Introduction: This report evaluates whether health related quality of life (HRQoL) and patient-reported arm morbidity one year after axillary surgery are affected by the omission of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Methods: The ongoing international non-inferiority SENOMAC trial randomizes clinically node-negative breast cancer patients (T1-T3) with 1–2 sentinel lymph node (SLN) macrometasta

The main objective of this paper is to develop a readiness index model that can serve as an analytical tool for exploring the achievements of the electrification of transportation systems. We have applied this readiness index model to evaluate the readiness positioning of China, Norway, and Sweden towards transportation electrification. We have chosen these three countries as they represent divers

BACKGROUND: Anisakis simplex (A.s.) allergy is an emerging disease. The third-stage larvae of this nematode are a source of hidden allergens in fish. There are no clear guidelines concerning dietary restrictions for patients with serum-specific IgE to this parasite. OBJECTIVE: To follow up the clinical data and immunological parameters of patients sensitized to A.s. during 6 to 23 months. METHODS:

In polaritons, the properties of matter are modified by mixing the molecular transitions with light modes inside a cavity. Resultant hybrid light-matter states exhibit energy level shifts, are delocalized over many molecular units, and have a different excited-state potential energy landscape, which leads to modified exciton dynamics. Previously, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians have been derived to des

Alma Engstedt En våtmark i Skåne under november Många våtmarker har anlagts de sista 20 åren för att försöka fånga upp de mängder kväve och fosfor som sköljs ut från åkermark och tar sig vidare ut i Östersjön där de orsakar övergödning och andra miljöproblem. Det är intressant att ta reda på hur väl de fungerar och hur det kan variera under olika årstider. Vintern är inte den bästa tiden för aA small pond situated south of Helsingborg was studied between November 7th and December 1st 2003, in order to determine the transport and retention of nitrogen and phosphorus during the autumn-winter conditions of high water discharge. Two methods of water sampling were used. One based on random sampling and the other using an automatic sampler i.e. a pump with continuous sampling. Mass balance c

Material och produkter som kan innehålla hälsofarliga ämnen förekommer på förskolor i Hässleholms kommun. Bristande kunskap och rutiner bidrar även till barns exponering för dessa ämnen. Det är av vikt att man arbetar långsiktigt för giftfria förskolor. Åtgärder finns, och en hel del kan göras omgående för att minimera problemet. Användningen av kemikalier har ökat markant de senaste decennierna.During the last decades the production and consumption of chemicals has increased dramatically. We know that some chemicals are hazardous for humans and the environment but for most of them our knowledge is limited. Children are very sensitive to hazardous substances compared to adults because of their undeveloped bodies and different behavior. Due to lacking knowledge and regulation of chemicals

Katalysatorer är viktiga för effektivisering av både industri och spetsforskning. Att se enstaka atomer är inte möjligt i vanliga ljusmikroskop, så högupplösande elektronmikroskop har använts för att bestämma storlek hos katalytiska guldnanopartiklar mellan 5 och 20nm.In this project catalysts have been analyzed, in the sense of size and composition, using a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). This important class of substances are used to facilitate chemical reactions, in everything from specific molecular research to conversion car emissions which explains the importance of research. Nanoparticles of gold (Au) have been shown to have good catalytic perfor

Användningen av provokativa åtgärder anses i dagsläget som en godtagbar metod inom ramen för brottsbekämpningen. På grund av åtgärdernas känslighet utifrån integritets- och rättsäkerhetsaspekt används metoden endast i undantagsfall och framförallt för att bekämpa den grova organiserade brottsligheten i Sverige. Syftet med denna uppsats är för det första att utreda rättsläget gällande användningenThe use of provocative investigative measures is an acceptable method within Swedish law enforcement. The method is only used in exceptional cases on the basis of integrity and rule of law and particularly to combat organized crimes in Sweden. The purpose of this paper is firstly to investigate the legal position regarding the use of provocative investigative measures in Sweden and secondly to c

Skyfallsproblematik och anpassning på lokal nivå Det finns klimatverktyg som är menade att hjälpa svenska kommuner i klimatanpassningsarbetet gällande skyfallsproblematik, men dessa används inte i särskilt stor utsträckning. Dessutom verkar själva erfarenheten av skyfall vara en förutsättning för att frågan om anpassning ska bli politiskt prioriterad i kommunen. Studien urskiljer 16 olika verkExtreme short time precipitation, heavy rains, is one of the climate extremes expected to occur more frequently and become more intense in a warmer climate. Heavy rains already affect several Swedish municipalities and damages due to excess runoff water can be substantial, especially where adapting measures has yet to be taken. It is argued that there is a need for tools and support, to help and p

Fideikommiss är benämningen på den särskilda förvaltarform och successionsordning som innebär att all egendom som ingår i ett visst fideikommiss ska succederas till endast en person, oftast äldste manliga arvingen. Rätten baseras på urkunden som vanligtvis kommer i form av ett testamente, ofta med förordnande om att gälla för all framtid. Instiftande av nya fideikommiss förbjöds i Sverige för fasFideikommiss is the name of the special form of administration and succession, which means that all property belonging to a holder of a certain fideikommiss is to be succeeded to only one person, usually the oldest male heir. The right is based on the record which usually comes in the form of a will, often with the order of validity for all future. The creation of new fideikommiss was banned in Sw

Barnets bästa ska vara avgörande vid alla beslut som rör vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Vid bedömningen av barnets bästa skall hänsyn tas till barnets vilja med beaktande av barnets ålder och mognad. Det framgår tydligt av såväl FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter (barnkonventionen) och av svensk lag. Lagtexten ger endast vägledande riktlinjer när det gäller bedömningen av barnets bästa för att uThe best interest of the child should always be decisive in all decisions concerning custody, accommodation, and relations of the child. When assessing what is best for the child the will of the child should be considered. Moreover, the will of the child should be evaluated according to two affecting factors; age and maturity. This clearly appears in the Convention on the Rights of the Child prese

This paper examines understandings of gender with an emphasis on masculinities among Bolivian feminist and women´s organizations. The specific aim has been to find out to what extent their understandings of gender include masculinities, and if so, what are their agendas and political positionings in relation to their work with men and boys. Finally, the study has examined what impact the feminist

The aim of this study is to investigate the concept of transfer of an undertaking and apply the result to in the retailing branch. The questions to be answered are: What is included in the concept of transfer of an undertaking? When is a transfer within retailing to be concidered as a transfer according to article 1.1 in the directive 2001/23/EG and in 6 b § LAS? In 1977 the directive 77/187/EG wa

Most motor actions are carried out by many neurons acting together in different areas of the brain. Recently, techniques have been developed and increasingly used that allow simultaneous recordings of the activity from a large number of neurons over time ranges as long as several weeks. At Neuronano Research Center (NRC) at Lund University, neural activity in rodents has been recorded using chroni

Den pågående klimatförändringens effekter kan komma att bli förödande för människan och forskare menar att det är människan själv som till stor del är orsaken till detta miljöproblem. Forskarna menar att mänskliga utsläpp av växthusgaser från framförallt förbränning av fossila bränslen är orsaken till den globala uppvärmning vi kan se idag. Av denna anledning är det viktigt att insatser görs på alThe ongoing climate change may have devastating consequences all over the world. Most scientists are in agreement that the cause of this global environmental problem is anthropogenic releases of greenhouse gases, of which the main contributor is the combustion of fossil fuels. In order to limit these effects, it is imperative to take action immediately, globally as well as locally. Earlier resear

Offentlig upphandling av innovativa varor, tjänster och byggentreprenader leder till bättre användning av offentliga medel, att lösningar på samhällsproblem kan utvecklas och ekonomisk tillväxt i stort genom att ge upphov till nya idéer och omsätta dem i innovativa varor och tjänster. Mot bakgrund härav införs i direktiv 2014/24/EU flera nyheter som syftar till att möjliggöra en strategisk användnPublic procurement of innovative goods, services and works leads to better use of public funds, that solutions to societal problems can be developed, and overall economic growth by generating new ideas and translating them into innovative products and services. Against this background, Directive 2014/24/EU introduces several novelties designed to allow for strategic use of public procurement to st

The whole word has been getting somewhat familiar with the crisis that the newspaper industry has been experiencing. The past decade has seen print mainly absorbing finances with little to no profits, and the ever-growing digital not offering enough advertising revenue. Hence, the challenges managers face becomes clear: how can we innovate effectively when the current system is a loophole? Additio

With the relative performance between accounting-based and option-based approaches for default prediction being a key subject in previous research, combined with criticism against the rating agencies’ timeliness in assigning credit ratings, surprisingly few attempts have been made to investigate the models’ usefulness in predicting corporate credit ratings. This thesis is the first to investigate

The growing number of African Presidents on Twitter affirms that media, in all its forms, will always play a fundamental role in contemporary politics. Moreover, based on its face value, the presence of Presidents on Twitter could suggest that citizens are gaining unprecedented access to their president. But, this thesis contends that the newness of Twitter should not blind us into thinking that t
