Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate if time to start chemotherapy (TTC) after primary debulking surgery (PDS) impacted relative survival (RS) in advanced epithelial ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancer (EOC). Methods: Nationwide population-based study of women with EOC FIGO stages IIIC-IV, registered 2008–2018 in the Swedish Quality Register for Gynecologic Cancer, treat
We summarise our work on male mating behaviour in the tropical butterfly Bicyclus anynana, responding to the commentary provided by Nieberding and Holveck. We acknowledge that our laboratory studies are not free of shortcomings and potential caveats, though we attempted to address or highlight these within each paper. The concerns raised seem to stem mainly from different notions with respect to t
The study objective was to assess the efficacy, safety and feasibility of switching from levodopa/benserazide (LB) or levodopa/carbidopa (LC) to levodopa/carbidopa/entacapone (LCE) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with wearing-off. This was a multicenter, open-label, 6-week study; the primary outcome was success rate based on the patient-assessed Clinical Global Impression of Change (P-CGI-C).

Alkali metal atoms, especially sodium and potassium, show an intense fluorescence in hot flue gases. The bright fluorescence emitted by alkali metal atoms offers a large potential for spectroscopic combustion analysis. In this thesis, the temperature dependence of the two-component fluorescence intensity ratio Na/K, as well as the three-component ratio Na·Li/K2 was investigated in the flames with
Aim: To evaluate a pipeline for automatic MRI brain segmentation and volumetric tissue structure quantification in a cohort of extremely preterm infants. Methods: 13 extremely preterm neonates underwent MRI-scanning at a term equivalent age. Seven of these subjects had suitable MRI sequences and were analyzed in the pipeline. Segmentation of MRI brain images into brain tissue types and parcellati
The Romanian healthcare system faces various structural issues such as corruption, underfunding, and lack of modernization.

Höganäs AB is developing an axial flux machine, where an even airgap between the stator and rotor is a vital parameter when designing a well functioning machine. It is believed that the stator is the component that introduces the biggest variations to the airgap, and that is why the stator is the object of investigation for this thesis. The stator is made of metal powder and the steps in the manuf
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how strategic investment decisions (SIDs) are made and implemented within the Swedish public sector.
