Background: The management of cervical cancer patients with intraoperative detection of lymph node involvement remains controversial. Since all these patients are referred for (chemo)radiation after the surgery, the key decision is whether radical hysterectomy should be completed as originally planned, taking into account an additional morbidity associated with extensive surgical dissection prior

Many groups of immigrants have worse health than the native population in the host countries. One possible explanation for this is that immigrants are disadvantaged in the labor market, since it has been shown that both precarious and locked-in labor market position can be associated with health problems. However, no published study to date has analyzed the prevalence or consequences of locked-in

We present an analysis of atmospheric transport impact on estimating CO2 fluxes using two atmospheric inversion systems (CarboScope-Regional (CSR) and Lund University Modular Inversion Algorithm (LUMIA)) over Europe in 2018. The main focus of this study is to quantify the dominant drivers of spread amid CO2 estimates derived from atmospheric tracer inversions. The Lagrangian transport models STILT

Aims: Use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in older patients has increased, and assessing outcomes in older LVAD recipients is important. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate associations between age and outcomes after continuous-flow LVAD (cf-LVAD) implantation. Methods and results: Cf-LVAD patients from the multicentre European PCHF-VAD registry were included and categorized into

Background: Due to demographic changes and a strained public sector operating in many countries globally, informal care is increasing. Currently, at least 1.3 million adults in Sweden regularly provide help, support and/or care to a family member/significant other. With no sign of an imminent decrease in their caring activities, it is important that informal carers are considered as a key stakehol

Background: After decades of ubiquitous oxygen therapy in all patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), recent guidelines are more restrictive based on lack of efficacy in contemporary trials evaluating hard clinical outcomes in patients without hypoxemia at baseline. However, no evidence regarding treatment effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) exists. In this study, we investig

Tre fiskgjusar utrustades med sändare innehållande GPS-mottagare inför hösten 2006. Sändarna gav information om fågelns position varje timme under hela flytten från Sverige till Afrika. Data från sändarna användes i den här studien tillsammans med marktäckedata för att ta fram en metod för att undersöka samband mellan landskapet och olika aspekter av flytten. Fiskgjusen förväntades välja en väg soThree Ospreys were fitted with satellite transmitters including GPS receivers in autumn 2006. These transmitters provide hourly data of the birds’ positions during their migration from Sweden to Africa. These data, together with land cover data, was used in this study to develop a method for investigating the influence of landscape properties on different aspects of bird migration. The Ospreys wer

Abstract Introduction: Smoking is a major public health concern, accounting for nearly 700,000 deaths on an annual basis, globally. The socio-economic differences within smoking are well established, reflected in a social gradient that is estimated to account for half of the socio- economic differences in mortality for men aged 35-69 years in developed settings, such as the European region. Aim:

Förmannaansvar (command responsibility) är en form av straffansvar som utvecklats till största delen under 1900-talet och ger möjlighet att åtala militära befälhavare och andra överordnade för krigsbrott samt brott mot mänskligheten genom att bevisa tre rekvisit. Inledningsvis måste befälhavaren ha effektiv kontroll över den underordnade som begått brottet. Vidare krävs att befälhavaren innehar enCommand responsibility is a mode of criminal responsibility that developed mostly during the 20th century and provides the opportunity to charge military commanders and other superiors for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by their subordinates by proving three criteria. To begin with, the commander must have exercised effective control over the subordinate, moreover the commander m

Background: The annual mortality for patients on dialysis is high even if it has decreased from 30 % in 1991 to 18 % in 2016. It is mainly caused by an increased cardiovascular and infectious morbidity. Previous studies have reported improved survival for patients with home hemodialysis (HHD). However, patients starting HHD are younger and healthier compared to patients starting other dialysis mod

BACKGROUND: TKA generally has excellent long-term survivorship. When a new knee system supersedes a previous model, increased survivorship, improved functional performance, or both may be expected, because key areas of design modification are often targeted to address wear, stability, and the patellofemoral articulation. However, not all design changes are beneficial, and to our knowledge, knee ar

We have earlier shown that both full-length and truncated glycosylated tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) lacking the third Kunitz domain and the c-terminal region has an antithrombotic effect comparable to low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in an experimental venous thrombosis model. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a recombinant truncated non-glycosylated TFPI (117QTFPI1-161

Climate change is shifting from being seen as a future prediction once, the realisation that it is already a reality is growing. Action to combat its impacts has to be taken now. Next to mitigation measures increasing emphasis is put on climate change adaptation action. While mitigation aims to tackle global climate change, adaptation focuses on reducing the local impacts. Climate change adaptatio

Conspicuous consumption has been steadily growing and possess considerable functions in creating and expressing consumers’ self-identities. Conspicuous consumption is something that plays a large part in the consumers lives due not only the visible exchanges but also the symbolic value that it brings and creates a reciprocity between consumers self-identity and conspicuous consumption. This study

Introduction The incidence of unplanned dialysis initiation (DI) with consequent increased comorbidity, mortality and reduced modality choice remains high, but the optimal timing of dialysis initiation (DI) remains controversial, and there is a lack of studies of specific reasons for DI. We investigated why and when physicians prescribe dialysis and hypothesized that physician motivation for DI is

Jordbruket har en stor miljöbelastning, men är också alltmer centralt för att finna lösningar på hållbarhetsproblem. Ett angreppssätt för ökad hållbarhet är politisk styrning och reglering. I avhandlingen analyserar jag några frivilliga marknadsbaserade regleringar: certifiering och rapportering. Detta är regleringar som involverar företag och konsumenter. Jag har undersökt hur några sådana initiaAgricultural businesses contribute to sustainability problems, but they are also increasingly central to the effort to develop solutions. One way of moving toward sustainability is through regulatory governance. In this thesis, I analyze a tool of regulatory governance called voluntary market-based regulatory initiatives. Specifically, I investigate two types of initiatives, certification and disc

OBJECTIVES: • To investigate whether cysteine-rich secretory protein 3 (CRISP-3) and/or β-microseminoprotein (β-MSP) expression in diagnostic prostate needle biopsies have predictive value for prostate cancer (PC) on radical prostatecomy (RP). • To evaluate their potential clinical implementation in a preoperative setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: • In total, 174 participants from the European Random

Denna avhandling studerar faktorer som påverkar rekryterare då de skall välja bland jobbsökande med olika etnisk bakgrund. Generellt förväntades att de sökandes etnicitet skulle påverka rekryterares val och deras uppfattning om vad som är viktigt att ta fasta på hos en arbetssökande person, och att detta kan ske i olika faser av rekryteringsprocessen.Studie 1 visade att företagsnormer påverkar rekThe present thesis aimed to study different factors influencing recruiters when recruiting from an applicant pool with applicants from an ethnic ingroup and outgroup. Ethnicity was predicted to influence recruiters’ perception and behaviour in different phases during recruitment. Study I demonstrated that company norms affect recruiters’ perception of what an employee should be like. Company norms
