Background: Sportsman's hernia/athletic pubalgia is a recognized cause of chronic groin pain in athletes. Both open and laparoscopic surgical repairs have been described for treatment, but there are no comparative studies. The hypothesis here was that relief of pain would be achieved earlier in patients treated with open minimal suture repair than totally extraperitoneal repair. Methods: A randomi
Contemporary understanding of the behaviour of surging glaciers and ice streams is hampered by the lack of data on landsystem evolution and sedimentary environments. This study concerns the ice-marginal environment of the surge-type Brúarjökull in Iceland. The sediment distribution in the glacier forefield as well as the morphology, sedimentology and tectonic architecture of the 1890 end moraine i
We studied the physiological, metabolic and hormonal mechanisms underlying the elevated risk of type 2 diabetes in carriers of TCF7L2 gene. We undertook genotyping of 81 healthy young Danish men for rs7903146 of TCF7L2 and carried out various beta cell tests including: 24 h glucose, insulin and glucagon profiles; OGTT; mixed meal test; IVGTT; hyperglycaemic clamp with co-infusion of glucagon-like
The self-assembly of the trifluoroacetate salt of the short peptide (ala)(6)-lys (A(6)K) in water has been investigated by cryo-transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering. For concentrations below ca. 12%, the peptide does not self-assemble but forms a molecularly dispersed solution. Above this critical concentration, however, A(6)K self-assembles into several-micrometer-lon
Xanthorhodopsin of the extremely halophilic bacterium Salinibacter ruber represents a novel antenna system. It consists of a carbonyl carotenoid, salinixanthin, bound to a retinal protein that serves as a light-driven transmembrane proton pump similar to bacteriorhodopsin of archaea. Here we apply the femtosecond transient absorption technique to reveal the excited-state dynamics of salinixanthin
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to improve the material supply to assembly stations at Nedermans and identify parameters and principles that determine if the components should be stored at the assembly station or in the warehouse. The improvement should reduce the floor space used for assembly, increase the assembly utilization rate and reduce waste of time in the material handling.

The overall aim of the essay is to understand the time and space of the everyday through a critical hermeneutical approach. Specifically, the analysis focuses on post-independence Dublin. Three theoretical conceptualisations of the everyday are discussed. Using the works of Martin Heidegger and Henri Lefebvre, an ideal everyday is conceptualised in terms of “dwelling;” the human appropriation of t
This report is a result of a Master Thesis in Mechanical Engineering with Product Development at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. The Master Thesis was performed during the spring of 2012 at Frankly Development in Malmö. Frankly is Product Creation Company with great knowledge in developing consumer electronics, sports equipment and other type of products. The thesis was initiated by C
Medical education seemingly immune to discussions of gender. Study indicates gender perspective in teaching is lacking Maria Norstedt, Karen Davies Läkartidningen 2003:100;2056-62 This article builds upon qualitative interviews with teachers and students in the medical education at Lund university. The results found that a gender perspective is understood primarily in terms of the biological body.
This second-year master’s thesis builds on the foundation laid in Jivung (2024) by extending the RDD analysis of close-call ESG shareholder proposals to more granular levels – E&S, G, G-Index, and G-Other. This research extends analyses presented in the seminal works of Cuñat et al. (2012) and Flammer (2015), introducing an improved RDD model based on current RDD best practice. This research e
This study aims to clarify the current state of the law regarding the prohibition of dismissal in the context of transfers of undertakings in Sweden and Germany. The prohibition of dismissal originates from Article 4.1 of the Transfer Directive (2001/23/EC) and is an integral part of the European Union’s employment protection framework, primarily aimed to protect employments by restricting dismiss
Ever since its regime transition, Tanzania has been ruled by one single party, the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM). Still, Tripp (2012) underlines that Tanzania remains a ”donor darlings” as foreign donors continue to heavily invest in the country’s prospect of democratisation. Yet, despite twenty-seven years of international effort to promote the democratisation of Tanzania, the country remains to this
Considering the looming threat of rising sea levels and the imminent flooding of many coastal cities by 2050, numerous initiatives are underway to strengthen these regions with various flood protection programs and barriers. However, there might be another solution than just building barriers around our cities. What if, rather than building next to the water, we envision a lifestyle where we inhab
Denna uppsats ämnar utreda värdeöverföringsbegreppets historia, dess definition samt hur bestämmelserna rörande förtäckta värdeöverföringar förhåller sig gentemot rättssäkerhet. Sedan begreppets introduktion i den svenska aktiebolagslagen har detsamma varit föremål för diskussion. Diverse sakkunniga inom det associationsrättsliga området har både prisat och kritiserat värdeöverföringsbegreppet ochThe aim of this thesis is to examine the concept of value transfer, its definition and how the regulation regarding disguised value transfers complies with legal certainty. Since its introduction in the Swedish Companies Act, the concept has been a subject of discussion. Various experts within the field of company law have both praised and criticized the concept of value transfer and its function
This thesis seeks to examine the suitability and robustness of transfer learning models in creating an efficient reCAPTCHA v2 classifier, and further evaluates their performance against various adversarial attacks. Three models - DenseNet201, EfficientNetV2, and InceptionV3 - were trained and assessed, highlighting the applicability of transfer learning techniques in the classification of reCAPTCH
Thesis purpose The purpose of our thesis is to explore how and why consumers with low prior knowledge educate themselves about sports supplements and what effect gender has. Methodology Our research derives from a pragmatic orientation. We conducted a multi-method qualitative study, combining observations and interviews in order to explore and understand the online customer journeys of consumers
