Importance: Identification and preservation of parathyroid glands (PGs) remain challenging despite advances in surgical techniques. Considerable morbidity and even mortality result from hypoparathyroidism caused by devascularization or inadvertent removal of PGs. Emerging imaging technologies hold promise to improve identification and preservation of PGs during thyroid surgery. Observation: This n
BACKGROUND: Autistic people are more likely to report problematic alcohol and other substance use when compared to the general population. Evidence suggests that up to one in three autistic adults may have an alcohol or other substance use disorder (AUD/SUD), although the evidence base for behavioural addictions is less clear. Autistic people may use substances or engage in potentially addictive b
Background: Cleft lip with cleft palate (CLP) is a congenital condition that affects both the oral cavity and the lips. This study estimated the prevalence and mortality of CLP using surveillance data collected from birth defect registries around the world. Methods: Data from 22 population- and hospital-based surveillance programs affiliated with the International Clearinghouse for Birth Defects S
Background: Despite being the gold standard of research to determine effectiveness, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) often struggle with participant recruitment, engagement and retention. These issues may be exacerbated when recruiting vulnerable populations, such as participants with mental health issues. We aimed to update understanding of the scope of these problems in trials of health techn
This thesis is concerned with history within Nick Clegg’s and Nigel Farage’s political discourse during the six months leading up to the 2016 referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership in the European Union. Using Thematic Analysis combined with Klas-Göran Karlsson’s typology of the use of history, Jörn Rüsen’s typology of historical narrative and drawing on the theoretical framework of histori
This thesis is essentially a project in theory- and method-building. It engages the strengths of Vaughan-Williams’ alternative border imaginary under the name of the generalised biopolitical border (GBB) in accounting for the complexity of border phenomena in contemporary global politics. However, it identifies two major shortcomings related to Vaughan-Williams’ application of the GBB to various e
Uppsatsen undersöker småbolagseffekten under tidsperioden 1996-2005 på stockholmsbörsen. Inget statistiskt säkerställt samband mellan bolagens storlek och deras avkastning gick att finna. Detta till trots fann undersökningen tendenser till vissa mönster som skulle kunna härledas till småbolagseffekten enligt tidigare studier. Undersökningsmetoden var av kvantitativ natur och baserades på en jämför
The thesis explores the interaction between patent rights for Standard Essential Patents(SEP) and competition law, particularly Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union(TFEU), within the context of the European Union(EU) , and compares this interaction with the relevant provisions in the proposed EU SEP regulation COM(2023)232. Three research questions will be discussed:
The steel industry is one of the most polluting industries globally. There exists an EU waste shipment proposal that aims to restrict the EU export of waste in order to raise safe, environmental standards and circularity within the EU. Under this proposal, steel scrap is defined as waste and since the EU is the largest exporter of steel scrap globally, this has implications for the EU steel indust
Knitting is a craft that has existed for many years giving it a rich history. The popularity of knitting has never been steady and has risen and fallen throughout the years, albeit now readily associated with older generations. It is safe to say that knitting is currently going through a revival in Denmark, especially young women have picked it up, seemingly taking the popularity of knitting to ne
Water is arguably the world’s most valuable endangered resource, the management of which has been subject of contentious debate that in recent years has gained growing political, economic and media attention. This study intends to make use of that momentum by constructing a framework for quantifying global water crisis risk that is applied to assess both the EU’s share of such risk and the success
According to Chapter 2 Section 2 of the Swedish Tort Liability Act, pure economic loss arising in non-contractual relations shall be compensated if the tortfeasor has caused the loss through the commission of a crime. Although never intended, until recently, the general view was that in the absence of legislation, damages could only be awarded for pure economic loss outside contractual relations i

Detta examensarbete knyter an till min utbildningsbakgrund, eftersom området som undersökts relaterar till erfarenheter från åren jag studerade klassiskt piano vid Birmingham Conservatoires (B.C.) musikerutbildning. Sedan studietiden i England, upplever jag att när musikstuderande befinner sig i ett främmande land, får de nya perspektiv på varifrån de kommer och börjar ifrågasätta, jämföra och refTitle: The thing with music reading This thesis relates to my educational background, why the studied area connects to experiences from when I studied classical piano performance at Birmingham Conservatoire. Since my time in England, I believe that when music students are situated in a foreign country, they will gain a new perspective on their origin and therefore, start to question, compare and r
Med start år 1967 har folkrätten fått en rad tillskott av multilaterala överenskommelser genom uppkomsten av en ny typ av traktat. Dessa traktat har skapats för att stifta så kallade kärnvapenfria zoner och är i grunden folkrättsligt bindande överenskommelser som etablerar komplett nedrustning av kärnvapen inom ett geografiskt avgränsat område. Det internationella samfundet har under flera decenniSince 1967, public international law has had many treaty additions through so-called nuclear weapon free zones, treaties that have been created through legally binding agreements to pursue complete nuclear disarmament within a geographically defined area. The international community has for decades discussed the establishment of such a zone in the Middle East, but without prompting any concrete ac
H+ projektet i Helsingborg är ett stadsförnyelseprojekt som omfattar den centrala södra delen av staden. Projektet startades år 2002 och merparten förväntas vara bebyggt med bostäder, kontor och offentlig service år 2035. En miljon kvadratmeter mark som tidigare använts som hamn- och industriområde ska utvecklas, förnyas och länkas samman med centrum, söder och omkringliggande områden. Det första
