BACKGROUND: Vacuum-assisted abdominal closure (VAC) is being increasingly used as an adjunctive procedure in the surgical treatment of secondary peritonitis. This study compared postoperative mortality and complication rates between VAC and primary abdominal closure (PAC).METHOD: This retrospective chart review included all patients diagnosed with secondary peritonitis who underwent laparotomy bet
This non-interventional post-authorisation safety study (PASS) assessed the long-term safety of everolimus in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) who participated in the TuberOus SClerosis registry to increase disease Awareness (TOSCA) clinical study and received everolimus for the licensed indications in the European Union. The rate of adverse events (AEs), AEs that led to dose adjustm
Denna uppsats behandlar leverantörers möjligheter till skadestånd vid offentlig upphandling. De frågor som kommer att behandlas är under vilka förutsättningar en leverantör har rätt till skadestånd enligt lag om offentlig upphandling (LOU), huruvida det är möjligt för en leverantör att grunda sin skadeståndstalan direkt på skadeståndslagen (SkL) samt hur skadeståndet ska beräknas. Då lagstiftningeThis paper discusses suppliers' possibilities to recover damages at public procurement. The issues that will be addressed are the conditions under which a supplier is entitled to damages under the law on Public Procurement, whether it is possible for a supplier to base their claim for compensation directly on the Tort Liability Act, and how damages should be calculated. Since the legislation h
Sedan 2001 har EU-domstolen vid upprepade tillfällen framhållit att var och en som har lidit skada som orsakats av en överträdelse av EU:s konkurrensregler ska kunna kräva full ersättning för denna skada. Det har dock visat sig svårt för personer och företag som drabbats av en konkurrensskada att utnyttja denna EU-rättsliga rätt till ersättning. I syfte att främja skadeståndsprocesser baserade på Since 2001 the CJEU has repeatedly stated that, as a matter of EU law, any individual must be able to obtain compensation for harm suffered because of an infringement of EU competition law. As of today, victims of infringements of EU competition law are unable to effectively exercise that EU right. By introducing a Proposal for Directive, the Commission has taken a major step forward in promoting
Popular Summary Wildfire events are expected to increase with the changing climate; thereby increasing atmospheric, economic, and human health impacts. A better understanding of the evolution of wildfire events can benefit regional meteorology models and global atmospheric models. Because of this, an attempt at modeling the evolution of wildfire was undertaken using 8 years of daily meteorologica
Prior articles and reports have named Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads as a plausible indicator of default risk. In this report, the authors present a significant correlation between CDS spreads and two other more acknowledged methods of measuring default risk probabilities; the modified Merton model and credit ratings from the rating institute Moody’s. The tests are implemented by Spearman’s ran
In this paper I examine the Swedish discourse on terrorism to be found in the Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet following the bombings in Stockholm 2010.The research question that the paper revolves around is: What discourse on terrorism was dominating Swedish media following the bombings in Stockholm 2010 and what discourse was the strongest challenger? Which are the discourses’ n
En person som blivit så svårt skuldsatt att vederbörande inte kan antas bli fri från sina skulder inom en överskådlig tid kan i Sverige ansöka om skuldsanering hos Kronofogdemyndigheten (KFM). Om en skuldsanering beviljas innebär detta att gäldenären helt eller delvis befrias från ansvaret att betala sina skulder. För att överhuvudtaget kunna bli föremål för skuldsanering krävs dock bland annat at
Zambezi River Basin is an international river basin which sustains life of about 30 million people in its riparian countries: Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The main stream of the river enters to Mozambique with average flow of about 2330 m3/s and reaches the outfall in the Indian Ocean with about 4134 m3/s. This makes both the activities in the upstr
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the traditional views on cyberbullying and more specifically how others perceive and describe cyber-bullying and its causes, consequences and solutions. To carry out my investigation, I have used qualitative research methods in the form of text analysis. My empirical material consists of 44 Swedish blogs which 28 were written by young people, and the rema
A combination of acoustic trapping and impedance spectroscopy for micrometer-sized objects is here presented for the first time. Acoustic trapping has proven to be a well-functioning method for non-contact immobilization and positioning of particles or cells in microfluidic channels. The combination with impedance spectroscopy allows for simultaneous electrical measurements on the trapped objects.
Företagsskattekommitténs huvudförslag för nytt bolagsskattesystem är ett obeprövat beskattningssystem som inte finns i något annat land i världen. Denna uppsats behandlar både förslagets materiella innehåll och förslagets skattemässiga effekter för företag och branscher i Sverige.

Förslaget innehålThe main proposal for a new corporate tax system from the Swedish Committee on Corporate Taxation is an untested system that does not exist in any other country in the world. This paper both deals with the content of the proposal and the tax effects of the proposed rules for companies and various lines of businesses in Sweden. The Committee’s proposal is complex and entails significant changes in
The issue of thin capitalization has risen in importance in recent years, to the point that it warranted international action. That action came in the form of Action 4 of the OECD BEPS Project, of Article 4 of the EU ATAD and of the new interest deduction limitation rules in the national Swedish legislation. The main part of the chosen rule in all these instances disallows interest deduction over

In the near future, our species, and many others, face an upcoming shock in the global climate; one that could result in the potential extinction of more than just the human race. In order to combat this issue, the field of sustainability emerged throughout different sectors of society. One of the places that this topic has blossomed is within academia, and there are few things more important than
Matchfixning är ett är problem som hotar att rubba fotbollens integritet fundamentalt. Fotbollens värdegrund är och ska alltid vara kännetecknat av tävling på lika villkor vilket ska locka fram det bästa av utövarna. Matchfixning riskerar att omkullkasta den här värdegrunden. Vadhållningsrelaterad matchfixning innebär att en idrottslig aktör medvetet underpresterar i en tävling, i enlighet med en Match fixing is an issue that threatens to fundamentally distort the integrity of football. The basic principles and common values of football are, and should always be, characterized by competition on equal terms, designed to bring the players to perform at their absolute top. Match fixing puts this core value at risk of being toppled over. Match fixing related to betting implies that an athlete
The pressure to achieve net-zero emissions has pushed for new technologies including carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the combustion of biomass (BECCS). While bioenergy is a relatively mature industry in Sweden, the addition of CCS may increase the demand for local biomass. Furthermore, previous studies on the potential of BECCS in Sweden have not considered the impacts of climate change
