The increasing rate of caesarean delivery is a worldwide concern. A major contributor to this evolution has been a concomitantly decline in vaginal birth after caesarean, because of the risk of intrapartum uterine rupture, which is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication of a trial of labour after caesarean (TOLAC). On the other hand, elective repeat caesarean is associated with surgical
Prey organisms often use multiple sensory cues to gain reliable information about imminent predation threat. In this study we test if a freshwater fish increases the reliance on supplementary cues when the reliability of the primary cue is reduced. Fish commonly use vision to evaluate predation threat, but may also use chemical cues from predators or injured conspecifics. Environmental changes, su
The recent more or less complete return and recovery in Skåne, southern-most Sweden, of epiphytic bryophyes known to have suffered from atmospheric pollution in the mid 1900’s, e.g. Zygodon rupestris, Antitrichia curtipendula, Leucodon sciuroides, Orthotrichum lyellii, O. speciosum and O. stramineum, is here discussed and illustrated on maps. However, apart from these successful recoveries, at lea
Syftet med nuvarande arbetet är att genomföra en klinisk fallstudie som utvärderar begreppet Dynamisk-ElectroEnhanced Chemotherapy ™ (D-EECT). Tio patienter med plavocellkarcinom, åtta med bröstcancer och fem patienter med var och en som presenterade en annan typ av tumör, infördes i försöken initierade av fem olika cancercentra. Alla patienter fick Bleomycin och 2-3 behandlingstider med IQWave ™ The aim of the present work is to perform a clinical case study evaluating the concept of Dynamic-ElectroEnhanced Chemotherapy™ (D-EECT). Ten patients with squamous cell carcinoma, eight with breast cancer and five patients with each presenting a different type of tumour, were entered in the trials initiated by five different cancer centres. All the patients were given Bleomycin and 2 to 3 treatme
Premise of the Study: Turnover in biotic communities across heterogeneous landscapes is expected to lead to variation in interactions among plants, their mutualists, and their antagonists. Across a fragmented landscape in northern Costa Rica, populations of the euphorb vine Dalechampia scandens vary widely in mating systems and associated blossom traits. Previous work suggested that populations ar
Denna avhandling utforskar relationen mellan politik och nya medier genom en studie av digital diplomati i den Europeiska utrikestjänsten (EEAS) 2011-2017. Den belyser hur en diplomatisk organisation internaliserar medielogik. Traditionella ansatser utgår ofta från att medielogiken tar över den politiska logiken. I denna avhandling betonas istället betydelsen av politisk kontext, dess aktörer och This thesis explores the relationship between politics and new media in the context of digital diplomacy at the European External Action Service (EEAS) 2011-2017. In contrast to dominant approaches to the mediatization of politics that consider political logic to be dominated or even replaced by media logic, it gives greater emphasis to the role of the political context, its actors and their pract
Studien undersöker effekter av social distansering och distansundervisning under COVID-19-pandemin bland universitetsstudenter och gymnasieelever i Sverige och Norge. Studier som genomförts under det senaste året visar att studenter har påverkats negativt av pandemin men det finns ingen jämförande forskning mellan de två till synes liknande länderna. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det fanThe study investigates the effects of social distancing and online education during the COVID-19 pandemic on university students and high school students in Sweden and Norway. Through studies conducted in the last year it appears that students have been negatively affected by the pandemic but there is no comparative research between the two nations. The purpose of the study was to discern if there
Background Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. Survival is generally considered favourable, yet some patients remain at risk of early death. We aimed to assess whether comprehensive whole-genome sequencing (WGS) linked to mortality data could add prognostic value to existing clinical measures and identify patients who might respond to targeted therapeutics. Methods In t

Comprehensive approaches to predict performance of wood products are requested by international standards, and the first attempts have been made in the frame of European research projects. However, there is still an imminent need for a methodology to implement the durability and moisture performance of wood in an engineering design method and performance classification system. The aim of this stud
Ecosystems can show sudden and persistent changes in state despite only incremental changes in drivers. Such critical transitions are difficult to predict, because the state of the system often shows little change before the transition. Early-warning indicators (EWIs) are hypothesized to signal the loss of system resilience and have been shown to precede critical transitions in theoretical models,
Background: Current evidence supports the use of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase in patients with wake-up stroke selected with MRI or perfusion imaging and is recommended in clinical guidelines. However, access to advanced imaging techniques is often scarce. We aimed to determine whether thrombolytic treatment with intravenous tenecteplase given within 4·5 h of awakening improves functiona
Lack of reliable information on the status of species often leads managers to exclusively rely on experiential knowledge, opinions or perceptions, usually derived from personnel associated with natural resource management agencies. Yet, the accuracy of these sources of information remains largely untested. We approached this challenge, which is particularly common for wildlife monitoring programs
Purpose: This study aims to demonstrate the suitability of text-mining toolset for the discovery of trends in quality management (QM) literature in 2000-2019. The hypothesis was formulated that as the field of study is mature, the most important trends are related to deepening and broadening of the knowledge. Design/methodology/approach: A novel approach to trend discovery was proposed. The comput
It is unclear how to address PTSD in the context of chronic pain management. Here we examine the potential benefits of an addition of prolonged exposure (PE) therapy for PTSD for adults attending multidisciplinary CBT for chronic pain. Four adults seeking treatment for chronic pain from a specialized pain rehabilitation service were offered PE for PTSD using a replicated, randomized, single-case e
Purpose The purpose is to identify, categorise and describe barriers for a fossil-free transport system for urban goods. Design/methodology/approach The barriers are studied from a systems perspective in a case of a mid-sized Nordic city. Data are collected from 15 semi-structured interviews with officials from the city and representatives of private companies, and from policy documents and a work
Finance ministries are increasingly involved in UN climate finance negotiations,yet this development received very limited attention in the literature on climate finance or climate negotiations. It is not obvious from the literature on bureaucratic politics how these ministries will position themselves on climate finance: they may frame climate finance as expenditure to be limited or as an instrum
