Introduction: Gender affirming surgery of primary and/or secondary sex characteristics has been shown to alleviate gender dysphoria. A descriptive snapshot of current treatment preferences is useful to understand the needs of the transgender population seeking health care. This study aimed to describe preferences for gender affirming treatment, and their correlates, among individuals seeking healt
There is currently interest in low strain HPHT diamond due to its expected application as various types of X-ray optical elements at Synchrotrons, where the X-ray intensity is becoming progressively too severe for the existing materials. The diamond crystals need to be synthesised with unprecedented lattice quality. In recent measurements at the ID19 beamline of European Synchrotron Radiation Faci
Water and salt mass balances for the Dead Sea were modeled. Precipitation, evaporation, river discharges, ground water flows, input/output from potash companies and salt production, and brine discharge were included in the models. The mixing time in the Dead Sea was modeled using a single-layer (well-mixed) atwo-layer (stratified) system.Using the single-layer approach the water level was predicte
Vi vill med den här artikeln peka på att Sveriges städer har flera utmaningar kring styrning och hantering av vatten, samt föreslår sju principer för lösningar. Klimatförändringarna och den urbana tillväxten gör att åtgärder behövs nu för att hantera både vattenbrist och översvämning på ett integrerat sätt. Här fokuserar vi på kommunnivå och urbana områden, där vi argumenterar för att det behövs eWe argue in this paper that Swedish urban areas have several urgent challenges when it comes to water governance and we propose seven principles for addressing them. Climate change and urban growth call for swift action to manage both water scarcity and flooding in an integrated way. This paper focuses on the municipal level for which we argue that there is a need for a more systematic approach. T
Background: It is recommended that patch-test readings include a day (D)7 reading. Substitution of the D7 reading with a photo may be a valid option. Objectives: To compare the sensitivity of digital photos at D7 to clinical readings, to assess the number of positive reactions appearing at D7 only (late reactions), and after D7 only (delayed reactions). Methods: Patients patch tested in six Europe
Electric road systems (ERS) are technologies that allow to charge electric vehicles (EVs) while they are driving. This makes it possible to reduce the installed battery capacity and therefore the weight and cost of the vehicle. However, while the vehicle is charging from the ERS a protective earth connection cannot be ensured, which introduces new isolation challenges in the design of the electric
AbstractOrganizational routines that are critical to learning, flexibility, and adaptation explain the behavior of the business organization. When organizational routines cross the boundary of the organization, variability and stability are affected. This study emphasizes organizational routines committed in specific outsourcing or insourcing situations to clarify the dynamics of organizational roOrganizational routines that are critical to learning, flexibility, and adaptation explain the behaviour of the business organization.

The utility of mRNA and protein determinations of G protein-coupled receptor 35, that is, GPR35a (GPR35 V1) and GPR35b (GPR35 V2/3), as indicators of outcome for colon cancer patients after curative surgery was investigated. Expression levels of V1 and V2/3 GPR35, carcinoembryonic antigen and CXCL17 mRNAs were assessed in primary tumours and regional lymph nodes of 121 colon cancer patients (stage
The attractiveness of cycling-and in particular of bike-sharing systems-as a sustainable alternative of transportation is constantly growing, given the undeniable benefits associated with it. The aim of this paper is to present a multi-objective model based on a Fuzzy Inference System to be embedded in a mobile application that could assist cyclists in the selection of the smartest route to follow
This paper presents work done within the EU project STARR. Within the framework of the project technologies to empower and support stroke survivors are developed. We report on the iterative development of an outdoor activity game for stroke survivors, and discuss design choices, experiences from the initial testing and outline potential future developments.
Currently, no ideal prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostic or prognostic test is available due to the lack of biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity. There is an unmet medical need to develop combinations of multiple biomarkers which may have higher accuracy in detection of PCa and stratification of aggressive and indolent cancer patients. The aim of this study was to test two biomarker gene p
Den europeiska unionen tampas med låg folklig legitimitet, och hävdar många politiska bedömare, ett demokratiskt underskott. I det förhandenvarande arbetet, som är av normativ karaktär, tar sig författaren an detta ämne utifrån ett deltagardemokratiskt perspektiv, vilket han polemiserar mot ett elitdemokratiskt. Dessa demokratimodellers relationer till republikanismen och liberalismen redogörs där
Med jämna mellanrum uppmärksammas i media att bevisning och frågor angående sexualbrottsoffers person tillåts under rättegången. Särskilt uppmärksammade och ifrågasatta är omständigheter som offrets karaktär, klädsel och sexuella erfarenheter som åberopas av försvaret för att svartmåla och skuldbelägga offret själv för övergreppet. Personer som blivit utsatta för sexuella övergrepp riskerar i sådaEvery so often it is noted in the media that character evidence and questions regarding sexual assault victims are admitted in court. The media paints the picture of trials in which the defence use circumstances such as the victim’s clothing, sexual history and character to blacken and blame the victim. This thesis examines the admissibility of such evidence under Swedish law. Through a questionn
Forskning visar att tidiga insatser samt goda läsvanor från hemmet är av avgörande betydelse för barns läs- och skrivutveckling. I Sverige finns idag ingen tradition av att föräldrar tränar med strukturerade material hemma tillsammans med sina barn, utöver den vanliga läxläsningen. Det finns heller inte något material att tillgå för de föräldrar som är intresserade av att engagera sig på ett sådan
In the 1990’s, the legislative power witnessed an increased pace in the work environment, and consequently also an enhanced risk for occupational injuries. Moreover, further specialization had resulted in a lack of knowledge concerning the risks that the workers were exposed to in the workplace. With the intent of increasing the safety for workers in their occupations, violations of the Work Envir
Due to the lack of a commonly required education amongst street-level bureaucrats in supported housing, the focus of this study was to analyse how the street-level bureaucrats in supported housing experienced their work and education. We were also interested in how they felt their knowledge and skills were utilized in their organizations. In the last decade, the number of supported housing efforts
