Background: Obesity is a chronic disease linked to over 200 health conditions, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality. Despite the availability of multimodal treatments, there is a lack of standardised, patient-centred outcome measures to effectively assess and improve clinical care. This project aimed to define a core set of standardised outcome measures for adults with obesity, incorpo
Introduction: Implementing new treatment regimens entails a learning phase with a concomitant risk of suboptimal results. High caseload has generally been shown to improve results in complex surgical procedures. This study aimed to evaluate results of Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (IP), given as Early Postoperative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (EPIC) or Hyperthermic
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) containing lipoproteins, i.e. VLDL, LDL and Lp(a), are consequently lowered by ACTH treatment in humans. This is also seen as reduced plasma apoB by 20-30% and total cholesterol by 30-40%, mostly accounted for by a decrease in LDL-cholesterol. Studies in hepatic cell line (HepG2) cells showed that apoB mRNA expression is reduced in response to ACTH incubation and is followe
This article discusses the role of affect in the credibility assessment process in queer asylum claims. Through 27 semistructured interviews with caseworkers, it explores how sexual truth, in the Greek asylum apparatus, is affectively produced and analyses how access to asylum is intermediated by affective control of who is considered the “good” sexual citizen. According to the research material,
This thesis studies a network game of heterogeneous and asymmetric public goods. Players allocate their wealth between private and public goods, benefiting from the public goods provisioned by their out-neighbors on the network graph. Utilities are given by a Cobb-Douglas function to capture substitutability and decreasing marginal returns. I prove that the game is well-behaved under a condition r
Machine learning techniques have gained ground in macroeconomic forecasting in recent years. Estimations with the elastic net technique have yielded good results. There is currently not much research on how statistical techniques can be used to estimate the financial result in Swedish municipalities. This study adds to the current body of research by investigating how the elastic net technique can
Hybrid dairy products combine animal and plant-based ingredients in a single product and are positioned as a bridge in the protein transition. Existing consumer research has focused on product-level liking and has not examined whether consumers believe these products should exist at all. This study examined what drives purchase intention for hybrid cheese among Swe-dish consumers using a dual-rout
Introduction: The novel external beam therapy technique using ultra-high dose rates known as FLASH has become known for its normal tissue sparing effect. Currently in Lund, veterinary clinical trials are carried out on canine patients using electrons with ultra- high dose rates. By implementing a treatment planning system for FLASH-irradiation, the dose distribution can be visualized and the gantr
Diskussioner om entreprenörskap och idén om entreprenören har blivit alltmer framträdande – men för detta inte mer tydlig. Denna studie undersöker hur diskussioner om entreprenören formas diskursivt. Syftet med studien är att förstå hur representationer och mönster i talet om entreprenören konstituerar en diskurs om entreprenören som ideal. Analysmaterialet består av videor om entreprenören i sociDiscussions about entrepreneurship and the idea of the entrepreneur have become increasingly prominent – all the while not any clearer. This study investigates how discussions about the entrepreneur are shaped discursively. The purpose of the study is to make sense of how representations as well as patterns in the speech about the entrepreneur constitutes a discourse about the entrepreneur as an i
The aim of the study was to take a closer look at the thoughts of a group of adolescent students concerning drug abuse and whether they think it is something one can find a way out of or not. The main questions are: - How are their thoughts about use and misuse of drugs? - Do they believe that a person with a drug abuse problem can quit? - How do they think it is done and what factors may facilita
In recent years, Iceland has experienced a growing demand for residential housing and the average square-meter price for apartments and single-family homes in the Capital Region has almost doubled between 2010 and 2019. Property sales in Iceland are most commonly intermediated by real estate brokers and the sales process stands in contrast to other Nordic countries, since it involves a bidding pro
The discrete Bak-Sneppen model is a Markov chain describing the co-evolution of n species arranged in a one-dimensional circular lattice with periodic boundary conditions. Each species i at time t is assigned a fitness value xi(t) ∈ {0,1} and the system evolves through local interactions: at each time step, a species with fitness 0 is selected, and its fitness—along with that of its two neighbors—

The textile industry generates vast wastewater containing synthetic dyes and polymeric additives like poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which pose serious environmental challenges. Conventional treatment methods struggle to remove these contaminants while enabling resource recovery. PVA, widely used as a textile sizing agent, increases treatment complexity, while reactive dyes like Reactive Yellow 145 ar
This study assessed: (i) how the magnitude and direction of principal strains vary for different sideways fall loading directions; (ii) how the principal strains for a sideways fall differ from physiological loading directions; (iii) the fracture mechanism during a sideways fall. Eleven human femurs were instrumented with 16 triaxial strain gauges each. The femurs were non-destructively subjected
Background. A 43-year-old woman was referred by her occupational health service with suspected occupational contact dermatitis. In connection with the investigation, a workplace visit was undertaken at her company, which used an adhesive based on pre-polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate in one of its units. During the visit, we became aware of six other employees with skin problems who were then
In this paper, the prediction accuracy of the PHS (predicted heat strain) model on human physiological responses while wearing protective clothing ensembles was examined. Six human subjects (aged 29 ± 3 years) underwent three experimental trials in three different protective garments (clothing thermal insulation Icl ranges from 0.63 to 2.01 clo) in two hot environments (40 °C, relative humidities:
Background Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a fatal and still poorly understood degenerative movement disorder that is characterised by autonomic failure, cerebellar ataxia, and parkinsonism in various combinations. Here we present the final analysis of a prospective multicentre study by the European MSA Study Group to investigate the natural history of MSA. Methods Patients with a clinical diagno
