Advancing the treatment of human agency in the analysis of regional economic development : Illustrated with three Norwegian cases

Human agency has become a core topic in economic geography complementing traditional, structural approaches to explain regional development. This paper contributes firstly with a discussion of the theoretical and conceptual relationships between the agency of individuals, organizations, and systems. Secondly, it proposes a novel analytical framework for studying how human agency, combined with ext

Extramedullary Cavernous Hemangioma with Intradural and Extradural Growth and Clinical Symptoms of Brown-Séquard Syndrome: : Case Report and Review of the Literature

Background: Primary spinal tumors are rare. Symptoms depend on the size and location of the tumor.Case description: A patient presented with a rare clinical finding, Brown-Séquard syndrome. The symptoms were caused by an extramedullary tumor compressing on the thoracic spinal cord. Pathologic examination showed cavernous hemangioma with growth both intradurally and extradurally.Conclusions: This i

Satellite Monitoring of Railways using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR)

There is over 15,600 km of track in the Swedish railroad network. This network is vital for the transportation of people and goods across the country. It is important that this network is monitored and maintained to ensure good function and safety. A tool for monitoring and measuring ground deformation over a large area remotely with high frequency and accuracy was developed in recent decades. Thi

Explosion of the urinary bladder during transurethral resection of the prostate

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard for the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Complications during the procedure are rare. An extremely rare complication is a rupture of the urinary bladder. This article reports a case where an explosion occurred during TURP, resulting in a large intraperitoneal rupture of the urinary bladder. The patient unde

The aim of this study was to determine the disease's prevalence in Iceland and outcome of the patients diagnosed in the study period.Patients and methods: This was a retrospective study of all diagnosed patients w

Use of 3 Dimensional Models and Navigation System in Preparation for Brain Surgery

This paper shows the advantage of using both 3d models and surgical navigation system when preparing and planning complex brain surgery. The novel clinical process introduced here combine CT and MRI images in special computer program where the regions of interest are isolated e.g. the skull base, tumor and other soft tissue. A 3D model is calculated from the segmented masks and printed using Rapid

Vision-based Tracking of Surgical Motion during Live Open-Heart Surgery

AbstractBackgroundMotion tracking during live surgeries may be used to assess surgeons’ intra-operative performance, provide feedback, and predict outcome. Current assessment protocols rely on human observations, controlled laboratory settings, or tracking technologies not suitable for live operating theatres. In this study, a novel method for motion tracking of live open-heart surgery was develop

Solitary retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma

Retroperitoneal tumours rarely cause significant symptoms, therefore they are frequently diagnosed incidentally. Ganglioneuroma is a rare tumour that most often present in the posterior mediastinum or the retroperitoneal cavity. In the present case, a solitary ganglioneuroma is diagnosed in the retroperitoneum in an young healthy male, a rather typical presentation of this benign tumour.

Enhancing Environmental Protection in Relation to Armed Conflict: An Assessment of the ILC Draft Principles

The Role of Multilateral Environmental Agreements : A Reconciliatory Approach to Environmental Protection in Armed Conflict

The environment suffers enormously during armed conflicts and, despite the increasing awareness of the pressing need to protect the planet, devastating environmental damage can occur legally at times of war. This book suggests that – apart from the protection offered under law of armed conflict – environmental treaties or multilateral agreements (MEAs) can complement and strengthen environmental p

Bröstsmärta vid covid-19 var troligen virusorsakad myokardit

Vi redogör för ett patientfall med covid-19-associerad myokardit.Patienten hade förhöjda hjärtskademarkörer, men inte avsevärt stegrade inflammationsmarkörer såsom D-dimer och interleukin-6. Tidigare fallrapporter indikerar att en myokarditbild kan uppträda vid covid-19, både genom förekomst av sars-cov-2 i myokardiet och immunologisk aktivering. I detta fall var orsaken sannolikt infektion i myok

This article aims at questioning the uses of feminist epistemologies and methodologies in the context of a fieldwork project conducted in Colombia on the return to civilian life of female combatants. While the topic « female combatants »tends to be the object of an academic over-investment, contributing to its depoliticization, the Authors discuss the various approaches, tools and methods produced

Ultra-rare sarcomas: A consensus paper from the Connective Tissue Oncology Society community of experts on the incidence threshold and the list of entities

Background: Among sarcomas, which are rare cancers, many types are exceedingly rare; however, a definition of ultra-rare cancers has not been established. The problem of ultra-rare sarcomas is particularly relevant because they represent unique diseases, and their rarity poses major challenges for diagnosis, understanding disease biology, generating clinical evidence to support new drug developmen
