Background: Posterior fossa tumours (PFT) are the most common childhood brain tumours, and children treated for these tumours are at increased risk of persistent speech, language and/or communication difficulties. Such difficulties have often been described in association with the postoperative complication cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS), but can also occur in children without a period of mutism
Objective: Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has previously shown alterations in cerebral perfusion in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the results have been inconsistent, in particular regarding neuropsychiatric (NP) SLE. Thus, we investigated perfusion-based measures in different brain regions in SLE patients with and without NP invo
The use of a semi-empirical alternative to the standard Washburn equation for the interpretation of raw mercury porosimetry data has been advocated. The alternative expression takes account of variations in both mercury contact angle and surface tension with pore size, for both advancing and retreating mercury meniscii. The semi-empirical equation presented was ultimately derived from electron mic
This article discusses the works of the first two lecturers on natural law in Copenhagen, Henrik Weghorst and Christian Reitzer. Contrary to the existing scholarship which characterises their works as derivative of either Grotius or Pufendorf, the article argues that the character and significance of these works can only be grasped when understood in light of the local intellectual traditions whic
Objective: To study the impact of GH dose and age at GH start in girls with Turner syndrome (TS), aiming for normal height and age at pubertal onset (PO) and at adult height (AH). However, age at diagnosis will limit treatment possibilities. Methods: National multicenter investigator-initiated studies (TNR 87-052-01 and TNR 88-072) in girls with TS, age 3–16 years at GH start during year 1987–1998
WLANs based on IEEE 802.11 are becoming more and more popular both in commercial and residential settings. However, the very success of 802.11 may become a threat to the technology itself. Since there are only a limited number of non-overlapping channels available in the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards, this can lead to interference among WLANs in dense areas. In this paper, we investigate the effects
This article explores the practical implementation of two innovative projects in Denmark and Sweden. The research is motivated by the high political interest for innovations as a modern quick fix to societal problems. Innovations are regarded as an all-round solution; however, research has mainly been focused on technical and economical factors without considering social problem solving. Utilizing
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, was toppled in the Islamic Revolution of 1979. A year later he passed away from lymphoma, a disease he had secretly battled for several years, but still it remains unknown exactly when he was diagnosed with cancer, if he was aware of his condition and who close to him knew about his illness. Following his 1979 exile from Iran, physicians from numerous count
We investigate the impact of a galaxy’s merger history on its system of satellites using the new VINTERGATAN-GM suite of zoom-in hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-mass systems. The suite simulates five realizations of the same halo with targeted ‘genetic modifications’ of a z ≈ 2 merger, but resulting in the same halo mass at z = 0. We find that differences in the satellite stellar mass func
This thesis describes the relations between objects, practices, and individuals. The main objective is to explore the role of artefacts in user-centred participatory design research, specifically for expressing and communicating personal experiences and creating meaning. In a broad sense I draw on experiences from three practices in order to define the scope of the thesis. The first is practice-le
I den svenska brottmålsprocessen intar målsäganden en förhållandevis stark ställning. Målsäganden har, under ett antal i lagen stadgade förutsättningar, rätt till ett processrättsligt deltagande i brottmålsprocessen. Genom en subsidiär åtalsrätt har målsäganden tillerkänts en rätt att föra enskilt åtal när åklagaren beslutar att inte väcka allmänt åtal. För ett begränsat antal brott har målsägandeIn the Swedish criminal process the plaintiff possess a fairly strong position. From a number of statutory prerequisites the plaintiff has the right to participate in the criminal procedural process. Through a subsidiary indictment right, the plaintiff has the possibility to single handedly continue the procedure even though the prosecutor has chosen not to go on with the prosecution. In a few cri
Uganda depends on agriculture to feed its growing population. Deviations and shocks to food supply and production can have severe consequences on the nutritional status of children. In this paper it will be analyzed if the effects of those deviations are observable in the nutritional indicators of birth weight and height-for-age in Uganda. An association was found with height-for-age in children b
Memory is fundamental for multitudinous cognitive functions. The function of current interest is retrieval and the effect it has on the accessibility of stored information. Besides facilitating recall of previously retrieved items, retrieval may also inhibit information that is associated to the same cue as the retrieved items. This study examines the effect of retrieval practice on person memory
Denna uppsats behandlar tidigare förhör som bevis i brottmål och undersöker frågan om när tidigare förhör får föredras som bevis i domstol, tidigare förhörs upptagningsformer och om man kan lita på att de är korrekta samt bevisvärderingen av tidigare förhör. Vittnen, målsägande och tilltalade i brottmål behöver i Sverige som huvudregel framträda personligen för muntliga förhör i domstol. I rätteThis thesis examines the use of previous questionings as evidence in criminal trials and explores when previous questionings are allowed to be presented as evidence in trial, the form of how previous questionings are recorded and if you can trust in their correctness as well as the evidence evaluation of previous questionings. In criminal trials in Sweden; witnesses, injured parties and defendan
The purpose of this thesis was to implement an alternative method to calculate the overlap function, which describe to what extent two protons overlap with each other spatially, into PYTHIA8 in order to determine how it affected the average number of multiparton interactions. The new overlap function is based on an explicit impact parameter picture, whereas PYTHIA8s overlap function uses an implic
Introduction: The knowledge of the diffusion coefficient of a solute in neat carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 mixed with organic solvents is of importance as it correlates to the efficiency of chromatography and extraction processes. Background: Several studies have been found in literature for diffusion coefficients measurements of different solutes in neat carbon dioxide, but to our knowledge rather
The aim of the study is to analyze how mental illness among young people is represented as a social problem in newspapers. A qualitative method has been utilized to analyze 63 different articles published within the period of 2019-01-01 to 2019-06-30 in three of Sweden’s largest newspapers. Additionally, the theoretical framework that has been applied is the theory of claims-making. Furthermore, i
Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har sedan länge särbehandlats inom straffrätten. I Sverige aktualiseras numera särbehandlingen vid påföljdsvalet. För att påföljdsvalet överhuvudtaget ska komma på fråga krävs att gärningspersonen kan tillskrivas skuld; antingen genom uppsåt eller, vid vissa särreglerade brott, oaktsamhet. Eftersom uppsåt inte är objektivt iakttagbart är uppsåtsbedömningen vanligen eMentally disordered offenders have been specially treated in criminal law for a long time. In Sweden, the special treatment occurs when the choice of sanction is decided. The choice of sanction only becomes relevant when the perpetrator is attributed debt; either through criminal intent or, in certain regulations, negligence. Since criminal intent is not objectively observable, the intent assessme
