Interaction of mono- and disaccharides, polysaccharide particles and yeast cells with boronate-containing copolymers (BCC) of N-acryloyl-m-aminophenylboronic acid (NAAPBA) with NN-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) or N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) was studied. The binding of saccharides to BCC of NIPAM resulted in a shift of its phase transition temperature (Delta T-p), which provided a quantitative measur

Background: Problem gambling is a public health issue affecting both the gamblers, their families, their employers, and society as a whole. Recent law changes in Sweden oblige local and regional health authorities to invest more in prevention and treatment of problem gambling. The economic consequences of gambling, and thereby the potential economic consequences of policy changes in the area, are

Background: Despite a far from perfect correlation with middle ear growth, nasopharyngeal cultures are sometimes used in children with acute otitis media (AOM) in order to have some idea of the causative pathogen. How these cultures are used in clinical practice and to what extent they influence clinical management has not previously been studied. The objective with this study was to investigate i

Ett bolags ränteutgifter är skatterättsligt avdragsgilla kostnader. Detta innebär att ränteutgifter minskar det beskattningsbara resultatet och det blir således skattemässigt fördelaktigt för bolag att låna, så till den grad att större internationella koncerner ofta etablerar skuldförhållanden i syfte att minska sin skattebörda. Genom att upprätta ändamålsenliga bolagsstrukturer kan internationellA company's interest expenses are fully deductible under the Swedish tax law. This means that interest expenses reduce the taxable business income and will thus be fiscally beneficial for companies with loan financing, so much so that major international companies often establish liability conditions in order to reduce their tax burden. By establishing certain corporate structures internationa

Strålbehandling är en vanlig behandlingsteknik för behandling av cancer. Behandlingen kan levereras på två olika sätt: internt eller externt. Vid extern strålbehandling bestrålas tumören med en strålkälla som befinner sig utanför kroppen. Vid intern strålbehandling, även kallat brachybehandling, placeras strålkällan inuti kroppen, i eller i nära anslutning till tumören. Själva tumören får därmed mPurpose: The aim of this study was to investigate a new methodology for brachytherapy of oesophageal cancer using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for treatment planning. That includes finding a suitable oesophageal applicator that can be visualised on MR images and to create dose and fraction schedule that should be used brachytherapy treatments. Material and Methods: A total of six patients were

When evaluating future technologies for smart metering and automatic meter reading (AMR) E.ON Elnät Sverige AB has set up a pilot to test a communication technology supplied by Connode AB. Connode have developed a mesh radio solution based on 6LoWPAN, IPv6 over Low Powered Wireless Personal Area Network. By using this technology the communication unit on every meter is acting as both receiver and

Förhöjda temperaturer på höga breddgrader kan förändra koldynamiken i hela Arktis. Modellerade CO2 simuleringar visar att under nuvarande klimatförhållanden utgör Arktis en netto kolsänka, fast den stora utsträckningen samt fina geografiska heterogenitet lyfter upp osäkerhet kring dess status som CO2 sänka/källa i regionen. Förståelsen för arktiska koldioxidflödekan förbättras genom integrering avIncreased temperatures in high latitudes may alter the carbon dynamics throughout the Arctic. Modelled CO2 simulations show that current climate conditions constitute the Arctic a net carbon sink, though the large extent and fine landscape heterogeneity raise an uncertainty about the carbon sink/source status of the region. The understanding of Arctic CO2 fluxes can be improved through integration

The average woman uses 11,000 tampons during her lifetime. Both sanitary pads and tampons have been proven to contain low levels of dioxins, which are a group of highly toxic environmental pollutants known to cause cancer, reproductive damage and endocrine disruption. Some scientists have concluded that dioxin levels in tampons are insignificant to the overall dioxin exposure of menstruating women

This thesis examines how the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that India is currently negotiating with the European Union (IndEUFTA) may impede the production of Indian generic version of HIV/AIDS medicines and thereby hinder access to HIV/AIDS medicines. The reason for discussing specifically HIV medicines in the context of Indian generic manufacture is important in two ways. First, considering the dis

UNLABELLED: Children with congenital and acquired heart disease have an increased risk of thromboembolic events. There is a paucity of evidence on the optimal approach to thromboprophylaxis for this population, and the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants in recent years has led to significant variation in clinical practice. The aim of the study was to describe current practice in thrombopro

Post-sale restrictions in patent and trademark licensing agreements and their validity and compliance with competition law emphasize the problematic to what extent the intellectual property holder may enforce its IP rights. In today’s innovative markets, licensing is a one form of how the IP holder may exploit its IPR and obtain revenues. Post-sale restrictions are part of the scope of the license

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att klargöra och analysera mellanhänders ansvar vid tredje mans upphovsrättsintrång. För att uppfylla syftet har frågeställningen som besvarats i uppsatsen varit vilka förutsättningar som gäller för att ett vitesförbud ska kunna meddelas mot en mellanhand, vid tredje mans upphovsrättsintrång. För att sätta syftet i ett bredare perspektiv har en annan frågeställniThe purpose with this essay has been to clarify and analyze the responsibility of intermediaries whose services are used by a third party to infringe a copywright. The essay has investigated the conditions for an injuction to be issued against a intermediary, whose services are used by a third party to infringe a copywright. To put the purpose in a wider context the essay has also investigated whe

Congenital haemophilia A and B are genetic disorders affecting factor VIII and factor IX production, respectively. Factor replacement is the only effective treatment for these deficiencies, but a patient's immune system can develop inhibitory antibodies which bind and interfere with the function of the replaced factor in a variety of ways. The main treatment goal for patients with inhibitors is to

Objective. To study degree of blood pressure (BP) control in primary healthcare (PHC) treated hypertensive patients in relation to sex, age, drug treatment, and concomitant diseases. Design. Random sample of patients with hypertension. Setting. Ten PHC centres in the Region of Skane, Sweden. Subjects. All the 30- to 95-year-old patients with hypertension who during the period 12 September to 24 Se

Ultrasound optical tomography enables noninvasive characterization of tissue and lesions up to 5 cm below the skin surface, by enhancing diffuse optical tomography with ultrasound focusing resolution and an increased number of measurement points. For optimal clinical imaging, it is essential to be able to reconstruct tissue optical properties in real time during in vivo measurements, and therefore

Background: Somali women suffer from one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Somalia characterises a specific low-income country situation with a mix of newly urbanized and nomadic culture combined with a frail health care infrastructure set in a post-conflict era. Very little is known about the effects that these contextual factors can have on maternal mortality. Objectives: To

Enzymatic hydrolysis is an agro-processing aid that can be utilized in order to improve nutritional quality of protein extracts from many sources. In this study, protein extracts from ungerminated and/or germinated local Egyptian soybean and lupin flours were hydrolyzed using the enzyme papain. The hydrolysis processes were carried out for 2 h and aliquots were withdrawn at different time interval

Phosphodiesterase type 3B (PDE3B) has been shown to be activated and phosphorylated in response to insulin and hormones that increase cAMP. In order to study serine/threonine protein phosphatases involved in the regulation of rat adipocyte PDE3B, we investigated the phosphorylation and activation of PDE3B in vivo in response to phosphatase inhibitors and the dephosphorylation and deactivation of P
