Background High-dose aspirin (>= 500 mg daily) reduces long-term incidence of colorectal cancer, but adverse effects might limit its potential for long-term prevention. The long-term effectiveness of lower doses (75-300 mg daily) is unknown. We assessed the effects of aspirin on incidence and mortality due to colorectal cancer in relation to dose, duration of treatment, and site of tumour. Methods

How do men and women differ in their persistence after experiencing failure in a competitive environment? We tackle this question by combining a large online experiment (N=2,086) with machine learning. We find that when losing is unequivocally due to merit, both men and women exhibit a significant decrease in subsequent tournament entry. However, when the prior tournament is unfair, i.e., a loss i

The aim of the present study was to examine mean HbA1c and blood pressure levels during a 5 year period in 442 type 1 adult diabetic patients in relation to the incidence and progression of retinopathy, nephropathy and to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The study showed, that in patients under routine care at a diabetic unit with four visits to the out-patient clinic per year, the intraind

Purpose: To assess the additional value of subtraction ictal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) coregistered to MRI (SISCOM) for localization of the epileptogenic zone in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy scheduled for invasive video-EEG (VEEG) before epilepsy surgery by a descriptive study from clinical practice. Methods: Forty-nine consecutive epilepsy patients between Januar

Since the beginning of African decolonisation in the mid-twentieth century, many newly independent countries struggled to embark upon a path of sustained economic growth to raise their populations out of poverty. One of these countries is Tanzania. Surrounded by the Great Lakes on the west and bordering the Indian Ocean to the east, Tanzania is the fifth-most populous country in Africa. It is also

I provide evidence of social spillovers of personality by showing that being in class with motivated peers affects educational success. I first document that academic motivation, a key aspect of personality in the context of education, predicts own achievement, classroom behavior, high school GPA, and college-test taking among elementary school students. Exploiting random assignment of students to

This thesis evaluates if a countrywide female-related healthcare intervention in 2015 affected Swedish regions’ maternal health outcomes differently due to a decentralized healthcare system. By exploiting regions’ varying budget dedicated to female-related healthcare before the intervention, the size of the budget increase is estimated. Maternal health outcomes before and after the intervention ar

In this paper, we discuss the apportionment of national debt when Ireland exited the UK in 1922. We estimate that the claim on Ireland amounted to 80 percent of Irish Gross National Product (G.N.P.) and describe how it was ultimately waived at the expense of an unchanged land border with Northern Ireland. While this represents the largest debt relief episode in the twentieth century, the political

In the brain, focal ischemia results in a local region of cell death and disruption of both local and remote functional neuronal networks. Tissue reorganization following stroke can be limited by factors such as extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules that prevent neuronal growth and synaptic plasticity. The brain's ECM plays a crucial role in network formation, development, and regeneration of the c

A recently identified polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL) from Bacteroides ovatus ATCC 8483 is transcriptionally up-regulated during growth on galacto- and glucomannans. It encodes two glycoside hydrolase family 26 (GH26) β-mannanases, BoMan26A and BoMan26B, and a GH36 α-galactosidase, BoGal36A. The PUL also includes two glycan-binding proteins, confirmed by β-mannan affinity electrophoresis. W

Objective: To investigate fatigue at baseline and 3.5 years later and its association with balance and gait over time.Background: In Parkinson’s disease (PD), fatigue is considered one of the most common and disabling nonmotor symptoms that may persist or even worsen over time. Fatigue in generally has been described as a significantly diminished energy level or an increased perception of effort d

In this paper, we study how the distributional preferences of planners and the public diverge in the context of national infrastructure planning. To do so, we surveyed a sample of 323 planners working at the Swedish Transport Administration and 2,108 members of the Swedish public. The most striking difference is that planners place a relatively higher value on aggregate benefits than the public. P

While the association between economic freedom and long-term economic growth has been well documented, the parallel research literature on the distributional consequences of economic freedom is full of conflicting findings. In this paper, we take a step toward reconciling these two bodies of literature by exploring the within-quintile growth consequences of changes in three separate elements of ec

This thesis work was done in the SCAN COIN headquarters in Malmö, Sweden. In the work, we investigate the possibility to optimize the product SCAN COIN CashComplete POS. CashComplete is a closed system that makes it easy to pay with notes and coins and get the correct change back. To make CashComplete more attractive in a self-checkout environment the products price must be decreased. This work fo

This thesis analyses the effect of corruption on Kenya's low and fluctuant FDI inflows. Institutions have increasingly been crucial for all economic aspects, including FDI. As a component of institutions, corruption has been found to 'sand the wheels' of FDI and economic prosperity. To confirm this hypothesis, this paper employed an ARDL model and found that corruption had a negative a
