Background: Rectal cancer treatment has improved through important incremental surgical and oncological developments over the past decades. Localized disease is highly treatable with multimodal surgical and oncological therapy. Prognosis is dependent on several factors with tumour stage at diagnosis being the most important. Furthermore, curative treatment is highly dependent on radical surgical r
Central to the field of agrarian political economy, is rural development and capitalism’s advancement in the countryside and its consequences for the peasantry, ‘the agrarian question’. With the present case study, I examine the interplay between social relations of production and agrarian change in eastern Bolivia. Using the case study of Ramada, a small indigenous community, this dissertation in
Hydrological models are generally calibrated and validated using a suite of well-known statistical metrics, which sometimes lack clear connection and tailoring to the local users’ need and therefore limits the evaluation, especially in the case of global climate services. Therefore, in this study, two types of application-based evaluation metrics are introduced, addressing (i) temporal matching of
Current mobility patterns mean that many trips cross one or several municipal borders. This emphasises the need to integrate land-use and transport planning at regional functional scales. However, the Swedish planning system is characterised by a ‘municipal planning monopoly’, where local governments control the formal planning instruments. The lack of formal means for regional-level planning has
A thin resistive sheet is described by its sheet conductance, and the electric and magnetic dipole moments per unit area. All three properties can be controlled by the material parameters and geometry of the sheet, for instance by making a periodic pattern of holes in it. A mathematical analysis of the low frequency limit of Maxwell's equations in a periodic setting generates a hierarchy of local
The aim of this work is to propose a framework for providing QoS routing in MANETs. The proposed framework uses local information of nodes such as node's speed, buffer, and power to select path for routing. Deploying these information, more stable paths are selected and hence QoS routing parameter could be satisfied. Moreover, routing performance has been improved, especially in terms of end-to-en
Decay kinetic properties of a two-level atom near the band edges of photonic crystals (PCs) with absolute gaps are studied based on the Green's function expression for the evolution operator. The local coupling strength between the photons and an atom is evaluated by an exact numerical method. It is found that the decay behavior of an excited atom can be fundamentally changed by the variation of t
This PhD thesis deals with the transformation of imported vessels of Roman origin in Germania Magna during the Roman Iron Age, 1-400 AD. The concept of transformation in this context refers to the various ways these objects were interpreted, physically altered and consequently changed with regard to their function and meaning. Roman vessels in Germanic contexts are often regarded as evidence for R
The Swedish consumers consumed in 2014 13.1 kilo textilies, of this 8 kilogram was dicarded via household waste and used for energy production. European Union’s waste hierarchy avocates a higher rate of reuse and recycling for a more sustainable textile flow. The Swedish goverment is, therefor, working toward new laws and guidelines which can lead to an expanded responsibility for the municipaliti

The method is under development but shows promise in guiding national, regional and local risk management efforts in Sweden towa
