Aortoenteric fistula formation is a devastating condition regardless of whether it is primary or secondary (i.e. after previous aneurysm repair) in nature. Patients present with signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding with or without signs of systemic infection and are often in a very poor clinical condition. Conventional treatment consists of extensive open surgery (extra-anatomical bypas
Abstract: The FIFA World Cup, together with the Summer Olympic Games, are the two events classified as sports mega-events (SMEs), characterized by their global outreach and different types of costs. Within the SME realm, a paradoxical trend can be seen; they show stronger sustainability agendas, yet generate higher social, economic, and environmental costs. The overarching question is their legaci
This paper discusses how various actors communicate about and coordinate sea rescue activities in networks. We combine a network approach with theories of inter-organization communication to understand how communication can facilitate or limit coordination in networks. Search and rescue officers retain the overall authority to direct rescue missions, and coordination with several other professions
The global steel industry accounts for 8–10 % of global CO2 emissions and requires deep decarbonisation for achieving the targets set in the Paris Agreement. However, no low-emission primary steel production technology has yet been commercially feasible or deployed. Through analysing revisions and additions of European Union climate policy, we show that green hydrogen-based steelmaking in competit

The predicament in which we find ourselves today is that many professionals lack a sufficient grounding in formal methods, tools and techniques to enable them to make an appropriate selection for different kinds of problem. This can mean that complexity remains unrecognized and ambiguous problem situations are addressed as if they were clear and straightforward, resulting in inadequate solutions t
It is obviously expected that sustainable development is the primary target to raise prosperity and life standards of nations. It is necessary to ensure social, political, and economic stability. But what about the stimulus factors that motivate sustainable development? Can income inequality be one of them? Some literature has examined the role of income distribution on economic growth, but to te
Previous studies have shown that fossil energy systems can be a conflict objective, means or cause. This study explores how renewable energy (RE) systems can interact with conflicts and to what extent the risk of different conflicts may change. Renewable resources, in contrast to conventional fossil resources, are more difficult to control in time and space. RE systems depend on exploiting flows r
Perlecan is a heparansulfate proteoglycan found in basement membranes, cartilage, and several mesenchymal tissues that form during development, tumour growth, and tissue repair. Loss-of-function mutations in the perlecan gene in mice are associated with embryonic lethality caused primarily by cardiac abnormalities probably due to hemopericards. The aim of the present study was to investigate the m
Neurocan is a component of the extracellular matrix in brain. Due to its inhibition of neuronal adhesion and outgrowth in vitro and its expression pattern in vivo it was suggested to play an important role in axon guidance and neurite growth. To study the role of neurocan in brain development we generated neurocan-deficient mice by targeted disruption of the neurocan gene. These mice are viable an

The meiotic functions of Emi2, an inhibitor of the APC/C complex, have been best characterized in oocytes where it mediates metaphase II arrest as a component of the cytostatic factor. We generated knockout mice to determine the in vivo functions of Emi2—in particular, its functions in the testis, where Emi2 is expressed at high levels. Male and female Emi2 knockout mice are viable but sterile, in
Water is a necessity for human survival, and a lack of sufficient clean water can have severe negative impacts on human health, economic activity, food security and societal relations. Increasing demand on water resources around the globe often leads to conflicts between different water users who compete for available supplies. The Murray Darling Basin (MDB) in Australia is an area that faces many
Centrum för ekonomisk demografi består av ett trettiotal medarbetare inom ekonomisk historia, nationalekonomi, samhällsmedicin, social arbete och statistik som i sin forskning tar upp ekonomiska samhällsfrågor med koppling till demografi ur ett historiskt och internationellt perspektiv. 2006 beviljades centret ett av de 20 s.k. Linnéstöd som ingår i Vetenskapsrådets nya satsning på långsiktig finaThe Centre for Economic Demography consists of more than thirty collaborators in economic history, economics, social medicine, social work and statistics that in their research focus on socioeconomic issues from a historical and international demographic perspective. In 2006 the Centre was awarded one of the so-called Linnaeus grants that form part of the Swedish Research Councils new emphasis on
Uroteliala cancer, cancer i urinblåsan, är indelad i två större typer, icke-muskelinvasiv och muskel-invasiv cancer, med skilda biologiska och kliniska egenskaper. Prognos och behandling är i huvudsak baserade på patologiska kriterier. Det faktum att endast 20-25% av höggradiga tumörer med lågt tumörstadium bekräftas efter patologisk eftergranskning, och att 30% av patienterna med intermediärt tumUrothelial cancer, bladder cancer, is divided in two major subtypes, non-muscle invasive and muscle-invasive, with very distinct biological and clinical properties. Prognosis and treatment are mainly based on pathological criteria. The fact that only 20-25% of high grade low stage tumors are confirmed by review pathology, and that 30% of patients with intermediate stage tumors are upstaged after r
