Introduction: Induction of labor is one of the most common obstetrical procedures today, with a successively rising rate. With a limited number of hospital beds, the option of starting induction at home has gained increasing attention. The primary aim of this study was to compare the proportion of women achieving vaginal delivery and the duration of hospital stay before delivery in induction of la
This document details the main economic benefits of the blue economy of Ibiza and Formentera (Henceforth the “Pitiusas”). The main ecosystem services that the marine environment provides on both islands are identified, and the economic benefits estimated. The final objective of this study is to support the design of a sustainable blue economy strategy in the islands, in line with the Agenda 2030 a
ObjectiveEstablish proportions of patients reporting important improvement, acceptable symptoms and treatment failure and define interpretation threshold values for pain, patient-reported function and quality-of-life after participating in digital first-line treatment including education and exercise for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsObservational study.

I outline a deflationary truthmakers account of social groups. Potentially, the approach allows us to say, with traditional ontological individualists, that there are only pluralities of individuals out there, ontologically speaking, but that there are nevertheless colloquial and social-scientific truths about social groups. If tenable, this kind of theory has the virtue of being both ontologicall
INTRODUCTION: Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) is an oncogenic protein that has been associated with a decrease in infiltrating T-cells in periampullary adenocarcinoma. This study aimed to investigate whether this is also the case for colorectal cancer (CRC) and to evaluate the relationship between COMP expression and clinopathological features.METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to d
What can artificial intelligence learn from the cognitive sciences? We review some fundamental aspects of how human cognition works and relate it to different brain structures and their function. A central theme is that cognition is very different from how it is envisioned in classical artificial intelligence which offers a novel path toward intelligent systems that in many ways is both simpler an
ObjectiveSelf-management support can improve quality of life, mood, self-efficacy, and physical function following a stroke. Knowledge of how people with stroke understand and experience self-management in different contexts is crucial to developing effective self-management support. This study explored how people with stroke understand and practice self-management during the post-acute phase.Meth
Huvudsyftet med etisk reglering av forskning på människor har alltid varit att skydda dessa. Vissa grupper, såsom personer med nedsatt beslutsförmåga, har setts som sårbara och därför i behov av särskilda skyddsregler. Nyligen har dessa regler kritiserats för att vara överbeskyddande, försvåra viktig forskning, och bryta mot mänskliga rättigheter, såsom FN:s Konvention om rättigheter för personer
This doctoral thesis is concerned with agency in the work of a performer, curator, and composer, and how these agencies are socio-culturally constructed. Grounded in creative practice as primary research methodology, the project builds on feedback loops between creation, analysis, and interpretation. The aim is to better understand the conventional norms that define the roles of composer and perfo
Hos patienter med medelsvår/svår långvarig icke-malign smärta är två av fem patienter förskrivna opioida läkemedel vid undersökning 2015–2017 vilket inte ligger i linje med aktuella behandlingsriktlinjer som avråder från långvariga behandlingar med opioida läkemedel då behandlingsnytta är oklar och risker väl belagda.
In this article, we seek to explain why the Swedish fideikommiss persisted for so long after their equivalents had been abolished elsewhere in Europe. We do this by analysing sources pertaining to abolishment produced by the Riksdag over approximately 150 years. After the ban on creating fideikommiss in 1810, the remaining fideikommiss were defended by emphasizing that they had been created throug
GWAS studies have identified hundreds of loci that associate with obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, the functional relevance of the genetic variants, and their impact on disease or traits, is largely unknown. To address those questions, we applied functional genomics approaches to study genetic variants pertinent to obesity and type 2 diabetes-related traits.In paper I, we demonstrate that rs6
