Combinatorial optimization provides a powerful framework for solving complex optimization problems with general-purpose solvers by modelling the problem in an abstract language. Due to breakthroughs in algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems in last decades, combinatorial optimization has become a valid approach to solve many real world problems efficiently. Key application areas a
BACKGROUND AND AIM[|]The incidence of skin cancer has risen sharply over the past 30 years - coinciding with the rapidly increasing tattoo trend. In Sweden, 20% of the population is tattooed. The link between tattoos and skin cancer needs to be investigated, due to the presence of carcinogenic chemicals in tattoo ink, and the lack of epidemiological studies of the association. We aimed to investig

Responsible for roughly 40 % of global greenhouse gas emissions, energy usefor heating and cooling in the built environment constitutes a significant portionof annual total carbon emissions. The effort to decarbonise the heating andcooling sector necessitates efficient production, distribution and end use ofenergy. In this context, district heating and cooling is considered one of thecost-efficien
Malrotation leading to massive chylous ascites is rare. A 9-year-old girl was investigated for slowly increasing abdominal distension under a year. She had no vomiting, weight loss, or pain, but was bothered in social situations. Medical investigations, including ultrasound and computed tomography scans, revealed massive ascites. Laparocentesis yielded milk-colored fluid, confirmed as lymph throug
Background Trauma audit filters, based on standards of care, serve as quality indicators and screening tools for patient cases to be assessed at interdisciplinary morbidity and mortality conferences. These conferences aim to identify potential opportunities for improvement in the care of trauma patients. This study aimed to determine the performance of individual audit filters in predicting opport
Background Wound dehiscence is a known complication after anorectal malformations (ARMs) surgery. The aim was to evaluate if a standardized post-posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) treatment program decreased wound dehiscence rates. Methods Wound dehiscence rates within 30 days post-PSARP were compared in a case-control single-center study between patients with a standardized post-PSARP trea
Child abuse, including physical, sexual, or emotional violence or neglect, is a global problem with serious and long-term consequences for children. Even though child abuse is prohibited in Denmark, the estimated number of physically and sexually abused children is relatively high, whereas the annual number of forensically examined children is low. We present the Danish practice and legal foundati
Diagnosing drowning as a cause of death remains complex in forensic pathology, demanding integration of autopsy findings, contextual evidence, and case-specific variables. This study systematically reviews literature on lung weights in adult drowning cases, analyzing data from 20 studies to evaluate lung weight as an evidentiary factor in the diagnosis of drowning deaths. Additionally, this study
BACKGROUND: Child Abuse and Neglect (CAN) is a severe threat to children's health and well-being worldwide. Since oral and dental health are indicators of general health, dentists and dental hygienists are in a favorable position to identify potential cases of CAN.OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the caries experience in primary and permanent dentition in children where physical abuse was
Sweden's rural landscape faces significant challenges as contemporary planning practices increasingly favor urban development, leaving villages and small settlements underserved. This thesis investigates how supplementary planning documents can support sustainable rural development in southern Sweden, specifically examining the potential of Village Guides as participatory planning tools. The
Sverige står inför växande behov av investeringar i olika slags infrastruktur samtidigt som många andra utgiftsområden förväntas öka. Offentlig-privat samverkan (OPS) kan vara ett värdefullt komplement till traditionellt utförande eftersom den skapar starkare incitament för effektivitet, livscykeltänkande och innovation. Den här rapporten sammanfattar internationell forskning på området och konsta
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the future observatory for ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Each telescope will provide a snapshot of gamma-ray induced particle showers by capturing the induced Cherenkov emission at ground level. The simulation of such events provides camera images that can be used as training data for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to differenti
Probabilistic models of imposed loads require adjustments to reflect current knowledge and experience. To do so, relevant data about their spatial and temporal variability must be collected. Structural Health Monitoring allows to estimate loads acting on bridges by measuring the relevant strains or deflections. Adapting this approach to buildings is not straightforward due to the increased complex
This chapter presents life cycle assessment (LCA) and its current and potential use as a tool of governance. LCA is considered as providing governance input in three different dimensions: (1) as results; (2) as a method; and (3) as a mindset. Life cycle approaches are increasingly informing policymaking and legislation, either as an abstract idea such as “the circular economy” or as calculation ru
