This thesis deals with the development of socioeconomic position and outcomes on health in Ireland and Greece after the hit of the financial crisis. This is done with the application of Weber’s theoretical approach on class, status, and power and the theoretical underlying of the concept of socioeconomic position. Additionally, this research is conducted through a quantitative case study, analyzin
Avtal kan, med vissa undantag, omfatta i stort sett vad som helst. Varje dag ingås enormt många avtal och den vanligaste typen av avtal torde vara rena köpeavtal. Trots att denna typ av avtal generellt sett har ett liknande innehåll och ändamål, d.v.s. parterna avtalar i regel om en naturaprestation och en penningprestation, kan avtalens utformning variera. Detta inkluderar givetvis de påföljder s
Användandet av varumärken har gått från att enbart vara ett sätt att ange kommersiellt ursprung till att även kunna förmedla en image och vara ett sätt att marknadsföra sig. På grund av den stora mängden varumärken i dagens samhälle har nya vägar för att kunna skilja sig från mängden varit tvungna att finnas, vilket har lett till en ökad användning av okonventionella varumärken, exempelvis dofter.
Background: Fluorescent light (FL)-guided cystoscopy induced by 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) has been reported to detect more tumours compared with standard white-light (WL) cystoscopy. Most reports are from single centres with relatively few patients. Objective: To evaluate whether 5-ALA-induced FL and WL cystoscopy at transurethral resection (TUR) is superior compared with standard procedures u
Popular Abstract in Swedish Invasiv candidiasis är en allvarlig jästsvampinfektion hos redan svårt sjuka patienter och denna infektion har ökat under de senaste årtiondena. Blododling, som ärreferensdiagnostisk metod för denna infektion, har relativt låg känslighet liksom detektion av Candidaspecifika antikroppar och antigener. Utvecklingen av PCR baserade diagnostik går långsamt och det saknas stInvasive candidiasis (IC) is a serious condition and timely diagnosis with early initiation of antifungal therapy is imerative for improving outcomes. Arabinitol is a sugar alcohol with two stereoisomers, D-arabinitol (DA) and L-arabintiol (LA). Several pathogenic Candida species produce DA in vitro and high DA levels have been detected in serum and urine in patients with IC. Renal dysfunction aff
We examine the formation of vortices in a one- and two-component gas of bosonic atoms in a harmonic trap that is set rotating. Both the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii approach, and the numerical diagonalization method are employed. For a two-component Bose gas, we show that beside the well-known coreless vortices of single quantization, the interatomic interactions between the two species may lead to
Popular Abstract in Swedish För att få svar på frågan om prostarnas lojalitet i samband med ”försvenskningen” av Lunds stift på 1680-talet, har jag använt lokalt material såsom räkenskaper och längder. Jämfört med den tidigare forskningen har mer preciserade och delvis annorlunda resultat presenterats, både vad gäller prostarnas lojalitet och ”försvenskningens” intensitet. Prostarna var ambivalentAfter the Peace of Roskilde in 1658, the territory that Sweden had acquired was to be incorporated into the rest of the country. A 'Swedification' of the church and the services did not begin until 1680, when a new bishop took up his duties in the Lund diocese. Previous research has been concentrated around the events on the national and diocese levels. The aim of this study is to use more local m
In this paper I discuss two surprising facs in Swedish grammar, the presence of a particular active verb form, the supine, after auxiliary have in perfect and pluperfect, and the free word order found in the middle fielld of main clauses. The supine is not found in any other Germanic language, and is presumably to be seen as a result of a historical coincidence. The free word order in the middle f
The paper considers a problem of routing, protection and load balancing in the IP/MPLS network. A network design problem combining all these aspects is presented. Proportionally fair distribution of residual bandwidths on links is used for load balancing, and protection is achieved with failure-dependent backup paths. The efficiency of the proposed approach is tested by combining optimization and
One of the prototype compounds for metal-metal multiple bonding, the Re2Cl82- ion, has been studied theoretically using multiconfigurational quantum chemical methods. The molecular structure of the ground state has been determined. It is shown that the effective bond order of the Re-Re bond is close to three, due to the weakness of, in particular, the bond. The electronic spectrum has been calcula
Abstract in UndeterminedWe discuss the combination of a hybrid finite element approach and three-dimensional Voronoi-based mesh discretisations for electromechanically coupled problems. The fluxes, i.e. the stresses and electric displacements, are defined within the volume of the polygonal finite elements, whereas the displacements and electric potential are approximated on the boundaries of the e
Background: Asthma genetics has been extensively studied and many genes have been associated with the development or severity of this disease. In contrast, the genetic basis of allergic rhinitis (AR) has not been evaluated as extensively. It is well known that asthma is closely related with AR since a large proportion of individuals with asthma also present symptoms of AR, and patients with AR hav
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i Sverige, men även män kan drabbas. Hos män är det dock en mycket ovanlig cancerform. I Sverige insjuknar cirka 40 män per år av bröstcancer jämfört med cirka 8000 kvinnor per år. Bröstcancer hos män och kvinnor är på många sätt lika. Till exempel är sjukdomstecknen desamma och visar sig oftast som en knöl eller knCancer is today a major healthcare problem worldwide. There are many forms of cancer, which is a genetic disease, believed to result from a multistep process with genetic and epigenetic changes accumulating over time. Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in women, while it is much more rare in men. Male breast cancer (MBC) exhibits both similarities and differences with female b
Several articles within the area of green chemistry often promote new techniques or products as 'green' or 'more environmentally benign' than their conventional counterpart although these articles often do not quantitatively assess the environmental performance. In order to do this, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a valuable methodology. However, on the planning stage, a full-scale LCA is considere
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been shown to activate the peripheral innate immune system and systemic inflammatory response, possibly through the central release of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Our main purpose was to gain an initial understanding of the peripheral mitochondrial response following TBI, and how this response could be utilized to determine cerebral mitochondrial
