Background. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of pre- and postoperative vomiting in children undergoing a Video-Assisted Gastrostomy (VAG) operation. Patients and Methods. 180 children underwent a VAG operation and were subdivided into groups based on their underlying diagnosis. An anamnesis with respect to vomiting was taken from each of the children's parents before the operat
Generally, the time of contract formation is when the acceptance becomes binding and effective. This point in time may vary widely under different jurisdiction's national laws. Further, the special characteristics of the Internet may complicate the issue of the time of online contract formation The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on whether there is a requirement of a uniform rule, def
Information technology is in common use in our society and has affected government offices around the world and in Sweden as well. This has created a whole new form of administration that uses computerised aid in handling areas that generate a big amount of cases. Earlier examples of this within the Swedish administration is the tax authority's tax return through the Internet or by SMS and the

One possible symptom of deficiency of folic acid (folate) or vitamin B 12 (cobalamin) is impaired cognition. Status of these two B-vitamins have been linked to cognitive performance also in various populations of subjects with no evident clinical deficiency (for example in "healthy elderly"). The present study investigated 60 nondemented patients (mean age 58 years) presented with mild c
Authors: Sanna Fyledal and Sanne Hjalmar Title: Business and pleasure or victimization –media images of male and female prostitution Supervisor: Katarina Jacobsson Assessor: Håkan Jönsson Prostitution is often described as a female phenomenon in texts describing occurrence, spread and actions against prostitution. Male prostitution was only mentioned briefly, to state the lack of knowledge and in
Background The telecommunication market is characterized by short product life cycles why the time of the development process has to be minimized. This means lack of time in the development process why known and tried design solutions are being used to a great extent instead of trying new and less conventional solutions. The market is also striving to minimize the size of the mobile phone while in
The Background: Immigrant children's education is a very complex phenomenon that requires a special approach from pedagogues and country authorities. It cannot be neglected, otherwise the future consequences can be frustrating. According to the Swedish governmental policy, immigrant children should have the same rights for education as Swedish pupils. They should also have the right to preserv
Digital healthcare services and digital health information, here called eHealth services, have the potential to reach people with diverse needs as both a complement to and a substitution for traditional healthcare. The access to and use of digital health information and digital healthcare services that are accessible and usable for people with impairments is a complex phenomenon.This potential is
Marine and salt marsh sediments contain large amounts of organic carbon (OC) and are therefore important in the global carbon cycle. Here, we collated previously published and unpublished measurements of sediment OC in marine and salt marsh sediments in European regional seas (EURO-CARBON; available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14905489). To the extent possible the OC data were complemented b
Superconductor-semiconductor hybrid systems play a crucial role in realizing nanoscale quantum devices, including hybrid qubits, Majorana bound states, and Kitaev chains. For such hybrid devices, subgap states play a prominent role in their operation. In this paper, we study these subgap states via Coulomb and tunneling spectroscopy through a superconducting island defined in a semiconductor nanow
In an age of American unipolarity it is not surprising that questions regarding the perseverance of the current international structure constantly recur in contemporary international relations debates. As the discussion about whether the balance of power theory vanished with the Cold War continues, soft balancing has become a popular way to describe second-tier states' use of non-military tool

The present review reports on the influence of alcohol drinking and alcohol use disorders on psychiatric disorders and suicidal behaviour. The base of the study was previous reviews of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism publication Alcohol and Health in 1993 and by Helgason in 1996. Using a defined search strategy in Medline, another 42 articles from 1994 to 1996 were included
Background. The Nordic Mobility Related Outcome Evaluation of Assistive Device Intervention (NOMO 1.0) instrument evaluates the effectiveness of mobility devices in assessing mobility-related participation, captured by three scales (Need for Assistance, Frequency, and Ease/Difficulty) and one index (Participation Repertoire). Purpose. This study aimed to investigate a range of psychometric propert
Context. High-resolution spectroscopy across spatially resolved stellar surfaces aims at obtaining spectral-line profiles that are free from rotational broadening; the gradual changes of these profiles from disk center toward the stellar limb reveal properties of atmospheric fine structure, which are possible to model with 3D hydrodynamics. Aims. Previous such studies have only been carried out fo
