Objective: Abdominal aortic graft and endograft infections (AGIs) are rare complications following aortic surgery. Radical surgery (RS) with resection of the infected graft and reconstruction with extra-anatomical bypass or in situ reconstruction is the preferred therapy. For patients unfit for RS, a semi-conservative (SC), graft preserving strategy is possible. This paper aimed to compare surviva

Enkelt uttryckt är Samverkansinlärning (SI) en studiecirkel kopplat till en utmanande kurs. SI leds av en senior student som utformar läraktiviteter där studenterna arbetar i grupper med att förklara och förtydliga svårt kursmaterial. Målsättningen med SI, förutom förbättrade prestationer i den aktuella kursen, är att studenterna skall utveckla goda studiestrategier och bli mer självständiga i sit

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are surface-active redox enzymes that catalyze the degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides, making them important tools for energy production from renewable sources. In addition, LPMOs are important virulence factors for fungi, bacteria, and viruses. However, many knowledge gaps still exist regarding their catalytic mechanism and interaction with the

Deaf and hard of hearing children with cochlear implants (CI) often display impaired spoken language skills. While a large number of studies investigated brain responses to sounds in this population, relatively few focused on semantic processing. Here we summarize and discuss findings in four studies of the N400, a cortical response that reflects semantic processing, in children with CI. A study w

Despite growing interest in fungal necromass decomposition due to its importance in soil carbon retention, whether a consistent group of microorganisms is associated with decomposing necromass remains unresolved. Here, we synthesize knowledge on the composition of the bacterial and fungal communities present on decomposing fungal necromass from a variety of fungal species, geographic locations, ha

The transport sector is currently undergoing rapid development, which is to a large extent driven by innovation and technological changes initiated by various market actors. At the same time, public transport operations are largely framed by extensive procurement processes and a mature market where a few large companies compete for market share. In Europe, there is tension between rapid innovative

The Swedish electric vehicle fleet is rapidly growing, creating a need to include their charging demand in future grid planning. Charging stations are often placed based on the needs of the transport system, and the grid connection is considered at a later stage with long lead times. This study proposes selecting charging locations based on grid capacity. Doing this by probabilistic load flow requ

OBJECTIVES: Evidence on dietary effects on gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in healthy children is lacking. Despite this, dietary advice is still common practice in the treatment of children's GI symptoms. The aim was to investigate self-reported dietary effects on GI symptoms in healthy children. METHODS: In this observational cross-sectional study on children, a validated self-reporting questionna

Recently, the PHENIX Collaboration has published second- and third-harmonic Fourier coefficients v2 and v3 for midrapidity (|η|

The measurement of direct photons from Au+Au collisions at sNN=39 and 62.4 GeV in the transverse-momentum range 0.4

Increasing renewable integration is posing new challenges to reliability of power networks. One of these challenges is to restart the power network and energize power transformers in the event of a blackout. Grid forming converters can provide a potential solution to this issue because they can be controlled as independent, self starting, voltage sources. This study analyzes and compares four grid

High-pressure homogenizers are widely used in industrial processes to produce emulsions with small droplet sizes. During the process, cavitation occurs under industrial process conditions. In order to investigate the flow conditions inside a homogenizer geometry, CFD simulations are commonly used, since it is not possible to evaluate local flow conditions experimentally. However, these studies hav

Organisational structures in the transport sector are often complex and fragmented, with different authorities responsible for different stages of a traveller’s journey. In such circumstances, collaboration across organisationalboundaries is required to facilitate intermodal journeys. This paper aims to provide empirically grounded insights into collaboration in transport planning, extending the l

Varmhyran dominerar i Sverige – men varför? I nästan alla svenska lägenheter ingår uppvärmningskostnaden som en fast del av hyran enligt en modell som ofta kallas för varmhyra. Det sägs ofta att vi i Sverige har en lång tradition av varmhyra – vilket stämmer – och att det är ett system som fungerar väl. Men i ett internationellt perspektiv är varmhyra ovanligt. Inom EU är det främst Sverige och Fi

PAM50 gene expression subtypes represent a cornerstone in the molecular classification of breast cancer and are included in risk prediction models to guide therapy. We aimed to illustrate the impact of included genes and biological processes on subtyping while considering a tumor’s underlying clinical subgroup defined by ER, PR, and HER2 status. To do this we used a population-representative and c

This thesis concerns oaths, curses, and prayers in Roman comedy, more precisely the comedies by the playwriter Terence (185/84 - 159 BC). So-called informal/interjectional oaths and prayers constitute the main focus of this investigation, however, asseverations, formal oaths, formal prayers, and curses are included as well. In this study, carried out by utilizing the methodological frameworks herm

Pedagogies of the common/sThis exhibition brings together artworks, practices and archives as it seeks to explore the possible pedagogies of the social. Through transformative instances of togetherness, stubborn gestures of resistance, poetic and political interventions in the current destructive terrains it attempts to function as a critical public experiment.
