Laparoscopic Lavage vs Primary Resection for Acute Perforated Diverticulitis : Long-term Outcomes From the Scandinavian Diverticulitis (SCANDIV) Randomized Clinical Trial
Importance Perforated colonic diverticulitis usually requires surgical resection, with significant morbidity. Short-term results from randomized clinical trials have indicated that laparoscopic lavage is a feasible alternative to resection. However, it appears that no long-term results are available. Objective To compare long-term (5-year) outcomes of laparoscopic peritoneal lavage and primary re
The Indo-European Voice of Barbarians
In our essay we shall focus on the analyses (cum grano salis) of a limited number of words from the introductory pages of the novel Barbarians (such as gorgan, grui, crap, fală, sfadă, etc.). Here, more than elsewhere the author makes use of a good amount of rather strange words in his stylistic attempt to conceive the realm of the Dacians. We shall make an analysis of the etymology of these rathe
Cold war civil defence in western Europe : Sociotechnical imaginaries of survival and preparedness
Remembering desirable futures? : Civil defence memories and everyday life in Sweden and the United Kingdom
This chapter explores how the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries can be used to examine civil defence as remembered. In focus stand oral histories testifying to the entanglement of civil defence in everyday life. The chapter employs a historical ethnography approach, using interviews and questionnaires collected between 2006 and 2012 in Sweden and the UK. The analysis, which departs from the th
Gear tolerancing for simultaneous optimization of transmission error and contact pressure
With electrification of vehicles comes an increasing demand on low noise, which for gears translates to transmission error. In this paper, static transmission error, STE, is found for a large number of manufacturing error combinations belonging to different tolerance classes, with focus on those typically used in the automotive industry. There is a lack of studies found in the scientific literatur

Fetal Echocardiographic Dimension Indices: Important Predictors of Postnatal Coarctation
The aim of the study is to identify reliable quantitative fetal echocardiographic predictors for postnatal development of coarctation (CoA). In this retrospective study, we included 65 fetuses with a prenatally suspected, isolated CoA, born 2010–2018. Dimensions of the cardiac structures, aortic, and ductal arches expressed as ratios and Z-scores were analyzed in relation to outcome. Fetuses that
Natural clusters of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND) : new findings from the TOSCA TAND research project
BACKGROUND: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND) have unique, individual patterns that pose significant challenges for diagnosis, psycho-education, and intervention planning. A recent study suggested that it may be feasible to use TAND Checklist data and data-driven methods to generate natural TAND clusters. However, the study had a small sample size and da
Iran’s Killing Machine: Political Assassinations by the Islamic Regime
It was recently revealed that the Iranian regime was planning to assassinate the US ambassador to South Africa. Tehran denied any such plans, but a brief look at the Islamic regime’s history shows that Iran not only has the will but also the means to conduct assassinations on foreign soil.Assassinations and terrorism have been the regime’s modus operandi both at home and abroad ever since the esta
Responsibility for Funding Refractive Correction in Publicly Funded Health Care Systems: An Ethical Analysis
Allocating on the basis of need is a distinguishing principle in publicly funded health care systems. Resources ought to be directed to patients, or the health program, where the need is considered greatest. In Sweden support of this principle can be found in health care legislation. Today however some domains of what appear to be health care needs are excluded from the responsibilities of the pub

Lack of Coordination between Health Care and Social Care in Multi-Professional Teamwork : the Obstacle for Coherent Care of Older People Suffering from Multi-Morbidity
Care workers’ ambivalence towards family care partners: : informal decision-making processes when older people consider relocation to a residential home
A part of social work and apart from social work: : hospital nurses in hospital discharges of older people in Sweden
The aim of this study was to reveal how hospital nurses handle the process when older people are considering relocation to a residential home after hospitalization. The focus is of special interest as, in Sweden, hospital nurses are employed by a county council without the authority to decide on local municipal care after hospital discharge. Ten nurses from three hospital wards participated in ope

S-100 protein levels in the blood of Fischer rats exposed to 915 MHz CW-microwaves and magnetic fields.
EnglishPersson, B. R. R., Nittby Redenbrant, H., Malmgren, L., Brun, A., and Salford, L. G. (2020).

Droplet digital PCR and mile-post analysis for the detection of F8 int1h inversions
BACKGROUND: F8 int1h inversions (Inv1) are detected in 1-2% of severe hemophilia A (HA) patients. Long-range polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and inverse-shifting PCR have been used to diagnose these inversions.OBJECTIVES: To design and validate a sensitive and robust assay for detection of F8 Inv1 inversions.METHODS: Archival DNA samples were investigated using mile-post assays and droplet digital
Autonomous Wary Collision Avoidance
Handling of critical situations is an important part in the architecture of an autonomous vehicle. A controller for autonomous collision avoidance is developed based on a wary strategy that assumes the least tireroad friction for which the maneuver is still feasible. Should the friction be greater, the controller makes use of this and performs better. The controller uses an acceleration-vector ref
Autonomous-Vehicle Maneuver Planning Using Segmentation and the Alternating Augmented Lagrangian Method
Segmenting a motion-planning problem into smaller subproblems could be beneficial in terms of computational complexity. This observation is used as a basis for a new sub-maneuver decomposition approach investigated in this paper in the context of optimal evasive maneuvers for autonomous ground vehicles. The recently published alternating augmented Lagrangianmethod is adopted and leveraged on, whic
