OBJECTIVE: To compare the capacity of transvaginal Doppler ultrasound examination with that of gray scale sonography as an aid in distinguishing benign and malignant pelvic tumors of suspected adnexal origin. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred and fifty-one women scheduled for laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery because of a pelvic mass of suspected adnexal origin underwent ultrasound examination including
Background Combined oral contraceptives are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a cause of cervical cancer. As the incidence of cervical cancer increases with age, the public-health implications of this association depend largely on the persistence of effects long after use of oral contraceptives has ceased. Information from 24 studies worldwide is pooled here to inves
Denna uppsats undersöker gemenskapens uttryck och möjligheter i ett allt mer digitaliserat landskap. I takt med att allt fler relationer och kommunikationer förflyttas till den digitala sfären väcks frågor om vilka förutsättningar det sociala sammanhanget har där. Studien analyserar digitala funktioner och strukturers villkor och förutsättningar för sociala praktiker. Uppsatsen utgörs av en fallst
Victim of a perpetrator´s desires - A qualitative study of how women and girls who have been murdered and raped or murdered on basis of sexual motives are portrayed in the Swedish news press. The aim of this study was to examine how women and girls who have been murdered and raped or murdered on basis of sexual motives are portrayed in swedish newspress. 75 articles have been studied. My choice
This thesis is concerned with history within Nick Clegg’s and Nigel Farage’s political discourse during the six months leading up to the 2016 referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership in the European Union. Using Thematic Analysis combined with Klas-Göran Karlsson’s typology of the use of history, Jörn Rüsen’s typology of historical narrative and drawing on the theoretical framework of histori
The EU has over the years tried to implement a common European identity to legitimize its increased sovereignty in Europe. In present time, nationalist movements have been assembling in European countries which seem to contradict the aimed effect of the European identity. This thesis examines the outspoken nationalist group Identity and Democracy in the European Parliament and how they portray the
Syfte: Studien undersökte om det fanns signifikanta skillnader mellan flickor och pojkars språkliga förmåga i årskurs två, i syfte att lyfta diskussionen kring sammansättning av normeringsgrupper för logopediskt testmaterial. Vidare undersöktes även korrelationen mellan testresultaten och deltagarnas ålder samt hur mycket kön, ålder och flerspråkighet kunde tänkas påverka variationen i deltagarnas
Lithuania like other Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries has undergone major changes from the communist socio-economic order to the system based on democratic capitalism. This shift towards market economy and the collapse of communist ideology were also reflected in higher education (HE) reforms. Since political parties are the main actors in modern democracies, partisan politics could in
Around the world, the treatment of food waste is a major administrative and environmental problem throughout the food supply chain. Beijing, as any other mega city, is facing vast issues of sustainable food waste treatment in addition to efforts for food waste reduction. Presently the majority of Beijing's food waste is treated together with the mixed residual waste in landfills (53%) and inci
The purpose of the study is to examine and gain an understanding of newly graduated social workers' experiences during the establishment phase as new social workers in social assistance. The study is based on a qualitative interview study where 6 newly graduated social workers on financial assistance from three different municipalities in southern Sweden have been interviewed. The results have
Unga lagöverträdare upp till tjugoett år har sedan länge särbehandlats i den svenska straffrätten. Detta kommer främst till uttryck genom den så kallade ungdomsreduktionen i 29 kap. 7 § BrB, vilken bland annat motiveras med unga lagöverträdares outvecklade ansvarsförmåga och större sanktionskänslighet i relation till vuxna. Ungdomsreduktionen slopades delvis den 2 januari 2022 och unga lagöverträdYoung offenders up to twenty-one years of age have during a long time been treated differently in Swedish criminal law. This has mainly been expressed through the, so-called, youth reduction, which applies to young offenders up to twenty-one years of age in general. The youth reduction is motivated by, among other things, young offenders undeveloped ability to take responsibility and the fact that
Work-related threats and violence is a common problem that many social workers have to handle frequently. The definition of this phenomenon is ambiguous and social secretaries have to learn how to handle these types of situations. This bachelor thesis will focus on how they perceive this and how they cope with it, as well as the consequences of their perceptions and coping strategies. To answer th
Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improvi
Many extensions of the Standard Model posit the existence of heavy particles with long lifetimes. In this Letter, results are presented of a search for events containing one or more such particles, which decay at a significant distance from their production point, using a final state containing charged hadrons and an associated muon. This analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions at
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the H -> WW(*()) -> lvlv (l = e.mu) decay mode is presented. The search is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1) at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected during 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess of events over the expected background is o
ObjectiveTo assess the role of the placental arterial Doppler examination at 23-24 gestational weeks for predicting adverse perinatal outcome in high-risk pregnancies. DesignRetrospective register study. SettingSkane University Hospital in Malmo. PopulationSix hundred and forty-five women with high-risk pregnancies, without fetal malformations or chromosomal abnormalities. MethodsPlacental (uterin
Family caregivers in palliative care have a need for knowledge and support from health professionals, resulting in the need for educational and supportive interventions. However, research has mainly focused on the experiences of family caregivers taking part in interventions. To gain an increased understanding of complex interventions, it is necessary to integrate the perspectives of health profes
BACKGROUND: Patterns of spatial variation in discrete phenotypic traits can be used to draw inferences about the adaptive significance of traits and evolutionary processes, especially when compared to patterns of neutral genetic variation. Population divergence in adaptive traits such as color morphs can be influenced by both local ecology and stochastic factors such as genetic drift or founder ev
Knowledge about the need for care of elderly individuals in community dwellings and the factors affecting their needs and support is limited. The aim of this study was to characterize the frailty of a population of elderly individuals living in community dwellings in Sweden in relation to co-morbidity, use of drugs, and risk of severe conditions such as malnutrition, pressure ulcers, and falls. In
Two searches for supersymmetric particles in final states containing a same-flavour opposite-sign lepton pair, jets and large missing transverse momentum are presented. The proton-proton collision data used in these searches were collected at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 8TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1). Two lept
