The rapid expansion of cross-border telework has exposed structural frictions between the European Union’s (EU’s) coordination of social security and the international allocation of taxing rights. This article examines how the simultaneous application of Regulation No. 883/2004 and double tax conventions affects the financing of social security systems. It first situates Member States’ heterogeneo
Background: Standardized care pathway (SCP) for macrohematuria (patients aged ≥50 years) in Sweden includes four-phase computed tomography urography (CTU) before cystoscopy, but targeted SCP lead time for CTU (6 days)/treatment is fulfilled in <25% of patients. Purpose: To retrospectively analyze the incidence of CTU-diagnosed upper urinary tract (UUT), kidney and bladder tumors, calculi, radiatio
Objective To train and validate a deep learning-based diagnostic tool capable of accurately segmenting the alveolar cleft region and automatically estimating the required bone graft volume using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Study Design Eighty-eight CBCT scans from patients with nonsyndromic unilateral clefts were divided into training (n = 45), validation (n = 10), and test (n =
Acute postoperative pain remains common despite advances in surgical techniques and enhanced recovery protocols, suggesting that patient-specific factors and individualised approaches may be key to improving outcomes. Real-time intraoperative nociceptive monitoring has emerged as a potential tool to guide analgesia and predict postoperative pain bur their role in an individualised anaesthesia fram
Vi möter dagligen larmrapporter om att den regelbaserade världsordning som etablerades efter andra världskriget håller på att bryta samman. För den som vill få en förklaring till varför detta händer och en hum om vart världen är på väg finns en färsk analys att tillgå i Eswar Prasads The Doom Loop, i svensk översättning ungefär ”domedagsspiralen”.
This chapter tackles the myth that simply providing more information to consumers will lead to sustainable behaviour. It stems from the rational choice model in economics, which posits that well-informed consumers will make better choices. Over time, this belief has led to an over-reliance on information-based tools such as ecolabels, certification schemes and awareness campaigns. However, this ch
The very concept of human rights implies governmental accountability. To ensure that governments are indeed held accountable for their treatment of citizens and others the United Nations has established a wide range of mechanisms to monitor compliance, and to seek to prevent as well as respond to violations.These essays critically examine the functions, procedures, and performance of each of the m
Tourism must undergo a fundamental transformation if it is to align with climate targets. However, strategies in the sector have mainly prioritised eco-efficiency over more radical approaches. This paper brings the concept of sufficiency into tourism research – understood here as sustainability strategies that seek to reduce overall resource use and demand within ecological and social boundaries.
Accurate prediction of urban land use changes at fine spatial scales is essential for developing healthy and sustainable cities, yet traditional simulation models struggle to capture local dynamics due to limited availability of fine-grained data and insufficient complexity in modeling urban systems. To address these limitations, we propose a novel approach that leverages advances in pre-trained v
IntroductionBreast cancer is a heterogeneous disease in which imaging plays a central role. Beyond identifying malignancy, imaging provides information about the mammographic tumor appearance, breast density, and characteristics of the surrounding adipose tissue, which may reflect underlying tumor biology and relate to the prognosis. The aim of this thesis was to explore how features from mammogra
In medieval Scandinavia, parchment was a crucial writing material for everything from property deeds and judicial matters to religious works and account keeping. As society became more and more invested in literacy, the demand for parchment grew. However, the supply of animals for parchment could not increase to the same extent without great changes in animal husbandry. This thesis explores how me
