Background and purpose: Motion compensation with MLC tracking was tested for inversely optimized arc radiotherapy with special attention to the impact of the size of the target displacements and the angle of the leaf trajectory. Materials and methods: An MLC-tracking algorithm was used to adjust the MLC positions according to the target movements using information from an optical real-time positio
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is common with a global prevalence of 4%. Dietary regimes with a low content of fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyol (FODMAP) or a starch- and sucrose-reduced diet (SSRD) have proven to be efficient. The aim of the present study was to describe the recruitment process for a randomized dietary trial with low FODMAP or SSRD for 4 weeks wi
The Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies was created in 1997 as the result of a special government initiative. The Centre's task is the encouragement and furtherance of research in Sweden concerning modern East and South-East Asia, including the rapidly changing societies, developing economies and political institutions in the region. Building upon existing strengths at Lund University in
Idag utförs en betydande del av den ledande humanistiska och teologiska forskningen i vetenskapliga miljöer vid sidan om traditionella ämnesdisciplinära och organisatoriska indelningar. HT-fakulteterna har därför infört en satsning på forskningsplattformar för att sådana gränsöverskridande forskningsmiljöer ska ges förutsättningar att bygga upp och utveckla långsiktiga interdisciplinära samarbetenToday a large amount of research within the humanities and theology is conducted in academic environments outside of traditional disciplinary and organisational units. The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology are promoting the establishing and development of long-term interdisciplinary collaborations by giving monetary support to five research platforms chosen by an external expert jury.
Syftet med Dublinförordningen är att se till att asylansökningar behandlas av endast en medlemsstat, för att undvika fenomenen “asylsum shopping” och “refugees in orbit”. Förordningen består av en hierarki av kriterier för att fastställa vilken stat som är ansvarig, men detta har också lett till principen om ömsesidigt förtroende mellan medlemsstaterna, där alla stater förutsätts ha samma nivå av The purpose of the Dublin Regulation is to ensure that applications for asylum will be considered by one Member State, avoiding the phenomena of “asylum shopping” and “refugees in orbit”. The Regulation consists of a hierarchy of criteria for determining the responsible state, however, this has also resulted in the principle of Mutual Trust between Member States, where all states are presumed to h
The mission of the group is to contribute with high-quality research on fundamental issues related to grand societal challenges of globalisation and climate change, such as renewable energy transitions, institutional developments for a global carbon price, and Swedish innovations for sustainability.
The ideas and interests of how to move forward with the new religion and its new caliphate during the first century of Islam, were often varied and were in conflict. In the year 77 A.H (696-697 C.E.), the first Islamic Dinar was minted as a part of a wider state reform. Its abstract art and focus on language and religion symbolized the start of a new state identity that influenced a later systemat
OBJECTIVES: A combination of surgical and medical approaches may address both the underlying pathophysiological processes and the most threatening symptoms in twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). CASE: A primigravida with monochorionic twin pregnancy was referred with signs of TTTS at 16 weeks. One twin was severely hydropic with normal amniotic fluid, the co-twin had anhydramnios. Laser treatme
Resuscitation with pure oxygen at birth after fetal asphyxia may aggravate brain damage by inducing pro-inflammation. The toll-like receptors (TLRs) may serve a pro-inflammatory role in hyperoxemia during ischemia-reperfusion. Sixteen near-term fetal sheep (132-136 d) were subjected to 10 min of cord occlusion, delivery and mechanical ventilation with 100% O-2 (n = 8), or 21% O-2 (n = 8) for 30 mi
Objectives: Long term outcomes following fertility sparing robot-assisted radical trachelectomy (RRT). Methods: A retrospective study of consecutive women selected for RRT between 2007 and 2019 at five referral centres. Generally used selection criteria for fertility-sparing surgery were applied. Oncologic, reproductive and long-term clinical data were analysed. Results: Of the 166 included women,
Enheten för psykosocial suicidforskning studerar suicidalitet utifrån ett integrerat samhälleligt, psykologiskt och epidemiologiskt perspektiv. Forskningen syftar till att fördjupa förståelsen av de komplexa och föränderliga processer som leder till och påverkar suicidalt beteende, genom att analysera samspelet mellan individuella livsvillkor, sociala relationer och strukturella faktorer. Vi kombiThe Unit for Psychosocial Suicide Research investigates suicidality through an integrated sociological, psychological, and epidemiological lens. Our research aims to advance theoretical and empirical understanding of the complex and dynamic processes that give rise to and shape suicidal behaviour, by analysing the interplay between individual life circumstances, social relationships, and structura
This is for her is a performance about torture and therapy. On stage are two women. A victim and a perpetrator. A patient and a therapist. Torture and therapy always involve two people. Torture is about destroying the trust in other people. It only takes a moment, but it takes a lifetime to get back to everyday life again.
Popular Abstract in English Since the onset of the 20th century, human society has been using non-renewable resources, mainly oil, for the production of fuels and chemicals that are now an integral part of our everyday life. In the last few decades however, concerns regarding environmental effects, geopolitical issues and the eventual depletion of oil have led to us re-evaluating our dependency onConcerns regarding environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and climate change have led to a shift within the research community and chemical and energy industry sectors for finding sustainable routes for producing fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, thereby minimizing our dependence on petroleum. The C3-chemical 3-hydroxypropionic acid has been identifed as a top candidate
Aims/hypothesis Some studies have revealed a relationship between Caesarean section (CS) and type 1 diabetes, while other studies have not. By using the Swedish paediatric quality register we investigated whether birth by CS is related to the risk of developing type 1 diabetes during childhood. Methods All children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes from 2000 to 2012 and included in the register (n= 9
