Background: Peritoneal recurrence (PREC) following nephrectomy for localized renal cancer (RCC) is rare. Our objective was to report a multicenter analysis of PREC to analyze incidence, treatment, survival and risk factors. Methods: Between 1987 and 2023, patients with PREC following radical or partial nephrectomy (PN) for localized RCC across ten European institutions (UroCCR, NKI, IRCCS, Foch an
Objective: To estimate the 12-year risk of radiographic and/or symptomatic knee osteoarthritis following different MRI-confirmed soft-tissue knee injuries. Design: Prospective cohort study including 814 (70 %) of 1129 consecutive patients after acute knee trauma with hemarthrosis in a single hospital. Injuries were classified by sub-acute knee MRI. Follow-up comprised bilateral knee radiography a
Despite significant progress in oncology research, pancreatic cancer remains inherently difficult to treat, and the mechanisms underlying therapeutic resistance remain unresolved. Decorin (DCN), a member of the family of small leucine-rich proteoglycans, has emerged as a versatile actor in various malignant diseases. The aim of this study was to further explore the potential clinical significance
Syftet med förevarande uppsats är att belysa umgängessabotage och dess eventuella konsekvenser. Närmare bestämt avses att undersöka hur ett eventuellt umgängessabotage påverkar tingsrätten i sin bedömning när den har att ta ställning till vad som innebär barnets bästa (se föräldrabalken 6 kap. 2 a §). Umgängesrätten har utvecklats från att vara en rättighet avsedd för den förälder som utan grund hThe purpose of this essay is to highlight the consequences of the situation where one parent without acceptable cause refuses the other parent’s right of access with their child, hereinafter called ‘access sabotage’. The purpose is more specifically to investigate how the situation of access sabotage is affecting the district court in its assessment when it has to consider what outcome will be in
Background and objectives: The transdiagnostic approach states that mental disorders share common psychopathological processes which are expressed in disorder-specific ways. The first purpose of this thesis was to examine the transdiagnostic validity of repetitive negative thinking (RNT) and emotion regulation (ER) difficulties across major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine eco-label knowledge and eco-label trust, and their relationships to planned sustainable behaviour. This will be done by investigating the Swedish market and more specifically eco-labelled food within the FMCG sector. Methodology: This thesis adopted a deductive research approach which follows a quantitative research method. The data was coll
In order to maximize the biomass yield in fed-batch cultivations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a pulse feeding strategy originally developed by Mats Åkesson at the department of automatic con-trol (Åkesson, 1999), was implemented. The controller was intended to keep the specific glucose uptake rate, qs, below the critical specific glucose uptake rate qs crit , to avoid over-flow metabolism. Simulat
As the need of environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels is growing bigger, so is the need for knowledge and research around possible new raw materials that could serve that pur-pose. One discussed product is biogas. Since biogas can be produced from not only food waste and wastewater residue, but from any substrate that contains fats, proteins and/or car-bohydrates, with the help of d
In modern day society the increase of data generation and transfer has been an issue that researchers are working on. This generated and shared data might have a different purpose but one thing is certain, the reception. This communication can cover continents, countries, cities or even just a few meters. For the purpose of the later, personal area networks (PAN) have been created with a main focu
Målbolagsstyrelsen har en viktig ställning vid offentliga uppköpserbjudanden, och åläggs enligt den aktiemarknadsrättsliga regleringen vissa förpliktelser som syftar till att skydda målbolagets aktieägares intressen. Till dessa förpliktelser hör att ta ställning till budgivarens förfrågan om att genomföra en due diligence-undersökning av målbolaget samt att besluta om omfattningen av en sådan undeThe board of a target company has an important role in a takeover situation. Due to the takeover regulations, when a takeover bid is made on the company, the target board undertakes certain obligations aimed at protecting the target company’s shareholders. These obligations include taking a position on the offeror’s request to do their due diligence regarding the target company, and to decide on t

Background: Obesity among women of childbearing age is a rising public health concern due to risks of adverse outcomes and long-term obesity for the mother and child. Addressing maternal obesity through effective lifestyle interventions is important and understanding the challenges that accompany successful behaviour change may assist in ensuring long-term health benefits. Aim: To explore obese wo
The undrained shear strength of cohesive soils is an important parameter to assess in geotechnical investigations. It is normally evaluated with the cone penetration test (CPT) but problems with penetrating coarse, heterogeneous materials that is also hard, such as clay till, have pointed the interest towards other possible in-situ methods. This has led to studies assessing the possibility to eval
Lipases are the main fat digestive enzymes present in the digestive system of many animals, microorganisms and plants. Probiotic microorganisms that can possibly produce enzymes are of crucial importance since it can have an effect on human health. Two of the main probiotic strains are Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Biffidobacterium longum, in each there was a putative lipase encoded on the DNA and t
Kristianstadsslätten breder ut sig i nordöstra Skåne och in i sydvästra Blekinge med sin komplicerade och varierade geologi. De komplexa förhållandena leder till att det finns ett flertal akvifärer i både jordlager och berggrund, där den mest vattenförande formationen är den av glaukonitsand. Syftet med arbetet har varit att undersöka vilket infiltrerat vattenflöde, vid vilket pumptryck, en brunn Kristianstad plain stretches from the northeast of Scania to the southwest of Blekinge with a complicated and varying geology. The complexity has resulted in multiple aquifers in both soil and bedrock, where the highest amount of withdrawable groundwater is in the formation of glauconite sand. The aim of this paper has been to investigate which infiltrated water flow at a certain pumping pressure,
Chemical hazard assessment is a procedure in chemical regulation to set which concentrations of chemical substances that are safe to an ecological system, i.e. where a majority of the species in the systems is not negatively affected by the substance. The Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) is an assessment model to estimate hazardous concentration based on toxicity data from representative spe
A model is used to describe a system physically or mathematically and to give information about changes in the system variables. Physical knowledge about the system and its quantities can be useful to build a physical model obeying the laws of nature. However, if the system is to be regarded as a black box with only input and output signals, system identification can be used to fit a mathematical
