Objective: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a recently introduced treatment modality for post-sternotomy mediastinitis. The aim of this study was to compare the mortality rate, the sternal re-infection rate and the length of hospital stay in patients with post-sternotomy mediastinitis after NPWT and conventional treatment. Methods: We retrospectively analysed 118 patients with post-sterno
Background. The long-term effect of sustained virologic response (SVR) to antiviral therapy on the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver complications, liver-related death, and overall death in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients with liver cirrhosis is not fully known. Methods. These risks were evaluated during long-term follow-up in 351 patients with HCV-related cirrhosi
The auditory brain-stem response (ABR) waveform comprises a set of waves (labeled I-VII) recorded with scalp electrodes over 10 ms after an auditory stimulation with a brief click sound. Quite often, the waves are fused (confluent) and baseline-irregular and sloped, making wave latencies and wave amplitudes difficult to establish. In the present paper, we describe a method, labeled moving-minimum

Measurements of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) in the mid-infrared (MIR) region were conducted on sedimentary records from Lake El'gygytgyn, NE Siberia, and Lake Ohrid, Albania/Macedonia. Calibration models relating FTIR spectral information to biogeochemical property concentrations were established using partial least squares regression (PLSR). They showed good statistical perfor
Conclusion: Alpha B-crystallin was found to be an independent prognostic marker for poor prognosis in oral cavity tumours. For oropharyngeal cancer, alpha B-crystallin had no prognostic value. Objective: The aim of this study was to see if earlier findings of alpha B-crystallin as an independent prognostic marker, and SPARC/osteonectin, PAI-1 and uPA as a prognostic combination for poor outcome in
År 2025 presenterades SOU 2025:2 Några frågor om grundläggande fri- och rättigheter, där en kommitté fick i uppdrag att bland annat utreda om ökade möjligheter bör införas för att begränsa föreningsfriheten i förhållande till kriminella sammanslutningar. Kommittén drog slutsatsen att sådana möjligheter bör införas, och några månader senare presenterades kommittédirektiv 2025:28 Kriminalisering av In 2025, the government presented the report SOU 2025:2, Some Issues Concerning Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, which tasked a committee with, among other matters, examining whether the freedom of association should be restricted in relation to criminal organizations. The committee concluded that such measures should be introduced and a few months later Directive 2025:28, Criminalization of Parti
This study is a discourse analysis on how the term climate justice is constructed in the current Swedish Climate Action Plan (Skr.2023/24:59). The study specifically uses the method: “What’s the problem represented to be?” where the purpose is to shed a light on what kind of problem orientations, assumptions and unproblematized circumstances policy documents consist of and what consequences that c
Frågan om lojalitet och samverkan i avtalsförhållanden mellan näringsidkare har under senare år fått ökad betydelse i svensk avtalsrätt. I takt med att lojalitetsplikten stärkts i rättstillämpningen har även de plikter som följer därav, såsom medverkansplikten, fått en mer framträdande roll. Medverkansplikten präglades under lång tid av oklarhet och bristande definition. Det saknades närmare vägleIn recent years, the issue of loyalty and cooperation in contractual relationships between business operators has gained increased significance in Swedish contract law. As the duty of loyalty has been strengthened in legal practice, the obligations deriving from it, such as the duty to cooperate, have also assumed a more prominent role. For a long time, the duty to cooperate was characterised by v
Uppsatsen behandlar förhållandet mellan plan- och bygglagen (2010:900) och strandskyddsbestämmelserna i miljöbalken (1998:808) vid prövningen av bygglov och förhandsbesked. Fokus ligger på hur strandskyddet påverkar prövningen i plan- och bygglagen och om en sådan påverkan har stöd i lagstiftningen. Frågan aktualiseras mot bakgrund av att plan- och bygglagen innehåller flera hänvisningar till miljThis thesis examines the relationship between the Planning and Building Act (2010:900) and the shore protection rules in the Environmental Code (1998:808) when assessing building permits and advance notice. Mainly focus is on how the shore protection affects assessments under the Planning and Building Act and whether such an impact is supported by legislation. The issue is relevant given that the

Uppsatsen klargör hur den svenska modellen för avtalstolkning är uppbyggd och tillämpas i kommersiella relationer, med särskilt fokus på tolkningsproblem vid användningen av engelskspråkiga juridiska begrepp. Syftet är att klargöra hur avtalsinnehåll fastställs enligt svensk rätt samt att analysera hur principer såsom lojalitetsplikt och skälighet påverkar tolkningsprocessen. Uppsatsen belyser äveThis thesis clarifies how the Swedish model of contract interpretation is structured and applied in commercial relations, with particular emphasis on interpretative challenges arising from the use of English legal concepts. The purpose is to clarify how contractual content is determined under Swedish law and to analyse how principles such as the duty of loyalty and reasonableness influence the int
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a commonly used industrial organism which cannot consume xylose naturally. This is a problem since xylose is a major component in renewable resources, for instance lignocellulose. The Weimberg pathway is a pathway that converts xylose into α-ketoglutarate. It has been successfully integrated into S. cerevisiae, enabling it to utilize xylose. The successful strain had th
Jämfört med många andra industrier så har byggnadsindustrin halkat efter med att implementera digitala lösningar. I dagsläget är det enbart ett fåtal materialleverantörer och tillverkare som erbjuder en tjänst av så kallade digitala BIM-objekt till sina produkter. Dessa digitala produkt kopior kan nyttjas för flera syften i projektmodeller vilket exempelvis gynnar desing-team och entreprenörer. DeThe construction industry has in general been rather slow in its implementation of new digital solutions compared to other industries. To date, only a handful of material suppliers are offering a service of so-called digital BIM-objects of their products. These 'digital product copies' can be utilized in projects' BIM-models for several purposes, being favorable to the design team and
I entreprenadprojekt finns det en risk för att entreprenören av någon anledning avbryter eller befaras avbryta arbetet. En eventuell domstolsprocess avseende fullgörelse av entreprenadavtalet riskerar dock att bli tidsödande och hindra projektets framdrift. Det ligger därför i beställarens intresse att entreprenören, genom förordnande om civilprocessuell säkerhetsåtgärd enligt 15 kap. 3 § RB, kan There is a risk that a contractor discontinues or plans to discontinue the work during construction. Potential court proceedings regarding the performance of the construction contract could be time-consuming and delay the whole project. Therefore, it is in the customer’s interest that the contractor, by a security measure (preliminary injunction), can be required to continue the contract work or p
Japan currently faces a rapid increase in labor immigrants due to the decrease of the population. The number of immigrant children is expected to increase because of the open labor immigration policy. Although the education of immigrant children is very complex, Hamamatsu city and Kani city have implemented successful educational policies to solve the problems of out-of-school children. This resea
This paper examines the state of public transportation in the swedish county of Scania during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through travel statistics from the agency that runs the county’s transit network (Skånetrafiken) it is concluded that travel numbers have decreased dramatically during the pandemic. Two employees at Skånetrafiken are interviewed and asked about what measures the agency has taken dur
I vårdnad, boende och umgängesmål ska domstolen ta hänsyn till barnets vilja, som ett led i bedömningen av barnets bästa. Bedömningen försvåras dock ibland av att barn uttrycker sig på ett sätt som egentligen inte representerar deras verkliga vilja. Vad de uttrycker är istället ett resultat av påverkan från en förälder. Att barn i viss mån påverkas av sina föräldrar när de separerar är oundvikligtIn court cases concerning custody, residence and the child’s visitation rights to a parent, an assessment of what lies in the best interest of the child is made. According to the Parental Code, the court must consider the will of the child in order to make a proper assessment. However, the assessment is complicated by the fact that, sometimes, what children express is inconsistent with their actua
