Despite advances in MRI, the detection and characterisation of lymph nodes in rectal cancer remains complex, especially when assessing the response to neo-adjuvant treatment. An alternative approach is functional imaging, previously shown to aid characterization of cancer tissues. We report proof-of-concept of the novel technique Contrast-Enhanced Magneto-Motive Ultrasound (CE-MMUS) to recover inf

Transgender people report significantly poorer mental health than cisgender people. In psychological research, these health disparities are explained by theories of minority stress and microaggressions, while other disciplines use theories on normativity, livability, affective work, world making and utopias. Such theories are seldom picked up by psychologists even though they could serve to help p

BackgroundThe literature on the relationship between anxiety and suicidal behaviors is limited and findings are mixed. This study sought to determine whether physicians noted anxiety symptoms and suicidality in their patients in the weeks and months before suicide.MethodsData were derived from a nationwide medical record review of confirmed suicides in Sweden in 2015. Individuals with at least one

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) drops recorded by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) identify patients with susceptibility to reflex syncope and orthostatic intolerance. We tested the hypothesis that treatments aimed to increase BP (reassurance, education & life-style measures plus pharmacological strategies) can reduce SBP drops.METHODS: Multicentre, o

Cancer invasion and metastasis are known to be potentiated by the expression of aquaporins (AQPs). Likewise, the expression levels of AQPs have been shown to be prognostic for survival in patients and have a role in tumor growth, edema, angiogenesis, and tumor cell migration. Thus, AQPs are key players in cancer biology and potential targets for drug development. Here, we present the single-partic

This study aims to explore how family therapists in social services perceive and describe quality in their work with family support, and how their experience and knowledge contribute to the quality of their practical work. The study was conducted through qualitative, semi-structured interviews with family therapists working within social services. The results reveal that professionals define quali

My aim of the project was to create a table with the same purpose as the Memphis Group had in the 1980s, furniture that does not have the function as the main topic, the experimental playfulness with shapes, materials, and colors are the primary. My method has focused on the Memphis Group's philosophy, to be inspired by the coloring, design of volumes and materials, and also the aim of provoc

The purpose of this research is to explore the impact users have on value co-creation in the sharing economy. More specifically, we aim to examine the values users can co-create for each other through exchanges and interactions within the sharing economy. Because the sharing economy is a recent phenomenon, an explorative research design has been chosen with a qualitative study. 25 semi-structured

Konvergensen är ett starkt sätt att skapa ökat kundvärde på befintliga eller nya produkter och tjänster. Detta adderande värde för kunden sker huvudsakligen på två nivåer av konvergensen.: Tjänstekonvergensen, där man genom att erbjuda tjänster såväl fast som mobilt ökar tjänsens värde och på så sätt ger kunden ett ökat värde. Det ökade värdet av tjänsterna grundar sig i att de kommer att vara til

Problemformulering: Byggprocessen är idag långsam, kostsam och genererar stora mängder spill och utsläpp. För att kunna möta bostadsbehovet från den snabbt växande befolkningsmängden måste tekniken utvecklas, den måste bli snabbare och mer kostnadseffektiv. Med ny teknik där betongelement tillverkas genom automatiserad och datorstyrd 3D-printning kan eventuellt hela betongbyggnadsprocessen effektiQuestion formulation: The construction process today is slow, costly and generates large amounts of waste and emissions. In order to meet housing needs of the rapidly growing population in a sustainable way, the technology must evolve; it must be faster and more cost-effective. New technology, where concrete is manufactured by automated and computer-controlled 3D-printing, can possibly streamline

Examensarbetets titel: Ratingverktygets betydelse för styrningen av plattformsföretag i delningsekonomin Seminariedatum: 27-05-2015 Ämne/kurs: FEKN90, Examensarbete på Civilekonomprogrammet, 30 Högskolepoäng Författare: Cecilia Brahme & Lisen Hentschel Handledare: Jon Bertilsson Nyckelord: Styrning, Tjänster, Delningsekonomin, Plattformsföretag, Rating Syfte: Studiens syfte är att unders

Uppsatsen behandlar begreppet arbetsbrist i bemanningsföretag. För att en arbetsgivare ska kunna säga upp en arbetstagare krävs det saklig grund i form av antingen arbetsbrist eller personliga skäl. Vinstdrivande uthyrningsverksamhet legaliserades i Sverige år 1993, och bemanningsbranschen har sedan dess kommit att bli en naturlig del av den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Branschen bygger på ett trepartThe essay addresses the subject termination of an employment contract with notice due to redundancy. Termination with notice by the employer must be based on objective grounds, which could be either due to redundancy or circumstances related to the employee personally. Profit-making temporary work agencies were legalised in Sweden in 1993 and have since become a natural part of the Swedish labour

This study investigates the potential of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, to aid venture capitalists in the screening of startups that maximize sustainability impact. To determine the scope that maximizes impact for venture capitalists' and to identify effective screening criteria, the study utilized theoretical research and interviews. The thesis suggests that the ideal investme

Hamilton’s rule provides the cornerstone for our understanding of the evolution of all forms of social behavior, from altruism to spite, across all organisms, from viruses to humans. In contrast to the standard prediction from Hamilton’s rule, recent studies have suggested that altruistic helping can be favored even if it does not benefit relatives, as long as it decreases the environmentally indu
