Context:TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas (TSHomas) are rare. Epidemiological data are scant and there are no reports on national incidence.Objective:The objective of the study was to estimate the national Swedish incidence and prevalence of TSHomas.Design:This was an observational study.Setting:The study was conducted at tertiary referral centers.Patients:The Swedish Pituitary Registry and World H
Research in family medicine is a well-established entity nationally and internationally, covering all aspects of primary care including remote and isolated practices. However, due to limited capacity and resources in rural family medicine, its potential is not fully exploited yet. An idea to foster European rural primary care research by establishing a practice-based research network has been rece
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 12 epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) susceptibility alleles. The pattern of association at these loci is consistent in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers who are at high risk of EOC. After imputation to 1000 Genomes Project data, we assessed associations of 11 million genetic variants with EOC risk from 15,437 cases unselected for family history
Amphiphilic graft copolymers were prepared via the radical copolymerization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) macromonomers with fluorocarbon or hydrocarbon acrylates in toluene with 2,2 ' -azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. H-1 NMR spectroscopy confirmed that the composition of the graft copolymers corresponded well to the monomer feed. For gel electrolytes prepared from the amphiphilic c
The Eae2 locus on mouse chromosome 15 controls the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE); however, in this study we show that it also controls collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). To find the smallest disease-controlling locus/loci within Eae2, we have studied development of CIA in 676 mice from a partially advanced intercross. Eae2 congenic mice were bred with mice congenic
Microscopic colitis (MC) often debuts around or after menopause and is divided into lymphocytic- and collagenous colitis. The aim of this study was to examine whether factors influencing sex hormone levels differed between subgroups of MC as well as between patients and controls. A self-administered questionnaire about parity was completed which included questions surrounding age at first childbir
Embedded computer systems are subject to a multitude of requirements. These include real-time requirements, that is, such computers must respond to external events within limited time. Many systems, such as satellites and telephone switches, must also operate unattended for long periods of time. They must not fail due to defective software. Modern object-oriented programming languages, particular
The app-industry today is ruled by two giants, namely Android and iOS. For companies and developers, it is essential to deliver their product to the majority of users, thus adapting to both platforms. The platforms involve their own way of developing applications and only barely resembles each other. A problem that the industry faces resides here, having to hire staff with knowledge in either Andr
It’s important to have knowledge about the existing conditions before proceeding with various types of construction works. Geotechnical investigations are made to determine the soil properties and one method of doing so is to perform borehole drillings. Such drillings are expensive and unfortunately it’s not always known if similar procedures have been performed in the surroundings. A geotechnical
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda om det finns motsättningar mellan den aktiebolagsrättsliga vinstmaximeringsprincipen och de krav som ställs på vårdgivare utifrån lagstiftning som ska skydda patienters och vårdtagares intressen. Vidare är syftet att undersöka vilken utformning av lagstiftningen som är lämplig och diskutera detta ur ett rättsekonomiskt perspektiv. Vinster i välfärden är en kontrThe purpose of this paper is to investigate whether there are conflicts between the principle of profit maximization in company law and the demands placed on caregivers based on legislation that protects patients and care receivers' interests. Furthermore, the purpose is to examine the design of the legislation and discuss this from a law and economics perspective. Profits that originate from
Bakgrund: I dagens samhälle är stressrelaterad ohälsa ett växande problem. Flertalet studier fokuserar på det rehabiliterande perspektivet av stressrelaterad ohälsa, och få inriktar sig på det preventiva arbetet. Syfte: Utforska hur arbetsterapeuter kan arbeta preventivt för att förebygga stressrelaterad ohälsa. Metod: En fokusgruppstudie som använde en kvalitativ explorativ ansats. Totalt sex perBackground: In today's society stress-related ill health is a growing problem. Multiple studies focus on a rehabilitative perspective on stress-related ill health, while few focus on preventive approaches. Aim: The aim is to explore how occupational therapists can work prevently to reduce stress-related ill health. Method: A focus group study that uses a qualitative exploratory approach. Six p
Purpose: This thesis analyses and assesses how companies in Germany’s DAX 40 demonstrate their adherence to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It evaluates whether these disclosures are mainly substantive, indicating proper strategic integration, or symbolic, aimed primarily at enhancing reputation, and compares their reporting quality to previous international research. Methodology: This rese
Tidigare forskning har visat att patienter inom vuxenpsykiatrisk vård utsätts för kränkningar av vårdpersonal, där dehumanisering och stigmatisering av psykisk sjukdom ses som bidragande faktorer. Denna studie ämnade undersöka om det fanns skillnader mellan anmälningar till Inspektionen för vård och omsorg (IVO) rörande kränkande bemötande jämfört med anmälningar rörande andra bemötandebrister, utPrevious research has shown that patients in adult psychiatric care are subject to abuse by healthcare staff, where dehumanization and stigmatization of mental illness are seen as contributing factors. This study aimed to investigate whether there were differences between reports to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) concerning abusive treatment compared to reports concerning other trea

The goal of the present work is to investigate possible improvements to established shell-model interactions concerning atomic nuclei in the mass A=90, N=Z regime. These investigations consist of generating energy spectra for the isotopes Pd-94, Cd-94, Ag-95, and Cd-95 close to the proton drip line, as well as an investigation of the transition probabilities between selected states in Ag-95. Data
This masters thesis handles segmentation of blood vessels in Wistor-rat lungs, scanned by a µm-CT scanner. These scans are very detailed 3D-volumes and have been rescaled to a more manageable size of 1024 × 1024 × 1024 voxels per volume. The main goals of the thesis is to find a more efficient way to perform segmentation in medical images and thus semi-supervised segmentation techniques have been
Gröna områden i städer, så som parker, alléer och trädgårdar, är mycket mer än bara en trevlig och grön kontrast till den gråa stadsmiljön. De bidrar med flera saker vi ofta tar förgivet i Sverige, bland annat frisk luft, skugga under varma sommardagar och platser för lek såväl som avslapp ning. Tillsammans kallas dessa nyttor för ekosystemtjänster, vilka är livsnödvändiga för oss män niskor såvUrban green spaces provide important ecosystem services that support human well-being and climate adaptation in cities. As urbanisation and densification increases, municipalities face chal lenges in promoting and safeguarding these areas. This study investigates the current methods and tools used by municipalities in southern Sweden to assess urban green spaces with regard to ecosystem service
Att skriva SQL-satser för att hämta användardata är ofta en ansträngande uppgift som kräver god kännedom om hur datainsamlingen fungerar, och hur användare interagerar med applikationen. För utvecklare som endast skriver SQL ibland innebär det mycket kontextväxling och tid som går åt till att åter bekanta sig med dataanalyseringsarbetet. För att lösa detta problemet utvecklades en intern AI-agentWriting SQL to extract usage data is a strenuous task that requires extensive knowledge of logging practices and user interactions within an application. For engineers and developers who write SQL only intermittently, the resulting context switching and re-familiarization can consume valuable work hours. To address this challenge, an internal AI agent was developed to transform natural language i
