Objectives Ipsilateral recurrence is a relevant outcome measure after kidney-sparing surgery (KSS) for urothelial upper tract carcinoma (UTUC). However, studies comparing ipsilateral recurrence after segmental ureterectomy (SU) and endourological treatment (ET) are lacking. This study aimed to quantitatively assess ipsilateral recurrence in ET and SU for UTUC to inform patient counselling and futu
Background:Mental health disorders represent a growing global challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where women are disproportionately affected by social and structural inequalities. Although women’s empowerment has been increasingly recognized as a strategy to improve physical health, its relationship with mental health remains less well understood.Objective:This study exam
Introduction: External aortic compression is used to reduce excessive blood loss in childbirth. However, it has never been evaluated for the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage. This study aims to investigate whether routine external aortic compression, in patients undergoing elective caesarean delivery, is an effective and acceptable preventive method to reduce severe postpartum haemorrhage. Met
Preterm birth continues to affect 5 to 12% of all live births in Europe and remains a leading cause of neonatal mortality and short- and long-term morbidity. Despite decades of research and clinical innovation, the overall burden has not substantially declined, and in several European settings rates are rising. This paper is a European Association of Perinatal Medicine (EAPM) Good Practice Recomme
The long-term aging of metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals is usually associated with uncontrolled degradation or transformation into unwanted phases. In contrast with this expected behavior, we report the spontaneous evolution of A3Cd2Cl7 (A = Cs, Rb) Ruddlesden–Popper nanoplatelets into crystalline multilayered stacks during prolonged storage in nonpolar solvents. This thermodynamically driven
We present a model of how an individual’s preference for a specific behaviour canevolve as an adaptation to her social environment. Our key assumptions are that thedecision maker (DM) (i) is boundedly rational in her ability to process information andevaluate which actions yield the highest payoff and (ii) can develop a subjective prefer-ence for actions. A stronger preference for an action reduce
revisit the US stock market during COVID-19 and investigate the effect ofnews sentiment and the pandemic on herding behavior in an extended, dynamic,version of the model introduced in Chang et al. (2000). This extension is motivatedboth econometrically and theoretically and the results indicate that treating herdingas a dynamic phenomena may reveal insights into the mechanisms driving thisbehavio
This paper identifies monetary policy shocks for Sweden. Based on the written language indocuments prepared by staff ahead of Riksbank policy meetings, I construct text-based regressors that are shown to systematically predict shocks identified with standard methods such asthe Romer and Romer (2004) Greenbook approach and high-frequency identification. Defin-ing text-based monetary policy shocks a
Acquiring and exploiting memories of rewarding experiences is critical for survival. The spatial environment in which a rewarding stimulus is encountered regulates memory retrieval. The ventral hippocampus (vH) has been implicated in contextual memories involving rewarding stimuli such as food, social cues or drugs. Yet, the neuronal representations and circuits underlying contextual memories of s
Anxiety plays a key role in guiding behavior in response to potential threats. Anxiety is mediated by the activation of pyramidal neurons in the ventral hippocampus (vH), whose activity is controlled by GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. However, how different vH interneurons might contribute to anxiety-related processes is unclear. Here, we investigate the role of vH parvalbumin (PV)-express
Spontaneous neuronal activity and concomitant intracellular Ca2+ signaling are abundant during early perinatal development and are well known for their key role in neuronal proliferation, migration, differentiation and wiring. However, much less is known about the in vivo patterns of spontaneous Ca2+ signaling in immature adult-born cells. Here, by using two-photon Ca2+ imaging, we analyzed sp
Ett skjutbaneområde i södra Skåne, avvecklad 1998, har länge stått förorenad samtidigt som området och närliggande område används för grundvattenuttag. En mark på 28,6 hektar har länge varit obrukbar på grund av toxiciteten. Området planeras på sikt att användas som betesmark för boskap. Några saneringsåtgärder har dock ännu inte fastställts, vilket beror på föroreningsproblemets komplexitet. SyftA 28.6-hectare area in southern Sweden is contaminated due to activities at a shooting range that closed in 1998, while also partially serving as a site for groundwater extraction. The ground has been unusable for years due to its toxicity. The long-term objective for the site is to be used as grazing land for livestock. However, no remediation measures have yet been established due to the complex
With the development of the global transition from linear production and consumption models toward circular economy (CE), large multinational corporations are increasingly expected to disclose their environmental commitments and the substantive quality of their circular initiatives. This study focuses on Fortune Global 500 companies and examines how CE disclosure quality is reflected in sustainabi
Järnvägstrafiken ökar för varje år inte minst i Sverige utan i hela Europa, och det finns krav från EU att ha ett standardiserat järnvägssystem för alla medlemsländer. Ett av dessa krav är det nya signalsystemet ERTMS. Idén bakom ERTMS är att alla ska köra på samma signalsystem, vilket gör att man kan köra över landsgränser mycket smidigare samt att de ska vara mer säkert och tillförlitligt. Med E
Why do some United Nations peacekeeping operations undergo planned mandate transitions and exits, while others remain indefinitely entrenched in frozen conflicts? Conflict literature often assumes that mandate termination naturally follows objective operational success and institutional state-building on the ground. This thesis challenges that assumption, arguing instead that peacekeeping trajecto
Endorsed by the UN Security Council in 2025, the Trump administration's twenty-point plan for Gaza reopened a question that peace processes have repeatedly settled without those they most concern: who authors Palestine's future. This thesis asks how the Palestinian diaspora in Sweden imagines the future of Palestine in light of the Trump framework for peace in Gaza. Drawing on semi-structu
Denna studie undersöker hur polisanställda upplever att implementeringen av projektet Trygg relation – fri från våld har förändrat deras arbetsroll och dagliga arbete. Projektet bygger på strategin Intimate Partner Violence Intervention och syftar till att förebygga upprepat våld i nära relation genom tidiga insatser, ett ökat fokus på våldsutövare och myndighetssamverkan. Studien genomfördes som
