Purpose This study aims to report the clinical outcome of computer-assisted fundoplication (CAF) in children. Methods As our center changed policy to using computer-assisted surgery only, a prospectively studied cohort of 40 children underwent CAF, during the period from January 2006 through May 2013. The collected data include patient demographics and postoperative complications as well as medica

Detta arbete handlar om de fall då en målsägande för talan om enskilt anspråk efter att ha utsatts för ett brott. Mer specifikt handlar arbetet om när anspråket handläggs tillsammans med ansvarstalan och vilka bevisregler målsäganden kan förväntas behöva förhålla sig till - de som tillämpas i tvistemål eller de som tillämpas inom straffrätten. Uppsatsen tar särskilt sikte på frågor om beviskrav ocThe subject of this essay is court cases where a plaintiff's claim for compensation is based on the fact that the person concerned has been a victim of a crime. More specifically, this essay concerns the plaintiff’s possibility to make the individual claim simultaneously with the prosecutor’s claim for criminal liability. The inquiry focuses on evidence and whether the principles applicable in

With the transistor being the workhorse in modern electronics it has been vastly improved since its invention. However, the previous go-to improvement method of scaling it down has reached a dead end. Power dissipation has become a large concern and is in need of a solution. In the pursuit of further improving the transistor structure and its performance new approaches are being evaluated. A very

Globally, the production and consumption of plastic has increased exponentially. As plastic items are produced using fossil fuels, the plastic industry is intrinsically tied to the petrochemical industry. One unique case of this dilemma lies in the petrochemical industry’s role in plastic production in Taiwan. Despite its reputation for recycling, Taiwan is satiated with ineffective sustainability

This thesis was conducted to quantitatively describe environmental and economic benefits from reuse of office furniture together with a status analysis of methods used to calculate that kind of data. Information was gathered from literature and interviews with industry players. The results from the different sources were initially presented separately and later compiled to demonstrate what they in

This thesis addresses overvoltage issues in weak low voltage grids caused by large solar power production. The suggested method is using PI controllers to control voltage. This is done by using battery energy storage systems (BESS), designed to absorb active power during these times and thereby limiting the voltage rise. This could enable faster integration of solar power and a reduced demand for

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, i.e. primarily Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) is characterised by a chronic or relapsing inflammation of the digestive tract. The thiopurine drugs 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and azathioprine (AZA, an imidazol derivative and pro-drug of 6-MP) are currently used to an increased extent in IBD, particularly in Crohn's disease. Metabolism of thiopurines is comple

Abstract in Uncoded languages Praegune kaitsejalatsite testimise standard (EN 344) kontrollib soojapidavuslikke omadusi vaid jalatsi ühes punktis mõõtes temperatuuri muutust. Meetod, mis kasutab termilist jala mudelit võimaldab mõõta jalatsi soojaisolatsiooni üheaegselt erinevates piirkondades ning ühtlasi ka jalatsi kui terviku soojaisolatsiooni. Selle uurimuse käigus on soojendatava jala meetodiPresent standard on safety footwear (EN 344) checks the insulation only at one point in the shoes by means of measuring the temperature change. A method that uses thermal foot model allows to measure footwear insulation simultaneously at various locations and for whole footwear as total. In the cause of the present research the method of heated foot model has been developed further. Now it is poss

Background: A number of the deeper divergences in the placental mammal tree are still inconclusively resolved despite extensive phylogenomic analyses. A recent analysis of 200 kbp of protein coding sequences yielded only limited support for the relationships among Laurasiatheria (cow, dog, bat and shrew), probably because the divergences occurred only within a few million years from each other. It

Background: Autonomic neuropathy in diabetes, in addition to causing a range of symptoms originating from the autonomic nervous system, may increase cardiovascular morbidity. Our aim was to study the progression of autonomic neuropathy, based on symptom score and evaluation of an autonomic test, in persons with normal and impaired glucose tolerance and in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Metho

© 2017 Metal cutting simulations have become an important part of cutting tool design and the research in the field in general. One of the most important aspects of modeling is the accuracy of the tool geometry. 3D microscopy is used for measuring the tool edge radius with good accuracy. However, especially with sharp tools, i.e. small tool edge radii, the measurements, no matter how accurate, are

The aim of this thesis was to compare different ways of dissociating tissue - specifically breast cancer tissue - and sorting out tumour cells and immune cells from the dissociated tissue using acoustophoresis in a microfluidic chip. Due to ethical issues with using tumour tissues to work on the methodology of a project, ultimately only healthy breast tissue was used in this work. Two dissociatio

The social and environmental impacts associated with corporate water use and discharge in Kazakhstan is historically high, and in certain watershed pose a significant threat to the health of the local communities and ecosystems. Today the industries are consuming almost a third of freshwater and remain one of the biggest polluters in the country. The situation is aggravated with the changing clima

I augusti 2022 infördes en ny regel om distansutmätning. Regeln har tagit plats i 6 kap. 12 a § UB och ger Polismyndigheten möjlighet att säkerställa egendom inför utmätning. Detta kan ske i fall då polistjänstemän inom ramen för sitt normala uppdrag kommer i kontakt med egendom som de misstänker kan utmätas. I dessa fall kan Polismyndigheten på plats ringa KFM och fråga om ägaren har indrivningsbIn August 2022, a new rule on remote property securing was introduced. The rule is found in Chapter 6 § 12 a of the Enforcement Code, granting the Police Authority the power to secure property for enforcement purposes. This can occur when police officers, in the course of their normal duties, come into contact with property they suspect can be seized. In such cases, the Police Authority can call t

Different actors identified the circular economy (CE) as a solution to tackle global environmental challenges and foster sustainable growth. Transitioning to CE requires new circular business models (CBM), which create, capture, and deliver value, based on the principles of the CE. It is, however, a challenging process for companies see through the wide variety of CBM types and to identify which C

Investing based on environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) criteria has grown rapidly in recent years. The trend has been driven by both an increased interest in sustainability, and the fact that ESG related corporate events have been shown to influence stock prices. In tandem with this development, a number of companies has pioneered methods to quantify a firm’s ESG performance. One of thes
