The extent of lymphadenectomy performed in conjunction with cystectomy and the question as to whether this is a staging or therapeutic intervention are matters of discussion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sentinel node (SN) concept and to correlate findings with tumour status i
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a standardized surgical procedure and is the third most common vascular surgical procedure in Sweden. To improve the quality of pre- and postoperative care for patients undergoing elective CEA, a standardized care plan (SCP) was developed and implemented during Spring of 2007 at a vascular clinic in Sweden. In order to spread light on obstacles and possibilities in
Despite significant reductions in acute-rejection rates with the introduction of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based immunosuppressive therapy, improvements in long-term graft survival in renal transplantation have been mixed. Improving long-term graft survival continues to present a major challenge in the management of kidney-transplant patients. CNIs are a key component of immunosuppressive therap
Syftet med denna undersökning är att bidra med kunskap kring lärande och hur det är kopplat till självförtroende, självuppfattning och normer i undervisningen. Jag har valt att intervjua studenter från Musikhögskolan i Malmö, där jag för närvarande själv studerar till musiklärare. Studien utgår från studenternas perspektiv och är avgränsad till två huvudområden, undervisning i gehör och notläsnin
The data-based verification of autonomous driving functionalities requires the detection of driving scenarios and driving styles. Driving scenarios define the tasks that the functionalities have to master, whereas the driving style has an impact on the traffic and thus the recorded traffic scenarios. In this thesis we consider two machine learning models which extract driving scenarios and driving
The purpose of conducting this study was to analyze how forced expropriations and the demolitions of informal settlements could fall under the umbrella of “climate change adaptation” measures. Using an actor-network lens and translation theory, these translations are systematically broken down between three distinct levels: global discourse, national discourse, and implementation. As the idea of a

Most importantly, the foundation of caste association was based on the occupation of each group. And the lowest group within this system have historically been excluded and exploited due to their assigned caste-based occupations. Despite implementing affirmative action polici
Tractography is a visualization technique which reconstructs and models neural fibers in the white matter of the brain based on data from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging. It is already used locally to model parts of dominant fiber pathways but global methods are also emerging which aim to reconstruct all the brain fibers simultaneously. In this thesis we have attempted to improve the current
