Background: Registries of pancreatic surgery have become increasingly popular as they facilitate both quality improvement and clinical research. We aimed to compare registries for design, variables collected, patient characteristics, treatment strategies, clinical outcomes, and pathology. Methods: Registered variables and outcomes of pancreatoduodenectomy (2014–2017) in 4 nationwide or multicenter
The Sámi people are the only recognised Indigenous people in Europe. Historically, they have not only been oppressed and colonialised, but also not been as included in, or consulted on decision-making processes by the governments of the countries they live in. The European Union is seen as a trailblazer for human rights and equality, in addition to being a determined actor within the green energy
Previous research has shown the importance of the CEO letter in a company’s annual report, with it being one of the most widely read parts. Despite this, it is compared to most other parts in the annual report not audited, meaning that the CEO can write whatever they see fit without any precautions. Based on this research, the purpose of this study was to analyse whether the tone of reported infor
Uppsatsen behandlar ett folks självbestämmanderätt samt möjligheten till utträde i en demokratisk kontext. Den redogör i synnerhet för situationen mellan Québec och Canada. För att uppnå syftet utgår uppsatsen från frågeställningar angående (1) relationen mellan Québec och Canada i ett historiskt samt nutida perspektiv, (2) innebörden av rätten till självbestämmande inom folkrätten, (3) möjligheteThis thesis examines the right of a people to self-determination and the possibility of secession in a democratic context, focusing on the Québec-Canada case. To that end, it studies (1) the historic and contemporary relationship between Québec and Canada, (2) the meaning of the right to self-determination within international law, (3) possibilities for unilateral secession, and (4) secession by v
Combined U-Pb and REE trace element LA-ICPMS analyses were performed on zircons, from the scheelite-bearing Wigström skarn, associated micro-granitic dykes and the highly evolved parental Högberget (sensu stricto) granite. Combined systematic of zircon typology and microtextures, trace elements and isotopic chemistry suggest the presence of several diverse zircon types, spanning from early- to lat
The adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court identified for the first time in international criminal law the crime against humanity of persecution on gender grounds. The inclusion was however not uncontested, and especially the term gender was a source of debate during the negotiation process. Because of diverging national positions on what the term gender meant, it was dec
Purpose: This thesis aims at understanding the relationship between regular transnational European supermarkets and their consumers regarding environmental expectations. Theoretical Perspective: This study gathers several theories, from the stakeholder’s perspective to the Say-Do gap, particularly for consumers. The constructed theoretical framework involves four angles such as CSR, retail sector
Following the launch of the infringement procedure against Romania for enacting measures in the food trade industry, the public debate has been whether the rule compelling large retailers to acquire 51% of certain food products placed for sale from a short supply chain that involves a limited number of intermediaries and close geographical and social ties is compatible with EU law. The research ad
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories in the Sherlock Holmes series, yet only two are told from the narrative perspective of Holmes himself. I attempted to compare and contrast Holmes’ narration in The Blanched Soldier and The Lion’sMane withWatson’s narration in A Study in Scarlet. I explored narratological theories and previous research done on Watson’s narration in order to find an expl
The purpose of this study is to examine and understand how dominant gender attitudes are represented in the society and how they influence social institutions and processes, such as labor market and employment. Greater understanding of the several aspects of this phenomenon enables us to gain knowledge on how to deal with it for both the main actors in the labor market: jobseekers and employers. G
This thesis analyzes how mindfulness is translated into a business concept for the organizational realm in Bogotá, Colombia. How does an originally “mystic”, eastern esoteric concept like mindfulness manage to travel into and adapt to a material Western setting, specifically Bogotá? Previous research on mindfulness in businesses often analyzes it as an accepted tool for executives and organization
Inadequate water infrastructural development and high costs of water are few of the many challenges that affect water access in Kibera. Consequently, many alternatives to piped water grew out of necessity to meet the needs of residents. The aim of this thesis is to examine the conditions that have led to poor water provision in Kibera and how transitions to improved water access can be achieved by
The failure or flourishing of companies in their core businesses can often be attributed to events and developments rooting outside their focus of attention. Many research streams are concerned with early detection, interpretation and acting upon these weak signals from companies’ peripheries - with Peripheral Vision by Schoemaker & Day (2006) being one of the most systematic approaches. Due t
In October 2016, the IACtHR issued the judgment of the case of Hacienda Brasil Verde Workers v Brazil. The case concerns the subjection of 85 workers to slavery-like conditions in a private-owned livestock farm located in the north of Brazil. Brasil Verde Workers v. Brazil was the first judgment of the IACtHR on the prohibition of slavery of article 6 ACHR. Moreover, it was also the first time tha
In the last decade, the philosophy behind deliberate practice and traditional learning methods have received criticism for the limitations as a learning method. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of linear and non-linear pedagogical methods for teaching the wide receiver stance and start to adolescents. Pre- and post-test of five-, 10- and 20-meter sprints from a wide receiver st
This study investigates seasonal changes in near-surface wind speeds in the Arctic using the regional climate model (RCM) simulations with RCA4 driven by four global climate models (GCMs) CMIP5 under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. In addition, the RCM RCA-GUESS (RCA4 with interactive vegetation dynamics) is used to investigate the role of biogeophysical feedback
The imbalance between the supply and demand of ecological products between society and ecosystems is an important cause of a series of water ecological problems, and water ecological restoration projects aim to improve the above supply–demand relationship by means of inputs from the social side. For this reason, this paper takes the Yellow River Delta region as an example to launch a study on the
Background People with serious respiratory illness frequently have a high symptom burden and may be prescribed supplemental oxygen therapy with the aims of reducing the severity of breathlessness and improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of oxygen therapy versus no oxygen on 1) breathlessness, 2) HRQoL and 3) ad
One of the most challenging problems in paleoclimate research is how orbital cyclicities forced Earth’s climate variations during the late Quaternary. To address this issue, we investigated the differences in silicate weathering, a sensitive climate indicator, at different latitudes on orbital timescales by examining geochemical and clay mineral data from the mid-latitude Sea of Okhotsk and integr
