Cervical myoma causing colonic obstruction in the first trimester of pregnancy – a case report

A 39-year-old nulliparous woman with a previously known cervical myoma was admitted to the obstetrics department during the first trimester with complaints of severe abdominal pain, lack of bowel movements and the suspicion of a clinical bowel obstruction. Because no literature on this exact condition could be found, clinical decisions were based on reports and practice in similar situations. Ultr

Removal of organic micropollutantns from wastewater in a Swedish context

Due to their potential environmental risk, the abatement of organic micropollutants from wastewater has gained increasing attention in recent years. This thesis evaluates the use of ozone in Swedish wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the incentives for full-scale implementation of organic micropollutant removal.This work is divided into two sections: the first segment comprises quantitative rDue to their potential environmental risk, the abatement of organic micropollutants from wastewater has gained increasing attention in recent years.

Why tackling deforestation is so important for slowing climate change

Humanity injects an almost incomprehensible 42 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere every year. The majority of this comes from burning fossil fuels, but a substantial portion, about 16%, arises from how we use the land. Most of these land-use emissions are caused by deforestation, particularly in the tropics.In order to slow climate change, the global community needs to redu

Spåren efter Gustav Möller : Om socialpolitiska bakgrunder

Gustav Möller (1884-1970) var Sveriges socialminister under en korttid kring mitten av 1920-talet samt mellan åren 1932 och 1951 medett par kortare avbrott. Han var folkhemmets ”arkitekt” eller ”Socialsverigesskapare” som förre statsministern Tage Erlander uttryckte det.Möller var en kraftfull socialminister med en tydlig ideologi. Vägledandeprinciper för Möller var bland annat att socialpolitiken

Urban Climate Governance : Towards 1.5° Celsius Alignment

At the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, nations around the world reached a landmark agreement to unify in an effort to combat climate change. The main goal of the Paris agreement is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping global temperature rise well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and preferably to limit the temperature rise even further to 1.

'2011 unshackled the space’: spatial analysis of diverging youth political agency in the Syrian conflict

Despite the passing in 2015 of UNSCR 2250 on Youth, Peace, and Security, the study of young people’s political agency in conflict, and the possibilities for empowerment and transformative change, remains sparse. This article investigates generative processes of youth political agency in the Syrian war since 2011 and under what conditions conflict has politically empowered/disempowered youth. Drawi

As of 2014, villages in the provinces where metropolitan municipalities ruled in Turkey have been transformed into the status of neighborhood administration and the practice of providing services to rural settlements has been started by municipalities. Significant exceptions and exemptions had to be granted for five years in order to protect rural dwellers against local obligations. However, after

Ethicisation and reliance on ethics expertise

Ethicisation refers to the tendency to frame issues in ethical terms and can be observed in different areas of society, particularly in relation to policy-making on emerging technologies. The turn to ethics implies increased use of ethics expertise, or at least an expectation that this is the case. Calling for experts on ethics when ethically complicated questions need to be handled helps us to upEthicisation refers to the tendency to frame issues in ethical terms and can be observed in different areas of society, particularly in relation to policy-making on emerging technologies.

Factors Associated with Adherence To a Supervised Exercise Intervention for Osteoarthritis : Data From the Swedish Osteoarthritis Registry

OBJECTIVE: To explore how lifestyle and demographic, socioeconomic and disease-related factors are associated with supervised exercise adherence in an osteoarthritis (OA) management programme and their ability to explain exercise adherence.METHODS: A cohort register-based study on participants from the 'Swedish Osteoarthritis Registry' who attended the exercise part of a nationwide Swedish OA mana

Viktigt att agera snabbt vid traumatiska orbitala tillstånd : Risk för permanent synnedsättning och dubbelseende vid felaktig eller fördröjd handläggning

The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of appropriate management of acute orbital trauma, in order to prevent permanent impaired vision and double vision. Orbital blowout fractures with entrapment, so-called trapdoor fractures, occur more often in children than in adults, and require immediate surgical intervention. A blowout fracture with impingement, so-called open door fract

Shining a light on bumblebee foraging strategies: bumblebee species niche partitioning is related to visual sensory traits

Local coexistence of bees has been explained by flower resource partitioning, but coexisting bumblebee species often have strongly overlapping diets. We investigated if light microhabitat niche separation, underpinned by visual traits, could serve as an alternative mechanism underlying local coexistence of bumblebee species. To this end, we focused on a homogeneous flower resource—bilberry—in a he

Abstract in GreekΠερίληψηΟ Μηχανισμός των Αντικυθήρων αποτελεί ένα μοναδικό εύρημα. Η έρευνά του απασχολεί επιστήμονες προερχόμενους από ένα ευρύ φάσμα ειδικοτήτων και τα αποτελέσματά της φανερώνουν τον ανεπτυγμένο βαθμό της επιστημονικής εξέλιξης της εποχής, που κατασκευάστηκε ο Μηχανισμός, ξαναγράφοντας την ιστορία της τεχνολογίας. Μετά από έναν και πλέον αιώνα από την εύρεση του, αρχαιολόγοι επ

Hydroxide conducting BAB triblock copolymers tailored for durable high-performance anion exchange membranes

Well-designed block copolymers with a controlled co-continuous microphase morphology can be applied as efficient anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for fuel cells and water electrolyzers. In the present work, we have prepared and studied a series of BAB triblock copolymers consisting of a central cationic polyfluorene A block with flanking hydrophobic polystyrene B blocks, where the fluorene units of

Technological innovations applied in the underwater survey of the Antikythera shipwreck : Conference Presentation for the B’ Symposium “New Technologies in Service to Our Knowledge of Antiquity”, 2015

The Antikythera Wreck represents a unique example of implementation and development of technological methods and systems aiding archaeological research. Since 1900, when the wreck was discovered, the challenges posed by the underwater environment and the variety of archaeological data hidden in the multifarious artifacts has been yielding great opportunities for technological innovation. Research

Data and interpretations on the discovery of the Antikythera Mechanism. Notes for the future

For more than a century the research on the Antikythera Mechanism engaged scientists from a widerange of scientific disciplines searching for clues, in order to solve the mystery that this unique ar-chaeological find poses. The results so far have been spectacular enough to re-write the History ofTechnology providing new aspects on the degree of technological sophistication and scientific de-velop

"[Y]oung Hamlet" : Shakespeare for Swedish Children

Shakespeare's Hamlet has been retold in children's versions several times in Sweden in recent years. It was the subject of the first episode of the children's television programme På teatern [At the Theatre], written and directed by Christina Nilsson for SVT in 2001–2002, where Shakespearean actors meet their child or grandchild backstage after a performance to tell and partly enact the story of t
