Background Following surgical repair of aortic coarctation (CoA) there is a risk for restenosis (reCoA), particularly in the first year of life. It was the aim of this study to identify reCoA risk factors by analyzing postoperative pre-discharge echocardiograms. Methods Retrospective analysis of echocardiograms of children born operated for CoA in Sweden 2011-2017. Results 253 children were includ
Background: Invasive infections with non-beta-haemolytic streptococci (NBHS) is quite common and presents the clinicians with difficulties regarding which patients are at risk for infective endocarditis (IE). The HANDOC score was developed to identify patients with NBHS bacteraemia who are at low risk of IE. This study was conducted to validate HANDOC in an external cohort. Methods: Patients with
Background:Several previous studies have analyzed patient experiences of long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAIB) in treating opioid use disorder (OUD). This treatment approach reduces the need for daily supervised clinic visits, but also fundamentally changes the dynamic of the relationship between patients and staff. The perspective of staff working with opioid agonist treatment (OAT) on LAIB
Aims: Grading of diastolic function can be useful, but indeterminate classifications are common. We aimed to invasively derive and validate a quantitative echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) and to compare its prognostic performance to diastolic dysfunction grading.Methods and results: Echocardiographic measures were used to derive an estimated PAWP (ePAWP) usingAims: Grading of diastolic function can be useful, but indeterminate classifications are common.

Background:The need for complete staging surgery including hysterectomy for all age patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) is debatable, considering fertility in younger patients and potential higher morbidity in older patients. We aimed to investigate the relapse risk and overall survival in a cohort including patients who underwent conservative surgery (organ-preserving procedures) to min
To study adhesion in flexible laminates, standardised peel tests are commonly used where macroscopic measurements, e.g. peel force versus peel arm displacement, are extracted. However, insights into the adhesion mechanisms at the microscopic scale are limited. This study has developed a framework for determining peel arm geometry parameter evolution and deformation in packaging material laminates.
Over the last decades, a body of feminist research (Angkjær Jørgensen & Åsebø 2020-2025, Freeman 2010, Halberstam 2022, Hemmings 2011, Tesfagiorgis 1993) has problematized established stories that chronicle the development of Western feminist movements’ recent past. Drawing from this strain of previous research, this paper is particularly influenced by a number of scholarly works that analyse Over the last decades, a body of feminist research (Angkjær Jørgensen & Åsebø 2020-2025, Freeman 2010, Halberstam 2022, Hemmings 2011, Tesfagiorgis 1993) has problematized established stories that chronicle the development of Western feminist movements’ recent past.

On New Year's Eve 1947, the Danish Catholic priest Peter Schindler moved into the German Priests’ College at the Campo Santo Teutonico, the idyllic German cemetery in the Vatican. He remained there for twenty years, returning to Denmark only in 1964. By then, he was in poor health and passed away three years later. In his memoirs, he states that he had been sent to Rome by the Apostolic Vicar of D
Cases of successful developmental states constrained by democratic institutions pose challenges to the literature on the political economy of late development. On the one hand, the dominant view is that successful developmental states tend to rely on authority-based coordination mechanisms—corporatist arrangements, labor repression, professional bureaucracies insulated from popular pressures—to soCases of successful developmental states constrained by democratic institutions pose challenges to the literature on the political economy of late development.

Interest in human heredity has a long history in Sweden. In the 1920s the Parliament decided on a State institute for race biology and in the 1930s a sterilization legislation that put eugenics into practice was enacted. During the postwar decades both research and the political-medical practices were successively transformed: medical genetics became established and proclaimed as a new research fiInterest in human heredity has a long history in Sweden.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas formed during biological wastewater treatment under aerobic and anoxic conditions. Two reasons for high N2O emissions are low oxygen concentration during nitrification and low carbon/nitrogen-ratio during denitrification. In this full-scale study of N2O emissions from a sequencing batch reactor for treating digester supernatant, the oxygen concentration was
How far back in time can we trace fire use in the human story? The archaeological data has demonstrated inconsistency when it comes to answering that question. Incontrovertible remains after hearths are scarce especially before 100,000 years BP. One of the reasons are that remains after temporary hearths doesn’t preserve well in the archaeological record in comparison with for example, stone tools
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the possibility of application of the cluster based rural development approach in Armenia to promote its structural transformation. Case study was selected as a research methodology, and both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. Analysis of the key findings from the ‘field’, i.e. - the potential cluster, shows that rural households pract
Ultrashort laser pulses play an important role in many applications in science and technology, from attosecond science to time resolved spectroscopy and material processing. For applications of ultrashort laser pulses, it requires a complete characterization of the electric field of the pulse, which includes both phase and amplitude of the electric field. The characterization of ultrashort laser pThe human eye can clearly observe movements as fast as around 0.1 seconds long, but how can we observe the movement that is way too fast for the human eye? For example, you can barely read any labels from a really fast moving formula 1 car. However, if we use a camera which can act faster than the human eye, we can capture the images of the moving object. When a camera takes a picture, it records
In China, after implementing the family planning policy in 1979, a huge group of women with unapproved birth were formed. However, the academic research on them are very limited. For women with unapproved birth, sacrificed the most under this “magical” that eliminated hundreds of millions of people in China, but their reproductive practices and experiences are being neglected and ignored.

The development of cognitive robots in ROS still lacks the support of some key components: a knowledge integration framework and a framework for autonomous mission execution. In this research chapter, we will discuss our skill-based platform SkiROS, that was developed on top of ROS in order to organize robot knowledge and its behavior. We will show how SkiROS offers the possibility to integrate diThe development of cognitive robots in ROS still lacks the support of some key components: a knowledge integration framework and a framework for autonomous mission execution.

Ocean acidification, warmer temperatures, and the expansion of hypoxic zones in coastal areas are direct consequences of the increase in anthropogenic activities. However, so far, the combined effects of these stressors on calcium carbonate-secreting marine microorganisms - foraminifera are complex and poorly understood. This study reports the foraminiferal survival behavior, and geochemical tr
