Background: Peritoneal recurrence (PREC) following nephrectomy for localized renal cancer (RCC) is rare. Our objective was to report a multicenter analysis of PREC to analyze incidence, treatment, survival and risk factors. Methods: Between 1987 and 2023, patients with PREC following radical or partial nephrectomy (PN) for localized RCC across ten European institutions (UroCCR, NKI, IRCCS, Foch an
European measures and agreements regarding language policy within Europe and its member states have benefited many language communities, but many linguistic issues within the European Union remain unresolved. The European language policy involves many political, cultural and economic challenges for the Union. It is therefore important to not only point out the significance of a European language
This paper studies the relationship between financial development and economic growth. Specifically, the model tests if financial development has a positive effect on capital accumulation and total factor productivity. The study is based on data from 114 countries between 1960 and 2010. The data include a broad variety of countries, ranging from low-income to high-income countries. Following from
Varje demokratisk stat måste i någon mån ta ställning till det klassiska demokratiska dilemmat om hur odemokratiska krafter i samhället bör bemötas. När demokratin hotas genom ett politiskt parti, vars existens och verkande är centrala i moderna demokratier, måste staten i fråga balansera motstående intressen. Den här uppsatsen handlar om praxis från Europadomstolen rörande upplösning av politiskaAny democratic State must to some extent take a stand on the classic democratic dilemma of how to approach anti-democratic forces in society. When the threat to democracy emanates from a political party, whose existence and functionality are central to modern democracies, the State will have to undertake a very delicate balancing exercise. The primary research question is what legal standard the C
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the Swedish newspapers' use of party-preference polls has changed over time. I study 246 articles published by Göteborgs-Posten, Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Expressen, and compare the time-period 1994-1996 with 2010-2012. Amongst other things, I look at the news-papers' reporting of basic statistical information in their polls, as well as th
När blodet är slut... När man normalt bestämmer blodgrupper använder man sig av ett antiserum mot den blodgruppen man är intresserad av. Det finns över 30 st blodgruppsystem varav de vanligaste folk känner till är ABO och Rh (Rhesus), det vill säga om man är A, B, O, eller AB och om man är positiv eller negativ i RhD. När man blir gravid eller får en blodtransfusion utsätts man för blod som inte
During the past thirty years the world has witnessed remarkable developments in agricultural markets in various parts of the world along with several obstacles in reducing global poverty rates. Previous research suggests that the inclusion of small-scale producers into agricultural economies is crucial for sustaining growth and reducing poverty. We argue that the agricultural structural transforma
Biodiversity continues its devastating decline while Europe is facing an estimated 20 million ha of farmland abandonment until 2030. By reviewing scientific and grey literature, websites, and reports I investigate the impacts of rewilding on biodiversity in connection to abandoned farmland. In addition, I analyse the amount of abandoned farmland in three project areas from the Rewilding Europe org
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the study of fluid flows for the analysis of phenomena by scenarios simulated in a computer-based environment. One of the most well-known CFD simulation packages in the fire safety field is Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS). The tasks of setting up an FDS input file can be time-consuming especially for complex building geometries. Building Information Modelling (BI
There are countless amount of questions about online learning today, this dissertation meant to extensively address two of them: the importance of control over learning pace and synchronous social learning – in other words – interactivity. Placing online learning in the context of the current participatory media landscape serves with understanding why people engage and participate and how these mo
Abstract The long-term aim of this project was to develop synbiotic drinks presenting food supplements with beneficial effects on human health. A synbiotic consists of a combination of probiotic bacteria and one or more prebiotics. For the part of the project that was covered by this Master thesis, a probiotic strain, Lactobacillus plantarum F44 and a prebiotic galactooligosaccharide (GOS) were t
Den odränerade skjuvhållfastheten är en viktig geoteknisk parameter som man behöver ha en god uppfattning om i samband med byggnation på lerrika jordarter. Då flertalet av de vanligen tillämpade undersökningsmetoderna är väldigt tidskrävande och kostsamma, finns det ett stort intresse för att undersöka hur alternativa och samtidigt mer enkelt mätbara parametrar, så som flytindex (IL), förhåller siUndrained shear strength is a crucial parameter of the clay-rich sediments commonly used in the design process of geotechnical structures and is determined by several tests. As a considerable part of these tests are cost- and time consuming, it is of interest to investigate the potential relationship with shear strength (cu) with alternative, easily measurable parameters, such as liquidity index (
