Selected combinations of (Z)-5-decenyl, (Z)-7-dodecenyl, and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetates, the pheromone components of the turnip moth AgrotisSegetum were tested for field attractancy at six, two, and three sites in Europe, Asia, and Africa, respectively. At all of the sites in Eurasia and in northern Africa the ternary mixture of the acetates captured most males, while at the sites south of the Sa
The optimal time interval from neoadjuvant therapy to surgery in the treatment of esophageal cancer is not known. The aim of this study was to investigate if a prolonged interval between completed neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery was associated with improved histological response rates and survival in a population-based national register cohort. The population-based cohort study included
Objective: To compare the assessments of 10-year probability by patients and their physicians of cardiovascular complications of hypertension with actual outcomes. Design: Patients with uncomplicated hypertension treated with at least one antihypertensive drug at inclusion were followed for 10 years through mandatory national health registers. Setting: 55 primary health care centres, 11 hospital o
Recent data resulting from studies of two-nucleon transfer reaction on 11Li, analyzed through a unified nuclear-structure-direct-reaction theory have provided strong direct as well as indirect confirmation, through the population of the first excited state of 9Li and of the observation of a strongly quenched ground state transition, of the prediction that phonon-mediated pairing interaction is the
Purpose We evaluated the feasibility of treating patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with pencil beam scanned intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) in breath-hold. Methods and Materials Fifteen NSCLC patients who had previously received 66 Gy in 33 fractions with image guided photon radiation therapy were included in the present simulation study. In addition to a
Objectives The aim of this study is to determine diagnostic patterns in the prehospital paediatric population, age distribution, the level of monitoring and the treatment initiated in the prehospital paediatric case. Hypothesis was that advanced prehospital interventions are rare in the paediatric patient population. Setting We performed a retrospective population-based registry cohort study of ch
Background: People with Intellectual Disability (ID) in Sweden should be enabled to live like others. This life like others is realised in group homes that have little in common with the typical home. Method: A reading of Appiah’s As if is used to discuss how people with ID are supported in Sweden. Current national data are presented within the framework of idealisation, the use of (useful) untrut
Koncernmässig goodwill och hur nyttjandeperioden för denna skall fastställas är ett omdiskuterat ämne. En fråga som debatteras är harmoniseringsproblemet och vart utvecklingen på området går. Två svenska koncerner, Atlas Copco och Electrolux, har valt att skriva av sin goodwill på upp till 40 år trots att det i Sverige är rekommenderat att skriva av upp till maximalt 20 år. De motiverar de avskriv
Bakgrund: Behovet av segmentredovisning har uppmärksammats de senaste decennierna och såväl FASB som IASB har gjort lagändringar för att förbättra rapporteringen. I dagsläget skiljer sig reglerna åt. I och med strävan efter överensstämmelse mellan de två stora regleringarna har IASB gett ut ett förslag, ED8, vilket är förenligt med FASBs reglering, SFAS 131. Syftet med det nya förslaget är även at
Striving to contribute to research on child- and youth spirituality and African theology with a contextually grounded, non-western, qualitative youth perspective, the aim of this study is to seek an understanding of the spirituality of male youth that live on the streets in Nairobi. To fulfil this aim, the research task carried out is an analysis of the source material from six focus group intervi
Sport is a crucial arena in which hegemonic masculinity is constructed and reinforced. The creation of gendered hierarchies is a powerful tool contributing to the persistence of male dominance, subordinating those not conforming to the specific expectations of what counts as ‘masculine’. Conducting an analysis of 24 German and British online articles reporting on weightlifting during the 2012 Lond
Here a lung-on-a-chip device was developed and fabricated using 3D-printing of molds. The lung-on-a-chip device was used as a lung injury model by overstretching of murine lung epithelial cells (MLE-12) monolayers, resembling the injury during mechanical ventilation. The cells were exposed to 25% strain, representing pathological conditions seen in ventilator induced lung injury of patients with
This thesis is a descriptive case study of the institutional measures to improve women’s representation in Chile between 2015 and 2022. Women in Chile have historically been underrepresented because of two institutions introduced by former dictator Pinochet: the 1980 constitution and the binomial electoral system. In 2015, Chile reformed its electoral system to replace the binomial system with a
Over recent decades, use of insecticides to protect plants from pests and harmful insects have increased manyfold. Neonicotinoid insecticides, such as Imidacloprid (IMI) acts as partial agonists on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which are widely present in both the central and peripheral nervous system of insects. Pollinators like Eristalis tenax are frequently exposed to these pesticides but h
This thesis aims to explore the transnational experiences of Brazilian immigrants living in Sweden. As a contribution to media and migration studies, this research investigates the immigrants’ non-mediated and mediated practices that influence their sense of belonging in the host country. There is scarce research comprising Brazilian immigrants abroad, particularly in Sweden, compared to other Lat
This thesis focuses upon generating a Sámi assessment of the EU’s addressal of the rights and needs of indigenous peoples in the EU’s extensive development of space infrastructures in the Arctic. The central puzzle derives from the EU’s oft-presented claim that indigenous peoples will be engaged with, included in, and will benefit from said space development activities; previous literature explori
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker gällande krav på mens rea för att företagsrepresentanter ska kunna hållas juridiskt ansvariga för medverkan i krigsbrott begångna av Stater inom ramen för icke-internationella väpnade konflikter. En alltmer vedertagen uppfattning är att företag som bedriver affärsverksamhet i konflikthärjade områden kan ha en negativ påverkan på den aktuella konflikten samt, i vissThis thesis examines the levels of mens rea required for corporate actors to be held liable for complicity in war crimes committed by States in non- international armed conflicts. The notion that corporations acting in conflict- torn areas can affect negatively upon the state of conflicts and in some cases even contribute to the commission of war crimes by other actors is becoming increasingly acc
Several channeled emissions at the Sysav water treatment plant for hazardous waste as of December 2021 exceed permitted levels of unknown volatile organic compounds (VOCs) stated in the European Parliament councils’ directives 2010/75/EU. A range of possible treatment methods are briefly discussed before zeolite adsorption, and thermal regeneration followed by catalytic combustion is decided to b
