Aim: This historical prospective cohort study of the adult population of Sweden is based on data from a national registry: the primary aim was to evaluate the long-term survival of teeth after periradicular surgery. A secondary aim was to identify factors predictive of extraction within 10 years of registration of periradicular surgery. Methodology: The cohort consisted of all individuals who had
Impaired lexical retrieval is common in persons with low-grade glioma (LGG). Several studies have reported a discrepancy between subjective word-finding difficulties and results on formal tests. Analysis of spontaneous speech might be more sensitive to signs of word-finding difficulties, hence we aimed to explore disfluencies in a spontaneous-speech task performed by participants with presumed LGG
OBJECTIVE: To compare experts' perceived usefulness of audit filters from Ghana, Cameroon, WHO and those locally developed; generate context-appropriate audit filters for trauma care in selected hospitals in urban India; and explore characteristics of audit filters that correlate to perceived usefulness.DESIGN: A mixed-methods approach using a multicentre online Delphi technique.SETTING: Two large
Background: A comprehensive assessment of morbidity after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) performed in childhood remains understudied. Methods: Seven hundred eighty-nine allogeneic BMT recipients who had survived ≥2 years after BMT performed between 1974 and 2014 at age <22 years and 690 siblings completed a 255-item survey self-reporting sociodemographics and chronic health condition
The choice of procedure during public procurement is assumed to affect the overall result of the project. When studying the construction industry; delivery methods, payment systems and project specific variables may affect the end result. The question here is if project success is predicted by choice of procurement procedures. A survey was done on 222 road and railroad construction projects in Swe
Anorthoscopic vision: Designing and Sensing the Future Tom O’Dell As a means of thinking about the future and issues of uncertainty, I would like to take my point of departure in a project I completed a few years ago (O’Dell 2013) concerning plans to develop a huge particle sciences facility in Lund, called the European Spallation Source (ESS). I was the only ethnologist working with a team of 1
Preferensaktien är ett finansiellt instrument som kan liknas vid en hybrid mel lan en aktie och en obligation. Genom rätten till ett på förhand bestämt utdel ningsbelopp får aktieägarna, likt räntan på ett lån, betalt på den beslutade av stämningsdagen. Då beslut om vinstutdelning fattas på bolagsstämman upp står en fordran för aktieägaren mot bolaget. Denna fordran utgör aktieägarens egendom. LiA preference share is a financial instrument that can be characterised as a hybrid between a share and a bond. Through the right to a predetermined div idend amount, shareholders receive payment on the agreed record date, simi lar to interest on a loan. When a resolution to distribute profits is taken at the annual general meeting, a claim arises for the shareholder against the com pany. This cl
I den här studien har jag tittat på upplevelser från personer som inte känner sig inkluderade eller välkomna i ideella organisationer i Malmö som arbetar för ett mer demokratiskt samhälle. Detta har jag gjort genom att analysera intervjuer med dessa personer samt två andra organisationer genom min metod tematisk innehållsanalys utifrån min teori intersektionell feminism. Studien är placerad i MalmTo create inclusion in non-governmental organizations - A study based on people’s experiences on exclusion. In this study have I looked at the experience of people who do not feel included nor welcome in non-governmental organizations in Malmö who works towards a more democratic society. I have done this through analyzing interviews with these people as well as two other organizations through my
Sharks are an ecologically important group of fishes important to maintaining ecosystem structure and function, yet the additive effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities threaten their survival. Northwestern Atlantic populations of shortfin mako sharks and white sharks are considered threatened species, with populations in decline since the 1950s. Previous conservation efforts have a
In this project, an optical technique called gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) has been employed to investigate optical properties in scattering media such as food packages and wood materials. The GASMAS technique has been combined with a technique called frequency domain photon migration (FDPM) and from the integrated system the gas absorption signal and total optical path
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an established risk factor for intermittent claudication (IC) and other manifestations of atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease. Indications for surgery in infrainguinal IC are debated, and there are conflicting reports regarding its outcomes in patients with DM. Aims of this study were to compare both short- and long-term effects on total- and cardiovas
To study the association between induction and outcome among two-parous women in uncomplicated pregnancies ≥ 41+3, stratified by first labour delivery mode and conditions present at first delivery. The Swedish Medical Birth Register was used to identify 58,964 uncomplicated singleton pregnancies among women with one previous birth between 1998 and 2014. Women with any registered pregnancy complica
We analysed a molecular dataset of 1206 Geometroidea terminal taxa. In this paper we focus on New World taxa, with 102 Nearctic terminal taxa (97 of which have not previously been subject to molecular phylogenetic analysis) and 398 Neotropical terminal taxa (375 not previously analysed). Up to eleven molecular markers per specimen were included: one mitochondrial (COI) and ten proteincoding nuclea
The most accepted taxonomic treatment of the New World sulphurs of the genus Phoebis Hübner, [1819] recognizes 16 species including those in the current synonyms Aphrissa and Rhabdodryas. This total conflicts with the results of several recent pierid DNA barcode studies across the Neotropics. We used a five-locus dataset to carry out species delimitation analyses using the coalescence-based method
Title: Professional views on cannabis- The social problem, the question legalization and the history (translated title). Author: Kristina Jensen Supervisor: Anders Giertz Assesor: Staffan Blomberg During the year 2009 you were able to read in Swedish newspapers about the increasing use of cannabis in Sweden. This in combination with what I learned at my professional practice during the fall 2009 a
The purpose of this paper was to find out which objectives the curriculum for the compulsory basic school (Lpo 94) and the Education Act, states for the support of pupils in need of special support in general and the measure programmes in particular, furthermore which experiences the pupils and their custodians have about the support and the measure programmes, which have been offered in the compu
Histatins are a family of human salivary peptides which act as a part of the innate immune system. There are three main members of the family: Histatin 1 (Hst1), Histatin 3 (Hst3), and Histatin 5 (Hst5). Histatins have long been known to possess differing antimicrobial properties, such as antifungal and antiviral capabilities. Hst5 is generally described as the most potent antifungal peptide in th
