Background: The impact of surgical specialization on long-term survival in patients undergoing emergent colon cancer resections remains unclear. Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted on all patients who underwent emergent colon cancer resections at a secondary care hospital between 2010 and 2020. The most senior surgeon performing the procedures was classified as colorectal surgeon (CS) o

Climate warming is expected to influence the prevalence of vector-transmitted parasites. Understanding the extent to which this is ongoing, or has already occurred, requires empirical data from populations monitored over long periods of time, but these studies are sparse. Further, vector-disease research involving human health is often influenced by disease control efforts that supersede natural t

Introduction Systemic inflammation is postulated to mediate heat stroke and heat-related organ injury, yet acute inflammatory responses among heat-stressed workers remains poorly understood. We aimed to describe neutrophil mobilisation and potential release of DNA during heat stress in multiple hot occupational settings and a controlled experimental setting. Methods Neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio (NL

Objectives: Panax ginseng (P. ginseng, C.A. Meyer) is suggested to improve blood glucose regulation, but evidence remains inconsistent. We examined whether consuming P. ginseng as a preload before a carbohydrate-rich meal modulates postprandial glucose and insulin responses. Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, crossover trial, 22 healthy middle-aged adults consumed P. ginseng tablets containin

De senaste decennierna har sett omfattande kriminalisering av terroristbrottslighet. De flesta av de terroristbrott som har införts i svensk rätt är ett resultat av internationella och EU-rättsliga förpliktelser. Oftast har dessa kriminaliseringsåtaganden inneburit att gärningar på väldigt tidigt förberedande stadium har kriminaliserats. Det senaste i raden av dessa brott, samröresbrottet, kriminaThe last couple of decades has seen extensive criminalization of terrorist crimes. Most of the terrorist crimes that have been implemented into Swedish law are a result of international obligations and obligations derived from membership of the European Union. Mostly, these obligations have meant criminalizing conduct that is very remote from the harm it seeks to prevent. Thus, these crimes have a

Regeringen ansåg att införandet av ett kvinnofridsbrott var en viktig åtgärd för att belysa det våld som kvinnor utsätts för i hemmen och för att höja straffvärdet för den här gärningstypen. Regeringen ämnade genom kriminalisering att markera allvaret i systematiska övergrepp, brott samt kränkningar som begås av en nuvarande eller tidigare partner. Därtill hade regeringen för avsikt att stärka detThe implementation of the crime, gross violation of a women’s integrity was considered to be an important measure to illustrate the violence that women are exposed to in domestic environments and to raise the penal-value for those acts. The government’s intention with the criminalization was to put a mark on the severity of systematic abuse, offence, and infringement that are perpetrated by a curr

I det svenska straffrättsliga systemet finns en lång tradition av att särbehandla unga lagöverträdare. Den vedertagna ideologiska uppfattning som ligger till grund för särregleringen framhåller att unga har en outvecklad ansvarsförmåga, att de besitter en ökad sanktionskänslighet samt att samhället bör visa tolerans för den unges mognadsprocess. För de yngsta lagöverträdarna måste även hänsyn tas In the Swedish criminal justice system, there is a long tradition of treating young offenders differently than adults. The accepted ideological view that underlies the special regulation emphasizes that young people have an undeveloped capacity for responsibility, that they have a greater sensitivity to punishment and that society should show tolerance for the young person's maturation process

From trash to treasure – detta är återbruk Vi lever idag i ett samhälle där ”slit och släng” är vanligt för bland annat kläder, möbler och leksaker. När något går sönder eller en nyare modell finns ute på marknaden slängs många föremål som hade kunnat användas (återbrukas). Att slänga föremål som fungerar eller hade kunnat lagas, skadar miljön. Det finns en tro om att återbruk av föremål inte är fToday we wear and tear objects and materials, in line with the linear economy. By instead reusing, the need for new production decreases, and so the extraction of raw materials, greenhouse gas emissions and generation of waste. By increasing the reuse rate, we can strive towards a circular economy and climb EUs waste hierarchy. The aim of this master’s dissertation was to study different business

För att minska miljöpåverkan och minimera exploateringen av de begränsade tillgångar som finns så krävs en övergång till cirkulär ekonomi. Det innebär minskad materialkonsumtion och mer återanvändning och återvinning av plast och andra material. Förra året producerades i världen 359 millioner ton plast och av det insamlade avfallet i Europa blev endast en tred-jedel återvunnet. Bland de fem mest pTo reduce the environmental impact and minimize the exploitation of the depleting re-sources, the transition to a circular economy is vital. It proposes an economy of reduced ma-terial consumption and increased reuse and recycling of plastics and other materials. Only last year, 359 million tonnes of plastic were produced worldwide and only a third of the col-lected waste in Europe was recycled. A

Även om en av de tre pelarna i hållbarhetstriaden bredvid den ekonomiska och miljömässiga är social hållbarhet (SS) den minst studerade och undersökta. Eftersom dess definition, mätning och drift är föremål för olika tolkningar, tenderar social hållbarhet att undervisa och ibland förbises. Denna förklarande fallstudie undersöker de sociala hållbarhetsaspekterna i det lilla samhället i Greenhouse pAlthough one of the three pillars of the sustainability triad beside the economic and environmental, Social Sustainability (SS) is the least studied and researched. Since its definition, measurement and operation are subject to different interpretations, SS tends to be undertheorized and sometimes overlooked. This explorative case study investigates the SS aspects of the small community of the Gre

Statsvetenskapliga institutionen VT04 Handledare: NN Abstract This essay is looking at the Swedish Ecumenical Programme in Israel-Palestine (SEAPPI), with the purpose of examining if a NGO, as the Ecumenical Accompanier Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) can make a difference in a conflict. This will be done with the support of two different perspectives on NGO. Furthermore, my primary mate

Den kinesiska populärmusikens historia sträcker sig ända till 1900-talets början och den inleds bara drygt 30 år efter den så kallade Tin Pan Alley-periodens början. Den kinesiska populärmusikens utveckling har däremot inte gått jämte den amerikanska och europeiska populärmusikens. Dess historia är relativt outforskad. Denna uppsats redogör för den kinesiska populärmusikens utveckling under 1900-t

The amount of electronic information is growing continuously in the corporate world and companies need to make sure to have a good solution for it to make effective use of time and document handling. A good task management is also an important part of a company’s structure to not create unnecessarily work. With this master thesis we have found a solution where a Workflow-software is implemented to

Because of the increasing demand of low polluting and efficient diesel engines, numerous studies related to the different processes that take place in them are being carried out. This study treats the direct injection of fuel at high pressures (c.a. 1500 bar). Ignition is not simulated in this work since this is intended to be a previous step for future studies which include combustion. A combinat

IKEA is currently in the progress of integrating Business Process Management (BPM) into the current functional organization. In order to investigate how to increase the accuracy of the capacity planning, IKEA saw a need of examining the processes connected to Plan & Secure Capacity, a sub process to the main process Supplying. The purpose of this master thesis is to by using Network Planning m

There is strong evidence that climate change has a direct impact on humans and extreme temperatures have been linked to negative health impacts and increasing mortality. The heat wave of 2018 caused up to 8.2% more deaths compared to the year before in Sweden, with higher impacts in other parts of the world. The fact that people spent almost 90% of their times indoors makes the indoor environment

MAX IV is a synchrotron facility currently running 14 beamlines hosting about 1000 users per year. It is one of the best of its kind; producing high quality Xrays at the forefront of synchrotron science. To have a beamline or a synchrotron functional, every equipment used needs to be placed in the workspace with high precision. In the current setup, this is supported by bluelining, a technique to
