Proton-detected NMR diffusion and P-31 NMR chemical shifts/bandwidths measurements were used to investigate a series of liposomal formulations where size and PEGylation extent need to be controlled for ultrasound mediated drug release. The width of the P-31 line is sensitive to aggregate size and shape and self-diffusion H-1 NMR conveys information about diffusional motion, size, and PEGylation ex
Objective: The authors aimed to clarify the sources of parent-child transmission for suicide attempt and death by suicide. Methods: Three sources of parent-child resemblance (genes plus rearing, genes only, and rearing only) were examined in parents and offspring from four family types from Swedish national samples: intact nuclear families, families with a not-lived-with biological father, familie
Objectives: To validate the performance of the most commonly used formulas for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) against measured GFR during the index hospitalisation for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Setting: Single centre, methodological study. Participants: 40 patients with percutaneous coronary intervention-treated STEMI were included between November 2011 and Februa
Background: Currently, hand-held gamma cameras are being developed for 99mTc imaging, mainly for sentinel lymph node detection. These cameras offer advantages, such as mobility and ease of access, and may be useful also for other applications such as biokinetic studies in animals or for imaging of small, superficial structures in patients. In this work, the suitability of a CZT-based hand-held cam

Transport energy conservation research in urban transport systems dates back principally to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) “Arab Oil Embargo” (1973–1974) and the Iranian revolution (1979), when global oil supplies became threatened and costs rose steeply. Two subsequent Gulf Wars (1991 and 2003) highlighted the dangerous geo-political dimensions of Middle-Eastern oil
Accurate seasonal forecasting of cereal yields is an important decision support tool for countries, such as Morocco, that are not self-sufficient in order to predict, as early as possible, importation needs. This study aims to develop an early forecasting model of cereal yields (soft wheat, barley and durum wheat) at the scale of the agricultural province considering the 15 most productive over 20
Aims: To analyse dosimetric and clinical predictors for acute and late gastrointestinal toxicity following chemoradiotherapy of anal cancer. Materials and methods: Consecutive patients with locally advanced (T2 ≥4 cm – T4 or N+) anal cancer were selected from an institutional database (n = 114). All received intensity-modulated radiotherapy with concomitant 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin C. Gastroin
BackgroundOver the last decades, many strategies to procure and improve xylose consumption in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been reported. This includes the introduction of efficient xylose-assimilating enzymes, the improvement of xylose transport, or the alteration of the sugar signaling response. However, different strain backgrounds are often used, making it difficult to determine if the findin
Actual evapotranspiration (AET) is one of the decisive factors controlling the water balance at the catchment level, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, but measured data for which are generally unavailable. In this study, performance of a base artificial intelligence (AI) model, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and its hybrids with two bio-inspired optimization algorithms, n
Vid utformandet av en konstitution ställs alltid frågan om vilket förhållande som bör råda mellan politik och juridik. Det är upp till varje rättssystem att reglera vilket inflytande domstolen ska ha på utformningen av lagstiftningen. När det kommer till lagstiftning kan förhållandet mellan judiciell aktivism från domstolens sida och demokrati beskrivas som en dikotomi där två vitt skilda metoder When drafting a Constitution, the relationship between politics and law must always be determined. It is up to each legal system to regulate what influence the court should have on the formulation of legislation. When it comes to legislation, the relationship between judicial activism and democracy, can be described as a dichotomy in which two widely different methods stand for different ideals. T
FN:s konvention om barns rättigheter fastslår att barn ska ses som fullständiga rättighetsbärare. När socialnämnden ansöker om tvångsvård med stöd av lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga, LVU förordnas ett offentligt biträde åt barnet, som även blir barnets ställföreträdare. Det offentliga biträdet ska se till barnets subjektiva vilja och barnets objektiva intresse utifrån baThe UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states that children are holders of rights. When the social welfare committee apply for compulsory care under the Care of Young Persons act (LVU) a public counsel is appointed by the court. The counsel does not only become the child’s public legal representative, but also its children’s guardian, because of the lack of procedural capacity. The obligatio
Skadeståndsprocesser mot styrelseledamöter har historiskt varit ovanliga i Sverige men antalet fall har ökat på senare år. Styrelseledamöters skadeståndsansvar regleras i 29 kap. 1 § aktiebolagslagen (ABL) och av särskilt intresse för denna framställning är de fall där styrelseledamöterna orsakat skada för bolaget genom dåliga affärsbeslut. I USA skyddas styrelseledamöter i dessa fall av business Claims for damages against board members have historically been unusual in Sweden but have started to increase in recent years. The responsibility of board members is regulated in the 29th chapter 1 § of the Swedish Companies Act (SCA) and of particular interest for this essay are the cases where the board has caused damage upon the company through bad business decisions. In such cases in the US,

Behovet av att estimera elförbrukningen timme för timme under årets alla dagar har funnits länge hos elnätsbolag och forskare, framför allt på nätstationsnivå. Många metoder som används i Sverige idag är dock gamla och använder endast kundernas årsförbrukning som indata under hela året trots att det blir allt vanligare med nätbolag som mäter energiförbrukningen varje timme hos samtliga kunder. MedThe power system today is facing a transformation from fossil and nuclear energy sources to renewable energy sources such as solar- and wind power. At the same time electric vehicles are becoming more common every year. To analyse how these two changes affect the power system it is crucial to understand how loaded the power system is today from traditional loads on a local and regional level. The
The increasing amount of renewable energy in the electrical grid comes with several challenges, of which overvoltage and congestion (overcurrents) are the subjects of this work. One flexible way of handling these problems is active management by some control system. There is a trade-off between simplicity when implementing the control system and the performance. In the project Active Network Manag

The analysis is qualitative and based on semi-structured interviews with six people with experience from social work with this group. Our result showed that social work interventions can be found in three levels: community level, group level
Återfall i brottslighet har under alla tider varit ett vanligt förekommande problem. Unga personer, dömda till sluten ungdomsvård, löper på grund av sin låga ålder extra stor risk att återfalla i brott. Svensk statistik uppvisar att så många som 60 procent återfaller i brottslighet redan inom ett års tid. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vilka orsaker som kan hänföras till återfall i brottslighet efRecidivism has always been a common problem. Young people, who are convicted and subjected to closed institutional youth care detention (LSU) runs, due to their young age, a particularly high risk to reoffend. Swedish criminal statistics shows that as many as 60 percent relapse into crime within a year. The purpose of this essay is to investigate the causes that can be attributed to relapse into c
