Combination therapies in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), which include the addition of an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor and/or docetaxel to androgen deprivation therapy, have been a game changer in the management of this disease stage. However, these therapies come with their fair share of toxicities and side effects. The goal of this observational study is to report
Official calls for “failed” asylum seekers to leave Sweden ignore the difficulties and harms befalling stateless people who cannot return to previous countries of residence because they lack citizenship. Stateless people are caught in limbo, a position where they have no prospects of return or of attaining a residence permit in a predictable future. To learn the underlying logics and consequences
During the last two decades, molecular methods to study mitochondrial DNA sequence variation have become an important part in the studies of avian haemosporidians. Up until recently, these methods have primarily been used for identification of the parasites and for tentative phylogenetic reconstructions, allowing researchers not trained in traditional parasitology to compare data across the globe.
Today’s scientific texts are complex and multimodal. Due to new technology, the number of images is increasing, as is their diversity and complexity. Interaction with complex texts and visualisations becomes a challenge. How can we help readers and learners achieve multimodal literacy? We use data from the audio description of a popular scientific journal and think- aloud protocols to uncover knowToday’s scientific texts are complex and multimodal.

IntroductionAlthough Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is generally considered a progressive condition with limited reversibility, recent data suggests potential for lung function improvement with exercise. Mechanistic insights into exercise-induced benefits remain limited, but in vitro models offer promise for understanding cellular and molecular changes. This study aims to elucidate t
Timer options are relatively new exotic options with the feature that they expire as soon as the accumulated realized variance exceeds a predefined level. This construction leads to a random time to maturity instead of having a fixed exercise day. As shown by Bernard an Cui [7], Timer options can be priced by solving a partial differential equation or by time-changing the stock price process and t
Children are constantly surrounded by stereotypes in the form of books, television series, and films. The majority of children acquire knowledge about gender stereotypes at 3-4 years of age. Gender stereotypes can influence children’s personalities, social relations and future plans regarding occupation. The study at hand investigated whether 4-5 year old girls in preschool were affected in their
Investigating motivation to create a social enterprise is a continuing concern within entrepreneurship which was expressed in previous studies. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to explore the antecedents of social entrepreneurial motivation and the trigger events that motivated the social entrepreneur to start a social enterprise. The life story method guided in the data collection and ana
This project was carried out in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems and focused on the redesign of the vertical track set used in industrial overhead sectional doors. The main goal was to reduce the amount of material used in the track set while maintaining current strength, robustness, and overall performance. Achieving this involved developing a reliable calculation model to simulate
This thesis investigates the effect of policy measures on macroeconomic indicators in the EU member countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study uses data on four different policy measures as key independent variables, that together with control variables are regressed against three dependent variables, which are indicators of the economic situation of a country. The variables studied are rea
