BACKGROUND: Reports of esophageal anastomotic complications often involve more gastric than colonic reconstructions and are incomplete because of fragmented followup by physicians unfamiliar with the surgical procedure. STUDY DESIGN: Three hundred ninety-three consecutive esophagectomy patients had prevalence and risk factors determined for graft ischemia and anastomotic leak; 363 of these patient
Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka diffusionen av den fjärde industriella revolutionen inom livsmedelsindustrin i södra Sverige. Intresset för begreppet Industri 4.0 har ökat stadigt sedan det infördes av den tyska regeringen 2011. Men diffusionen verkar låg. Om Industri 4.0 är en revolution är införandet av den nya tekniken avgörande för konkurrenskraften. Detta faktum har resulterat i The aim with this thesis is to investigate the diffusion of the fourth industrial revolution in the food manufacturing industry in southern Sweden (FMISS). The interest of the concept Industry 4.0 has increased steadily since the introduction by the German government in 2011. However, the diffusion seems slow. If Industry 4.0 is a revolution, adoption of the new technologies will be crucial for co
Det finns olika teorier kring vem som bevisbördan ska falla på inom tvistemål när det råder oenighet kring huruvida ett visst rättsfaktum ligger för handen. Bevissäkringsteorin är en av dessa. Bevissäkringsteorin innebär att bevisbördan läggs på den som har haft det lättast för att säkra bevisning. Mot bevissäkringsteorin konkurrerar de materiella bevisteorierna. Dessa teorier förespråkar att beviThere are different theories regarding who should carry the burden of proof within civil cases when there is controversy regarding whether or not a certain fact is at hand. The theory of securing evidence is one of these. The theory of securing evidence states that the burden of proof should be placed on whomever has an easier time of securing evidence. The material theories of evidence compete wi
Rainforests are of great importance for biodiversity and several ecosystem services. In Rwanda, a considerable decline in rainforest covers have been observed during the last decades. The Gishwati-Mukura Forest is one of the rainforests in Rwanda that has experienced a substantial reduction in forest cover, 99.4 %. The aim of this research has been to investigate what the changes in forest cover o
Abstract in Undetermined Background: The performance of glaucoma diagnostic systems could be conceivably improved by the integration of functional and structural test measurements that provide relevant and complementary information for reaching a diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of data fusion methods and techniques for simple combination of Standard Automate
The Intermediate Data Structure (IDS) is a standardised database structure for longitudinal historical databases. Such a common structure facilitates data sharing and comparative research. In this study, we propose an extended version of IDS, named IDS-Geo, that also includes geographic data. The geographic data that will be stored in IDS-Geo are primarily buildings and/or property units, and the
Aim: This thesis serves two purposes. First, it informs specialists in global public health to consider a broader spectrum of pediatric disease. Second, it informs specialists in pediatric hospital care of how the feasibility of their clinical practice depends on a functioning health care system. Methods: The papers contextualize pediatric disease entities that so far have received relatively sp
To validate cardiac output measurements by ultrasound dilution technology (COstatus monitor) against those obtained by a transit-time ultrasound technology with a perivascular flow probe and to investigate ultrasound dilution ability to estimate pulmonary to systemic blood flow ratio in children.
Boronate-containing thin polyacrylamide gels (B-Gel), polymer brushes (B-Brush) and chemisorbed organosilane layers (B-COSL) were prepared on the surface of glass slides and studied as substrates for carbohydrate-mediated cell adhesion. B-COSL- and B-Brush-modified glass samples exhibited multiple submicron structures densely and irregularly distributed on the glass surface, as found by scanning e
With the ambitious objectives of the European Green Deal, offshore wind energy is especially an important sector of Europe’s renewable energy strategy. This thesis aims to clarify the intricate legal and regulatory structures governing offshore wind projects, with a particular focus on the permitting process in Denmark and Sweden, and to what extent it is aligned with the Renewable Energy Directiv
Technical assistance to public sector organisations is a much-debated topic and showcases a considerable size in contemporary international development assistance. Yet, the empirical evidence base on which factors contribute to the outcomes of projects within this field is surprisingly slim and diffuse. Particularly, the mechanisms through which different factors affect project outcomes remains un
Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancer forms in women and is a disease in need of improved biomarkers for detection and drug targets alike. Such molecules can be discovered by studying the proteome of the cells. Phosphoproteomic studies have become increasingly more popular as it has a high potential for mapping cell signaling and to find new signaling molecules for drug targeting. Currentl
Inhemsk mikroalg skapar hållbarhet genom kombination av produktion och vattenrening Genom att använda snabbväxande mikroalger i avloppsvatten för produktion av biomassa har vattnet renats och det enda som tillsätts är solljus och koldioxid. Denna metod möjliggör hållbar produktion av en rad produkter, däribland biobränslen, samtidigt som samhällstjänster såsom vatten- och luftrening utförs på köpAbstract A few local microalgae was isolated and cultivated in vertical column with artificial lighting in 12 h light cycles in wastewater at the local wastewater treatment plant. The growth of the algae strains was observed and the fastest growing (Scenedesmus sp.) was subsequently cultivated outdoors under natural sunlight. pH controlled CO2 input resulted in up to twice as high biomass product
With the shift towards renewable energy, the need for effective energy management grows. Renewable sources introduce variability and unpredictability, leading to volatile energy prices that expose consumers to fluctuations. To mitigate costs, energy storage and forecast models for electricity and thermal energy can be used to make optimal decisions on when to purchase energy from the grid. This th

Background: Many people are tempted to start their own business. The personal driving force varies but in most cases it’s all about making money. But it doesn’t always have to be for that reason alone. Maybe you want to take initiatives to changes, separate yourself from the crowd and take risks. Many people also like that they can be their own boss. These driving forces led to our own interests i
The purpose of this study is an understanding of operator work in a production line and its connection and translation into simulation. A mapping of operator work in the production line was performed, after which tasks and were analysed for their relevance for simulation. A model draft was developed in the software FlexSim. The mapping and the derived model provides insight into operator work in t
