BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that urinary tract infections (UTIs) are associated with delayed diagnosis of bladder cancer (BC). Our aim was to investigate prediagnostic treatments related to UTI and the relation to BC diagnostic delay, reflected by advanced disease at diagnosis. METHODS: We used data from the BladderBaSe 2.0 with data of treatments related to UTI up to 3 yr befo
The widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) across energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics is accelerating, yet the safety challenges associated with thermal runaway (TR) events remain incompletely understood. This report presents a structured review of current knowledge regarding flammable and toxic gas emissions from LIBs during TR, the consequences for fi
15-åriga Amanda Todd från Kanada blev utsatt för nätmobbning och trakasserier, så till den grad att hon valde att ta sitt eget liv i oktober 2012. Fallet har fått förvånansvärt lite uppmärksamhet i svenska medier, och nätmobbning är ett fenomen som är relativt outforskat i Sverige. Denna uppsats undersöker mobbningens uttryck i den digitala världen, i åldersgruppen 13-16 år, och hur den skiljer si
Upon marketing the system in Europe and the USA cost savings generated from reduced work force have been prevailing. Since the cost of labour is much lower in the Asia Pacific region other factors have to be stressed. The parameters of flexibility and quality assurance may however cover any initial investment in a production system. Our purpose is to value flexibility and quality in a manufacturin
Research about grammar teaching practices in Sweden has shown that grammar is something which many teachers value. To further facilitate the development of different teaching practices the present thesis hopes to provide teachers with a reference point for how different teaching practices are constructed. The specific aim of the thesis is to discover how grammar teaching practices are influenced b
Marginalized communities in Southern contexts are among those most vulnerable to the effects of our drastically changing climate and environmental systems. Therefore, pathways leading to the transformation of our unsustainable systems, structures, and behaviors affecting these communities must be explored. To achieve transformation, some researchers argue that social learning is one such pathway.
A voluntary EU law was implemented in 2022, which allowed communicative services to monitor all sent messages on their platforms in search of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online. Its proposed successor, infamously called ‘Chat Control 2.0’, expanded these ideas further, demanding communicative services to monitor all sent messages and stored emails in search of CSAM. As the discussions of th
Research suggests maturing adolescents’ development of Internalizing Problems like Anxiety and Depression, might be due to impaired Executive Functions. However, most knowledge on the topic is non-causal, within clinical context and predominantly focused on Executive Functions assessed with performance tasks and not everyday Executive Problems assessed using questionnaires. Therefore, we cond
Bovine mastitis is a disease with a multi-etiological nature, defined as an infection and inflammation of the udder. Mastitis represents a significant ongoing concern in the dairy industry, leading to substantial losses in profits and revenue for farmers worldwide. The predominant causes of bovine mastitis include the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Streptococcus uberi
BACKGROUND: Currently, there are few treatment-predictive and prognostic biomarkers in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is linked to chemoresistance and several important processes involved in tumor progression and metastasis, such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Herein, we report that high CAV1 gene expression is an independent factor of poor prognosis in TNBC.M
A large proportion of women with lymph node negative breast cancer treated with chemotherapy do not benefit from such treatment. Proliferation markers have been shown to recognize patients at high risk for recurrence. Ki67 has recently been included in the St Gallen guidelines. We investigated the prognostic importance of cyclin B1 in node negative breast cancer and included a study of reproducibi
We review the clinical and cytogenetic features of 44 acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs) with t(8;14)(q11;q32), including three from our department and 41 ascertained in the literature, focusing on age and gender distribution, peripheral blood values, immunophenotypic data, survival and additional chromosomal changes. Most patients are children or young adults, with a median age of 10 yr for chi
Cystatin C is believed to prevent tumor progression by inhibiting the activities of a family of lysosomal cysteine proteases. However, little is known about the precise mechanism of cystatin C function in prostate cancer. In the present study, we examined the expression of cystatin C and its association with matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP2) and androgen receptor (AR) in a tissue microarray compa
