Osteoporosis is a bone disease that is defined as low bone mineral density (BMD) and results in an increased risk of bone fracture. It is a serious public health problem that causes excess mortality and major economical and social impact. Today there are more than 8.9 million fractures connected to low bone mineral density worldwide. Hip fractures are of particular concern since they are associate
Every year children are born with variations of sex characteristics that do not fit in the typical definitions for female or male bodies. Because of sex assignment procedures, intersex children are investigated, diagnosed and in many cases “treated” with surgical and hormonal interventions, sometimes irreversible and given without the individual’s consent. These procedures pinpoints the ambivalent
We recently identified a candidate tumor suppressor gene, HIN-1, that is silenced due to methylation in the majority of sporadic breast carcinomas and is localized to 5q33-qter, an area frequently lost in BRCA1 tumors and thought to harbor a BRCA1 modifier gene. To establish whether germ-line mutations in HIN-1 may influence breast cancer risk, we sequenced the HIN-1 coding region in 10 familial b
What is the thread that connects all the various actors and events that contributed to the rise of piracy in Somalia? The paper addresses the evolution of Somali piracy, focusing on its emergence, since it is that transformational aspect that provides the most richly insightful perspectives. Working from Thomas, Kiser, and Casebeer’s Warlords Rising: Confronting Violent Non-State Actors, an excell
The development of the European Union can be crucial for understanding possibilities for change in state sovereignty. Whether the European Union holds some characteristics that are otherwise incorporated in the notion of the state can be examined by looking at foreign policy, which is regarded as a central feature of sovereignty. The changing perceptions of European foreign policy by the European
Cultural heritage tourism is regarded as one avenue that can be used to stimulate the economic viability of an area; this is strongly believed by the tourism proponents in the parish of Manchester, Jamaica. With a lagging economy, and various studies done in the area, there has been no significant movement by policy makers towards implementing a sustainable tourism product, much to the ire of the
We investigated the effect of collimator selection on image quality in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) studies of the brain performed with 99Tc(m)-HMPAO. A triple-headed SPET system (GE/CGR Neurocam) was used, together with three sets of parallel-hole collimators - general-purpose (GP), high-resolution (HR) and ultra-high-resolution (UHR). Two image quality parameters were used to describe the
Stickiness between materials can be a challening task when dealing with the complex interactions and processes related to packaging engineering. Part of the problem is that many factors like temperature, pressure, surface treatment as well as surface roughness all could play a part in contributing to the stickiness between materials. In this thesis a literature study has been done to map out poten

Ur FN:s Barnkonvention följer principen om att det som anses vara barnets bästa måste vara avgörande vid alla beslut som rör barn. Konventionen blev svensk lag 1 januari 2020, men har varit en del av svensk rätt längre än så. Sverige ratificerade barnkonventionen år 1990 och sedan dess har principen successivt inkorporerats i svensk lagstiftning. Principen är bland annat en viktig del av skyddslagArticle 3 in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child says that what’s considered to be the best interests of the child must be decisive in all decisions concerning children. The Convention became Swedish law on 1 January 2020, but has been part of Swedish law for longer than that. Sweden ratified the Children's Convention in 1990 and since then, the principle has been gradually incorporat
Killer acquisition is a type of acquisition that allows the acquiring undertaking to curb market competition by preemptively removing a potentially competitive undertaking that would directly compete with the acquiring undertaking. Such an acquisition allows the acquiring undertaking to continue being the dominant provider, while consumers experience a decrease in consumer welfare. This type
