To make surgery more precise and to shorten anesthesia-times for children undergoing surgery for Hirschsprung’s disease, ultra-high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) has been suggested to replace peroperative biopsy. The study’s aim was to determine quantitatively whether aganglionic and ganglionic bowel segments could be distinguished by UHFUS. Bowel specimens of 23 children operated on for rectosigmo
Background: Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) is an effective and accessible treatment for mild to moderate depression and anxiety disorders. However, up to 50% of patients do not achieve sufficient symptom relief. Identifying patient characteristics predictive of higher post-treatment symptom severity is crucial for devising personalized interventions to avoid treatment fail
A complete set of all optical phonon modes predicted by symmetry for bixbyite structure indium oxide is reported here from a combination of far-infrared and infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry, as well as first principles calculations. Dielectric function spectra measured on high quality, marginally electrically conductive melt grown single bulk crystals are obtained on a wavelength-by-wavelength
Objective To evaluate any association of the presence and severity of nine major symptoms (pain, tiredness, drowsiness, nausea, appetite, breathlessness, depression, anxiety, and perceived well-being) with sleep quality and duration in elderly men.Design and setting Cross-sectional analysis within the population-based VAScular and Chronic Obstructive Lung disease study (VASCOL) conducted in southe
Introduction: The first-line evidence-based treatment for chronic pain is multidisciplinary treatment involving pain-focused CBT. Studies have shown that changes in psychological flexibility (PF) during pain-focused CBT positively mediatesoutcomes, even when the treatment does not specifically target PF. While CBT and PF-based treatments for chronic pain yield small to moderate, but clinically mea
Meeting the goals set out in the Paris Agreement will require rapid and deep reductions of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) across all sectors of the global economy. Like all major societal transformations, this climate transition will impact both social and technical aspects of society and, depending on how it evolves, will reallocate social and economic benefits and costs differently. Recognising
The opening seconds of Emily Wardill’s film Identical (2023) are simple and elemental: the seductive play of light on water. Or, put another way, the film begins by depicting the moment where one thing bends, reflects and distorts another – and is seen differently as a consequence. This jewel-like mirage is doubled across a second screen. Initially, each image appears indistinguishable from the ot

BACKGROUND: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare multisystem autosomal dominant disorder caused by pathogenic variants in either the TSC1 or TSC2 gene. Common manifestations of TSC have been grouped into major and minor clinical diagnostic criteria and assessed in clinical routine workup. However, case studies point towards the existence of rare disease manifestations and to the potential as
Respiratory symptoms are ubiquitous and impair health-related quality of life in people with respiratory disease. This European Respiratory Society (ERS) task force aimed to provide recommendations for symptomatic treatment in people with serious respiratory illness. The ERS task force comprised 16 members, including representatives of people with serious respiratory illness and informal caregiver
Compression ignited engines generally have higher efficiency than spark ignition engines. However, the most common combustion concept in compression ignited engines, conventional diesel combustion, struggles with high levels of particulate matter and NOx emissions. Therefore, new combustion strategies are used in compression ignited engines to reduce engine-out particulate matter and NOx emissions
The extensive fouling common in the food industry puts high demands on equipment cleaning. The adsorption of β-lactoglobulin and its removal by the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) were followed at pH 6.0 using in situ ellipsometry. Hydrophilic chromium oxide and stainless steel together with hydrophobic methylated silica were studied at different temperatures. Differences between
Background and aim: The popularity of remote and blended teachings in physiotherapy higher education is increasing. Initial evidence suggests that these methods are as effective as face-to-face teaching for theoretical and practical skill learning in physiotherapy; however, further research is required. Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study. Three groups of physiotherapy students und
BACKGROUND Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) for human use have advanced globally with the rapid adoption of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies in haemato-oncology. CAR-T cell therapy and ATMPs have unique, significant acute and chronic toxicities, and appropriate patient care is crucial. Significant challenges, including the need for nurse education and training, accompa
Background: Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are suggested to impair immune function in children. Previous studies investigating associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and common infections were performed in background-exposed populations whilst studies from high-exposed populations are lacking. Objectives: To investigate the association between prenatal PFAS exposure from contaminated
BACKGROUND: Existing conceptions of teaching quality assume that classroom interactions serve as the foundation for effective teaching. The resulting data necessitates analytical approaches capable of extracting the semantics of these interactions.AIM: This study investigates whether and to what extent lesson semantics provide insights into teaching quality (i.e., cognitive engagement, encourageme
Uppsatsen behandlar efterbeskattning genom följdändring utifrån två nyligen avgjorda mål om tryckerimoms. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, baserat på avgörandena, utreda i vilka situationer som efterbeskattning till nackdel för en enskild kan aktualiseras. För att uppnå syftet besvaras två frågeställningar: - Har HFD:s avgöranden utvidgat följdändringsbestämmelsen? -Vilket utrymme finns det att användThe thesis treats the subject of additional taxation and is based on two recent rulings from the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden. The purpose of the thesis is, based on the rulings, to investigate in what situations additional taxation can be imposed against a taxpayer. In order to do that there are two questions that will be answered: - When it comes to the rule of additional taxation - ha
Aim: To investigate the effect of general anaesthesia on the TCI-dosage, the depth of anaesthesia and the need for hemodynamic treatment. A comparison between general anaesthesia (GA) alone and general anaesthesia combined with epidural anaesthesia (GA+EDA). Background: There are some uncertainties in the literature whether epidural anaesthesia has any effect on general anaesthesia governed by Ta
The loss and degradation of forest ecosystems pose a major challenge to global sustainability. Forests deliver vital ecological and social benefits; however, their governance is particularly demanding because they constitute common-pool resources. Although a growing body of research shows that Indigenous communities have developed effective and sustainable forms of forest governance, comparatively
This paper is about how households with a lower income in the neighbourhood Söder in Helsingborg experience the urban renewal H+ in Söder, and how this relates to Helsingborg municipality’s intentions with the urban renewal H+. More specifically, the study focuses on Oceanhamnen which is one of four projects within H+. The questions at issue were examined by performing a document analysis and a su
