OBJECTIVE: Aortic aneurysm size is a critical determinant of the need for intervention, yet the maximal diameter will often vary depending on the modality and method of measurement. We aimed to define the relationship between commonly used computed tomography (CT) measurement techniques and those based on current reporting standards and to compare the values obtained with diameter measured using u
An HbA1c threshold of ≥42 mmol/mol has been proposed to diagnose prediabetes. The sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of the proposed threshold for detection of individuals with prediabetes was examined in a study of 573 randomly selected individuals from Vara and Skövde. In addition, the utility of the FINDRISC questionnaire and of a fasting glucose test in combination with thr
Objective. To evaluate the effects on neonatal morbidity of a regional change in induction policy for post-term pregnancy from 43(+0) to 42(+0) gestational weeks (GWs). Design and setting. Nationwide retrospective register study between 2000 and 2007. Population. All singleton pregnancies with a gestational age of >41(+2) GW (n= 119,198). Methods. All Swedish counties were divided into three group
Aeolian dunes, coversands, glacifluvial deltas and paraglacial mass-movement deposits in Bonäsheden and Skattungheden in Dalarna, central Sweden were dated by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) on quartz. The OSL ages confirm that the majority of the dunes started forming directly after deglaciation, as suggested by previous investigators. Dune formation seems to have lasted at least 1500 yea
A first comparison has been made between the pulse-shape discrimination characteristics of a novel He-4-based pressurized scintillation detector and a NE-213 liquicl-scintillator reference detector using an Am/Be mixed-field neutron and gamma-ray source and a high-resolution scintillation-pulse digitizer. In particular, the capabilities of the two fast neutron detectors to discriminate between neu
The so-called ‘Resource curse’ has manifested in several resource rich countries in the African continent. When Ghana found oil in 2007, the finding was consequently accompanied by high hopes of economic growth and increased social welfare (blessing), but also fear that they oil would increase corruption and political patronage (curse). The resource curse literature identifies extensive checks and

Over the last decades, Sino-African diplomatic relations have undergone various changes, corresponding with China’s strategic objectives in and with the respective countries. Under the Xi administration, China’s approach to diplomacy has focussed on the quest of becoming a major global power while, or rather through, upholding its traditional values. This paper seeks to analyse how the current dis
The European Union has a number of policies intended to stimulate growth and development of the less developed countries. This paper investigates EUs largest of this kind, the Generalized System of Preferences, and the effects of graduating from the scheme. When the development of a beneficiary country’s product sector is considered being competitive enough, the EU will no longer include the secto
This paper examines the connection between inflation and long-term economic growth in the European Union by using a panel data analysis over the period 1983-2023. The study is built on earlier research which indicates that inflation may have a negative impact on economic growth but especially at higher levels. Relying on both exogenous and endogenous growth theories, this study also highlights the
Children who are victims of sexual abuse is a phenomenon observed by the society. Research proves that children who are sexually abused, the consequences can be more far re- aching than adults who are exposed of sexual abuse. In 2005, a new legislation of sexual abuse act in force that aimed to increase the protection of children and adolescents who are sexually assaulted. The proposal of the new
We observe that, while predicting returns remain difficult and uncertain, volatility exhibit more persistence and predictability due to well-known patterns such as volatility clustering (Mandelbrot, 1967). We test whether short-horizon volatility forecasts can be used to time leverage in a passive index strategy so as to mitigate the growth penalty from volatility drag in leveraged exchange-traded
This study details the factors which affect the adoption of electronic and online voting in national elections. It researches adoption theories such as Davies' Technology Acceptance model (TAM) and Rodgers' Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) model. The study pays particular attention to three factors - secrecy, trust and accessibility. The paper then focuses on four nations due to their differe
