Cosmological models and their parameters are widely debated, especially about whether the current discrepancy between the values of the Hubble constant, H 0, obtained by Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and the Planck data from the cosmic microwave background radiation could be alleviated when alternative cosmological models are considered. Thus, combining high-redshift probes, such as gamma-ray bursts
A search for heavy resonances decaying to a W or Z boson and a Higgs boson in the qq¯(′)bb¯ final state is described. The search uses 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data at s=13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2015 and 2016. The data are in agreement with the Standard Model expectations, with the largest excess found at a resonance mass of 3.0 TeV wit
Sports-related concussions (SRCs) typically occur when the brain is hyperthermic. Acute head-and-neck cooling should, therefore, reduce the brain's metabolic demands, with the potential to improve recovery following an SRC. Elite ice hockey players who underwent head-and-neck cooling after sustaining a concussion (SRC) showed reduced return-to-play times, although further investigation is warrante
BACKGROUND: Risk of bias (RoB) assessment is an essential part of systematic reviews that requires reading and understanding each eligible trial and RoB tools. RoB assessment is subject to human error and is time-consuming. Machine learning-based tools have been developed to automate RoB assessment using simple models trained on limited corpuses. ChatGPT is a conversational agent based on a large
BACKGROUND: Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) are asymptomatic precursor conditions to multiple myeloma and related disorders. Smoldering multiple myeloma is distinguished from MGUS by 10% or greater bone marrow plasma cells (BMPC) on sampling, has a higher risk for progression, and requires specialist management.OBJECTIVE: To develop a
Aim: The type of surgical procedure used in rectal cancer treatment may affect cancer recurrence. The aim of this study was to determine whether the type of procedure influences oncological outcomes in rectal cancer surgery. Method: We gathered data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry regarding patients with TNM Stage I–III rectal cancer who underwent R0/R1 surgery from 2013 to 2017. The o
Objective. Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score based on C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP) is recommended over ASDAS based on erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ASDAS-ESR) to assess disease activity in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Although ASDAS-CRP and ASDAS-ESR are not interchangeable, the same disease activity cut-offs are used for both. We aimed to estimate optimal ASDAS-ESR values corr
Introduction: Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is the standard of care for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study aimed to review SMBG profiles in women with GDM and to examine how glucose metrics derived from SMBG relate to fetal overgrowth and infants born large for gestational age (LGA, >90th percentile). Material and Methods: This was a single-center, historical, obs
Introduction Modern systemic treatment has reduced incidence of regional recurrences and improved survival in breast cancer (BC). It is thus questionable whether regional radiotherapy (RT) is still beneficial in patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN) macrometastasis. Postoperative regional RT is associated with an increased risk of arm morbidity, pneumonitis, cardiac disease and secondary cancer.
A search is presented for a heavy resonance Formula Presented decaying into a Standard Model Higgs boson Formula Presented and a new particle Formula Presented in a fully hadronic final state. The full Large Hadron Collider run 2 dataset of proton-proton collisions at Formula Presented collected by the ATLAS detector from 2015 to 2018 is used and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of Formula
Combination therapies in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), which include the addition of an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor and/or docetaxel to androgen deprivation therapy, have been a game changer in the management of this disease stage. However, these therapies come with their fair share of toxicities and side effects. The goal of this observational study is to report
Background: Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) is a crisis-management intervention standardized for individuals with self-harm at risk of suicide. We analyzed its health-economic consequences. Materials and methods: BA plus treatment as usual (TAU) was compared with TAU alone in a 12-month randomized controlled trial with 117 participants regarding costs for hospital admissions, coercive measur
Syftet med förevarande framställning är att undersöka hur regleringen av hets mot folkgrupp i 16 kap. 8 § BrB och skyddet för yttrandefrihet enligt grundlagarna och Europakonventionen förhåller sig till varandra. Vidare syftar framställningen till att utreda hetslagstiftningens konformitet med skyddet för yttrandefrihet, kraven på rättighetsbegränsande lagstiftning och de intressen hetslagstiftnin
Det står klart att psykiskt våld är ett utbrett problem. Likaså är mäns våld mot kvinnor ett allvarligt samhällsproblem och ett hot mot kvinnors mänskliga rättigheter. Psykiskt våld har behandlats i flertalet lagstiftningsärenden, men aldrig resulterat i en särskild kriminalisering. För att stärka det straffrättsliga skyddet avseende psykiskt våld och synliggöra allvaret med det, har prome-morian It is no doubt that psychological violence is a widespread problem. Likewise, men's violence against women is a serious societal problem and a threat to women human rights. Psychological violence has been touched upon in sev-eral legislative cases, but never resulted in a specific criminalization. To strengthen the criminal law protection regarding psychological violence and enlight the seriou
Denna studie är gjord för att undersöka ungdomars tankar kring musik och text, och då med utgångspunkt från forskningsfrågan: Vad är det som gör en låt "bra" och vilken roll spelar budskap och text i musik för tonåringar idag? Studien grundar sig i ett intresse för budskap i musik och funderingar kring huruvida detta budskap når fram till dagens tonåring. All musik förmedlar något men hu
Denna uppsats undersöker huruvida nuvarande kontrollåtgärder gällande efterlevnaden av kollektivavtal är tillräckligt effektiva, samt hur eventuella ytterligare kontrollåtgärder skulle påverka den bristande efterlevnaden av kollektivavtal samt den svenska modellen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka möjligheter och begränsningar knutna till befintliga och föreslagna kontrollåtgärder gällande eThis thesis examines whether current control measures regarding compliance with collective agreements are sufficiently effective, and how any additional control measures would affect the lack of compliance with collective agree ments and the Swedish model. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the possibilities and limitations associated with existing and proposed control measures regarding comp
In probability theory, the assumption of independence between consecutive events is strong. However, when analyzing empirical data, this assumption is often weak or violated. This thesis investigates whether extreme negative daily returns in stock indices occur independently over time. To address this question, self-exciting Hawkes models are applied to extreme negative returns in two stock indice
