Objective: This study assessed the applicability and outcomes of the closure of unused cuffs in branched endovascular aneurysm repair (b-EVAR) of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods: We reviewed b-EVAR procedures at a tertiary referral center to identify patients who underwent incomplete branching and needed closure of the unused branch cuffs. An electronic database and intraoperative and fo
Several risk factors for severe non-proliferative and proliferative retinopathy in type 1 diabetes mellitus have been proposed without explaining the rapid progression of retinopathy in some patients. Since GAD65 autoantibodies (GAD65Abs) are detected against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which is mainly expressed in islets and nervous tissue in type 1 diabetic patients, the aim of the presen
Implementation of open source development practices within commercial settings can bring benefits such as improved source code quality, lower maintenance costs, and increased innovation. However, a widespread in-house implementation of the practices has not been observed. The goal of this research is to understand factors which hinder the implementation. For the purpose, development practices of a
Globalization is an increasingly pervasive factor in the economy, and due to the increasingly international market and competition, it is becoming progressively difficult for firms in traditional, mature industries in high-wage countries to remain competitive. This thesis highlights the case of the Småland-Blekinge region that is performing paradoxically well, largely due to a manufacturing indust
Kvicksilver, Hg, är ett farligt grundämne i miljön då Hg är ett flyktigt ämne. Hg blir farligt för oss människor om det ansamlas i kroppen i form av metylkvicksilver och kan orsaka skador på nervsystemet, njurar och fortplantningsorgan mm. Kvicksilver förs in i vår närmsta livsmiljö i allt större omfattning genom industriprocesser; vanligast är då förbränning av kol och användning i lampor, vulkanMercury is a a heavy metal and its presence in our environment constitutes an health-hazard for example in the form of methyl-mercury. Therefore, it is important to construct sensors to detect this pollutant. Research is also being performed on developing optical sensors and mercury can be detected through a range of methods, from point monitoring using Zeeman absorption to 3-D scanning of the atm
Enligt svensk rätt har den misstänkte inte någon möjlighet att bli betraktad som slutligt avförd eller friad från en brottsmisstanke innan åklagaren har väckt åtal. Till dess är brottmålsprocessen i princip helt inkvisitorisk, vilket ställer höga krav på rättssäkerheten. Avsikten med uppsatsen är att genom rättsdogmatisk metod granska de rättsliga medel som åklagaren har till sitt förfogande för aA suspect has no opportunity by Swedish law to be considered as finally crossed out or acquitted from a suspicion of crime before prosecution. Until prosecution the proceedings are in essence totally inquisitorial, which requires high legal security. This thesis aims to, by a legal dogmatic method, examine the prosecutor’s legal instruments of terminating an investigation. Furthermore, these legal
In the last twenty-five years, the influence of climate change over the lives of the world’s citizens has become a central topic of discussion within multilateral organisations such as the United Nations. The topic of policy and decision- making capacity, as well as representation of developing nations such as Small Island Developing States (SIDS) is also constant. This research is conducted as a
Vindkraftsetableringar är idag vanliga runt om i landsbygden i Sverige. Vindkraftverk är ett miljövänligt alternativ för energi som hela samhället behöver. Samhällets behov av just förnyelsebara energikällor har ökat bara de senaste få åren. I april 2009 antogs Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2009/28/EG om främjande av användningen av energi från förnybara energikällor. För Sveriges innebarWind farms are today very common around the countryside in Sweden. Wind turbines are an environmentally friendly alternative to generate energy that the whole community needs. Society's needs for renewable energy sources have increased over the last few years. In April 2009, Directive 2009/28 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewabl
Recently, new spectroscopic techniques have been developed such as photocurrent detected two-dimensional spectroscopy [1], which measure the response from a sample that is excited by a high intensity laser pulses. The responses are linear and nonlinear signals that have very different amplitudes; the linear signal can be from 103 to 105 times larger than the nonlinear signal. These two signals hav
The industrial and information revolutions that took shape in the British and Anglo-American empires, respectively, and that are linked in time and space by a westward expansion of capital, have both been justified and referred to as unavoidable and inescapable processes. Thus, they have been understood more as revelations of nature and less as products of a particular and historical society. Karl
The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of various hierarchical levels regarding AI integration into the innovation process within a KIF and examine its influence on the design and usage of MCS. By synthesizing insights into the relationship between AI integration and MCS, this research contributes valuable knowledge to academic discourse and practical implementation strategies, en
In modern electronics, device downscaling demands atomic precision control and Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) can provide this prime capability with minute device damage. ALE, also known as layer-by-layer etching, is a technique of removing atomically thin layers from the surface of materials in a controlled way. This technique is now very crucial for nanofabrication and semiconductor industry in orde
Förtalsbrottet syftar till att skydda den enskilde från ärekränkningar och utgör således en tillåten inskränkning i den grundlagsstadgade tryck-och yttrandefriheten.

Mänskliga aktiviteter påverkar den biologiska mångfalden genom en mängd olika aktiviteter som ofta leder till att ekosystem utarmas. Detta leder i förlängningen till stora samhällsekonomiska förluster. Det nuvarande svenska rättsliga systemet för bevarande av biologisk mångfald fokuserar på att bevara och skydda arter som är hotade och specifika områden där dessa lever. Jag ifrågasätter utgångspunHuman activities affect biological diversity in a multitude of ways,often leading to a disruption of ecosystems. In extension this results in large economic losses for the society. The present Swedish system for preservation of biodiversity focuses on conservation of species and the specific habitats of these. I want to challenge the basic premise that biodiversity is best sustained through the pr
The purpose of the study was to capture a number of views on what impact language has on integration processes and social life. Since language is an important component of communication amongst people, it affects several aspects of everyday life such as occupation and social participation. To accomplish the aim eight people of foreign origin with experience of studying the language education progr

Objectives: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is associated with a poor prognosis and a lack of specific treatment options. The dysregulation of activin A (ActA) has been reported in various malignancies. Herein, we investigated the diagnostic and prognostic significance of ActA in LUSC. Materials and methods: ActA concentrations were measured using ELISA in plasma samples of 128 LUSC patients (
