Background: Despite a good prognosis, survivors of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may have reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL) many years after treatment, and it is unclear how suppression of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) may contribute to HRQOL. This study investigated changes in HRQOL in the 5 years following DTC treatment, the association between HRQOL and TSH suppression, a
Med sina markanta valframgångar befäster högerradikala (populistiska) partier (RRP) sin närvaro i många västerländska demokratier. Det är väldokumenterat att etablerade partier ändrar sina politiska ståndpunkter och sin framtoning i valrörelser för att möta utmaningen från RRP:s, men hur dessa strategier utvecklas i parlamenten är fortfarande ett outforskat område. I den här avhandlingen fokuserarWith their increasing electoral success, radical right (populist) parties (RRPs) are consolidating their presence in many western democracies. It is well-documented that mainstream parties alter policy positions and issue salience during elections to meet the RRP challenge, yet how these strategies unfold in parliament remains an area to be explored. In this dissertation, I focus on two attributes
Urban planning is increasingly embedded in a neoliberal paradigm, resulting in decentralization and deregulation of planning practice. This affects how compact cities are materialized. However, few studies of the effects of neoliberal planning for density consider the resulting geographies of green space. To address this research gap, this paper explores how the idea of green space is being reconf
The 19th century in Europe was marked by major changes in the clothing supply of households. The availability of new textile materials changed the conditions for consumption and possession of clothing. Much more garments came to be made from purchased and imported fabrics, people’s wardrobes grew in volume, and cotton became an increasingly common and everyday commodity. Though it is well known th
After a long period of being constructed as anonymous administration complexes, first instance courts are once again being built as emblematic elements of the city, designed by renowned architects and rising up on central plots adjacent to train stations, headquarter buildings and exclusive residential areas. This is happening at a time of centralisation, upsizing and property privatisation, and w
Stream ecosystems are dynamic and they have an inherent environmental variability. Organisms that live in streams are adapted to the continuously changing environment and the presence or absence of species are determined by their environmental requirements, while abundance is most often affected by interactions, such as competition and predation, with other species that are found in the same habit
Good roofing materials are both difficult to find and expensive in developing countries. Roofing tiles using cement as the binding agent have been produced in Europe for over 150 years, and have partially replaced burnt ceramic tiles for purely economic reasons. Although modern factories can produce 10,000 tiles per person per day with a few workers, small-scale hand production still offers both g
