Sex differences in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis included in three observational cohorts

INTRODUCTION: Sex differences in symptomatic carotid artery stenosis have been reported with conflicting results, with knowledge gaps regarding the degree of carotid stenosis, management and preoperative ischaemic events. This study aimed to determine sex differences in symptomatic carotid artery stenosis prior to undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS).PATIENTS AN

Peurbach's Tabulae Eclypsium: A Commentary

The paper is a commentary on the tables in George Peurbach՚s Tabulae Eclypsium and presents their mathematical background with many of the tables analyzed and recalculated. These tables, based on the Alfonsine tradition, made possible more accurate and less tedious calculations of the circumstances of solar and lunar eclipses and were in many respects an improvement over previous similar tables. T

Stroke Associated With Cancer

Over one third of the population develops cancer during their life-time and stroke associated with malignancy accounts for 10% of all hospitalized patients. With and improved survival and better life quality of patients with cancer, cancer related stroke is likely to increase. It is crucial to early diagnose an underlying malignancy to optimize treatment. It is known that a major mechanism is canc

The Grid, the Land, and the Void: : Sweden's Utility-Scale Solar Expansion under Strategic Absence

Utility-scale solar parks are expanding rapidly in Sweden, yet without a nationally articulated strategic vision for solar power. As a result, coordination challenges emerge across technical–material, ecological–spatial, and institutional–procedural domains, with implications for how solar generation is integrated into regional and urban energy systems. This study examines how actors navigate this

Sound of democracy : Towards the democratisation of standards for soundscapes​

With this audio paper, our aim is to explore the connection between sound and democracy. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of this field, we approach it through the notion of care and an empirical analysis of the democratic implications of trying to regulate sound in public spaces. We examine ISO standards as one example of the many attempts to control sound in both public and private spaces. St

Beyond Reporting: The Integration of Climate Change and Biodiversity Into Business Strategies and Governance Structures of Swedish Firms and Financial Institutions

This paper analyses how large Swedish firms and financial institutions integrate climate change and biodiversity into their business strategies and governance structures. Using unique 2022 and 2023 survey data and logistic probability models, we examine how internal and external factors shape early responses to the EU Taxonomy and the CSRD. Our findings confirm that the integration of climate chanThis paper analyses how large Swedish firms and financial institutions integrate climate change and biodiversity into their business strategies and governance structures.

Women and Inshore Fisheries in Oceania

Marine invertebrates and seaweeds of the lagoons and reefs have always been an important source of food and raw materials for the people of Oceania. I examine the gathering of these organisms in both contemporary and more ancient contexts, and according to a gender-based division of tasks. It is argued that although men’s fishing has been well documented, until recently women’s inshore fisheries,

Feeling Queer, Feeling Real : Affective Economies of Truth in Queer Asylum Politics

För att beviljas asyl måste queera asylsökande inför myndigheterna bevisa att de verkligen är queera. Om de inte gör det avslås deras ansökan som icke trovärdig och de riskerar att utvisas till sina ursprungsländer. I denna avhandling utforskar jag, genom möten med beslutsfattare, jurister, asylsökande och flyktingar, den affektiva produktionen av (o)trovärdig queerness inom det grekiska asylsysteTo be granted asylum, queer applicants must prove to the examining authorities that they are genuinely queer. Otherwise, their claims are rejected as non-credible, placing them at risk of deportation. In this thesis, I explore the affective production of (in)credible queerness in the Greek asylum apparatus. Through encounters with decision-makers, lawyers, asylum seekers, and refugees, I discuss t

Valorising seaweed : Novel food valuation in everyday encounters

Översatt sammanfattning:Livsmedelsproduktion och konsumtion bidrar i hög grad till utsläppen av växthusgaser. Eftersom det råder bred enighet om att en övergång till hållbara kostvanor och hållbara livsmedelssystem är nödvändig är en strategi att fokusera på nya livsmedel, såsom tidigare outnyttjade resurser, och att integrera dessa i den vardagliga kosten.Marina makroalger (tång), som inte kräverFood production and consumption are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. As a transition to sustainable diets and sustainable food systems is widely agreed upon, one strategy is to focus on novel foods, such as previously unused resources, and their integration into everyday diets.Marine macroalgae (seaweed), which require no freshwater, agricultural land, or fertilizers, are posi

Publika och privata företags förvärvsbeteende - En empirisk studie av svenska företags samband mellan redovisningsregimer och förvärvsbeteende.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka om skillnader mellan redovisningsregimerna IFRS och K3 samvarierar med svenska företags val av ägarandel vid företagsförvärv samt med innehavstiden av förvärvade företag. Studien analyserar även resultaten i ljuset av redovisningens roll som institutionell faktor. Teori: Studien utgår från Positive Accounting Theory och kompletteras med skuldkontraktshypoPurpose: This study examines whether differences between the accounting regimes IFRS and K3 are associated with Swedish firms’ choice of ownership share in corporate acquisitions and with the holding period of acquired companies. Theory: The study is grounded in Positive Accounting Theory, complemented by debt covenant hypothesis, accounting conservatism, agency theory and institutional theory. Me

How systemic change is understood by nursing home leaders and implemented using plans of correction

When there is a statement of deficiency given to a nursing home, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires facilities to submit a plan of correction stating how they will create systemic change to prevent recurrence of the incident. This study reviewed 90 statements of deficiency and associated plans of correction from across the United States for abuse, neglect, and exploita
