In the construction of high-speed railways, an important starting point is to make as little Intrusion on land as possible, therefore it is of high importance to carefully investigate which construction alternatives are the most advantageous. The purpose of this work is to compare and evaluate land use and building on viaduct. The work will be based on literature and interview studies. Sections of
Previous studies clarified that the electron enriched NADH and NADPH by RBC glycolysis could be used in an extracellular chemical reaction, where electron energies are extracted by an electron mediator methylene blue (MB). The reduced form of MB permeates the phospholipid bilayer of liposomes and reduce encapsulated ferric methemoglobin (metHb) to ferrous hemoglobin. Moreover, in vitro screening s
The study examines the narratives of the Decembrist revolt created in and around Russian state-funded cinema. By exploring the narratives surrounding a particular instance of political dissent in the past, the research seeks to uncover the factors that impact on the negotiation of cultural memory between the text and the audience in the context of state-influenced media. This exploration is based
Loans play an important part in how individuals fulfill their goals in the Swedish society. It makes it possible for people to buy a house or get an education, things that might have been impossible without the possibility of taking a loan. A loan also comes with obligations and restrictions on the loan takers life, paying off a loan can take a lifetime and it requires that the loan taker become s
The first aim of this study was to on historical background survey women's alcohol habits and especially to investigate women aged 50-59 living in the Lund area. The second aim was to increase the understanding of how women's sex role has a restrictive influence on their alcohol habits. To investigate women's alcohol habits I made two quantitative studies. From secondary data I found t
Title: With both feet in a foreign country.Imagine yourself coming from your country to another. Sometimes because of political reasons. You can both feel welcomed and at the same time feel that you don’t belong in this new country. This study is about human identity and the ability to adjust to a new music, culture and language. This study is based on interviews in which the persons I have interv
With the branding of a city as green increasingly serving to amplify attractiveness andinvestment while also contributing to patterns of green gentrification, the incentive to link real estate development and green space is growing. Yet, little is known about the extent to which this incentive has generated a spatial relationship between green space and newly constructed housing at the city-wide l
Advancements in treatments have significantly improved the prognosis for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and there is a growing population of survivors with an increased susceptibility to infections. We assessed the incidence of infections by clinical characteristics and treatment both before and after MCL diagnosis in Sweden. Patients with a diagnosis of MCL ≥ 18 years between 2007 and 2019 were incl
The production of dark matter in association with Higgs bosons is predicted in several extensions of the Standard Model. An exploration of such scenarios is presented, considering final states with missing transverse momentum and b-tagged jets consistent with a Higgs boson. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the L
BACKGROUND: The scapular free flap has increasingly gained popularity as an alternative to the fibular free flap in osseous head and neck reconstruction. The present study aimed to evaluate their use in maxillomandibular reconstructions and examine surgical and patient outcomes.METHODS: Osseous head and neck defects reconstructed with an angular artery-based scapular flap or fibular flap from 2016
BackgroundIn a previous phase II trial, intraperitoneal local anaesthetics shortened the time interval between surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, an endpoint associated with improved survival in advanced ovarian cancer. Our objective was to test this in a phase III trial.MethodsA double-blind, phase III parallel superiority trial was conducted at two university hospitals in Sweden, within a public
Purpose: Due to limited data on treatment-related risk factors associated with esophageal stricture in childhood cancer survivors, this study aimed to assess such factors in long-term survivors. Methods: A case-cohort study was conducted involving 36 cases of five-year childhood cancer survivors with esophageal stricture and a sub-cohort of 540 survivors diagnosed with cancer in 1970–2007 as ident
Wetland hydrological dynamics often dictate the composition of biological communities found in or near wetlands, either directly or through changes in vegetation composition. However, much remains unknown, particularly regarding how riparian arthropods respond to such dynamics. In this study, we used high-resolution hydrological data, along with presence of grazing livestock and shoreline vegetati
Background: Point-of-care (POC) tests, including C-reactive protein (CRP) tests and rapid antigen detection tests (RADT) for group A streptococci (GAS), are widely used in Swedish primary health care (PHC). This study quantifies their use in pharyngotonsillitis and explore their association with antibiotic prescribing. Material and methods: Retrospective data from 2012–2016 in Region Kronoberg, Sw
Background: The debate over legalizing medical assistance in dying (assisted dying) is ongoing, also in Nordic countries such as Sweden where assisted dying is illegal. A 2020 survey by the Swedish Medical Association highlighted varied perspectives, with 41% of physicians supporting and 34% opposing legalization. Professionals in palliative care were more negative toward it. Objective:
Colored sticky traps are used for management of many common agricultural insect pests. Several recent studies have shown that traps can be improved by systematically considering properties of color vision for the target species. In the current study, we extend this approach to spatial vision, using information about the interommatidial angle of an agriculturally important insect pest, western flow
AIMS: Previous studies show inconsistencies in vasovagal syncope (VVS) symptoms and haemodynamic responses across age and sex groups, with limited evaluation of tilt test results. This study comprehensively examines differences in triggers, prodromal and syncopal symptoms, and head-up tilt test (HUTT) responses among VVS patients by age and sex providing new insights.METHODS AND RESULTS: We analys
Sundarban mangrove is the largest continuous mangrove forest in the world and is the habitat of an incredible amount of biodiversity. Biodiversity loss and degradation of this highly ecologically productive mangrove forest due to climate change will have a tremendous impact on the livelihood of the people living in the deltaic region. The present study was aimed to find out the dynamics of change
Background People with serious respiratory illness frequently have a high symptom burden and may be prescribed supplemental oxygen therapy with the aims of reducing the severity of breathlessness and improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of oxygen therapy versus no oxygen on 1) breathlessness, 2) HRQoL and 3) ad
