Background: Several diagnostic prediction models to help clinicians discriminate between benign and malignant adnexal masses are available. This study is a head-to-head comparison of the performance of the Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa (ADNEX) model with that of the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA). Methods: This is a retrospective study based on prospectively include

This literature review offers a continuum of arguments for family historians being a vital part of the digital heritage practices found in the combined ecosystem of libraries, archives and the digital humanities. In digital heritage, there is an increased focus on public participation efforts such as crowdsourcing and educational programmes, emphasising representation, inclusivity and diversity. T

The measurement and application of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) in solution NMR studies of biological macromolecules has become well established over the past quarter of a century. Numerous methods for generating the requisite anisotropic orientational molecular distribution have been demonstrated, each with its specific strengths and weaknesses. In parallel, an enormous number of pulse schem

This thesis explores the question of whether European States, with a specific emphasis on European Union (EU) Member States, can be held responsible for the enforced disappearance of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Following the migration crisis of 2015, EU policy and measures on migration revealed a strong focus on protecting the external bo

Objective: To report national data on diagnostics and treatment of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) from the Swedish National Registry of Urinary Bladder Cancer (SNRUBC). Patients and methods: Data from 2015 to 2021 were retrieved, and descriptive analyses were performed regarding incidence, diagnostic modalities, preoperative tumor staging, quality indicators for treatment including the us

The Central Asian region, with its young and industrious population, abundant natural resources, and rich history, has all the potential for success. In this context, countries in the region are implementing policies to attract foreign investment for the development of their economies. This report serves as a guide to the socio-economic and political-legal aspects of two major countries in the reg

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are essential for nitrogen (N) cycling in many temperate forests and responsive to anthropogenic N addition, which generally decreases host carbon (C) allocation to the fungi. In the boreal region, however, ectomycorrhizal fungal biomass has been found to correlate positively with soil N availability. Still, responses to anthropogenic N input, for instance through atmospheric

Background: Brain CT can be used to evaluate pediatric patients with suspicion of cerebral pathology when anesthetic and MRI resources are scarce. This study aimed to assess if pediatric patients referred for an elective brain CT could endure a diagnostic fast brain MRI without general anesthesia using a one-minute multi-contrast EPI-based sequence (EPIMix) with comparable diagnostic performance.

This paper explores the processing of sensitive personal data for genealogical purposes by studying how the privacy policies of three direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies relate to the general Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The methodological approach is content analysis. The privacy policies are analysed in relation to the three core principles of 1) adherence to GDPR; 2) transparent

How to construct and facilitate participatory and playful opera? Through this interdisciplinary artistic research project within the fields of music drama / opera and game studies, I seek to develop a framework for alternative and innovative opera concepts – based on immersion, relations and play. The term that I propose for this type of contemporary music theatre is ludo-immersive opera (related

FilmArray® Meningitis/Encephalitis panel (FAME-p) is used to diagnose central nervous system (CNS) infections. In this study, we investigated performance of FAME-p compared to comparator assays (CA), and for the first time, clinical diagnosis at discharge (CDD). 1000 consecutive patients with a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample analyzed with FAME-p were identified. As CA, culture, polymerase chain

Uppsatsen belyser förekomst av och egenskaper i en tystnadskultur i samband med anmälningar av sexuella övergrepp inom dövvärlden, med särskild fokus på individer inom denna gemenskap vars primära kommunikationsmedel är teckenspråk. Syftet med uppsatsen är att illustrera komplexiteten för döva individer när det gäller att rapportera sexuella övergrepp inom dövvärlden, vilket påverkas av olika aspe

The Båstad tennis protest of 1968: Left-wing activism and right-wing counter-mobilisationIn the spring of 1968, Sweden was supposed to play a Davis Cup tennis match against Rhodesia, a quasi-apartheid state in southern Africa. The game was scheduled to be played on 3 May in the small town of Båstad in southern Sweden. However, hundreds of anti-racist activists gathered and stopped the game from st

The heavy-duty industry typically uses a high cetane fuel to power their vehicles, currently typically fossil diesel. Switching to renewable fuels such as methanol requires a major changeover in engine technology. Due to the high octane number of methanol, the diesel engines will have to be replaced by more suitable spark-ignited engines. An accurate knock control system will then be needed to acc
