Background: There are two conceptually different surgical treatment options for patients with T1 colorectal cancer (CRC): radical surgical resection and local resection. In addition, adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended in cases with lymph node metastases. However, surgical overtreatment of early CRC is a concern and may be related to limitations in preoperative work-up as well as tumour risk clas
The natural world is under unprecedented and accelerating pressure. Much work on understanding resilience to local and global environmental change has, so far, focussed on ecosystems. However, understanding a system's behaviour requires knowledge of its component parts and their interactions. Here we call for increased efforts to understand 'biological resilience', or the processes that enable com
Background Hypochondriasis, or health anxiety disorder, is associated with increased mortality, mainly from potentially preventable causes. Substance misuse is a well-known contributor to premature death, yet its relationship with hypochondriasis remains unclear. We assessed the risk of broadly defined substance-related problems in individuals diagnosed with hypochondriasis. Methods This Swedish r
Questions: Earth observation is an important tool in biological monitoring. Previous studies have shown that variation in grassland canopy reflectance can explain gradients in plant community composition. However, there is a need for methods that allow the interpretation of the overall spectral signal of complex grassland vegetation in terms of existing knowledge about individual species' habitat
Spleen cells from WF rats immunized to allogeneic lymphoid cells or to syngeneic colon carcinomas and from unimmunized controls were separated by countercurrent distribution in aqueous two-phase systems. The cells were assayed for cytotoxicity to allogeneic fibroblasts or syngeneic colon carcinoma cells and to syngeneic fibroblasts in a 24-hr 51Cr-release assay. Cells from immunized rats which sel
On March 30, 2022, Inno4Vac, a public-private partnership funded by the IMI2/EU/EFPIA Joint Undertaking (IMI2 JU), organised a hybrid workshop, titled “Regulatory Dialogue for Road Maps of Implementation of New Tools in Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls Dossiers.” This event brought together modellers, regulatory experts, and academic and industry professionals specialising in vaccine process
This essay investigates whether or not a governmental directive from 2012 con-cerning the use of citizenship in achieving better integration and a more dynamic Sweden, can be said to express Jürgen Habermas ideas of ‘constitutional patriot-ism’. The essay also scrutinizes how and if the directive’s ambition is achievable through the methods and means described therein, more specifically, the para-
Vi betraktar syntes och grendefekten av fyrlänks-mekanismer utifrån ett bergänsat antal task-positioner, baserat på kinematisk teori härledd från duala kvarternioner. Grendefekten är definierad som situationen där alla specificerade task-positionerna inte är sammankopplade av en kontinuerlig rörelse av mekanismens end-effector. Arbetsområ det av en fyrlänks-mekanism är härlett som snittet mellan tWe consider a finite position synthesis and branching avoidance of four-bar linkages based on kinematic theory derived from dual quaternions. The branching defect is defined as a situation where all specified task positions are not connected by a continuous motion of the linkage end effector. The workspace of a four-bar linkage is derived to be the intersection of two hyperboloids in the kinematic
A big challenge in the Wind Power industry is the breakdown of gearboxes. To increase the knowledge about Wind Power and gearbox breakdowns Vattenfall has done measurements on both the mechanical and electrical system of a wind power turbine e.g. during full load and partial load. In this Master Thesis focus is on voltage and current measurements on the generator conductors and the measurements of
The aim of this study was to investigate which factors relating to the 1) perpetrator of intimate partner violence and 2) the respondents have an impact on social workers’ judgements about the severity of intimate partner violence. The study was carried out by a factorial survey method - experimental vignettes - in which the respondents were asked to make judgements about vignettes – or fictitious
OBJECTIVE: To investigate changes in socioeconomic inequalities in patient-related outcomes and pain medication use, following participation in a digital self-management intervention for osteoarthritis (OA) in Sweden.METHOD: Participants with hip/knee OA enrolled in the digital intervention were included. Self-reported outcomes collected were the numerical rating scale (NRS) pain, activity impairm
Objective: Individuals with psychiatric illness suffer from poorer physical health compared with the general population and have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. This cross-sectional study aims to describe the prevalence of lifestyle and cardiovascular risk factors and the association with self-reported psychiatric symptoms in a population of 40-year-old individua
Beaches are important coastal features that provide vital ecosystem services; however, these systems are threatened by coastal erosion, sea-level rise, and coastal squeeze. Beach nourishments are a commonly applied coastal protection measure to mitigate erosion and flood risks while maintaining or enhancing recreational values. Nourishments vary in scale from mega-nourishments to small-scale nouri
Water is the matrix of life, and its confinement in nanocavities is a central topic from geophysics to nanotribology. Phyllosilicate layered minerals provide natural nanocavities for water due to their capacity to hydrate by confining water molecules in the interlamellar space. However, the hydration of phyllosilicates at the nanoscale is not a fully understood process and depends on the geologica
In this essay I argue that with too few alternative approaches, the strong feminist epistemological habit of attending to the political utility of art risks placing representations of subjective narratives whose emancipatory qualities might be unclear or doubtful out of scholarly reach. Feminist art historian Irit Rogoff discusses how feminist art historians are inclined to acknowledge visual repr
Between Circles and Constellations is organised by Sharjah Art Foundation and MACBA Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona. The exhibition is curated by Hoor Al Qasimi, Director and President of Sharjah Art Foundation, with Amal Al Ali and Meera Madhu, Curatorial Assistants at Sharjah Art Foundation.Between Circles and Constellations attests to Bouchra Khalili's committed enquiry into the hidden hi
This volume celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). In so doing, it offers a comprehensive and systematic treatment of the rights and duties contained in the UDHR, in the light of its history, the intentions of its drafters ant the standard-setting activities and monitoring efforts which have grown out of its existence. Each article of the UDHR is treat
This proposal addresses the profile area: Art, Technology, Materiality, by focusing on discussions of the nature of the materiality of artistic practice and its implications. The proposal considers the interplay between making and thinking, encompassing both the human and the non-human, resulting in co-constructed knowledge and meaning through performative and textile practices. This performative
Alla dör, men våra upplevelser av livets slut ser olika ut beroende på hur vårt liv och våra relationer sett ut. Denna avhandling undersöker hur genus, ålder och relationer påverkar människors erfarenheter och möjligheter under livets slutskede. I en tid då såväl hälso- och sjukvårdssystemen som informellt vård- och omsorgsgivande är satta under press är det extra viktigt att utveckla kunskap om hThe way that we die and care for the dying today is changing, related to extended life expectancy, neoliberalization, as well as shifting caring roles in relation to gender. In a time of “care crisis”, both formal and informal care resources are under duress, making the question of how to provide “a good death” complex and contested in new ways. Scholars in public health have posited a health prom
