Skull base tumors comprise different pathological entities, making establishment of management guidelines challenging. All trials to define the ideal outcome measurement which can be reflected on treatment and prognosis improvement, are not conclusive with a lot of methodological criticism.In this thesis, I took vestibular schwannoma (homogenous pathology, different skull base approaches, may affe
Fear of falling is more common and pronounced in people with Parkinson’s disease than in controls. We conducted a series of studies that used multivariable regression analyses to identify explanatory factors of fear of falling in people with Parkinson’s disease. Three independent samples were used. The first study (n=154) was a postal survey study that used well-established self-rating scales. The
OBJECTIVES: Mental disorders are among the leading causes of nonfatal burden of disease globally.METHODS: We used the global burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors study 2015 to examine the burden of mental disorders in the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR). We defined mental disorders according to criteria proposed in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders IV and the 1
Purpose To investigate the risk of thromboembolic disease (TED) after radiation therapy (RT) with curative intent for prostate cancer (PCa). Patients and Methods We identified all men who received RT as curative treatment (n=9410) and grouped according to external beam RT (EBRT) or brachytherapy (BT). By comparing with an age- and county-matched comparison cohort of PCa-free men (n=46,826), we inv
Background: The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide and prevention is needed. Whole grain has shown potential to lower the risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. One possible mechanism behind the benefits of whole grain is the gut fermentation of dietary fiber (DF), e.g. non-starch polysaccharides and resistant starch (RS), in whole grain. The purpose of the study i
In a critique of the sometimes confusing ways in which the term transnational has been repeatedly used, Mette Hjort, in 2010 attempted to outline what she called a “typology of transnationalisms” in connection with contemporary audio-visual production (2010: 12–33). Hjort’s palpable purpose here was to more precisely illuminate and contextualize the increasingly used concept of transnationalism. A
PURPOSE: To evaluate the general contextual effect (GCE) of the hospital department on one-year mortality in Swedish and Danish patients with heart failure (HF) by applying a multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity.METHODS: Using the Swedish patient register, we obtained data on 36,943 patients who were 45-80 years old and admitted for HF to the hospital between 2007 and 2009.

The population density concept has emerged as a proposal for the analysis of molecular dynamics results, the key characteristic of population density is the evaluation of the simultaneous occurrence of a set of relevant parameters for a system. However, despite its statistical strength, selection of the tolerance level for the comparison of different models may appear as arbitrary. This work intro
During the last decades, the use of wood as construction material in multi-story buildings has increased in Europe. Compared to conventional concrete buildings, wood buildings are more sensitive to dynamic loading at low frequencies. Also, the response to dynamic loading is in general more difficult to predict for wood buildings, given a certain degree of accuracy. This is a consequence of the com
Sex chromosomes in birds have long been considered to be extremely stable. However, this notion has lately been challenged by findings of independent autosome-sex chromosome fusions within songbirds, several of which occur within a single clade, the superfamily Sylvioidea. To understand what ecological and evolutionary processes drive changes in sex chromosome systems, we need complete description
The aim of this study was thru a qualitative study, with the theory about symbolic interactionism made by Mead, examine how the experiences of bullying in elementary school may occur as a consequence for future adulthood.

Hur och vem väljer personer att hjälpa? Och vem hjälper man om man har möjlighet att välja mellan olika alternativ? Att hjälpa handlar inte endast om rationella övervägningar. Det finns ett flertal psykologiska aspekter som påverkar hur människor väljer att hjälpa: hur offret framställs eller vilken sinnesstämning den potentiella aktören befinner sig i. Dessa två faktorer ligger till grund för denHow and who do people choose to help? And who does one help if one has the opportunity to choose between two alternatives? To help is not all about rational considerations. There are a number of psychological aspects which affect how people choose to help: how the victim is presented or what mood the potential actor is in. These two factors are the essences of this study that intended to explore h
Den här texten behandlar auktorisationsregler, med ett särskilt fokus på lärarlegitimationer. Det huvudsakliga syftet är att avgöra om utformandet av lärarlegitimationsreformen var det riktiga för att uppnå syftet med reformen, men texten fungerar även som en sammanställning av gällande rätt. Det är särskilt viktigt för lärarlegitimationer, där reglerna aldrig satts i något sammanhang. De auktorisThis text is a treatment on occupational licensing, with a focus on certification for teachers.
