Human complex-forming glycoprotein, heterogeneous in charge (protein HC) has previously been isolated from urine and immunochemically shown to be present in low and high molecular weight forms in blood plasma (Tejler, L., and Grubb, A. O. (1976) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 439, 82-94). In the present work, the major low and high molecular weight forms of the protein were isolated from plasma by immunos
The reliable detection of neutrons in a harsh gamma-ray environment is an important aspect of establishing non-destructive methods for the characterization of spent nuclear fuel. In this study, we present results from extended in-situ monitoring of detector systems consisting of commercially available components: EJ-426, a 6Li-enriched solid-state scintillator material sensitive to thermal neutron
Cervical cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. The availability of prophylactic vaccines for high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection represents an important advancement in the prevention of cervical cancer. In Jordan, the availability of the HPV vaccination is restricted to individuals who are willing to pay. The aim of the current study was to ev
The automobiles of today are getting more fuel efficient in order to meet future emission standards. It is also important to have more fuel efficient engines than the competitors. The consequence is that engine development is intensified and more ideas needs to be tested thoroughly. One of the ideas at Volvo cars is a tumble flap. The tumble flap is controlled to close a predefined part of the int
BACKGROUND: Direct-to-consumer telemedicine is an increasingly used modality to access primary care. Previous research on assessment using synchronous virtual visits showed mixed results regarding antibiotic prescription rates, and research on assessment using asynchronous chat-based eVisits is lacking.OBJECTIVE: The goal of the research was to investigate if eVisit management of sore throat, othe
Importance: Prenatal diagnosis of complex congenital heart defects reduces mortality and morbidity in affected infants. However, fetal echocardiography can be limited by poor acoustic windows, and there is a need for improved diagnostic methods.Objective: To assess the clinical utility of fetal cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in cases in which fetal echocardiography could not visualize a
Objective: To identify factors affecting the outcome after open surgical (OSR) and endovascular (ER) repair of popliteal artery aneurysm (PA) in comparable cohorts. Methods: A matched comparison in a national, population based cohort of 592 legs treated for PA (2008 – 2012), with long term follow up. Registry data from 899 PA patients treated in 2014 – 2018 were analysed for time trends. The 77 le
Objective: To investigate how genetics influence the risk of smoking-related systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) manifestations. Methods: Patients with SLE (ndiscovery cohort=776, nreplication cohort=836) were genotyped using the 200K Immunochip single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) Array (Illumina) and a custom array. Sixty SNPs with SLE association (p<5.0×10-8) were analysed. Signal transducer an
External sources such as traffic and construction work cause noise and vibration in nearby buildings, potentially annoying human residents. Today, almost every fifth European is harmfully affected by traffic noise and vibration. Wave barriers placed on or embedded within the soil between the source and the receiver can mitigate the transmission of ground vibration, and the airborne noise transmiss
Aims/hypothesis: The study aimed to investigate the effects of HLA class I genes on susceptibility to type 1 diabetes with different onset ages, in addition to the well-established effects of HLA class II genes. Methods: A total of 361 patients with type 1 diabetes (192 patients with onset <18 years and 169 patients with onset ≥18 years) and 500 healthy control participants from China were enrolle
Background: In randomized trials, Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine has been associated with reduced all-cause mortality. BCG-induced Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) reactions have also been associated with reduced all-cause mortality. We aimed to assess the association between TST responses and subsequent mortality in three birth cohorts and conducted a meta-analysis of existing studies. Methods:
Background and Purpose: Clinicians will increasingly encounter adult patients who were born preterm and will need to understand their long-term sequelae. Adult survivors of preterm birth have been reported to have increased risks of hypertension and other stroke risk factors. However, their stroke risks have seldom been examined and the findings are discrepant, possibly due to small sample sizes,
Background: Aseptic loosening is one of the major reasons for late revision in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The risk of aseptic loosening can be detected using radiostereometric analysis (RSA), whereby micromovements (migration) can be measured, and thus RSA is recommended in the phased introduction of orthopedic implants. Decrease in bone mineral density (BMD), as measured by dual-energy x ray
Europeiska unionen (EU) är en internationell organisation bestående av 28 medlemsstater. Ett av EU:s främsta mål är att främja fri rörlighet för EU-medborgare. När personer väljer att flytta över medlemsstaternas gränser kan olika situationer uppstå. Personer kan exempelvis gifta sig och skaffa barn med någon från en annan medlemsstat. Den materiella familjerätten inom EU är emellertid inte harmonThe European Union (EU) is an international organisation with 28 Member States. One of the main goals of the EU is to facilitate the freedom of movement for EU citizens. Furthermore, when people decide to move across the Member States different situations can occur, such as people getting married or people having children with someone from another Member State. The substantive family law within th
Tillgreppsbrottslighet och ordningsstörningar som sker i svensk detaljhandel är en mångårig problematik som det vidtagits åtskilliga åtgärder gentemot. Butiksägares egendomsrätt kränks till följd av tillgreppsbrottslighet inom detaljhandeln. Den 1 mars 2021 trädde lag (2021:34) om tillträdesförbud till butik (”tillträdesförbudslagen”) i kraft. Lagen innebär att tillträdesförbud förenat med straffaCrime and disorderly conduct, which are affecting Swedish retail trade, have been a problem in which several preventive measures have been taken. The store owners right to property is violated as a result of the problem with crime in the retail trade. On March 1, 2021, law (2021:34) about admissibility to stores (“tillträdesförbudslagen”) came into force. The law means that a restraining order com
Heterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi
osämjans värde - en studie av vad staden vill och en förhoppning om vad den skulle kunna vara I underrubriken tillskriver jag staden som enhet en förmåga att önska, att vara bärare av drift och begär. I och med det ges den en roll som subjekt i relation till sina invånare. I det här arbetet diskuterar jag vad stadens samlade funktion skapar för drivkrafter. Hur staden medvetet och omedvetet via sThe Virtues of Discord - A Study of What the City Wants and an Anticipation of What It Could Be The subtitle of this thesis which reads: “A Study of What the City Wants and an Anticipation of What It Could Be” bestows upon The City the ability to want, to possess needs and desires. Through this process The City attains agency in relation to its inhabitants. I examine the ideas and motivations of
Abstract The focus of this thesis is to study and model the capacity of the bank to trade on the bonds market under normal and stressed conditions. This capacity is related to the liquidity of bonds market (ie, the ability to trade) and bank’s trading desks capacity to trade. All banks have different models but all are subject to the validation of the bank in a first place and the EU Central Bank
Helsingborg är en segregerad stad med många fysiska och mentala barriärer. Staden har sedan 1800-talet varit en delad stad med borgare i de norra delarna av staden och arbetarna i de södra delarna av staden. Trädgårdsgatan skär en gräns genom centrum och delar staden i Norr och Söder. Det finns också tydliga barriärer mellan öst och väst, då spårområde och trafikerade vägar delar staden. Söder och
