PurposeThe benefit of adding concurrent systemic therapy to definitive radiation therapy (RT) for patients with T1-2 oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and limited neck node involvement is uncertain. This study investigates whether chemotherapy (CRT) in patients with early-stage (T1-2) low-volume nodal disease (Union for International Cancer Control Seventh Edition N1-2b) improves overa
Introduction: Despite factor (F)VIII prophylaxis, a perceived increased risk of bleeding for some people with severe haemophilia A (PwSHA) exists, limiting physical activity (PA) and restricting quality of life (QoL). Aim: HemiNorth 2 (EudraCT# 2020-003256-32) is an interventional study evaluating the impact of switching from FVIII prophylaxis to emicizumab in PwSHA without FVIII inhibitors who ha
This paper presents for the first time a precise measurement of the production properties of the Z boson in the full phase space of the decay leptons. This is in contrast to the many previous precise unfolded measurements performed in the fiducial phase space of the decay leptons. The measurement is obtained from proton–proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2012 at s=8 TeV at
The identity of Ceropegia hirsuta in Thailand has been questioned. Although this plant is quite similar to the original C. hirsuta from India, being entirely hirsute, with yellowish-shaded flowers, a curved, funnel-shaped corolla tube, and broad corolla lobes shorter than the corolla tube, there are several clear differences in morphological traits between the materials collected in Thailand and t
Bakgrund: Antalet personer som drabbas av demenssjukdomar ökar kraftigt och anhöriga till dessa påverkas i vardagen på olika sätt, vilket kan påverka deras hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka upplevelsen av aktivitetsbalans hos anhöriga till personer med demens. Metod: Data inhämtades genom en fokusgrupp vid två upprepade tillfällen med 5 deltagare. En riktad innehållsanalys ge
The purpose of this study is to explore whether communicating the liabilities of newness can justify young ventures’ offshoring decisions to such an extent that it moderates country-of-origin (COO) effects. We adjust the established concept of COO effects to the entrepreneurial context and therefore include the country of ownership (CO) instead of the country of design (CD) next to the commonly us
As a result of the official report on democracy (Demokratiutredningen), the Swedish government decided in 2002 to prescribe by law the right of initiation for common citizens in city councils (medborgerlig förslagsrätt). All citizens are therefore now entitled to submit a proposal which then will be dealt with by the city council as a motion. In this paper the handling of the citizen proposal is s
The C99 standard for the C programming language introduced the new type qualifier restrict which acts as a hint for the compiler and the programmer that the specified pointer is not aliased by any other pointer if the pointed object can be modified. By using restrict on pointers the compiler may, if implemented and allowed, optimize code even further. This thesis investigates how well the C compil
In this study we aim to provide a deeper understanding of the thoughts on interaction and the collaborative work that school counselor’s facing with social services, healthcare, the school faculty and staff. The study is conducted through eight qualitative interviews with school counselors from different schools throughout the city of Malmö. We gathered the empirical material and categorized it in
The Image of Sweden abroad usually comes with positive connotations. Some of Sweden’s perceived strengths, e.g. being open, authentic, caring, and innovative, are represented in the Strategy for the Image of Sweden (2013). However, changing circumstances, such as the implementation of internal border controls as a result of the migration crisis beginning in autumn 2015, along with a changing polit
The objective of this thesis is to investigate how public Swedish family firms managed to perform during the most recent recession that started in 2008. Accounting data is combined with information regarding ownership structure to examine family firms’ performance in comparison to non-family firms. Our evidence implies that family firms perform better in terms of operating performance (return on a
In this master's thesis, a copula approach is used to model the number of claims made by a customer holding three insurances. It is important for insurance companies to have good models for the risk proles of their customers, and the number of claims is a key element in calculating the expected cost for the company. Using copulas, multivariate distribution functions are allowed to have any des
The purpose of this study is to understand how green therapy in social work can be used as a resource to enhance the participant's sense of coherence in terms of meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability. Green therapy, a generic term we use in the study, is based on theories of nature's stress-reducing and restorative effect on humans. The study was conducted through qualitative
I den svenska rättsordningen anses djur vara lös egendom. Detta innebär att de kan säljas, bytas, överges och till och med dödas, allt enligt ägarens vilja. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda vad denna status får för effekter samt om det rättsliga skydd djur har i övrigt är tillräckligt. En följd av att djur räknas som lös egendom är att brott mot djur kan rubriceras som skadegörelse. VidareIn the Swedish legal system animals are considered property. This leads to them being able to be sold, traded, abandoned and even killed, all according to the wishes of the owner. The purpose of this essay is investigating what the effects of this status are, as well as investigating whether the legal protection animals have through Swedish law in other aspects is sufficient. One effect of the f
Det nuvarande globala systemet är organiserat i territoriella, suveräna stater – ett system som vilar på många antaganden. En viktig aspekt är att påståendet att en del av att vara suverän för med sig förmågan att kontrollera ens gränser och förekomsten av icke-medborgare på ens territorium. Samtidigt visar senare utveckling att förhållningssätt (och försök att reglera) individer som korsar gränseThe current global order is organised into territorial, sovereign states – a system built upon many assumptions. One major aspect is the claim that being sovereign entails the ability to control one’s borders as well as the presence of aliens on one’s territory. At the same time, recent developments have shown that approaches to (and attempts to regulate) individuals crossing borders cannot be und
