This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the long-term survival and prognostic factors in patients with metastatic small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (siNETs). Patients with siNETs usually present with advanced disease, limiting curative treatment options. The overall survival seems favorable compared to other cancers, but differences in terminology, lack of consistent coding, conflicting results fr
Air pollution is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Low-emission zones (LEZ) have been increasingly implemented in cities throughout Europe as a measure to reduce the adverse health effects and premature deaths associated with traffic-related air pollution. In the present study, a health impact analysis was conducted to estimate the effect of a hypothetical LEZ on mort
Abstract Author: Josefin Almkvist and Ellenor Yngvesson Title: The battle for children – A qualitative study of the district court's assessment in custody disputes (translated title) Supervisor: Maria Bangura Arvidsson Assessor: Hans-Edvard Roos The purpose of this study was to analyze verdicts of custody disputes and thereby study how the court motivates their decisions in custody issues. Th
Aim: To explore the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes and to identify possible mechanisms for the development of atrial fibrillation. Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the primary health care in Skara, Sweden, and 1739 subjects (798 men, 941 women) were surveyed. Patients were categorized as those wit
Background: Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Despite successful control of the primary tumor, metastatic disease will ultimately develop in approximately 50% of patients, with the liver being the most common site for metastases. The median survival for patients with liver metastases is between 6 and 12 months, and no treatment has in randomized trials eve

As a result of technological advancements, marketing of various shapes have ex-ploded. In today's society it is not a question of where, what or how to spread a message, it's about getting someone to listen. This paper aims to raise awareness of the role of music in marketing, specifically how music in advertising can affect consumers' perception of and approach to an enterprise. By de
Abstract Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor was fabricated on the InGaAs substrate with Al2O3/HfO2 gate oxide. InGaAs is one of the promising candidates for advanced applications which require the lower power supply and high frequency. The high-k films (Al2O3/HfO2) were formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as an alternative to silicon dioxide (SiO2) to proceed the scaling of oxide to low
Cancer är idag det näst vanligaste dödsorsaken i världen, där 30% av alla cancerfall bland kvinnor är bröstcancer. En vanlig behandling är bröstbevarande operation, där en bit av bröstet kirurgiskt tas bort. Operationer är både dyrt och har en betydande inverkan på kroppen och för vissa kvinnor krävs en omoperation efter den första operationen. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka möjliCancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and 30% of all cancer cases among women are breast cancer. A popular treatment is breast-conserving surgery, where only a part of the breast is surgically removed. Surgery is expensive and has a significant impact on the body, and on some women, a reoperation is needed. The aim of this thesis was to see if there is a possibility to predict whet
Contemporary organizations expect newly formed teams to perform from the outset under strict time and task constraints. While Wheelan’s (1994a; 2005) Integrated Model of Group Development (IMGD) frames team development as a progression through distinct stages, few studies have examined whether such assumptions are reflected in the temporal structure of early interaction. Drawing on a dynamic syste
The bachelor thesis was to create a GPS tracking system for Svep Design Center AB. The system would consist of two major parts which were linked together through a common database. One part consisted of a cell phone application were the user can transmit their current position and the other part was a web application where the position data is presented on a map outlining the route of the user. Si
Climate change and environmental awareness have been a focus topic in the past years due to the increase of greenhouse emissions in the atmosphere. A significant part of the problem is the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the construction industry, whether in the early stages of construction or over the life of a building. In order to reduce human impact, several actors in the building and const
We analyze the oxygen abundances of a stellar sample representative of the two major Galactic populations: the thin and thick disks. The aim is to investigate the differences between members of the Galactic disks and contribute to the understanding of the origin of oxygen chemical enrichment in the Galaxy. The analysis is based on the [O i] = 6300.30 Å oxygen line in high-resolution spectra (R ∼ 5
Chromosome abnormalities, in particular translocations, and gene fusions are hallmarks of neoplasia. Although both have been recognized as important drivers of cancer for decades, our knowledge of the characterizing features of the cytobands involved in recombinations is poorly understood. The present study, based on a comparative analysis of 10 442 translocation breakpoints and 30 762 gene fusion
Aim: Impaired regulation of glucose metabolism in childhood adversely affects bone health. We assessed the effect of fasting hyperglycemia and insulin resistance on bone turnover markers in prepubertal children with normal glycemia (<100 mg/dL) and fasting hyperglycemia (100-125 mg/dL). Methods: Glucose, hemoglobin A1c, IGF-I (insulin-like growth factor I), iP1NP (N-terminal propeptide of type I p
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is most common in populations of Northern European ancestry where the F508del variant predominates. In 2020, Iceland became a member of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society Patient Registry, and we launched an epidemiological study of CF in Iceland. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and the genetic variants present in the country. Furthermore, we aimed to
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is an under-construction material science research facility in Lund, Sweden, and will upon completion host the most powerful superconducting linear accelerator (linac) in the world. The ESS linac is powered by klystron modulators required to deliver long high-power pulses (pulse amplitude 115 kV/100 A, pulse length 3.5 ms, pulse repetition rate 14 Hz) of very h
We tested the chondrogenic potential of demineralized allogeneic bone matrix (DABM) in the repair of osteochondral defects. In 42 adult rabbits, a 5-mm2 or 15-mm2 defect was created bilaterally in the intercondylar groove of distal femur. DABM was inserted directly in 37 defects, whereas in 35 it was inserted after previous placement in muscle for 4, 16, or 19 days. Another 12 defects were left em
This study examines how public transport passengers experience and use travel time and under what conditions they are particularly concerned about shorter travel time. Using a survey of Swedish public transport users and a follow-up focus group, we compare current patterns with a similar 2009 study. Findings indicate a slight decline in perceived value of travel time, coinciding with a marked redu
