Background: Techniques for autofluorescence have been introduced to visualize the parathyroid glands during surgery and to reduce hypoparathyroidism after thyroidectomy. Methods: This parallel multicentre RCT investigated the use of Fluobeam® LX to visualize the parathyroid glands by autofluorescence during total thyroidectomy compared with no use. There was no restriction on the indication for su
Introduction: timely access to safe cesarean section (c-section) delivery can save the lives of mothers and neonates. This paper explores how distance affects c-section access in rural sub-Saharan Africa, where women in labor present to health centers before being referred to district hospitals for surgical care. Methods: this study included all adult women delivering via c-section between April 2
Aim: Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is the dominating surgical emergency in preterm neonates. The aims were to investigate indications, surgical management and mortality for surgically treated neonates with NEC. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register for Swedish neonates with surgically treated NEC from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2021. Diagnosis was validated b
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with their 169 targets and 231 indicators epitomise the trend of global governance by numbers. This article suggests the notion of a global “indicator reporting trajectory” that is shaped by three main elements: the politics of indicators, a reporting infrastructure and indicator advocacy. I propose that indicator reporting trajectories may result either in
Neurochemical evidence indicates that cognitive impairment in dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) is related to degeneration of cholinergic neurons in the brain. A pharmacological approach is treatment with a cholinesterase inhibitor such as tetrahydroaminoacridine (THA). THA treatment of 17 patients with DAT was studied with a double-blind crossover design with three types of treatment, THA + lecith
Children has become an increasingly important target group for the Swedish cultural politics where museums play an important role. This focus on children has urged the museums to create different activities, such as exhibitions, specially modeled for the target group. This thesis studies the possibilities for learning in three exhibitions that in different ways have been adjusted for children and

År 2014 skärptes straffskalan för mord genom att möjligheten att utdöma fängelse på livstid utvidgades. Genom lagändringen har livstidstraffets legitimitet och funktion blivit en fråga som i än högre grad än tidigare förtjänar att uppmärksammas. Syftet för detta arbete är därför att kritiskt granska livstidsstraffet i svensk rätt ur ett straffideologiskt perspektiv. Närmare bestämt avses att besvaIn 2014 the sentencing range for murder was changed in order to increase the use of life sentence for murder. Thus the legitimacy of life imprisonment has become an even more relevant question than before the amendment. The aim of this paper is to examine the life imprisonment in Swedish law through a critical point of view. More specifically the main question for this essay is which are the argum
Neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain is well studied, in the two main regions subventricular zone (SVZ) and subgranular zone (SGZ), under different physiological and pathological condition. Recent studies also revealed newly formed neurons in other parts of the brain including the hypothalamus. However, how robust neurogensis in this area is, is still unclear. In this study we used a novel re
Patenträtten har till syfte att främja samhällets industriella utveckling och lagstiftaren vill locka till forskning genom erbjuda uppfinnaren ensamrätt att tillgodogöra sig uppfinningen kommersiellt. För att en uppfinning skall vara patenterbar ställs ett antal krav. Ett utav detta krav är att uppfinningen inte får vara känd sedan tidigare. Med känd menas allt som gjorts tillgängligt för allmänhe
IT-medarbetare är idag väldigt heta på arbetsmarknaden där arbetsgivare tävlar om att få in rätt profiler. Många unga utbildar sig idag inom IT och när de tar sitt första jobb vet de hur eftertraktade de är på marknaden, vilket gör att de nyexaminerade IT-medarbetarna kan ställa ganska höga krav på sina arbetsgivare. Det räcker alltså inte bara med att vinna rekryteringstävlingen, som arbetsgivare
Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. Despite this, the PSA program and many other PES programs do not monitor
