Advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) often requires extensive surgery to achieve tumour-free resection margins, the most important predictive factor for long-term survival. The performed surgery may result in substantial tissue loss and the need for perineal, vaginal and urological reconstructions. This thesis evaluates quality of life (QoL), functional, oncological and survival outcomes in patients w
This paper, inspired by the writings of Mats Roslund, discusses the use of archaeological materials that were once collected without proper excavation and documentation techniques. The case study used is the material from the moats at the castle Glimmingehus, collected when the moats were emptied in the years 1935–1937. By today’s standards, the material has major shortcomings regarding documentat
Early-life adversity negatively affects morbidity and survival in late life, but knowledge is limited about effects on women’s reproduction and reproductive health. To deepen our understanding of the full effects of disease exposure in early life, including long-term consequences, we study women’s reproductive outcomes and their offspring’s health. Using the Scanian Economic Demographic Database a
We study the effect of more informative feedback on student performance. Using data on the population of Swedish school children, we exploit a reform to the grading system in compulsory school which in 2011 introduced a more granular grading scale and thus provided students with more informative feedback on their academic performance. Exploiting a difference-in-discontinuity research design, we fi
Bakgrund: Patienter med avancerad gastrointestinal (GI) cancer har en hög symtombörda, vilket ofta medför behov av akutsjukvård. Integration av tidig, hem-baserad specialiserad palliativ vård (SPV) tillsammans med tumörspecifik behandling kan påverka behov av akut sjukvård.Metoder: Vid initiering av palliativ kemoterapi randomiserades patienter med avancerad GI-cancer till tidig hem-baserad SPV inBackgroundPatients with advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancer experience a high symptom burden which frequently necessitates emergency care. Integration of early home-based specialised palliative care (SPC) with tumour-specific treatments may impact emergency healthcare use.MethodsAt the initiation of palliative chemotherapy, patients with advanced GI cancer were randomised to early home-based SPC
Socioeconomic differences in mortality are among the most pervasive facts of contemporary societies. While the mortality gradient by income is well-established for the period after 1970, knowledge about the origins of the gradient is still rudimentary. We analyze the association between income and cause-specific adult mortality during the period 1905-2014 in an area of southern Sweden using compet
BackgroundColorectal cancer with overgrowth into urinary organs requires en-bloc resection of involved organs to achieve negative resection margins (R0). This study investigates survival and oncological outcomes after colorectal cancer surgery with resections of urinary organs.MethodPatients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery with urological resection in Sweden 2007–2018 were identified via the
JWST is transforming our ability to characterize small exoplanets, from sub-Neptunes to rocky worlds. A key open question is whether highly irradiated rocky planets can retain atmospheres or are stripped bare by stellar irradiation—a boundary that remains to be mapped observationally. Here we present the first JWST secondary eclipse observations of the rocky exoplanet GJ 3473 b, obtained with MIRI
We prove that symmetric, doubly periodic, capillary-gravity water waves in finite depth bifurcating from non-uniform non-stagnant shear flows are necessarily two-dimensional to leading order. This is in stark contrast to the case of uniform background flows, where the existence of truly three-dimensional bifurcating waves is well known. While this paper focuses on capillary-gravity water waves, ou
A standard proposition in the migration literature is that emigrants are not drawn randomly from their source population, but rather compose a self-selected group in terms of labour market characteristics. Such self-selection refers to observed characteristics, such as education, work experience, or occupation, as well as unobserved characteristics. However, due to data limitations, most previous
This chapter gives an overview of the discussions on online preaching. It identifies and provides examples of three common approaches—message-oriented, media-oriented, and ontology-oriented. In addition, it points to a fourth approach that might be fruitful: the practice-oriented. The chapter also suggests four critical areas in which digital homiletics could benefit from being further developed: This chapter gives an overview of the discussions on online preaching.
