gen Y talents experience their jobs as commodities and act as consumers in the workplace as a reaction to this comodification. The purpose of this paper is to gain a general unde

Sammanfattning Organiserad brottslighet samt hur man bekämpar och förebygger detta relativt utbredda problem är ett prioriterat område som får allt större utrymme i svensk kriminalpolitik. Det pågår en samhällsdebatt om att införa ett kronvittnessystem i Sverige. Justitieminister Beatrice Ask förespråkar systemet i hopp om att komma till bukt med den organiserade brottsligheten. Det svenska rätAbstract Means to prevent and reduce the growth of organized crime is a prioritized area in Swedish criminal politics. There is an ongoing debate about the introduction of a crown witness system in Sweden. The minister of Justice, Beatrice Ask, supports the system in hope to reduce organized crime. The Swedish legal system and its laws are restrained to reward criminals who contribute to investi

Abstract Host genes for resistance to pathogens and parasites have been a subject of long-term research efforts and continue to be a hot subject in biology. Many important theories have been hypothesized through the years, and they are now being complemented by new and more detailed ones leading to increased understanding of the complex dynamics between host life history strategies and the select

In recent years, the office market has been changing, mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic and technological innovation. This has impacted how office space is used and has led to an increase in the range of available real estate products. One of the decisions organizations need to make is whether to own or lease their space, which is a decision driven by several parameters. The right decision for a

Introduction: Breast cancer remains a global public health priority, with increasing incidence and mortality among postmenopausal women. While high body mass index (BMI) and reproductive history are established risk factors, the interaction between BMI and cumulative reproductive exposure, measured as fertile years, has not been thoroughly investigated. This study investigated the independent and

Denna studie presenterar resultaten från den första detaljerade strukturanalysen av glaciotektoniska strukturer på de norra klippexponeringarna på Ven tillsammans med den första sammanhängande tolkningen av öns glaciotektoniska utveckling. Dessutom presenterar studien resultaten av den första geomorfologiska kartläggningen av land former på Ven. Det primära syftet med denna studie var att fylla kuThis study presents the results from the first detailed structural analysis of glaciotectonic structures of the northern cliff exposures on Ven alongside the first coherent interpretation of the glaciotectonic evolution of the island. Additionally, the study presents the findings of the first geomorphological mapping of surface features on Ven. The primary objective of this study was to fill gaps

The railway makes an extensive barrier in the landscape. To lower the impact of this barrier, and to allow people to easily pass it, level crossings are implemented. A level crossing is an intersection in the same plane between railway and road. Here traffic of all sorts meet with railway vehicles, which is why level crossings are one of the most distinct points of conflict in the entire railway s
