Aim: Bridge to surgery (BtS) aims to decrease perioperative morbidity and mortality in emergency resection (ER) of the colon. Previous results are inconsistent, and long-term comparisons are scarce. The aim of this study was to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of BtS and ER. Method: This retrospective study examined data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry for patients treated for

Exposure to environmental factors is generally expected to cause degradation in perovskite films and solar cells. Herein, we show that films with certain defect profiles can display the opposite effect, healing upon exposure to oxygen under illumination. We tune the iodine content of methylammonium lead triiodide perovskite from understoichiometric to overstoichiometric and expose them to oxygen a

BACKGROUND: Covid-19 transmission via exhaled aerosol particles has been considered an important route for the spread of infection, especially during super-spreading events involving loud talking or singing. However, no study has previously linked measurements of viral aerosol emissions to transmission rates.METHODS: During Feb-Mar 2021, covid-19 cases that were close to symptom onset were visited

Methods: For 17 patients with early stage and 17 with locally advanced lung cancer, a plan in FB and in DIBH were generated with Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm (AAA). Plans for early stage were 3D-conformal SBR

Det svenska folkbiblioteket som institution är under förändring. Utlånen minskar då material nu är tillgängligt för användare hemifrån via internet. Däremot används biblioteksbyggnaderna fortfarande till en rad olika ändamål. Det är en plats på för studier för många olika målgrupper och många bibliotek har inrättat lärcentrum för vuxna. Barn och ungdom är en viktig grupp eftersom bibliotek är en The Swedish public library as institution is under change. Library loans is steadily decreasing because content is now accessible for users at home via the internet. However, the library building is still being visited for a wide variety of purposes. It is a place for study for all age-groups and many libraries provide learning spaces for adults. Children and youth are important groups because th

Narkotikapolitik är idag ett väldiskuterat och aktuellt ämne. Lagstiftning skiljer sig väsentligt mellan länder och likaså idéer och tankar kring vilken väg som är rätt att gå. Syftet med denna uppsats är granska samt synliggöra Portugals och Sveriges vitt skilda narkotikapolitik för att genom teori analysera och redogöra för ländernas motiv, resultat och påverkan på samhället samt individ. En visDrug policies are today a deeply discussed subject and types of legislation, ideas and thoughts differ from country to country. The purpose of this paper is to examine the widely different narcotic policies of Portugal and Sweden, as a means to through sociological theory analyze and portray the different motives, results and effects on society and the individual. Both Sweden and Portugal use soci

1809 antogs en ny regeringsform i Sverige. En nyhet i denna var att den ålade kungen att skydda var och ens rätt till fri religionsutövning, vilket på ytan verkar innebära att religionsfrihet infördes. Samtidigt fanns det i kyrkolagen och missgärningsbalken regler som innebar att svenska medborgare var förbjudna att konvertera från den luthersk-evangeliska kristendomen. Det till synes paradoxala fSweden adopted a new constitution in 1809. It included an article that obligated the king to protect each and everyone’s right to freely practice their religion. This seems like an introduction of religious freedom into Swedish law. However, general law prohibited Swedish citizens from deviating from lutheranian christianity. This thesis focuses on the seemingly contradictory relationship between

Fintrådiga alger – husligt eller kusligt för djuren? Som många säkert vet har Östersjön varit (och är!) utsatt för många påtryckningar från oss människor. Näringsämnen från åkermark, utlopp, bekämpningsmedel har fått åka rakt ut i havet vilket har lett till övergödningen av Östersjön. Utöver det har det bedrivits ett överfiske under en lång tid som bland annat har minskat antalet stora rovfiskar.Macroalgae are important habitats which can be found almost all over the world. An alteration has been observed from perennial species to annual filamentous algae during the last decades. This change has affected the abundance, diversity and composition of the invertebrate fauna living in these habitats. This study observes how the increasing amounts of epiphytic, filamentous algae growing on the

Neutralitetsprincipen har sedan länge varit en starkt etablerad och mycket vik-tig princip på idrottens område. Att stå fri från politiskt inflytande och att stå neutrala i politiska frågor grundar sig i viljan att vara en inkluderande och accepterande arena där alla idrottare kan tävla på lika villkor, oavsett politiska eller religiösa bakgrunder. Idrottsrörelsen vill vara en värld dit polariseraThe principle of neutrality is a well-established and important principle within the sports world. The freedom from political influences and the ability to remain neutral in political matter is founded on the wish to be an inclusive and accepting arena, where athletes compete on the same terms, regardless of political or religious background. The sport world’s main objective is to be an impartial

The study also includes an analysis of how legal precedents may have influenced the decision-making process by examining cases decided before and after the rulings

All organisms are made up ofcells, the smallest functional unit of life. While organisms such asplants and animalscan consist of trillions of cells, others consist of just one cell.One group of unicellularorganisms is called bacteria. Because oftheir small size, bacteria and other microscopic small organisms are classified as microorganisms. In nature, mostbacteria do not live as single cells. Th

Denna masteruppsats undersökte potentialen i att använda biobaserade akrylatmonomerer för att producera mer hållbara vattenbaserade golvlacker jämfört med de petroleumbaserade monomerer som nuvarande används. Dispersioner skapades genom emulsionspolymerisation och formulerades med koalecenter och vätningsmedel för att bilda lacker vid rumstemperatur. Den främsta utmaningen med biobaserade monoThis master thesis investigates the potential of using biobased acrylic monomers to produce more sustainable waterborne floor coatings compared to the petroleum-based monomers currently in use. Dispersions were created through emulsion polymerization and formulated with coalescent and a wetting agent to form films at room temperature. The primary challenge with biobased monomers is their highe

Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda uppsägningsgrunderna arbetsbrist och personliga skäl för att undersöka hur arbetsbristen kan bli fingerad. Genom användning av den rättsdogmatiska metoden beskriver uppsatsen innebörden av begreppet fingerad arbetsbrist i ljuset av gällande rätt. Den arbetsrättsliga lagstiftningen utgår ifrån arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt att leda och fördela arbetet som tar sThe purpose of the essay is to examine what characterizes the grounds for termination of employment and to investigate how redundancy can be contrived. By using the legal dogmatic method, the essay illustrates the meaning of contrived redundancy in the light of current law. The labour law legislation is based on the employer’s right to free management and employment, which is expressed in the emp

Fragmentbaserad läkemedelsutveckling (FBDD) har på senare tid utvecklats som en lovande alternativ metod för att identifiera svåråtkomliga bindningsställen, såsom små fickor eller allosteriska säten.

Målet med projektet är att möFragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) has in recent years emerged as an interesting method to target challenging binding sites, such as allosteric sites or small pockets. Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC™) is a FBDD technology where dissociation constants of injected compounds are determined by comparing retention times between a protein column to a reference column. The goal of this project was t

As the population ages, the risk of loneliness increases,especially when reduced mobility or illness leads to isolation from community and social life. At the same time 7 percent of Danes live with major disabilities, yet the built environment often overlooks their needs. Age and disability alike reveal how architecture continues to fall short of true inclusion. This thesis is an experiment in r

The aim of this essay is, in the light of Juan de la Cruz poem Canciones de alma, to study the dialectic of Gods absence and presence in contemporary theological thinking. Central to the study is Gianni Vattimo, David Tracy and Gustavo Gutierrez, three important voices in contemporary theological discourse. The method used is a comparative text analysis in combination with a conceptual analysis. I

Despite the issue of greywater management gaining more importance around the world, espe-cially in developing countries, it still remains a challenge in non-sewered areas of South Afri-ca. For a semi-arid country, reusing greywater on a household level has great potential as an alternative water source if done properly. On a household level, the popular repurposing of greywater is for irrigation

Arbete i utbyte mot lön utgör grundförutsättningarna för i snart sagt allt ar-bete. Den som bryter denna överenskommelse löper risk att göra sig skyldig till arbetsvägran och i värsta fall bli avskedad. Kort sagt: du bör göra som du blir tillsagd på ditt arbete. I de kollektivavtal som finns mellan Svenska Journalistförbundet och arbets-givarorganisationen Almega finns dock en regel som öppnar upLabour in exchange of salary is the basic agreement of almost all em-ployments. A person who violates this agreement will be at risk of being guilty of refusal of work and, in worst case, could be dismissed. In other words: You should do what you are told at work. However, the collective agreements that exist between the Swedish Journalist Union and the employers organization Almega contains a ru
