OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of incomplete surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy on the prognosis of patients with intraoperative rupture of capsulated stage I epithelial ovarian cancer (OvCa). METHODS: A regional retrospective study was conducted between 1986 and 2019. Among 4,730 patients with malignant ovarian tumors, 534 women with International Federation of

Rural households in Asian developing countries such as Vietnam have been participating in non-farm activities for decades, yet impacts beyond the economy of these households are little understood. Using evidence from available literature and two case studies from rural Vietnam, this paper exposes a range of socio-cultural impacts of non-farm activities. An increased social tension driven by a wide

Antibodies in sera from newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients are directed to a human islet cell protein of relative molecular mass (Mr) 64,000. Since IDDM seems to develop after a prodromal period of beta-cell autoimmunity, this study has examined whether 64,000 Mr antibodies could be detected in 14 individuals who subsequently developed IDDM and five first degree re

The topic solvation thermodynamics is an important aspect of chemistry, dealing with the effects introduced by solvents onto solutes. In particular, biological systems are highly heterogeneous in their choice of solvent typically characterized by either being in a polar or non-polar environment. For example, the cytoplasm of cells constituting the internal environment of cells is an aqueous solven

In this Medium contribution, we take a closer look at the potential of exploiting the ordinary user’s digital (il)literacy in their search practices. We explore how the logic of search engines, and missing or low-quality data are vulnerable to extreme-right manipulations.

En ideal bild av en aktör visar på självständighet och kontroll. För organisationer i det civila samhället är frågorna om beroende och oberoende ständigt brännande. Ett nytt krav på en ”effektrapport” väcker mycken tankemöda. Ska den idéburna verksamheten börja ”mäta en massa saker” i stället för att ”jobba, jobba!”?Kapitlet redovisar en studie som sträcker sig över fem år om införandet av en redo

INTRODUCTION: There is limited knowledge on how the SARS-CoV-2 affects pregnancy outcomes. Studies investigating the impact of COVID-19 in early pregnancy are scarce and information on long-term follow-up is lacking.The purpose of this project is to study the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy outcomes and long-term maternal and child health by: (1) establishing a database and biobank from pregnant w

When in use, a mobile terminal is often held in the hand by the user. However, conventionally terminal antennas are only evaluated in free space, disregarding the effects of user interaction. In this paper, the performance of a low-profile twoport multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna that offers wide symmetrical bandwidth and low correlation in free space is investigated in presence of a

Objectives Although higher occupational classes have been reported to be associated with better health, researchers do not fully understand whether such associations derive from the position or individual characteristics of the person in that position. We examined the association between being a manager and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors using unique panel data in Japan that annually ob

Importance: The association between long sleep duration and mortality appears stronger in East Asian populations than in North American or European populations. Objectives: To assess the sex-specific association between sleep duration and all-cause and major-cause mortality in a pooled longitudinal cohort and to stratify the association by age and body mass index. Design, Setting, and Participants

Since the late colonial period, Myanmar has experienced heated debates over notions of belonging, including belonging as inscribed through citizenship status. At independence, Myanmar opted for a hybrid citizenship regime that allowed for paths to citizenship based on both jus sanguinis and jus soli principles, as well as a liberal naturalization policy. However, a new citizenship law passed in 19

This article examines nalehmu, a set of informal relational practices for negotiating power across scales which have facilitated access and enforced accountability through mutually recognized norms and social sanctions in Myanmar. Like Asef Bayat’s “quiet encroachment” in the Middle East, nalehmu is Myanmar’s discreet and prolonged practice of agency that has enabled ordinary people to survive and

Natural control of invertebrate crop pests has the potential to complement or replace conventional insecticide-based practices, but its mainstream application is hampered by predictive unreliability across agroecosystems. Inconsistent responses of natural pest control to changes in landscape characteristics have been attributed to ecological complexity and system-specific conditions. Here, we revi

The chapter engages with the so-called Swedish Model in the country of its invention: Sweden. First, it examines feminist thought that has supported the implementation of this legislation. Next, it looks at the effects of this law according to 12 key informants and 25 male sex workers. Ultimately, the criminalization of sex work in Sweden is so focused on women selling sex to men that police and p
