Departure fuel loads in time-minimizing migrating birds can be explained by the energy costs of being heavy

This is an effect of the increasing flight costs associated with increasing body mass. Lindstr

Should immediate breast reconstruction be performed in the setting of radiotherapy? An ethical analysis

mmediate breast reconstruction (IBR) combined with post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is associated with an increased risk for complications. Here, we analyse whether IBR combined with PMRT is ethically acceptable. We employ normative analysis following reflective equilibrium and the principles of Beauchamp and Childress: non-maleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice.

Postoperative pain management after total hip arthroplasty. A focus on evidence, clinical practice and the individual patient’s pain response.

Background: Patients experiencing high levels of pain after surgery remains a considerable clinical problem. Often, no consensus about the best analgesic treatment is present.

In terms to step forward, a focus on the individual patients´ pain levels is needed and an identification of the

Corporate Governance and the Design of Boards of Directors

Paper 1: “The Effects of Board Independence on Busy Directors and Firm Value: Evidence from Regulatory Changes in Sweden.” I use an exogenous change to the rules of corporate governance for Swedish firms in 2005 to identify the causal effects of changes in board structure on firm value.
