Objective: The primary aim of this study was to develop and internally validate ultrasound-based radiomics models to discriminate between all types of benign and malignant adnexal masses. The secondary aim was to compare the performance of the radiomics models with that of the Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa (ADNEX) model. Methods: This was a retrospective, observational, single-c
AbstractIntroductionWork environments are rapidly changing in Europe, with climate change, the transition to the circular economy, and expansion of work in green jobs among key factors. Research and interventions are urgently needed to promote worker health and well-being. The European Union (EU) INTERCAMBIO project is the first large-scale initiative to systematically assess mental and physical h
Background: Hypertension and smoking are well-known risk factors for aortic dissection (AD), but it is unclear whether other lifestyle factors influence the risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between diet quality, physical activity, and risk of AD. Methods: The study included 28,094 participants from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, recruited between 1991 and 1996 and f
Background: Local networks have been recognized for their potential to govern collaborative action toward a low-carbon future in urban areas, yet there is a need to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of such governance structures. In this paper we assess the Local Roadmap for a Climate Neutral Building & Construction Industry in Malmö 2030 (LFM30) network which was initiated in 2018
This article examines Karl Ove Knausgård’s novel Morgenstjernen (2020, The Morning Star) as a series of interconnected pre-apocalyptic narratives. Using the framework of econarratology alongside the concept of ‘hyperobjects’ and terminology that points to the interconnectedness of all systems, I explore how the narratives we are able to tell in a changing world affect both ourselves and our relati
The purpose of this chapter is to explore the relationship between peace processes, gender equality, and communication by introducing feminist and intersectional approaches as tools to assess and deconstruct underlying power structures. The author argues for a human rights-based approach to gender equality and a deconstruction of essentialist understandings of “women, " calling for a perspective o
Telemedicine as a means of remote patient–physician interaction is gaining popularity in nearly every field, and (respiratory) sleep medicine is no exception. Because obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a chronic condition, and requires a continuous treatment and monitoring of therapy success, telematic communications could be useful to establish diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This statement
I kyrkböcker, skattelängder och gamla dokument av olika slag nämns Dannäs by. I denna mikrohistoriska studie kartläggs var den försvunna byn låg och vilka gårdar som fanns i den. Dessutom förklaras det hur det gick till när byn försvann och hur denna process hänger samman med större samhälleliga förändringar som rör jordbrukets mekanisering och framväxten av ett jordlöst proletariat på landsbygden
As firms increasingly operate in markets characterised by competition, uncertainty, regulations, and shifting consumer demands, understanding how business models (BMs) are reconfigured has become increasingly important. Against this background, the study aims to increase the understanding of how regulations and consumers, as exogenous forces, influence the reconfiguration of business model compone
Detta projekt undersöker hur förståelsen av företagshuvudkontoret som en arkitektonisk typologi kan lägga grunden för dess omvandling till en ny urban funktion. Projektet utvecklas som en fallstudie av Ericssons tidigare huvudkontor i Kista, ett stort kontorskomplex som för närvarande står tomt under en period med höga vakansgrader i ett område som genomgår förändring. I takt med att denna del av
The decarbonisation of long-haul freight transport has increased interest in fuel-cell heavy-duty vehicles, while simultaneously placing greater emphasis on reliable and comparable energy consumption assessment methods. Within the European regulatory framework, the VECTO simulation tool is used to evaluate energy consumption and emissions of heavy-duty vehicles. However, its level of abstraction a
This study examines whether gold and Bitcoin improve mean-variance portfolio performance relative to a traditional stock-bond benchmark, and whether their contributions differ across negative and positive stock-bond correlation regimes. Using monthly U.S. data from December 2014 to December 2025, the analysis applied a rolling estimation framework, mean-variance optimization, Sharpe ratio tests, a
This thesis examines whether host-country geopolitical risk leads foreign subsidiaries of multinational enterprises (MNEs) to hold higher levels of cash. While the precautionary motive predicts that firms accumulate liquid reserves when uncertainty rises, the MNE setting introduces a competing force: parents can reallocate liquidity across affiliates through internal capital markets, and agency co
This project examines whether a Taylor-based risk-factor mapping framework can accurately and efficiently estimate Value at Risk for option-heavy portfolios without the high computational cost of full revaluation. The method maps changes in portfolio value to a selected set of market risk factors, including equity spot returns, foreign exchange rates, interest-rate curves, and principal components
This thesis explores how growing political debates and pushback affect how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies are understood and carried out within two Nordic banks, in Sweden and Denmark. Even though the region has a strong international reputation for equality, which often turns into a “myth of completed equality” that creates complacency and “gender fatigue”, DEI initiatives still
Self-leadership is becoming increasingly important in organisations characterized by knowledge intensive work and boundaryless work. The aim with this study was to investigate the following research questions: a.What types of strategies of self-leadership are used by the co-workers? b. What aspects influence co-workers´ adoption of self-leadership strategies? c. How are the self- leadership strate
Studien undersöker hur arbetssökande resonerar kring ansvar för arbetslöshet, ansvarsfördelningen mellan individ och stat samt sina egna möjligheter och hinder på arbetsmarknaden. Studien bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem personer och analyseras med hjälp av teorier om individualisering, strukturering och stigma. Resultatet visar att respondenterna upplever ett stort individuellt ansv
As global steel demand continues to rise, the steel industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its energy consumption. Conventional cooling is inefficient, and novel technologies have the potential to improve these processes. One promising approach is the use of pulsating flow to enhance heat transfer during cooling of hot steel plates. In this thesis Infrasonik’s infrasound cooling solution is
