Objective: To gain deeper understanding of how teenage males view abortion, adolescent fatherhood, sexual behavior, and use of contraception. Method: We conducted six focus-group interviews with 17-year-old boys (n = 40). The interviews were tape-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using manifest content analysis. Results: Adolescent fatherhood was considered to be a catastrophe and abort

Hard turning offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional grinding, yet the tool wear progression limits the broader industrial adoption. During hard turning, the surface microstructure of AISI 52100 steel transforms into a nanocrystalline structure known as white layer, accompanied by significant surface residual stresses. With optimal cutting conditions, surfaces develop nanocrystalline mi

Objective: To compare the adverse event (AE)-related discontinuation rate with celecoxib vs. diclofenac when given to reduce joint pain associated with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) in elderly patients. Methods: This was a double-blind, randomized, multicentre, parallel-group, 1-year comparison of celecoxib 200 mg once daily and diclofenac 50 mg twice daily in 925 patients with OA aged >/= 60 ye

Roads are subjected to traffic loads and varying climate conditions that eventually lead to different types of damage. Moisture in asphalt is one of the major causes of premature failure in asphalt pavements. In addition, moisture in the unbound layers and temperature in the asphalt concrete (AC) layers affect the structural response of pavements under loading, such as the tensile strain at the bo

The Armed Forces are one of Sweden’s largest governmental organizations and at the same time one of Sweden’s most gender-segregated and male-dominated workplaces. Recruiting more women into the organization is one of the organization’s main goals for personnel planning, along with providing them with more opportunities for career development. This study sought a deeper understanding of the power r

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial infections is a growing threat to humanity and a challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. Healthcare professionals have an important role in preventing AMR and the spreading of infections. This article focuses on trade union financed journals for nurses in Scandinavia studying how the journals articulate AMR to its readership. A systematic literature s

Human rights statements on intersex characteristics distinguish legitimate “medically necessary” interventions from illegitimate normalizing ones. Ironically, this binary classification seems partially grounded in knowledge of anatomy and medical interventions; the very expertise that human rights statements challenge.

Habitat loss and fragmentation threaten the long-term viability of innumerablespecies of plants and animals. At the same time, habitat fragmentation mayimpose strong natural selection and lead to evolution of life histories with possibleconsequences for demographic dynamics. The Baltic populations of the Glanvillefritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia) inhabit regions with highly fragmented habitat

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of infection after transrectal prostate biopsy (TRbx). Secondary objectives were to describe infection characteristics, antibiotic resistance patterns, ICD-10 coding, and costs. Methods: TRbx carried out at the hospitals of Ängelholm and Helsingborg, Scania, Sweden, between October 2017 and March 2019, were identified based on the NOMES

Suspensions of pancreatic islet cells from noninbred ob/ob-mice were incubated with Trypan Blue. Microscope photometry showed that apparently viable cells excluded the dye completely, whereas the nuclei of nonviable cells accumulated Trypan Blue by a saturable process. The nucleus-to-medium dye gradient was more then 30∶1 in media containing 0.1% or less Trypan Blue. The apparent affinity constant

Inconel 718 is a Ni-based superalloy that can perform excellently at elevated temperatures. However, surface and subsurface damages in the form of microstructural and property changes and tensile residual stresses are common in a machined Inconel 718 component because of its poor machinability. Such damages have a significant influence on performance and the life time of the part. To characterise

Nanosized spherical copper particle embedded on oxide matrix (Cunp-Cu2O/SiO2) is synthesized from a low cost chalcopyrite concentrate. The concentrate is reduced by hydrogen at 1323 K, followed by acid leaching to produce Cunp-Cu2O/SiO2. Powder X-ray diffraction confirms the formation of metallic copper as the principal phase along with oxides of silicon and copper. The weight fractions of Cu, SiO

Introduction: The timing of prophylaxis and F8 genotype can impact treatment outcomes in adults with severe haemophilia A (HA). Aim: To investigate how F8 genotype, timing, and type of prophylaxis influence arthropathy, bleeding rates, factor consumption and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods: Thirty-eight patients with severe HA were enrolled. Bleeding events were recorded retrospect

Planetsystem bildas tillsammans med en stjärna då ett gas- och stoftmoln kollapsar av sin egen gravitation. Ur denna kollaps bildas en protostjärna, omgiven av en så kallad protoplanetär skiva bildad av det överblivna materialet. Då stoftkorn i skivan kolliderar bildas större och större partiklar. När kilometerstora is- och stenblock, eller planetesimaler, har bildats, kan dessa kollidera med varaIn models of dust growth in protoplanetary discs focus is typically on coagulation, a mechanism which unfortunately seems incapable of forming particles larger than centimeters. The main reasons for this are that collisions between larger particles lead to bouncing or fragmentation rather than sticking, and that particles approaching meter-sizes drift radially inwards in the disc due to interactio

In the construction of high-speed railways, an important starting point is to make as little Intrusion on land as possible, therefore it is of high importance to carefully investigate which construction alternatives are the most advantageous. The purpose of this work is to compare and evaluate land use and building on viaduct. The work will be based on literature and interview studies. Sections of

This research advances the theoretical knowledge of the entrepreneurial process by investigating opportunity recognition, evaluation and exploitation in the context of prototyping. In particular, this thesis studies if, how and why the phenomenon changes the new venture creation process. Eight in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with founders of startups offering a digital solution
