Background: Recent studies show that FVIIa binds to endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) on vascular endothelium; however, the importance of this interaction in hemostasis or pathophysiology is unknown. Objective, The aim of the present study is to investigate the role of FVIIa interaction with EPCR on the endothelium in mediating FVIIa transport from the circulation to extravascular tissues

BACKGROUND: Stroke is common in cancer patients, but risk estimates for different cancer sites/types have not been determined. The aim of this nationwide study was to examine whether there is an association between cancer and first hospitalisation for haemorrhagic or ischaemic stroke. METHODS: All 820,491 individuals in Sweden with a diagnosis of cancer between 1st January 1987 and 31st December 2

AIM: The aim of this paper was to define the incidence of disease progression of the contralateral internal carotid artery (CICA) in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and to identify factors influencing disease progression. METHODS: Patients from our primary catchment area that had undergone CEA between 2002 and 2005 were included. The study cohort was divided in four groups based

Affinity extraction of dye- and metal ion-binding proteins, respectively, in a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP40)-Reppal PES 100 two-phase system was investigated. Due to the ability of PVP to complex azo dyes and inorganic ions, covalent coupling of the ligands was not essential. Cibacron Blue F3GA was used as the ligand for extraction of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from porcine muscle, while copper io

A method for simultaneous extraction and quantification Of four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) based on continuous flow hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (CFHF-LPME) was developed. The effect of sample flow rate, acceptor flow rate, type of acceptor flow (continuous, semi-continuous or forward-backward), type of supported liquid membrane and sample volume was studied. The e

In this thesis work, a highly linear passive attenuator and mixer were designed to be used in a wide-band Transmission Observation Receiver (TOR). The TOR is a low IF receiver that accepts RF frequencies from 2GHz to 7GHz, and produces corresponding IF bandwidths of 280MHz to 990MHz respectively, using low side LO injection. The dynamic range is maximized by using passive topologies for both the a

Syfte Syftet med denna uppsats är på kort sikt undersöka om det finns en optimal placeringshorisont för frimärksaktier efter deras IPO. Utifrån detta analyseras huruvida en investeringsstrategi kan skapas som genererar överavkastning i förhållande till OMXSPI. Metod Studien är en kvantitativ eventstudie som enbart använder sekundärdata. Studien använder ett antal olika statistiska och ekonometrPurpose The purpose for this thesis is to evaluate the short-term optimal holding period for penny stocks on the Swedish market after IPO. It analyzes if there can be an investment strategy formed that yields an abnormal return compared to the general index OMXSPI. Methodology This study is a quantitative event study that only utilizes secondary data. The paper uses several different statistica

I kommersiella relationer är det vanligt att kontraktuella rättigheter överlåts till tredje part. Om huvudavtalet innehåller ett skiljeavtal uppstår frågan huruvida de nya parterna automatiskt i och med rättighetsöverlåtelsen är automatiskt bundna även av detta. Den tillträdande avtalsparten har av HD ansetts skiljebunden på grund av rättspolitiska överväganden och principerna i 27 § SkbrL. FråganIn commercial relationships, it is common that contractual rights are transferred to third parties. If the general agreement contains an arbitration agreement, the question arises if the agreement to arbitrate after a transfer of rights becomes automatically binding between the new parties. For instance, The Supreme Court has ruled that the new party is automatically bound due to legal policy cons

Utveckling av mätteknik för mätning av rörligheten i knäleder hos barn med Cerebral pares Cerebral pares (CP) är en neurologisk störning som kan leda till förlust eller nedsättning av de motoriska funktioner som påverkar kroppens rörelser, muskelkontroll, koordination och balans. CP kan orsaka obalanser mellan musklerna som kan leda till kontrakturer. Kontrakturer innebär att musklerna förkortas Cerebral Palsy, commonly referred to as CP, is a neurological disorder that results in loss or impairment of motor function, which affects body movement, muscle control, muscle coordination and balance. In Sweden, about 200 children are diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy every year and the disorder can cause imbalances between the muscles. These imbalances can lead to contractures which is equiva- lent

Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka om brottslagstiftningen, närmare bestämt uppsåtsrekvisitet, fängelsepresumtionen och bestämmelsen om rättspsykiatrisk vård, tillämpas enhetligt när det gäller psykiskt störda lagöverträdare? Efter att ha besvarat den frågan skulle svaret fungera som ett underlag för en diskussion om huruvida rättstillämpningen vid allvarlig psykisk störning är förutsebar ur ett rThe purpose of the essay was to investigate whether criminal law, in particular the necessary intentional prerequisite, the presumption of prison and the provision of forensic psychiatric care, is applied uniformly in the case of mentally disrupted offenders? After answering that question, the answer would serve as a basis for a discussion as to whether law enforcement in case of severe mental dis

Fintrådiga alger – husligt eller kusligt för djuren? Som många säkert vet har Östersjön varit (och är!) utsatt för många påtryckningar från oss människor. Näringsämnen från åkermark, utlopp, bekämpningsmedel har fått åka rakt ut i havet vilket har lett till övergödningen av Östersjön. Utöver det har det bedrivits ett överfiske under en lång tid som bland annat har minskat antalet stora rovfiskar.Macroalgae are important habitats which can be found almost all over the world. An alteration has been observed from perennial species to annual filamentous algae during the last decades. This change has affected the abundance, diversity and composition of the invertebrate fauna living in these habitats. This study observes how the increasing amounts of epiphytic, filamentous algae growing on the

The purpose of this paper is to design a new lightweight and compact antenna system for harmonic radar applications to be used to trace the migration of the Bogong moths. The main approach adopted in this paper to solve this problem is to build three antennas suitable for use in the real environment, where the modeling and the simulations were done in CST Microwave Studio Suite 2018. The principle

Germany’s Energy Concept aims to reduce the building sector’s primary energy demand by 80% compared to 2008 levels, of which 20% are to be achieved by 2020. This requires significant investment in integrated renewables and thermal. Public funds cannot finance such transition alone. Therefore, it is crucial to not only understand current investment levels and potential investment gaps, but also to

Intresset för att bygga fler och högre trähus i Sverige har senaste tiden ökat bland annat då trä är ett betydligt mer miljövänligt alternativ att bygga med än stål och betong. Stomsystem i trä har dock ingen naturlig sammanhållning likt en platsgjuten betongstomme och därför måste anslutningarna i en trästomme hanteras explicit. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) driver en konceptstudie om högaThe interest in building more and higher timber buildings in Sweden has recently increased, for example, because wood is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to construct with then steel and concrete. Frame system in wood has no natural cohesion like a cast concrete frame and therefore the connection in a wooden frame must be managed explicitly. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) run

Insects have been recommended by the FAO as a sustainable food alternative to meat. Despite their nutritional quality and sustainability, most Western countries still see insects as belonging far away from the dinner table. Although still a niche market, Denmark has been at the forefront of innovation and adoption of edible insects. I used integral theory to map out the structural, cultural and pe

Hur kan biologisk mångfald gynnas i en företagspark? Hur ska både människor och natur få plats i en alltmer urbaniserad värld? Kunskapen om hur biologisk mångfald påverkas av byggnadsprojekt behöver öka, samtidigt som stadens gröna områden behöver stödjas och utvecklas för att gynna fler arter. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt förutsättningarna för fåglar och pollinerande insekter i företagUrbanization is causing impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services globally, due to disturbance, fragmentation and loss of habitats as the proportion of urban settlement increases. Actions for enhancement of biodiversity in urban spaces become important to achieve a sustainable urbanization.
