Background: Altered metabolism after liver surgery adds complexity topostoperative pain management. Opioids administered via intravenousPatient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) is one of the main alternatives forinitial pain management. Paracetamol is considered potentially dangerousafter liver surgery but used selectively. This study evaluates whether thereis a difference in patient outcome after hepat

The field of biological psychiatry faces a growing influx of digital biomarkers spanning self-report, social, behavioral, cognitive, and physiological indicators of various mental health conditions. However, the definition of “digital biomarker,” particularly the “bio-” component, remains unclear. This article reviews the terminology of digital biomarkers in psychiatry and argues for the reservati
Popular Abstract in Swedish Synd och skam. Ogifta mödrar på svensk landsbygd, 1680-1880. Avhandlingens utgångspunkt har varit ogifta mödrar på svensk landsbygd i ett långtidsperspektiv, 1680-1880. Arbetet är kvinnohistoriskt och utgår från en önskan att synliggöra betydelsen av kön i det äldre samhället. Hur tänkte och resonerade man kring kön och sexualitet i det förindustriella bondesamhället? The situation of unmarried mothers in Swedish rural society during 1680–1880 is the subject of this thesis. It focuses on the judicial and religious discourse concerning extra-marital sexuality. The state felt duty-bound to control extra-marital sexuality, and this resulted in a dynamic legislative arena. An important objective has been to study the local consequences of legislative changes and ex
Software engineering practices, including continuous integration, continuous testing, and continuous deployment, aim to streamline and automate the software development process. A cultural and professional movement that builds upon continuous practices, DevOps, seeks to bridge the gap between development and operations. By fostering a collaborative environment, DevOps supports faster, more frequen
The capabilities of ultrasound optical tomography (UOT) is investigated through Monte Carlo simulations on realistic breast tissue phantoms constructed using the OpenVCT platform. This work indicates that UOT is a method capable of distinguishing malignant tumor tissue from benign glandular tissue deep inside the breast, despite the natural variations of adipose and glandular compartments within a
Quantum memories for quantum communication need to be able to store photons for an extended time and then to release them on demand. This can be achieved in atomic frequency comb ensemble-based quantum memories by control pulses that transfer the excitation to and from long-lived spin states. However, such pulses can give rise to coherent and incoherent noise due to their interaction with the memo

Remote sensing observations and artificial intelligence algorithms have emerged as key components for crop yield estimation at various scales during the past decades. However, the utilization of multi-source satellite data and machine learning for estimating aggregated crop yield at the regional level in Europe has been only scarcely explored. Our study aims to bridge this research gap by focusing
Background: Four reports, published in the form of pre-prints or peer-reviewed articles, have recently described that spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 (SCA4) is caused by expansion of GGC repeats in exon 10 of ZFHX3 . None of the independent reports have definitely established if longer repeats are associated with earlier disease onset.Methods: We compiled clinical and genetic data from all four publ
Background: Combined movement disorders often represent a diagnostic challenge. Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by genetic and clinical heterogeneity. A recurring p.(Glu303del)-deletion in TOR1A is a well-established cause for DYT-TOR1A (DYT1) dystonia. TOR1A encodes TorsinA, an AAA+ ATPase located in the nuclear envelope. Hemichorea-hemiballismus syndrome can occur after basal gangl
