Background: Transanal endorectal one-stage pull-through (TERPT) procedure in children with Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) has gained worldwide acceptance. However surgical success is often reported separately, while the necessity for true reoperation is difficult to establish. Aim: To evaluate the incidence of reoperations following TERPT procedure. The findings will be important in counseling and pl
The extent to which in-situ global mechanical tensioning (GMT) can be used to modify the residual stress state in friction stir (FS) welds is investigated in this article. Residual stress distributions have been determined by synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction for four sets of FS welds in high-strength AA7449-W51 and lithium containing AA2199-T8 aerospace aluminum alloys subjected to a syst
Skatteflykt är ett problem för många av världens suveräna stater. Det finns olika metoder för att bemöta problemet, vanligast är att en stat väljer att instifta en lagstiftning med en generalklausul eller att genom praxis utveckla riktlinjer för när en transaktion skall anses vara skatteflykt. I Sverige och Australien har lagstiftarna valt att genom generalklausuler försöka bekämpa skatteflykt. SyTax avoidance is an issue for many of the sovereign states of the world. Different methods are used in different countries to combat tax avoidance, the most common forms of anti-avoidance measure is either using legislation consisting of a general anti-avoidance rule or using case law to develop general guidelines for when a transaction should be considered tax avoidance. In Sweden and Australia t
Purpose: We investigated the distribution of cannabinoid receptor subtypes 1 and 2 in the detrusor of different species and studied the effects of cannabinoid receptor 1 and 2 agonists on bladder function. Materials and Methods: Cannabinoid receptor 1 and 2 expression was studied with Western blot and immunohistochemistry in rat, monkey and human detrusors. Co-staining was done for markers of sens
In a population-based study on cobalamin status and incident fractures in elderly men (n = 790) with an average follow-up of 5.9 years, we found that low levels of metabolically active and total cobalamins predict incident fractures, independently of body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), and cystatin C. Cobalamin deficiency in elderlies may affect bon
Social media has taken a prominent position in our society and is constantly debated in media; warnings are mixed with promises of big opportunities. Young people writing about fashion and every day life make big money, politicians seek online for voters and big companies have found a new way to interact with their customers. Publishing houses and writers are forced to find their place in this new
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Supernovor och andra galaktiska system skickar ut mängder av atomkärnor med nära ljusets hastighet, så kallad kosmisk strålning. Eftersom supernovor framförallt finns i spiralarmarna i vår galax och jorden över långa tidsperioder rör sig relativt spiralarmarna så har det föreslagits att kosmisk strålning inte varit konstant under jordens historia. Vidare har visIt has been suggested that the cosmic ray flux varies as Earth moves relative to the spiral arms in the galaxy. However, no satisfying record over the cosmic ray flux over long time scales has been presented. This work aims to investigate the possibility to use cosmic ray tracks in silicate mineral inclusions in sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial chromite (SEC) grains as such a record. Chromite i
The Silurian strata of Gotland yield a wide variety of polychaete jaws. The investigated polychaetes include the family Polychaetaspidae with the two genera Polychaetaspis and Kozlowskiprion, and the monotypic family Ramphoprionidae with the genus Ramphoprion. The fauna derives from the sections at Lusklint and Lickershamn 2 which comprise the three stratigraphically oldest units on Gotland: the L
En ordning av naturen given. Den svenska arvsrätten synes nästintill opåverkad av tidens gång. Successionsrättens rötter sträcker sig långt bak i historien. Samhället har genom åren genomgått omfattande förändringar och anpassat sig till nya rådande samhällsstrukturer. Den arvsrättsliga regleringen har däremot förblivit i stort sett oförändrad. Sedan 1300-talet har det enbart funnits fyra versioneAn order given by nature. The Swedish inheritance law appears almost unaffected by the passing of time. The roots of the Swedish succession law extends far back in history. Swedish society has gone through extensive changes over the years in order to adjust to the prevailing social structures, however, the succession regulation seems to have remained almost the same. There has, in fact, only been
När nazistiska Nordiska motståndsrörelsen demonstrerade i Göteborg 30 september 2017 skapade det livlig debatt i media om rasistiska partiers rättigheter. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att vidga perspektivet på diskussionen i Sverige genom att undersöka hur stater kan bekämpa rasistiska partier utifrån idén om militant demokrati. Uppsatsen redogör för konceptet militant demokrati och undersöker On the 30th of September 2017 the Swedish Nazi party Nordiska motståndsrörelsen had a permit to demonstrate in the streets of Gothenburg. This was followed by a heated debate in the media on the rights of these kind of parties. The purpose of this essay is to add a wider perspective on the discussion in Sweden by examining how states can combat racist parties on the basis of militant democracy. Th
The return of cultural property (also known as repatriation or restitution) is a process that is increasing at Swedish museums in the 21st century. Many objects have been returned to their country of origin and their individual journey have been well researched. However, research focusing on institutional changes at the museums, from which the objects have been returned, has not been given the sam
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Skåne skiljer sig i många avseenden från övriga landet och variationerna i landskapets topografi och geologi är stora. Skåne rymmer därför många olika naturtyper. Tryck- och tänjningsrörelser i berggrunden har resulterat i de stora horstarna (”åsarna”), som genom förkastningsrörelser höjts över omgivande berggrund och bildar stora, långsträckta ryggar i landskapeThe Colonus Shale Trough (CST) is an important tectonic entity in the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone (STZ) in Skåne, southernmost Sweden. The fill comprises a Cambrian through Silurian succession dominated by fine-grained clastic sediments and subordinate limestone. Three deep wells were drilled in 2009–2010 by Shell in order to investigate the possibilities of extracting shale gas from the Cambrian-Or
The purpose of this work has been to perform numerical calculations on the cubical mixing tank the QB mixer, to be able to verify its strength and try to improve it. The QB mixer is produced by the company QB FoodTech AB. Firstly a CAD model was made from drawings of the mixer. Then the structure was analysed in aspects of pressure load, thermal loads and gravitational load. A modal analysis to ge
Investigating the matter of urban sustainability, previous research within the field argues that the social dimension of sustainability has been deprioritized, one potential reason being that it is less tangible then the economic and ecological dimension. Furthermore, citizen participation and inclusiveness is identified as central to the social dimension on an international as well as Swedish nat
Mikroskopiska echinodermfossil har undersökts ur prover från täljstensintervallet och intillig-gande delar av ’lanna’- och ’holenkalkstenen’ i Hällekis stenbrott, Västergötland. Den undersökta sektionen är från översta volkhov och mellersta kunda, darriwilian (mellanordovicium). Tidigare studier har konkluderat att en regression/transgression skedde under den undersökta perioden, vilket bekräftas Microscopic echinoderms were studied in acid-insoluble residues from the Lanna and Holen limestones at Hällekis, Västergötland, Sweden. The section studied spans the uppermost Volkhov and lower–middle Kunda Baltoscandian stages, within the Darriwillian global Stage (Middle Ordovician). The echinoderms show an increase in abundance, accompanying falling sea levels during the well-recognized regress
In recent years, discussions regarding problematic school absenteeism have increased in research and media. The Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) observed an increase in both valid and invalid absences among students attending compulsory school in 2023, compared to previous years. Using Michael Lipsky's theory of street-level bureaucrats, which encompasses alienation, discreti
The purpose of this study is to quantitatively investigate the moderating effect of consumers' need for uniqueness (NFU) in the relationship between perceived brand stereotypes, brand emotions, and perceived customer value. The study follows a quantitative research method with a sample-survey research design, where hypotheses have been developed supported by a theoretical framework. Data was c
