Objective: To assess perioperative outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance for percutaneous access. Methods: A prospectively collected international Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society (CROES) database containing 5806 patients treated with PCNL was used for the study. Patients were divided into two groups based on the methods of
Disentangling the factors shaping species distributions remains a central goal in biogeography, ecology and evolutionary biology. The extrinsic pressures that may facilitate range shifts, such as climatic factors or biotic interactions are well known. However, in contrast, the possible intrinsic factors are manifold and hard to generalize across taxa. Recently, several theoretical studies have inv
Lund University is now taking the next step towards a more secure IT environment. To protect ourselves against today's increased threats, secure passwords alone are not enough; we also need strong authentication to log in to our IT services. Currently, this only applies to Lund University staff, not students.Strong authentication is a way of signing in to an IT service that makes it harder for som

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att ur ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv redogöra för och diskutera framväxten av det internationella brottet folkmord (genocide). Raphael Lemkin myntade 1944 begreppet genocide. Han hade då också en genomtänkt definition av vad begreppet behövde innebära för att omfatta de illdåd som utförs i världen. Bakgrunden till hans engagemang grundade sig i det turkiskottomanska The purpose of this essay is to describe and discuss, from a perspective of legislative development, the making of the international crime genocide. The term genocide was coined by Raphael Lemkin in 1944. By then he had his own definition of what the concept would have to express to include the atrocities happening in the world. The background for his engagement was the cruelties carried out in th
Disasters and climate change impacts, as well as increased water demand, pose serious risks to the provision of sustainable urban water services, e.g., drinking water, sanitation, and safe drainage, especially in cities. These challenges call for a transition toward improved water management, including considerations of “resilience.” However, because the resilience concept has multidisciplinary or
• We aimed to capture possible insights from an AI diagnosing without human guidance.• We believe the result mainly aligns with previous knowledge. Though, vital signs and sex did not aid the AI diagnostics.

Nämndemän har varit med och påverkat dömandet i våra domstolar i mer än 800 år. Deras inflytande har varierat en del under århundradena men aldrig har de haft så stor domsmakt som idag. I tingsrätten dömer vanligtvis fyra domare varav en är juridiskt utbildad (ordföranden) och tre är nämndemän. I röstningsförfarandet väger allas röst lika tungt. Det är kommunfullmäktige som väljer vilka som ska siLay judges have been able to influence the judgments in our courts for more than 800 years. Their influence has varied somewhat over the centuries but never have they had such great judicial power as today. In District Courts there are usually four judges, one of whom is legally trained and three who are lay judges. In the voting process every judge has the same power. The city council decides who
The tendency to buy expensive and unnecessary goods is a pattern of consumer behavior that is becoming all too common in our society. We consume luxury items to satisfy practical needs that are already satisfied in the quest toward self-fulfillment, or simply to impress those around us. The phenomenon of “status consumption” has become increasingly evident in modern society. Although conspicuous c
This thesis explores how the European Union implements the concept of open strategic autonomy through three recent trade policy instruments: the International Procurement Instrument, the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, and the Anti-Coercion Instrument. In response to growing geopolitical tensions, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the stagnation of multilateralism, the EU has increasingly turned to
This paper studies the long-term behaviour of a system of interacting random walks labelled by vertices of a finite graph. We show that the system undergoes phase transitions, with different behaviour in various regions, depending on model parameters and properties of the underlying graph. We provide the complete classification of the long-term behaviour of the corresponding continuous time Markov
This paper studies the issue of whether money contains useful information about future inflation in a panel of nine developed countries. A low frequency estimate of excess money growth is compared to an estimate of the inflation trend following the discussion in Woodford (2007). The empirical analysis shows that money contains more information about future CPI-inflation than an estimate of the inf
Most creative professionals develop and refine their talents by learning from others. In most empirical settings, estimating how this learning process fosters quality is challenging. This paper explores the transmission of quality among music composers over more than seven centuries. How does a composer’s quality influence the quality of the composers they teach? Using a unique dataset of 17,433 c

Understanding the molecular details of bioenergetic processes is fundamentally important. Defects in the mitochondrial energy metabolism can lead to untimely apoptosis and thus cause serious degenerative human diseases. Other defects in mitochondrial energy metabolism can have the reverse effect and cause cell immortality and also contribute to and high metastatic potential of tumor cells. Knowi

Human rights defenders, social leaders, and environmental and indigenous activists fight for political, cultural, social, economic, and environmental rights and often face intimidation and violence as a consequence. In this article, we analyze how the implementation of the peace agreement signed in 2016 between the government of Colombia and the FARC-EP guerrilla group affects environment and huma
