Background Monotherapy with anticoagulation has been considered as first-line therapy in patients with mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT). The aim of this study was to evaluate outcome, prognostic factors, and failure rate of anticoagulation as monotherapy, and to identify when bowel resection was needed.Methods Retrospective study of consecutive patients with MVT diagnosed between 2000 and 2015.RBACKGROUND: Monotherapy with anticoagulation has been considered as first-line therapy in patients with mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT).

The global temperature rise is proportional to the cumulative amount of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. This observation is consistent between climate models and historical observations. It has also given rise to the concept of a carbon budget, which sets a threshold for the amount of CO2 that can be emitted into the atmosphere while still fulfilling political goals such as the Paris Agreement.Te

Preventing and mitigating damage to the surroundings arising from process safety incidents is an important aspect of process safety. Risk-informed or risk-based decision-making are cornerstones in most countries’ regulatory regimes for land-use planning. However, the design and implementation of the regulations vary significantly - from countries that have chosen a highly standardized set of rules

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether suicidality was documented prior to suicide in patients in contact with specialised somatic healthcare providers for physical conditions and to identify factors related to such documentation.DESIGN AND SETTINGS: Retrospective cohort study in which medical records from specialised somatic (non-psychiatric) healthcare services (internal medicine, infectious disease, s

A first glance Korean and Danish seem to be seemingly far apart each other in every linguistic aspect, from the grammar over pronunciation to the written language, not to mention the elaborated polite-conjugations we find in Korean compared to the Danes’ habit of saying ‘you’ (‘du’) to just about everyone.

Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder in women of fertile age which may also affect the labor market attachment. We investigated labor market attachment trajectories among working age women diagnosed with PCOS. Methods: A cohort of 157,356 women born in 1975–1977 were followed annually between the ages of 30 and 39, using data from Swedish administrative registers.

Managed honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are increasingly used worldwide to meet the growing demand for agricultural pollination services and honey production. The spillover of managed honey bees into natural habitats can strongly transform wild plant-pollinator communities, resulting in mixed consequences for plant reproduction. To effectively predict and cope with the impacts of managed honey bees

Denna avhandling undersöker oberoende kulturproduktion som idé(al) och fenomen, särskilt den centrala roll som samarbeten och ömsesidiga beroenden har för oberoende kulturaktörer. Samtida oberoende kulturproduktion både tillåter och kräver organisering i ett spänningsfält av olika förväntningar och begränsade rumsliga, finansiella och mänskliga resurser. I en tid av allt starkare politisk motvind,This thesis engages with the phenomenon of independent cultural production, which empirically shows itself as an idea(l) of self-determined cultural production and collaboration made possible through numerous different relationships. Independence, as a relational concept, achieved through in(ter)dependencies is what this thesis sets out to explore. Definitions of independence in cultural productio

Domstolens bevisvärdering, att värdera fakta i ett mål, är ett av de mest väsentliga momenten inom rättsskipningen. Bevisvärderingen regleras huvudsakligen genom den fria bevisprövningens princip i 35 kap. 1 § BrB. Bestämmelsen är utformad som en generalklausul och lämnar ett relativt stort spelrum för hur domstolen ska genomföra sin bevisvärdering. Våldtäkt regleras i 6 kap. 1 § BrB och är ett The Courts assessment of the evidence, to evaluate facts in a case, is one of the most essential steps in the administration of justice. The assessment of evidence is regulated mainly by the ”free proof of principle trial” in chapter 35 § 1 of the Code of Judicial Procedure . The regulation is designed as a general clause, leaving a relatively large scope for the Court to implement its assessment

As a major step to development, countries try to implement e-government and encouraging the public to use e-services instead of traditional ways. It is obvious that adoption of e-government has increased in many countries over the world, but the rate of adoption varies from country to country, and also the factors which are affecting the adoption of e-government differ from developing countries to

Abstract Background Axis Communications is a Lund based company which specializes in network cameras. In addition to the cameras, the company has a wide range of accessories that ensure their customers receive complete solutions. While the company has had significant successes by investing heavily in R&D, increased competition from low-cost competitors is now placing higher demands on cost-eff

It seems that people are more disconnected to the objects they own than ever before. What has changed in the last decades? People had tools and the skills to use them, but due to convenience and easy consumable entertainment, do-it-yourself was replaced by do-it-forme. Tasks we would have handled ourselves in the past are now done by a product or a service. This is disabling people. By losing ski

Eventuella beteendemässiga konsekvenser av pornografianvändande har undersökts flitigt under de senaste decennierna. Forskningen har dock inte inkorporerat kontextuella aspekter av pornografianvändande eller intresserat sig för möjliga samband med användarnas egen sexualitet. Denna studies första syfte var att undersöka pornografianvändande i en icke-klinisk population av 16- till 30-åringar i SveAn increasing body of research has accumulated over last decades investigating the possible behavioral outcomes and correlates of pornography use. However, research has not incorporated contextual aspects of pornography use or it’s relation with users’ own sexuality. The first aim of this study was to investigate several aspects of pornography use in a non clinical population of 16-30 year olds’ i

Despite increasing focus on the role of fathers in the face of changing societal norms, we still do not understand men’s transition to fatherhood and how it may be related to his and other family members’ well-being. Given evidence of an association between psychological parameters of this transition and postnatal depressive symptoms, we explored longitudinal paths between expectant fathers’ paren

This study aims to predict saving behavior using Artificial Neural Network (ANN), XGBoost, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. First, 25 variables were chosen from the original 217 questions asked by the National Financial Capability Well-Being Survey (2018) NFCS, using exploratory data analysis. K-means clustering was applied to determine the optimal number of saving classes (k=5) to inc

Den reklam som användare möter på internet är idag ofta anpassad och utvald för att överensstämma med dennes intressen. För att erbjuda sådan individuellt riktad reklam använder adtechsektorn metoder som bygger på en storskalig kartläggning av användares onlineaktiviteter. Vanligen är det en tredje part till den tjänst som användaren faktiskt nyttjar som ansvarar för och utför den här kartläggningToday, internet users often face advertising that is tailored and selected to match their interests. To offer such targeted advertising the adtech sector use methods that rely on a large scale tracking of users’ internet activities. In most cases this tracking is performed by a third party to the service that the user is accessing. This makes it hard for individuals to know what information is col

The purpose of this paper is to measure living standards for the population of Chocó, Colombia, using four waves of the DHSurveys between 1990 and 2005. Recent maternal history allowed the construction of a pooled dataset of 3.055 children and 779 mothers. The concept of living standards is measured as the ability to ensure child and marriage survival subject to short term economic stress, which i

Min uppstas syftar till att få reda på de argument som låg till grund för kriminaliseringen av sexuell tjänst som kom 1999 och varför endast köparen kriminaliserades. Min uppsats sträcker sig över en lång period från 1977-2011. Vad jag fann var att samhället i stort gick från en syn på att prostitution var ett problem för mannen, kvinnan och samhället i stort till att allt mer rikta in sig på att
