Background: Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Despite successful control of the primary tumor, metastatic disease will ultimately develop in approximately 50% of patients, with the liver being the most common site for metastases. The median survival for patients with liver metastases is between 6 and 12 months, and no treatment has in randomized trials eve

Inom ramen för det svenska forskningsprojektet Taktik och metodik vid brand i undermarksanläggningar har ett enkelt planeringsverktyg utvecklats som bl a erbjuder stöd till beslutsfattare involverade i planeringen av räddningsinsatser i väg- och järnvägstunnlar. Verktyget, som har utvecklats vid Lunds universitet, heter TuFT och är en förkortning av Tunnel Fire Tools. TuFT kan beskrivas som ett myWithin the Swedish research project Rescue tactics and methodology during fires in underground facilities, a simple decision support tool has been developed. The tool can, for example, aid decision makers involved in the early phase of road and rail tunnel fire risk assessments. The tool has been developed at Lund University and has been termed TuFT, which is an abbreviation for Tunnel Fire Tools.

Today’s global competition forces manufacturing companies to re-evaluate their existing processes, technologies, manufactured parts and services in order to focus on strategic activities. The question whether to make or to buy goods or services represents a problem faced by many companies when deciding between keeping technologies/processes in-house or purchasing them from an outside supplier. In

This Master's thesis is a part of the present EC-project called WWAAC, World Wide Augmentative and Alternative Communication. WWAAC is a co-operation between a few companies and organisations in Europe that aim for making a larger part of Internet services more accessible for people with communication difficulties. The users are often not capable of reading, writing or speaking so they may use

Popular culture and tourism are intertwining. The use of film and literature amongst destination marketing organisations is a global trend, but how can we understand this phenomenon and all the processes involved? Up to now popular culture and tourism have been researched mainly from a single media perspective. However, it is difficult to separate the impact of one media product from that of anoth

Low androgen levels may contribute to sexual dysfunction in women after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). However, data on serum androgens in women after alloHCT are limited. The aim of this study was to assess androgen levels and their association with chronic GvHD (cGvHD) and glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. Included were 65 allografted women, 33 with cGvHD, and 23 of these we

The carbon sink potential of peatlands depends on the balance of carbon uptake by plants and microbial decomposition. The rates of both these processes will increase with warming but it remains unclear which will dominate the global peatland response. Here we examine the global relationship between peatland carbon accumulation rates during the last millennium and planetary-scale climate space. A p

While dietary factors are important modifiable risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D), the causal role of carbohydrate quality in nutrition remains controversial. Dietary glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) have been examined in relation to the risk of T2D in multiple prospective cohort studies. Previous meta-analyses indicate significant relations but consideration of causality has been mi

Purpose: Surgery is recommended for most patients with gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasias (GEP-NENs). Rates of complications and perioperative mortality have been reported in few mostly retrospective single-center series, but there has been no detailed analysis on risk factors for perioperative complications and mortality to date. Methods: Data of patients with GEP-NENs operated be

The thawing and subsequent decomposition of large stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC) currently stored in the northern circumpolar permafrost region are projected to result in a ‘positive’ feedback on global warming. The magnitude of this feedback can only be assessed with improved knowledge about the total size and geographic distribution of the permafrost SOC pool. This study investigates SOC st

Current large-scale deforestation poses a threat to ecosystems globally, and imposes substantial and prolonged changes on the hydrological and carbon cycles. The tropical forests of the Amazon and Indonesia are currently undergoing deforestation with catastrophic ecological consequences but widespread deforestation events have occurred several times in Earth's history and these provide lessons for

A purchaser/provider split together with output-based reimbursement were recently introduced by several Swedish county councils. These changes have been motivated by arguments of efficiency and consumer choice. This paper tests the null hypothesis that hospital services are provided as efficiently by county councils with internal markets and output-based reimbursement as by county councils with bu

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether self-administered Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) lead to reduced pain perception, increased acceptance and coping ability, and better health-related quality of life in individuals with fibromyalgia. Methods: Eighty-six women, diagnosed with fibromyalgia and on sick leave for at least 3 months, were randomly assigned to a treatment gro

Syfte: Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur mogna företagets inköpsavdelningar är och om mognadsgrad har något samband mellan hur de arbetar och mäter sin inköpsfunktion, samt att undersöka hur stora företag jobbar med indirekt inköp idag. Problembeskrivning: De olika frågorna som studien önskar besvara kan sammanfattas enligt följande: * Var befinner sig företagens mognadsgrad enlPurpose: The purpose of this master's thesis is to examine how companies work with performance measurements for purchasing of indirect materials and services and its relation to purchasing maturity. Problem formulation: These are the five research questions for this study: * How developed are the companies purchasing departments? * How are the companies working with indirect purchasing? * Wha

Principalansvar innebär att man blir ansvarig för någon annans vållande och är således en avvikelse från den svenska skadeståndsrättens grundprincip som föreskriver att man endast ansvarar för sina egna handlingar. Innan skadeståndslagen (SkL) trädde ikraft fanns endast rättspraxis som underlag för ett inskränkt principalansvar. Genom införandet av skadeståndslagen blev arbetsgivarens principalansVicarious liability means being responsible for someone else's negligence and therefor a deviation from the Swedish tort law basic principle, which states that you are only responsible for your own actions. Before the Swedish Liability Act (SkL) came into force there were only case law as the basis for a limited vicarious liability. With the introduction of the Liability Act the vicarious liab
