BACKGROUND: Oesophageal cancer management requires extensive in-hospital care. This cohort study aimed to quantify in-hospital care for patients with oesophageal cancer in relation to intended treatment, and to analyse factors associated with risk of spending a large proportion of survival time in hospital. METHODS: All patients with oesophageal cancer in three nationwide registers over a 10-year

In the future atmospheric CO2 concentrations might exceed 550 ppm according to the RCP8.5 scenario by mid-century from our current 410 ppm, while our world population is projected to surpass the 9.7 billion threshold within the same time span. This challenge leads to the raising of questions addressing future food security. Elevated CO2 has been shown to not only increase photosynthetic rates in
Ett entreprenadavtal kan förstås som ett materiellt uppdragsavtal, där beställaren uppdrar åt entreprenören att utföra arbete för beställarens räkning. Därigenom uppstår ett principal- och agentförhållande där beställaren är principal och entreprenören agent. Även om AB 04 bygger på en balans mellan parterna och syftar till en ekonomiskt optimal riskfördelning, aktualiserar löpande räkning särskilA construction contract may be understood as a contract, under which the employer instructs the contractor to perform work on the employer´s behalf. This gives rise to a principal-agent relationship, in which the employer is the principal and the contractor is the agent. Although AB 04 is based on a balance between the parties and aims to achieve an economically optimal allocation of risk, cost-pl
Irregular QC LDPC codes with parity-check matrices having different degree distributions are studied. A new algorithm for finding regular and irregular QC LDPC codes with a good girth profile as well as a good sliding-window girth is presented. As examples, simulation results for QC LDPC codes with good girth profile, rate R=4/5, and lengths about 1000, 2000, and 4000, constructed from base matric
This study was conducted as part of a government commission which wasgiven to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Swedish EPA) in 2014.The Environmental Protection Agency mandated the International Institutefor Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University to conducta research study on nudging. The study has served and will serve as a directinput to further strategic work

Popular Abstract in English Research has shown the Ugandan construction industry to be, primarily, an informal sector dominated by unskilled labour contracted mainly on minor building works such as alterations and renovations. Within such a context, the industry has also received negative publicity due to increasing quality failures on sites – commonly referred to as shoddy work.

This study tests the theory of Authoritarian Stability against the expectation that security services are essential for preventing the fall of the regime in Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in the lead up to the Arab Spring. A most similar comparative case study is used as method. Authoritarian stability is operationalised as the ruler maintaining the support from domestic elites and from external powers
Automatic localisation of correspondences for the construction of Statistical Shape Models from examples has been the focus of intense research during the last decade. Several algorithms are available and benchmarking is needed to rank the different algorithms. Prior work has focused on evaluating the quality of the models produced by the algorithms by measuring compactness, generality and specifi
The aim of the study was to determine how significance indicators assigned to different Web page elements (internal metadata, title, headings, and main text) influence automated classification. The data collection that was used comprised 1000 Web pages in engineering, to which Engineering Information classes had been manually assigned. The significance indicators were derived using several differe
