This study investigated the birth prevalence of cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) in Sweden between 2000 and 2020 using data from the Swedish National Medical Birth Register, which includes over 97% of children born in the country, and its subregister the National Register of Congenital Anomalies. The dataset included 2,230,771 anonymized children, with the variables year of b

Purpose We aim to investigate how professionals make sense of the culture in the context of PSFs and how they engage in organizational and professional identification. Methodology The researchers look into the sensemaking processes professionals attach to organizational culture from a symbolic interactionism tradition, while from a critical perspective challenging the mainstream assumptions about
Deltidsanställning är vanligt förekommande inom branscher som vård, handel och service, där arbetskraftsbehovet ofta varierar. Samtidigt aktualiserar del-tidsarbete frågor om rättvisa och skydd mot diskriminering. Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om det är förenligt med diskrimineringsförbudet att inte utge samma tillägg vid mertidsarbete som vid övertidsarbete. Uppsatsen tar utgångspunkt i förbudetPart-time employment is common in sectors such as health care, retail and service, where the need of labour often varies. At the same time, part-time employment raises issues of fairness and protection against discrimination. This thesis addresses the question of whether it is compatible with the prohi-bition of discrimination to grant lower additional pay for part-time employees working extra hou
South Korea’s veterinary market has shown strong growth over the recent years. The key drivers of this growth include: Increasing pet ownership, urbanisation and a shifting societal view on pets as family members. This shifted view is what’s called a humanisation of pets. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse and describe the potential market demand for a service offering aimed at supporting ve
The rapid diffusion and application of generative artificial intelligence (AI) have intensified debate about the future of knowledge-intensive professional work. Strategy and management consulting provides a particularly revealing context, as its value proposition has historically rested on the integration, interpretation, and legitimisation of specialised knowledge. This thesis examines how gener
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The incidence of type 1 diabetes increased during the pandemic in various countries. SARS-CoV-2 infections may trigger the development of type 1 diabetes, but the evidence is inconclusive. This study aimed to assess trends in type 1 diabetes incidence between 2007 and 2023, and to quantify the association between SARS-CoV-2 infections and the risk for developing type 1 diabetes.ME
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: The objective was to determine the association between serum IgE levels and the infiltration order of T lymphocytes and macrophages in pancreatic islets in relation to the loss of insulin and glucagon cells in presymptomatic congenic BB Gimap5-DP (Diabetes Prone) rats.MATERIAL: Congenic prediabetes BB Gimap5-DP and control Gimap5-DR (Diabetes Resistant) rats were followed eve
Background and objective: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is an evolving diagnostic tool for prostate cancer. There is a need to harmonise existing guidelines and reporting recommendations for PSMA PET/CT. The Standardised PSMA PET/CT Analysis and Reporting Consensus (SPARC) project aims to consolidate classifications and recommen
By combining ab initio downfolding with cluster dynamical mean-field theory, we study the degree of correlations in monolayer, bilayer, and bulk breathing-mode kagome van der Waals materials Nb3(F, Cl, Br, I)8. Our new material-specific many-body model library shows that in low-temperature bulk structures the Coulomb correlation strength steadily increases from I to Br, Cl, and F, allowing us to i
The process of population ageing that has been occurring in Sweden can be expected to continue during the coming decades, the population pyramid will become increasingly rectangular, and possibly even demonstrating a shrinking base. This will lead to increasing challenges in terms of financing pensions, elderly care and healtcare. These problems will continue for at least 30 years with no demograp
INTRODUCTION: Patients with ulcerative colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis have an increased risk of developing carcinoma both in the bile ducts and in the colon. PURPOSE: To investigate whether this patient group also has an increased risk of developing atrophy and neoplasia in the deal pouch mucosa after construction of a pelvic pouch with an ileoanal anastomosis or a continent Kock ileos
The presentation and underlying pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is complex and heterogeneous. Recent studies attempted to stratify T2D into distinct subgroups using data-driven approaches, but their clinical utility may be limited if categorical representations of complex phenotypes are suboptimal. We apply a soft-clustering (archetype) method to characterize newly diagnosed T2D based on
Aims: Ischaemic coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of mortality globally due to sudden death and heart failure (HF). Invasive coronary angiography (CAG) is the gold standard for evaluating the presence and severity of CAD. Our objective was to assess temporal trends in CAG utilization, patient characteristics, and prognosis in HF patients undergoing CAG at a national level. Me
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) is an emerging tool for predicting need of end-of-life discussion and palliative care, by using mortality as a proxy. But deaths, unforeseen by emergency physicians at time of the emergency department (ED) visit, might have a weaker association with the ED visit.OBJECTIVES: To develop an ML algorithm that predicts unsurprising deaths within 30 days after ED discha
A new generation of octahedral iron(ii)-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes, employing different tridentate C^N^C ligands, has been designed and synthesized as earth-abundant photosensitizers for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and related solar energy conversion applications. This work introduces a linearly aligned push-pull design principle that reaches from the ligand having nitrogen-base
Prediction of the service lifetime of concrete structures with respect to chloride ingress involves a number of parameters that are associated with large uncertainties. Hence, full-scale measurements are strongly in demand. This paper begins by summarizing statistical distributions based on measurements taken from the Gimsøystraumen Bridge in Norway. A large number of chloride profiles are availab
