Periampullary adenocarcinoma, including pancreatic cancer, has a poor prognosis that has not improved in the last decades. Therefore, in order to find more effective treatment regimens, it is necessary to gain more insight into the biology and clinical behaviour of these tumours. This thesis entails a thorough histopathological characterization of retrospectively collected tumours from a consecuti
Architecture is currently facing a period of transformational change which is driven by an increasing awareness of sustainability imperatives combined with technological advancements in the form of digitalisation of design and fabrication processes. These issues both introduce new layers of complexity and necessitate strategies to navigate them. This thesis explores an aspect of this transformatio
At present time, it has been stated that “Human activities, principally through emissions of greenhouse gases, have unequivocally caused global warming, with global surface temperature reaching 1.1°C above 1850–1900 in 2011–2020”. Therefore, understanding the consequences of human activities on present and future climate is one of the most important issues of this century. It is not the first time
I forskningsprojektet Välfärdsstaten analyserad (1945–89) arbetar vi med olika typer av algoritmisk textanalys av storskalig empiri från politikens sfär (digitaliserat riksdagstryck och statliga offentliga utredningar under perioden), dagspress och skönlitteratur. Svensk efterkrigstid är en väl utforskad period, men genom att applicera digitala metoder på kurerade dataset kan politikens, nyhetsmedA hundred million words: Reflections on historical research with large-scale textual datasets as empirical evidenceThe research project Welfare State Analytics: Text Mining and Modelling Swedish Politics, Media & Culture, 1945–1989 uses probabilistic methods and text-mining models to study three massive textual datasets from Swedish politics, news media, and literary culture.

Straight-grade wheat flour (SGF) was substituted with potato powder at the rate of 2.5-10% d.w. A comparison was made for nutritional, antinutrient, and organoleptic attributes of microwave heat-treated potato powder and SGF - potato powder com
Uppehållstillstånd i Sverige kan ges bl.a. på grund av familjeanknytning. Ett av de grundläggande kraven för att uppehållstillstånd på grund av familjeanknytning ska beviljas är kravet på styrkt identitet. Den sökande styrker sin identitet på ett godtagbart sätt, som utgångspunkt genom att uppvisa ett hemlandspass eller annan fotoförsedd identitetshandling utfärdad i hemlandet. Kravet på styrkt idA residence permit in Sweden can be granted for family reunification. In order to obtain a residence permit on the grounds of family ties the applicant must be able to prove his or hers identity. The applicant usually proves his or hers identity with an approved passport or, in some cases, with another type of identity document provided with a picture of the person in question. The requirement of
Antal fordon i trafiken börjar bli allt fler och fler. Detta leder till att vägar behöver underhållas emellanåt. För att åtgärda vägarna så krävs det vägarbetare på plats, 90% av dessa vägarbetare känner oro dagligen på sitt jobb. Anledningen till deras oro är att många trafikanter inte tar någon hänsyn till vägarbetare, de kör aggressivt, hänsynslöst och över hastighetsgränsen. Under åren 2003-20The number of vehicles in traffic is increasing. This means that roads need to be maintained regularly. To repair the roads, road workers are required on site. Ninety percent of these road workers feel anxious daily at their work. The reason for their concern is that many road users do not pay any attention to road workers, they drive aggressively, ruthlessly and over the speed limit. During the y
Omkring 20 procent av alla människor världen över (1,5 miljarder) har inte ett officiellt, juridiskt dokument som bevis på sin identitet. Detta påverkar till exempel deras rösträtt, att öppna ett bankkonto, få formell anställning eller söka juridisk ersättning. Deras brist på bevis på juridisk existens exkluderar dem alltså från att delta på samtliga nivåer i samhället. Denna omfattande problematiAround 20% of all people worldwide (1.5 billion) do not have an official and legally recognized document as proof of their identity. This affect, for example, their right to vote, to open a bank account, obtain formal employment or seek legal compensation. In other words, their lack of proof for their legal existence excludes them from participating in society on all various levels. This was ackno
The conflict mineral crisis has been ongoing in the DRC for nearly two decades, with armed groups and increased military presence have played on the tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold to fund a brutal war across the eastern region of the country. Recent international efforts to tackle such illicit trade in conflict minerals has focused on requiring relevant stakeholders involved in the mineral sourc
The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the EU’s and CJEU’s approach towards exit taxes by finding guidance on how the exit tax rules shall be made to be considered as compatible with the requirements of EU law. The EU law’s presumption of establishing an internal market without boundaries at the frontiers prohibits national measures which hinder, inter alia, the market access. Therefore, the EU’s
Mitt i Öresund ligger Ven, denna ö välkomnar och vinkar av alla förbipasserande fartyg i sundet, med den skånska kusten som sin östra horisont, och den själländska danska kusten till väster. Här möts Nordatlantens saltvatten med Östersjöns sötvatten, strömmarna skiftar i samma takt som vinden i seglen ändrar riktning. Här har jag spenderat många somrar, med min mormor, med vänner, och med kusinerSituated in the heart of Öresund is Ven, this Island welcomes and says farewell to all passing ships. It has the Scanian Swedish coast on its eastern horizon, and the Zealandic Danish coast to its west. This is where the saltwater from the North Atlantic sea blends with the freshwater from the Baltic Sea, where the currents change as the winds in the sails change its direction. On this Island the
The worldwide exponential increase in smartphone penetration has changed the way in which many consumers shop, as their personal device is more frequently used as a shopping tool. Retailers now have to consider the integration of this technology in their omnichannel strategy. While some industries, such as customer electronics, have been highly affected by this trend, m-commerce has not received t
Ett objekt som placeras i det starka magnetfältet i en MR-kamera kommer att bli magnetiserat. Magnetiseringen beskrivs av materialets magnetiska susceptibilitet. Olika delar av hjärnan har olika susceptibilitet vilket gör det möjligt att använda susceptibilitet som en källa till kontrast i MR-bilder. Susceptibiliteten i hjärnan varierar inte enbart med olika vävnader och strukturer utan också med An object in an external magnetic field will be magnetized and the degree of magnetization is dependent of the magnetic susceptibility of the object. The local magnetic field inside and around an object in the MR scanner will change due to the magnetization of the object. The phase shift is proportional to the local magnetic field, which means that phase images hold information about the susceptib
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted in 2015, aim to engage the planet into general efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change worldwide. It consists in an original attempt to engage all groups and individuals by setting targets to be met over the incoming 15 years. One of the biggest innovations of the SDGs has been the consideration of the p
Today world’s cities are in a state of flux exhibiting complex dynamics and at the core of sustainability challenges including climate change and urbanization. At the same time cities have been acknowledged as agents of change when it comes to addressing these challenges. The urgency to address these problems has triggered cities to find smarter and innovative ways to deal with these challenges. C
Straffvärdet intar en central position inom det svenska straffsystemet. Det abstrakta värdet, eller straffskalan, ger en utgångspunkt för beräkningen av straffvärde. Med denna av lagstiftaren fastställda ram som bakgrund ska domstolen i nästa steg, i ljuset av försvårande och förmildrande omständigheter, bedöma en specifik gärnings konkreta straffvärde. Av avgörande betydelse för bedömningen är dePenal value occupies a central position in the Swedish penal system. The abstract value, or range of punishment, provides a basis for the calculation of the penalty. With this frame of legislation established, the court will in the next step assess a specific perpetrators concrete penalty. The assessment of the specific penalty amount will be made in light of how aggravating and mitigating the cir
Background This study was conducted at a business unit at the Company, a leading global consumer goods company based in Europe, working in an increasingly hostile environment due to market deregulation and international competition. The business unit was recently separated from previously being integrated in other units and now have high targets to meet. To reach these targets, the rate of innovat
Pension är något som berör alla, trots detta så väljer många individer att skjuta på de beslut och investeringar som rör pensionssparande. Pensionsval skapar ångest och oro hos många människor. Tyvärr underlättar inte de komplexa valmöjligheterna denna process. Denna uppsats undersöker därför om individers förståelse om finansiell information påverkar de beslut som tas. Uppsatsen har även valt attRetirement is something that affects everyone, but even so, many individuals tend to postpone the investments and decisions concerning retirement savings. Pension planning creates anxiety and concern for many individuals and complex choices do not facilitate this process. This thesis examines whether individuals' understanding of financial information is affecting the decisions they make. It a
Det här arbetets syfte är att ur ett genusrättsvetenskapligt perspektiv undersöka hur diskussionen om samvetsvägran vid abortvård påverkar vår syn på rätten till abort. Min utgångspunkt är att den aktuella frågan handlar om två potentiella mänskliga rättigheter som står mot varandra; rätten till abort och rätten till samvetsvägran vid abortvård. I Sverige har frågan främst aktualiserats genom den The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the discussion on the right to conscientious objection in abortion care may affect our view of the right to abortion. The study is conducted from a gender perspective and the starting point is the contradiction between two potential human rights: the right to abortion and the right to conscientious objection in abortion care. In Sweden, the issue of cons
