Robot-assisted radical cystoprostatectomy in a small child with rhabdomyosarcoma: a case report

Abstract We report the first case of a robot-assisted radical cystoprostatectomy in a 22-month-old boy with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in his urinary bladder. Treatment according to international protocol CWS-2002 P (Cooperative Weichteilsarkom Studie) was given prior to surgery. The da Vinci S Surgical System from Intuitive Surgical (Sunnyvale, CA, USA) was used to laparoscopically remove the uri

The Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy in Europe

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the emerging Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) in Europe. The first objective is to explore different perspectives and understanding of the bio-economy and its key components. This provides the foundations for the second objective, which is to critically discuss the bio-economy in terms of positive and negative impacts as well as dr

Entrepreneurs’ attitudes towards failure – an experiential learning approach

In this paper we employ theories of experiential learning to examine why some entrepreneurs have developed a more positive attitude towards failures compared to others. The empirical findings support our guiding proposition that more favourable attitudes towards failing can be learned through entrepreneurs’ life and work. Our results suggest that previous start up experience is strongly associated

Internationalizing Higher Education Knowledge Content: Acknowledging a pedagogical Quality Assurance Discourse

Internationalisation of higher education is a current theme in research and politics of higher education. The theme in this paper is related to present developments and concerns of the growing border-crossing activities that take place between nations and their systems of Higher Education. Higher education is expected to be based on research, research to be an international activity, and the unive

A New Version of Grain-128 with Authentication

A new version of the stream cipher Grain-128 is proposed. The new version, Grain-128a, is strengthened against all known attacks and observations on the original Grain-128, and has built-in support for authentication. The changes are modest, keeping the basic structure of Grain-128. This gives a high confidence in Grain-128a and allows for easy updating of existing implementations.

Strategies for Monitoring of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Aquatic Environment

The protein biomarker vitellogenin in fish is discussed alongside alterative strategies for monitoring of endocrine disrupting chemicals. The first objective was to find a cheap, robust and generic method for the quantification of vitellogenin. A new sample preparation method was developed for the indirect quantification of vitellogenin through alkali-labile phosphate (ALP) with final analysis usi
