Introduction: Implementing new treatment regimens entails a learning phase with a concomitant risk of suboptimal results. High caseload has generally been shown to improve results in complex surgical procedures. This study aimed to evaluate results of Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (IP), given as Early Postoperative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (EPIC) or Hyperthermic
Understanding regional variation in public transport preferences is essential for designing efficient mobility systems. This study examines the stability of preferences for both traditional public transport and demand-responsive transport across three Swedish regions–Stockholm (urban), Skåne (intermediate), and Värmland (rural)–using discrete choice experiments. The analysis focuses on key service
Questions: Earth observation is an important tool in biological monitoring. Previous studies have shown that variation in grassland canopy reflectance can explain gradients in plant community composition. However, there is a need for methods that allow the interpretation of the overall spectral signal of complex grassland vegetation in terms of existing knowledge about individual species' habitat
Soil microorganisms regulate carbon (C) cycling, and their growth and respiration are strongly dependent on temperature. Yet it remains unclear how warming alters microbial thermal traits, community structure, and the balance between microbial respiration and growth, particularly in subtropical ecosystems where high temperatures coincide with low soil moisture, potentially constraining microbial a
Transpiration drives up to 40 % of terrestrial precipitation, with forests playing a critical role. This study combines long-term sap flow measurements and surface-based cloud observations to examine how different clouds affect tree transpiration across boreal and temperate European forests. Under specific cloudy conditions, sap flow can exceed clear-sky levels, reflecting distinct radiation effec
The mountain front recharge (MFR) process significantly influences the movement of water and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in alpine catchments. However, no existing watershed models can adequately simulate this process, hindering accurate quantification of streamflow and DOC dynamics. To address this gap, this study explicitly incorporated the MFR process into a watershed-scale integrated water–
The rise of solo living presents significant social and environmental challenges, particularly in high-income countries like Denmark where nearly half of households are single occupancy. This study explores the social dynamics driving the trend towards living alone through in-depth interviews with 23 individuals living alone in Denmark. Pathways to solo living include urban relocation, aging out o
How environmental and climate challenges that often evoke strong negative emotions are communicated and responded to is of great importance. These include forest fires, plastic pollution and flooding that can produce fear, sadness and powerlessness. Images are important to this communication, yet how these challenges are captured through visual communication tools and to what outcomes requires fur
We present PyeLink and SyeLink, two complementary open-source Python tools for running eye-tracking experiments and parsing data from SR Research Ltd. EyeLink eye tracking hardware. PyeLink simplifies experiment creation through plug-and-play support for multiple display backends (Pygame, PsychoPy, Pyglet) while enabling two features not available in existing tools: recording data during calibrati
This study focuses on the chromatographic analysis of neonicotinoid pesticides in bumblebee samples. Analyzing these residues presents significant challenges due to the complex biological matrix and the critical need for high detectability to meet regulatory limits. Furthermore, many conventional chromatographic methods are often time-consuming and rely on substantial volumes of hazardous organic
Far beyond its innocence, children and child welfare initiatives have emerged as powerful symbols in Indonesian political campaigns. This research focuses on Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto, showing how their use of initiatives like Smart Card and Free Lunch Program projected legitimacy and garnered votes during the 2014, 2019, and 2024 elections. It uses two main methods: reflexive thematic anal
This thesis investigates how States must approach public-private partner-ships (PPP) for disaster risk reduction to be in compliance with their obligations under international human rights law. Increasingly, engaging in PPPs is becoming standard practice in disaster risk management. Existing research on these partnerships focuses primarily on value-for-money questions. The first people-centered ap
This study examines how AI for minors is framed by AI companies and constructed in public discourse in China and the United States. Using Rhetorical Arena Theory and framing theory, the study analyses corporate communication from four AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Doubao) together with public discourse materials, including mainstream media, NGO reports, and online commentary. Reflexive
Northwest China's arid climate and fragile ecosystems are becoming wetter and greener. However, the rapid expansion of photovoltaic (PV) infrastructure in this region alters land-atmosphere interactions, with potential consequences for local climate and water resources. Here, we use a combined climate and dynamic vegetation modeling approach to assess the effects of hypothetical PV deployment acro
Agroforestry systems – combining trees with crops and/or livestock – are increasingly promoted as sustainable and climate-resilient land-use strategies. Despite their widespread presence in the Sahel, experimental data on their potential as carbon sinks are scarce. This study presents a full-year, high-frequency dataset of CO2 fluxes in a Sahelian agro-silvo-pastoral parkland dominated by Faidherb
This thesis investigates how the integration of post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) systems would affect combined heat and power (CHP) plant performance, using DWSIM, an open- source process simulation tool. A case study on a CHP plant in southern Sweden was conducted, with models simulated for both baseline and CCS-integrated operation. DWSIM proved accurate within a relative error of under 3 %
As the demand for sustainable and efficient energy systems continues to grow, integrated energy solutions have sparked interest in materials that combine multiple functionalities within a single structure. Rather than serving a single purpose, such materials could store energy, catalyse chemical reactions, and even exhibit optical changes, enabling novel applications in smart devices and material
