Introduction: The rate of vaginal hysterectomies is declining globally. We investigated surgical techniques, outcomes, and costs in a large national cohort of benign hysterectomies with prerequisites for vaginal surgery. Material and Methods: A retrospective register-based cohort study with benign hysterectomies in the Swedish GynOp registry 2014–2023 (n = 17 804). Inclusion criteria were non-prol

The study examines the narratives of the Decembrist revolt created in and around Russian state-funded cinema. By exploring the narratives surrounding a particular instance of political dissent in the past, the research seeks to uncover the factors that impact on the negotiation of cultural memory between the text and the audience in the context of state-influenced media. This exploration is based

A growing body of correlational studies suggests that sex hormones such as those contained in, or affected by, oral contraceptives (OCs) may impact economic behavior. However, despite widespread use of OCs among women in Western countries, little is known about their potential behavioral effects. The present study investigates whether OCs causally influence economic preferences. We randomly alloca

The use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)containing aqueous film forming foams (AFFF)at fire training facilities can have an adverse impact on the surrounding environment. The aim of the present study was to study the distribution and temporal trend of 26 PFAS in water and sediment cores for a lake and a pond affected by AFFF release from a fire training facility in Luleå, northern Sw

Title: Along one and the same road - a study of the people behind some hand written song books from around the turn of the 19th century. It is based on some hand written songbooks found in homes along the small byroad in Kruse, Alva, Gotland. My own connection to the place is that I was born in one of these houses.

Surrogacy is prohibited in Sweden but it is still possible for a swedish couple to recive the service in a foreign country, such as India. Surrogacy is a inflected question and the opinions are varied. The purpose is to analyze in what way the writers uses the language to express their opinion and to problematize t

About 15-20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. The phenomenon is common throughout the population, but bereaved women and couples struggle nonetheless. Lang et al. (2011) have shown that a miscarriage can cause shock, grief and pain and lead women into questioning their reproductive abilities. Hiefner (2012) has argued that pregnancy loss is surrounded by a norm of silence, making it difficul

Sedan befolkningsökningen under 1800–1900 talet har en stor areal av de svenska våtmarkerna torrlagts i syfte att öka jordbruksarealerna och matproduktionen. Våtmarkerna av intresse för denna studie innehåller en stor andel organiskt material i form av torv och gyttja och benämns som organogena jordar. Sverige är ett av världens mest torvtäta länder och Skåne län erhåller en stor andel av dessa maSince a large growth in population occurred during the 1800-1900 centuries in Sweden, an expansion of agricultural land became a necessity. The government provided farmers with an allowance to exploit wetlands. A large portion of wetlands has since then been lost and used for cultivation, in particular peat lands. The drainage of peat lands results in a loss in biodiversity, poorer water condition

A circular economy is one of the biggest challenges Sweden has to address in order to fulfill the goals set by FN in Agenda 2030. In order to make progress the Swedish government assigned an investigation in 2017. The investigation presented a few suggestions to how Sweden could obtain a more circular economy. One of the suggestions presented by the investigation was called hyberreduction. The nam

Free movement of goods is regulated by Article 28 of The EC Treaty. The most important judgments of European Court of Justice (ECJ) in this field are Dassonville, Cassis de Dijon and Keck. The interpretation of Article 28 was very broad in Dassonville and Cassis cases therefore the national rules which were designed for social policy reasons, but not for controlling the trade between Member States

The Treaty provisions regulating the free movement of goods are articles 28 to 31 EEC (former articles 30 to 36). Article 28 prohibits Member States from discriminating, that is, favouring or in any other way putting its domestic products at an advantage against imported products unless the Member State can find just cause under article 30 (former article 36) for its practices. For a national meas

Research aim and questions: The aim of this research is to investigate the way Radio Free Europe’s Romanian Language Service presented the events of December 1989 in Romania. Since Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty was one of the most important international broadcasting institutions during the Cold War, it is relevant to see what kind of interpretation was assigned to Romania’s 1989 political and

I dagens samhälle präglas vår samtid av nyheter om krigsdrabbade områden och naturkatastrofer, vilket är två orsaker till att migrationen runt om i världen ökar. Människor förlorar sina hem och vissa är på ständig flykt. Detta är ett fruktansvärt öde som också bidrar till spridningen av sjukdomar som tidigare varit begränsade till vissa kontinenter. Chagas sjukdom, även känd som amerikansk trypaChagas disease, also known as American Trypanosomiasis, is a parasitic infection caused by the triatomine bugs, commonly referred to as kissing bugs. It is the deadliest parasitic disease in South America but has spread beyond this region due to migration and climate change. Approximately 70 million people are at risk of infection, and there is no cure for the chronic phase of the disease. In prev

This study featured about the synthesis of graphene oxide hydrogel-CuO@reduced graphene oxide (rGH-CuO@rGO) micromotors with core-shell structure via an ultrasonication-assisted chemical precipitation method and their application for catalytic dye degradation. The micromotors were comprehensively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron mi
