Punch biopsies are commonly used in dermatology for diagnosing skin diseases. Traditional methods involve the use of forceps, skin hooks, and scissors, which add to health care costs. The technique described here offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative for obtaining specimens.
Sex education can impact pupils’ sexual activity and convey the social norms regarding family formation and responsibility, which can have significant consequences to their future. To investigate the life-cycle effects of social norm transmission, this study draws on the introduction of comprehensive sex education in the curriculum of Swedish primary schools during the 1940s to the 1950s. Inspired
This thesis investigates the question ‘What is knowledge?’ In intuition-based epistemology the question is often considered to concern how ‘knowledge’ is used linguistically or conceptually rather than what knowledge is. In addition, since intuitions are used as evidence despite empirical experiments indicating that people’s intuitions vary a great deal and that little conclusive systematicity can
Reliable maps of species distributions are fundamental for biodiversity research and conservation. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) range maps are widely recognized as authoritative representations of species’ geographic limits, yet they might not always align with actual occurrence data. In recent area of habitat (AOH) maps, areas that are not habitat have been removed fr
Background and objective: To assess the effect of surgeon sex on short- and long-term outcomes after colon cancer resections. Methods: Clinical data of patients who underwent colon cancer resections between 2010 and 2020 at Helsingborg Hospital, Sweden, were retrospectively obtained from medical records. The sex of the surgeon of each procedure was recorded. Morbidity, mortality, and long-term sur
Introduction: Planning cranioplasty (CPL) in patients with suspected or proven post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) poses a significant management challenge due to a lack of clear guidance. Research question: This project aims to create a European document to improve adherence and adapt to local protocols based on available resources and national health systems. Methods: After a thorough non-systema
Bridges are an important part of the traffic infrastructure, which are subjected to high safety requirements and economic consequences in case of functionality failure. Therefore, it is needed to consider potentially substantial direct and indirect risks during service life, i.e., the need for risk and robustness analyses. Over the last decades, various quantitative performance criteria have been
The main objective of this paper is to develop a readiness index model that can serve as an analytical tool for exploring the achievements of the electrification of transportation systems. We have applied this readiness index model to evaluate the readiness positioning of China, Norway, and Sweden towards transportation electrification. We have chosen these three countries as they represent divers
Fire models are used increasingly for fire safety assessment in nuclear power plants. Examples of these fire models are CFD models and zone models. When using these models it is important that they are sufficiently verified and validated. In Sweden the majority of fire safety consultants are using FDS, developed by NIST. The verification and validation of this package is intensively done for a num

Mobiltelefonen har gått igenom en enorm teknisk utveckling de senaste åren. För antennens del har det inneburit en rad förändringar och denna artikel försöker beskriva några av de nya utmaningar som antennspecialisterna idag ställs inför. Antennen är numera ofta inbyggd i telefonen och täcker fler band på högre frekvenser och som inbyggd har den betydligt sämre förutsättningar än tidigare att fung
