Background and objective: The impact of a smoking and alcohol cessation intervention on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following radical cystectomy (RC) is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a 6-wk perioperative smoking and/or alcohol cessation intervention on HRQoL. A secondary objective was to assess the difference in HRQoL between patients with more than two and those w
Purpose: High-risk colon cancer may benefit from preoperative chemotherapy (preCHT), but evidence on its short-term safety and outcome is limited. Population-based evidence before its incorporation into national guidelines is lacking. Methods: Patients with final weighted stage II–III colon cancer undergoing elective resection between 2007 and 2017 were identified in the Swedish Colorectal Cancer
This article provides a step-by-step guideline for measuring and analyzing visual attention in 3D virtual reality (VR) environments based on eye-tracking data. We propose a solution to the challenges of obtaining relevant eye-tracking information in a dynamic 3D virtual environment and calculating interpretable indicators of learning and social behavior. With a method called "gaze-ray casting," we

Gender tests in sports have become increasingly popular amongst sports gov-erning bodies. Even the International Olympic Committee only recently, in March 2026, introduced a new rule requiring female athletes to undergo ge-netic testing to be allowed to compete in the female category. This article ex-amines gender testing in sport and the question of whether these regulations violate the human rig
Purpose: This study explores how employees from the three different diversity groups, individuals with mental health issues, neurodivergent employees and women with gendered care responsibilities, interpret return to office (RTO) policies and how these interpretations shape the employer-employee relationship. Methodology: This study presents a qualitative, interpretivist thesis grounded in symbol
This essay examines through semiotic analysis the femininity of two female characters, Toph and Katara, from the tv-series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008), as well as how colonialism, ableism, and disability are represented and resisted. It further analyzes if the two female characters’ femininities follow or go against hegemonic gender norms. This study draws primarily on Gillian Rose’s (2

This thesis deals with language mixing in 20th century Japanese jazz, particularly the use of English. There have been multiple studies conducted on the language mixing phenomenon in Japanese pop-music (J-pop), a popular genre in Japan today. The results showcase that English is frequently used in J-pop, both inter-sentential and intra-sentential code-switching. The use of English has also been sh
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling var att undersöka olika aspekter på intersubjektivitet, metakognitiv utveckling och mellanmänsklig förståelse. Mer precist var syftet att undersöka hur några specifika teorier – mentaliseringsteorin, teorin om primär intersubjektivitet, samt interaktionsteorin – beskriver vilken roll intersubjektivitet har att spela i denna utveckling. De förThe aim of the thesis was to examine different aspects of the role of intersubjectivity in metacognitive development and in social understanding. More specifically, it investigates how different theoretical frameworks, such as mentalization theory, the theory of primary intersubjectivity, and interaction theory describe the developmental role of intersubjectivity. The suggestions these theories ma
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tuberkulos (Tbc) är en sjukdom som plågat mänskligheten sedan årtusenden före Kristi födelse. Bakterien som orsakar Tbc sprids från person till person företrädesvis via luftvägarna. En tredjedel av världens befolkning tros vara smittad; ca 10% av dessa utvecklar aktiv Tbc någon gång under livet. Totalt insjuknar årligen ca 8 miljoner personer i Tbc; 2 miljoner av dem döTuberculosis (TB) has plagued the humanity for several thousands of years. The bacteria causing TB is mainly spread from person to person as an aerosol transmission. It is estimated that one third of the world’s population is infected with the disease; about 10% of these will develop active TB during their lifetime. In year 2000, 8 million TB-cases were detected, of which 2 million died. Except fo
The European steady-state Simple Mass Balance (SMB) model and the dynamic soil acidification model SAFE were used to assess the risk of future forest soil acidification in Switzerland. 2010 deposition forecasts on a 150x150 km grid resolution as well as corresponding ecosystem protection levels were obtained from RAINS model runs based on the 1999 Gothenburg Protocol obligations under the UN/ECE L
The biochemistry and molecular genetics underlying the related carbohydrate blood group antigens P, P(k), and LKE in the GLOB collection and P1 in the P blood group system are complex and not fully understood. Individuals with the rare but clinically important erythrocyte phenotypes P(1)k and P(2)k lack the capability to synthesize P antigen identified as globoside, the cellular receptor for Parvo
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) develops upon exposure to certain chemical compounds termed skin sensitizers. To reduce the occurrence of skin sensitizers, chemicals are regularly screened for their capacity to induce sensitization. The recently developed Genomic Allergen Rapid Detection (GARD) assay is an in vitro alternative to animal testing for identification of skin sensitizers, classifying
Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes är en världssjukdom – om 50 år räknar det internationella diabetesförbundet med att en tiondel av världens befolkning har någon form av diabetes. Diabetes innebär att kroppen inte kan ta hand om allt socker som man äter. Detta medför att sockerhalten i blodet blir för högt. Högt blodsocker gör att kroppens celler arbetar konstant, och om blodsockret är för högtThe primary aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in insulin secretion and beta-cell survival. The second aim was to determine which pathway is involved in insulin release and beta-cell protection via GPCRs. This has been investigated in three different studies, which concluded the following: Study 1) GPR30 is expressed in female mice pancreatic isle
An overview of the present knowledge about succinate:quinone oxidoreductase in Paracoccus denitrificans and Bacillus subtilis is presented. P. denitrificans contains a monoheme succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase that is similar to that of mammalian mitochondria with respect to composition and sensitivity to carboxin. Results obtained with carboxin-resistant P. denitrificans mutants provide inform
There is today a lack of clinical techniques for detecting acute hypotension during conventional hemodialysis treat -ment, despite the fact that hypotension remains the - mosr common acute complication during hemodialysis. Hypotension is often followed by nausea, vomiting, and even fainting, not only strenuous for the patient but requires considerable attention from the nursing staf. The problem o
