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
High-Arctic environments are facing an elevated pace of warming and increasing human activities, making them more susceptible to the introduction and spread of alien species. We investigated the role of human disturbance in facilitating the spread of a native plant (Papaver dahlianum) in a high-Arctic natural environment close to Isfjord Radio station and along adjacent hiking trails at Kapp Linné
Background: The quality of the total mesorectal excision specimen in rectal cancer surgery is assessed with a three-tier grade (mesorectal, intramesorectal and muscularis propria). This study aimed to analyse the prognostic impact of the total mesorectal excision grade on survival, and to identify risk factors for intramesorectal and muscularis propria resection in a population-based setting. Meth
Over the last 40 years, the concept of resilience has made a journey from the fields of ecology and psychology into the social sciences. By now, it has become a term commonly used in the international climate change adaptation and development spheres, describing the ability of an individual or a community to cope with or recover from harmful events. Critics have raised concerns about this spread,
The literature shows that lack of good hygiene is an important issue on which to focus as hygiene deficiency can lead to healthcare associated infections (HAI). HAI affects the safety of patients and can result in substantial economic costs and an increase in morbidity and mortality among patients. The aim of this study was to explore the health care workers basic hygienic routines and their compl
Syfte: Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka hur banker tolkar och tillämpar regelsystemet kring gruppvisa nedskrivningar av lånefordringar. Metod: För att fördjupa oss i ämnet har vi valt att genomföra personliga intervjuer med sex respondenter. Utöver detta har vi gjort en studie av tio bankers årsredovisningar där vi jämfört det sätt på vilket de hanterar gruppvisa nedskrivningar av låneforPurpose: The purpose with this thesis is to make researches into how banks interpret the law concerning collective impairment of loans and how they put it into practice. Methodology: In an attempt to deepen our understanding of the subject, we have chosen to carry out personal interviews with six respondents. On top of this, we have studied the annual reports of ten banks. The aim of this study h
Earlier studies have shown that while free-viewing images people tend to gaze at regions with a high local density of bottom up features such as contrast and edge density. In particular, this tendency seems to be more emphasized during the first few fixations after image onset. In this paper, we present a new method to investigate how gaze locations are chosen by introducing varying image resoluti
Staying aloft when hovering and flying slowly is demanding. According to quasi-steady-state aerodynamic theory, slow-flying vertebrates should not be able to generate enough lift to remain aloft. Therefore, unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms to enhance lift production have been proposed. Using digital particle image velocimetry, we showed that a small nectar-feeding bat is able to increase lift by as
This paper explores the influence of municipal governance forms and structures on accounting compliance in municipal organisations. If municipal governance forms and structures influence accounting compliance, then understanding these relationships becomes important when discussing heterogeneous practice and efficient accounting regulation. The context and object of analysis is the practices of re
An iron-molybdenum alloy powder was extensively deformed by high energy milling, so to refine the bcc iron domain size to nanometer scale (~10 nm) and introduce a strong inhomogeneous strain. Both features contribute to comparable degree to the diffraction peak profile broadening, so that size and strain contributions can be easily separated by exploiting their different dependence on the diffract
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Främmande gen ger fler skott Ibland händer det att arter i naturen byter gener med varandra. Frågan är hur det kan påverka deras förmåga att anpassa sig till sin miljö. Kan en extra gen till exempel få ett gräs att växa annorlunda, eller klara av torka bättre? Det är frågor vi försökt få svar på i den här studien—med hjälp av femhundra krukor gräs och ett växt
In this paper we study the impact that political risk premiums have on market index returns in thirty-one countries. We also include the impact of exchange rates and inflation rates. Fifteen of the countries are classified as developing, and sixteen of them are classified as developed based on the World Bank classifications. These classifications play a role in the analysis as they are included as
Background and Aims: Results from prior studies of risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are inconsistent. Few studies have investigated risk factors measured before the event and separately for different locations of ICH. We investigated risk factors for incident ICH in the population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. Method: Baseline information, assessed by a questionnaire and in a
This policy brief looks into the role of social norms to fight corruption in the school system in the Cau Giay district in Hanoi. An ongoing research project has conducted multiple ethnographic field studies in schools and included parents, teachers, and other school personnel in the research data. Their experiences and reflections are the core of this brief. The results show the existence of info
Literature on intermediation in transitions has emphasised the importance of publicly promoting intermediation. To understand what drives authorities to financially promote intermediation, we conducted an exploratory study of 16 Swedish municipalities promoting an intermediary actor in the mobility transition, applying the framework of drivers of collaborative governance. The results highlight dri
The local average treatment effect (LATE) estimator has enabled a wide range of empirical studies that usenatural experiments to estimate causal effects from observational data. However, this empirical literature has overlooked a crucial assumption regarding the definition of the treatment—thepart of the stable unit treatment value assumption referred to asthe consistency assumption in epidemiolog
Studying the Milky Way’s dynamics using (limited) astrometry alone Paul McMillan, University of Leicester (Collaborators: Daniel Mikkola, David Hobbs, Teresa Antoja and the Gaia Consortium) Why use just astrometry?

This bachelor thesis uses the case of a double land allocation agreement on the Swedish island of Gotland and asks to what degree neoliberal planning is present when using the policy instrument. The main theoretical framework used was that of David Harvey(2005), on the manifestation of neoliberal policies. His framework puts forth four main ways in which neoliberal policies are manifested.

Background, policy relevance and aim Background A growing human population and higher per-capita consumption rates of food and bio-energy call for a strong increase of agricultural production globally. Maintaining high agricultural production through intensive conventional agriculture with its reliance on agro-chemical inputs, however, threatens the long-term sustainability of agriculture and co
