Purpose: To investigate the change in proportion of high-volume cataract surgeons during the period 2007 to 2016 and determine the impact of operation volume per surgeon and clinical unit on the rate of capsule complications. Design: Retrospective, register-based study. Participants: Patients undergoing and surgeons performing cataract surgery at Swedish ophthalmologic departments 2007–2016. Metho
Background: Cataracts are the leading cause of reversible blindness globally, disproportionately affecting populations in low- and middle-income countries. In Ethiopia, cataracts remain a significant public health concern. Despite the effectiveness of cataract surgery in restoring vision, information on recovery time and its predictors remain limited. The aim of this study was to assess time to re
Purpose: A multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI) biomarker was developed using clinical trial data from North American men with localized prostate cancer treated with definitive radiation, using biopsy digital pathology images and key clinical information (age, PSA, and T-stage) to generate prognostic scores. This study externally validates the biomarker in a prospective, real-world dataset of
Solvent cage-escape dynamics of bimolecular photoredox products in solution has been investigated computationally through a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemical calculations. The present work focuses on the photoinduced oxidation of the organic electron donor dimethylaniline (DMA) by a Fe(III) N-heterocyclic carbene photosensitizer (Fe(III)NHC+) in two different solve
We use a closed-loop algorithm to accurately program hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) to arbitrary chosen target conductance values. The key enabler is suppression of conductance growth. We have identified two different mechanisms contributing to the total conductance of FTJs. By controlling both, we demonstrated an up to threefold increase of the usable conducta
Informetric/bibliometric analyses have to a large extent been relying on an assumption that research is essentially cumulative in its nature, which is not the least visible in the rational for using citation analyses to assess quality of research. However, when reviewing both the theoretical literature on how research is organized and studies analyzing the structures of research fields through inf
This study is an attempt to take advantage of a cerebellar model to control a biomimetic arm. The cerebellar controller is a modified MOSAIC model which adaptively controls the arm. We call this model ORF-MOSAIC (Organized by Receptive Fields MOdular Selection And Identification for Control). The arm features a musculoskeletal model which is controlled through muscle activations by means of optimi
Strategy and methodology is presented for the analysis of organic pollutants, with the purpose of evaluating treatment procedures for landfill leachate. Today, many investigations of treatment procedures are focusing on the measurement of water quality parameters such as chemical and biochemical oxygen demand, (COD and BOD), and total organic carbon, (TOC) when assessing the organic compounds in w
Achieving upcoming emissions legislation (Euro VI) for heavy trucks is a serious challenge for the manufacturers. Apart from the increasingly strict limits on nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate emissions (PM), the limited amount of fossil fuels as well as alarming climate changes simultaneously drives the demand for low CO2 emissions. A likely solution to meet upcoming NOx limits is to use a co
The variations in functional capacity, life quality and health increase as people grow older. Most likely, this is the result of a lifelong process in which both "wear-and-tear" and constructive development play a major role. Life experiences all the way from daily hazards to burdensome life events, to long-term exposure, to stress and strain might wear out the body. Life experiences of self-fulfi
AbstractObjectiveTo study the immediate effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on glucose homeostasis, insulin, and incretin responses to mixed-meal tests compared with the effects of calorie restriction (CR).SettingUniversity-affiliated bariatric surgery clinic.BackgroundRYGB induces remission of type 2 diabetes (T2 D) long before significant weight loss occurs.

Ökad cykling har stor betydelse för ett hållbart transportsystem. För att öka andelen resor med cykel måste dock trafik- och cykelplaneringen ta itu med ett flertal olika problem. Det är emellertid inte alltid fullständigt klart vad som behövs gällande planering för att öka cyklingen. Denna rapport är resultatet av en litteraturstudie om hur olika faktor kopplade till cykelplanering påverkar benägIncreased bicycling is of great importance for a sustainable transport system. This report is the result of a literature study concerning how different factors associated with bicycle planning influence the propensity to choose the bicycle for transportation. The literature study was carried out in the search engine GoogleScholar and only scientific papers, articles and books were included. Throug
An ongoing discussion whether traditional toxicological methods are sufficient to evaluate the risks associated with nanoparticle inhalation has led to the emergence of Air-Liquid interface toxicology. As a step in this process, this study explores the evolution of particle characteristics as they move from the airborne state into physiological solution. Airborne gold nanoparticles (AuNP) are gene
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om åsikterna skiljer sig åt beroende på vilken geografisk region respondenten härstammar ifrån samt att undersöka om åsikterna skiljer sig åt mellan intressegrupperna. För att bearbeta materialet har en kvantitativ innehållsanalys gjorts av inkomna kommentarsbrev till IASB:s exposure draft 2013/9 för IFRS for SMEs som, utöver förslagen, innehöll åtta direkta
This paper legally tests federated learning as a machine learning technique, which guarantees a high level of privacy. This paper provides answers to all legal aspects of this technical development as the first legal paper in this area, while challenging vague GDPR requirements. This method showed its supremacy over conventional anonymization techniques and other machine learning techniques. It mi
Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka huruvida ett nationalekonomiskt perspektiv, genom kostnads-intäktsanalys, kan bidra till att bredda diskussionen om Kriminalvården och dess effektiviseringsarbete. De mått som idag används för att beskriva fångvårdens effektivitet utgörs av bl.a. återfallsbrottslighet, påbörjade samt avslutade behandlingsprogram och antalet rymningar från anstalt. Ingen e
There are two purposes of thesis, the first is to determine: How efficient are Ready-To-Sell packaging solutions through IKEAs supply chain? And the second is to determine: To what level are Ready-To-Sell packaging solutions utilized at IKEA stores? If the solutions aren’t used as intended, what is the reason? Based on the result from the case study the objective is to: Identify possible potential
