Objectives: To compare the performance of ultrasound measurements and subjective ultrasound assessment (SA) in detecting deep myometrial invasion (MI) and cervical stromal invasion (CSI) in women with endometrial cancer, overall and according to whether they had low- or high-grade disease separately, and to validate published measurement cut-offs and prediction models to identify MI, CSI and high-
Muntlig bevisning har länge medfört problem i den svenska hovrätten. När ett mål når den andra instansen har kvaliteten på muntlig bevisning blivit sämre, inte minst på grund av att minnesbilder hos förhörspersoner försvagas med tiden. Trots det har utgångspunkten, allt sedan det muntliga och omedelbara förfarandet introducerades genom 1948 års rättegångsbalk (RB), varit att principen om det bästa
The favorable pharmacokinetics of MMC, used during intraperitoneal chemotherapy, has been reported in several studies [11-19]. A major safety issue in studies using intraperitoneal chemotherapy perfusion is the resulting systemic drug exposure. The AUCplasma is determined by the dose, the clearance, and the fraction absorbed from the peritoneal cavity. The reported mean plasma peak concentrations
Under senare år har en växande oro över att allt yngre barn misstänks för grov brottslighet drivit fram en kriminalpolitisk agenda och lagstiftningsreformer som successivt minskar skillnaderna mellan barn och vuxna i det svenska straffsystemet. År 2023 reformerades bevistaleinstitutet, genom vilket en domstol kan pröva om ett barn under 15 år har begått en brottslig gärning utan att någon påföljd In recent years, growing concern over increasingly younger children being suspected of serious offences has driven a criminal policy agenda and legislative reforms that gradually reduce the differences between children and adults within the Swedish criminal justice system. In 2023, the evidentiary proceedings, through which a court may determine whether a child under the age of 15 has committed a

The objectives of this activity were to propose a number of alternative HMI solutions (visual, auditory and haptic) for the concept of Safe Speed and Safe Distance and to carry out a pre-screening procedure with a number of test persons in order to give recommendations for the alternative building elements of the SASPENCE “warning-package” consisting of the combination of these modes to be tested
BACKGROUND: Empirical knowledge around palliative care provision and needs of people with intellectual disabilities is extremely limited, as is the availability of research resources, including expertise and funding. This paper describes a consultation process that sought to develop an agenda for research priorities for palliative care of people with intellectual disabilities in Europe.METHODS: A
The predictive first order hold circuit is introduced and analyzed. The main advantage of this hold circuit is that it gives a continuous control signal. Conditions for causality and a pole placement procedure are presented. Formulas for sampling a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) problem are given and are used to analyze an example where the predictive first order hold gives better performance tha
Monitoring agricultural crops is of paramount importance for preserving water resources and increasing water efficiency over semi-arid areas. This can be achieved by modelling the water resources all along the growing season through the coupled water–surface energy balance. Surface albedo is a key land surface variable to constrain the surface radiation budget and hence the coupled water–surface e
Radar data at C-band has shown great potential for the monitoring of soil and canopy hydric conditions of wheat crops. In this study, the C-band Sentinel-1 time series including the backscattering coefficients σ0 at VV and VH polarization, the polarization ratio (PR) and the interferometric coherence ρ are first analyzed with the support of experimental data gathered on three plots of irrigated wi
Antibiotic resistance is a major threat for our society and finding novel antibacterial therapies is of greatimportance. In this thesis, we investigate bacterial sialic acid uptake inhibitors as a novel antibacterial approach.Bacteria do not biosynthesise sialic acid and therefore harvest it from the host. Sialic acid plays a crucial role forpathogenic bacteria, since it is used as a source of car
Photoredox properties of several earth-abundant light-harvesting transition metal complexes in combination with cobalt-based proton reduction catalysts have been investigated computationally to assess the fundamental viability of different photocatalytic systems of current experimental interest. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations using several GGA (BP86, B
Room acoustic simulations are an important tool, both for design of spaces with satisfactory acoustics and for use in virtual reality experiences. Auralization of acoustic simulations are becoming more and more important in the context of Virtual and Augmented reality (VR and AR respectively), as the technology is used more and more in healthcare, culture and research. In this work, ray tracing si
Background: Visual acuity (VA) and visual field defects (VF) are evaluated in the preoperative management of non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA). The former is less studied than the latter. Research question: To analyze preoperative factors, including adenoma volumetry, associated with reduced VA and postoperative improvement of VA over five years after surgery. Methods: Eighty-seven patients
