BACKGROUND: Our aim was to describe changes in the volume and vascularization of both ovaries, the dominant follicle and the corpus luteum during the normal menstrual cycle using three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler ultrasound. METHODS: Fourteen healthy volunteers underwent serial transvaginal 3D ultrasound examinations of both ovaries on cycle day 2, 3 or 4, then daily from cycle day 9 until foll

We hypothesized that a low grade in physical education (PE) is associated with an increased risk of future musculoskeletal conditions, especially chronic pain. Using a historical cohort study design, we identified all students (mean age 16.0years), who in 1974-1976 graduated from compulsory school in a Swedish municipality and retrieved their PE grades. We ensured that persons were still alive and

Background: Women with current or previous drug use (WCPDU) have an increased risk of poor breast and cervical cancer outcomes. Screening is known to decrease the mortality of these common cancer forms, but screening participation has been sparsely investigated among women with drug dependency. The aim of this study was to assess participation in screening for breast and cervical cancer among WCPD

PurposeIncumbent retail organisations need to develop new capabilities to adapt with the increasingly competitive retail landscape. Despite the growing relevance of innovation in retail practice, the strategic management of innovation in retailing is still vastly under-researched. This explorative study thus aims to investigate how incumbent retail firms can organise for innovation from an organis

Optically pure lactic acid (LA) is important for the development of specialized applications for poly-lactic acid (PLA). To pursue sustainable production, feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass need to be investigated. The present study focused on the production of L-LA from softwood hydrolysate with Pediococcus acidilactici TY112. One of the challenges when using this substrate is the presenc

Within the subject of housing development and management, developments in housing and urban areas are studied from an international perspective. This includes planning, design, production, use and management as well as the relationship between homes and their surroundings, from neighbourhood to city level. The aim is to understand how the process leads to good quality homes and how sustainable dev

Att polisen använder sig av provokativa åtgärder i brottsbekämpningen är i viss mån accepterat i Sverige. Brottsprovokation och bevisprovokation anses vara nödvändiga metoder för att bekämpa allvarlig och organiserad brottslighet och har blivit ett allt vanligare inslag i polisens arbete sedan början av 1980-talet. Sedan dess har även en förändring skett vad gäller inställningen till den provoceraThe use of provocative investigative measures is in Sweden an accepted method in the control of crime. These measures are considered to be essential parts in the fight against serious and organized criminality and have become a more commonly used instrument for the police since the early 1980’s. Since then, there has been a change concerning how a criminal is treated legally after being subject to

Hydroquinone glycosides were produced by transglycosylation reactions catalyzed by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Thermoanaerobacter sp. (Toruzyme (R) 3.0L). The reactions were carried out in an aqueous system containing hydroquinone (HQ) and maltodextrin as acceptor and donor substrate molecules respectively. The conditions for the synthesis of hydroquinone glucoside (alpha-arbutin

Att kunna identifiera outnyttjad byggrätt är en angelägenhet hos såväl privata som offentliga aktörer. För privata aktörer uppstår detta behov exempelvis vid nybyggnadsprojekt och för offentliga kan ett annat behov istället vara att ha bättre koll på sin planberedskap. Att söka och beräkna byggrätten manuellt kan ta tid och för privata aktörer kan detta även leda till missade möjligheter. Ett digiBeing able to identify unused development rights is of interest for both private and public actors. For private actors, this need arises, for example, in new construction projects, and for public actors, another need may instead be to have better control over their planning readiness. Searching and calculating development rights manually can be time consuming and for private actors this can also l

Många personers yrke kräver noggrann rengöring av händer flera gånger dagligen, och det är tydligt att huden tar stryk av detta. En mjukgörande kräm som samtidigt innehåller alkohol för att döda bakterierna hade varit en välkommen lösning för dessa personer. Men för att veta om alkoholen kan påverka krämens stabilitet behöver man veta hur de separata komponenterna samspelar.For personnel working in areas where hand disinfection is important, skin irritation on hands is a large and real problem. A solution may be a hand cream, containing ethanol, with moisturizing properties by using a Pickering emulsion. However, the effect of ethanol on a Pickering emulsion is unknown. The objective of this work was to gain understanding of this by mapping the phase diagram of trigl

The main purpose of the project has been to find the root cause to the failure of a machine component used to secure some vital parts (later on referred to as the pins) of a packing machine. It was already known that the failure had to do with fatigue, but the actual mechanisms were quite unknown. Measurements on the components did not indicate forces that should lead to failure. The components of

(Translated title) Supervisor: Maria Bangura Arvidsson Changes within society have compelled Swedish schools to shoulder a greater responsibility for the children’s social development and problems.

Existing LLM-based approaches remain limited by simplistic task execution, restricted tool integration, and a lack of contextual reasoning when interacting with professional GIS software. This study investigates the efficacy of a multi-agent architecture designed to enhance geospatial task execution accuracy through collaboration, reasoning and tool-use. The architecture integrates Chain of Though

Combinatorial optimization is a powerful way to solve complex problems, like planning, scheduling, or hardware verification, by expressing the problem in a mathematical form using discrete variables that can be solved by general solvers. Due to major advances in algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems, these solvers can tackle real-world challenges efficiently. However, as solve

Gaming disorder (GD) is an addictive disorder with health and social impacts recognized by the World Health Organization. Although the GD treatment evidence base appear to favor cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), knowledge of its common practice elements is limited. This systematic review critically evaluates CBT interventions for GD, encompassing individual, group, and mixed approaches, to ident

Objective: To study factors associated with health-enhancing physical activity in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), stratified by physical function. Method: In 2017, a survey was sent to 1543 patients with RA in the BARFOT (Better Anti-Rheumatic Pharmacotherapy) cohort, and 69% of patients responded. The survey included questions on physical function, pain, fatigue, self-reported disease acti

It is widely recognised that the two major challenges of the 21st century are climate change and poverty. The building sector is responsible for over a third of all global carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, we see vastly overcrowded and rapidly growing informal settlements in developing countries, where people lack the basic right to decent shelter. This is simply not sustainable and forc
