This B.A-thesis has its focus on the Roman Iron Age in southern Scandinavia; i.e. Scania and the Danish isles. The main plot line is about the military and political structures during this time; how they worked together and what the archaeological evidence for this is. The material used consists of weapon burials, bog finds and historical sources. Since this material already have been examined and

In Europe, annual influenza vaccination is recommended to elderly. From 2011 to 2014 and in 2015-16, we conducted a multicentre test negative case control study in hospitals of 11 European countries to measure influenza vaccine effectiveness (IVE) against laboratory confirmed hospitalised influenza among people aged ≥65years. We pooled four seasons data to measure IVE by past exposures to influenz

Background: Supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) carries an excessive mortality and morbidity. Although surgical ICH treatment can be life-saving, the indications for surgery in larger cohorts of ICH patients are controversial and not well defined. We hypothesised that surgical indications vary substantially among neurosurgical centres in Sweden. Objective: In this nation-wide retrospect

OBJECTIVES: To identify risk factors of carcinoma of the extrahepatic biliary tract in men. METHODS: Newly diagnosed and histologically confirmed patients, 35-70 years old, were interviewed between 1995 and 1997 in Denmark, Sweden, France, Germany and Italy. Population controls were frequency-matched by age and region. Adjusted odds ratios and 95%-confidence intervals were estimated by logistic re

Theoretical approaches to learning in practice-based jazz improvisation contexts include situated learning and ecological perspectives. This article focuses on how interest-driven, self-sustaining jazz learning activities can be matched against the concepts of stolen knowledge (Brown & Duguid, 1996) and landscape of learning (Bjerstedt, 2014).

Introduction: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment for heart failure in selected patients. However, current guideline indications do not accurately predict individual prognosis with CRT, and up to 30% are nonresponders. Previous studies have shown that QRS area reduction following CRT is associated with improved survival. This study evaluates the incremental value of

Weight-related discussions during childhood may have long-lasting effects on children’s body image and well-being. However, little is known about how parents frame these discussions with children who have undergone treatment for obesity. Our study aimed to explore how parents perceive weight-related discussions, several years after their children started obesity treatment. This qualitative study i

Background: Comorbidity of bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder is common in adolescence. Obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms may be episodic and secondary to alterations in mood, and display specific features. Management of pediatric bipolar disorder-obsessive-compulsive disorder is challenging, as pharmacotherapy of obsessive-compulsive disorder may induce or exacerbate manic ep

Purpose: Presence of disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) in the bone marrow (BM) has been described as a surrogate of residual disease in patients with early breast cancer (EBC). PADDY (Pooled Analysis of DTC Detection in Early Breast Cancer) is a large international analysis of pooled data that aimed to assess the prognostic impact of DTCs in patients with EBC. Experimental design: Individual patien

In Part I, an electrification scheme was described and a simulation of an observed cold-based storm from the U.S. Great Plains was validated with electrical observations. Most charge in the storm was separated by rebounding collisions of secondary ice originating from prior graupel-snow collisions. In this Part II, sensitivity tests are performed with the control simulation (Part I) and influences

Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymerer och tensider är två mycket vanliga molekylslag som vi ofta stöter på i vårt vardagliga liv. Polymerer är extremt långa kedjor sammansatta av tusentals repeterande enheter. De förekommer både som hårda material (t ex plast) och i lösning (t ex målarfärg). Det finns syntetiska polymerer, såsom nylon och polyeten, och det finns biologiska polymerer, t ex cellulosA new approach to the study of aqueous mixtures of oppositely charged polymers and surfactants has been introduced. Pure polyion-surfactant ion complex salts have been synthesized and used as the point of departure. The elimination of the simple ions reduces the number of components in the mixtures, thus greatly simplifying the system. By mixing the complex salt with either the polyelectrolyte or

I detta examensarbete har sex olika mellangrödor (hampa, honungsört, oljerättika, sudangräs, luddvicker och vitsenap) undersökts för användning till biogas produktion som ett alternativ för framställning av biobränsle. Miljöfrågor, behovet av nya bränslen och ökningen av världens befolkning har lett till uppmärksamheten för förnybara bränslen det senaste årtiondet. Den Europeiska Unionen har sattThe eminent dilemma around the relationship between the increasing world population, the need of new fuel sources and environment issues has raised great awareness in the last decades. The European Parliament has set common goals such as the reduction of the greenhouse gases by 20 % by the year of 2020, followed by the requirement of at least 10 % of the fuel has to be biofuel.

Purpose - Food lost or wasted constitutes a substantial environmental, economic and social problem; today roughly one-third of edible parts of food that is produced for human consumption globally gets lost or wasted. Thus, a reduction of waste would contribute to a sustainable use of resources. It has been highlighted that packaging development has the potential to play an important role in this p

With the growing pool of deposited protein structures, the need for structural analysis tools grows. In study of amino acid substitutions the variety of analysis tools is high; nevertheless, there is a lack of programs serving specific purpose, such as identifying if an amino acid substitution would cause a clash in the structure or not, given just the structure of the original protein. In this stAnalysing structural damage caused by changes in proteins In an organism, even only one single change of an amino acid can sometimes lead to disease, if the protein is a part of an important biological function. Because of that, it is important to study those changes and be able to predict if an amino acid substitution would cause harm. There are various ways a substitution can be harmful to a pr

During the last few years, crowding effects on the physics of proteins has become an increasingly popular topic of research. This is is because most biological processes involving proteins naturally take place in a crowded environment, e.g. in the cellular environment where macromolecules may occupy 30% of the volume. One such biological process would be the formation of amyloid aggregates, which

Denna uppsats analyserar förhållandet mellan principen jura novit curia (domstolen känner rätten) och kontradiktionsprincipen i svensk civilprocessrätt. Jura novit curia innebär att domstolen är fri i sin rättstillämpning, oberoende av parternas argumentation, medan kontradiktionsprincipen garanterar parternas rätt att yttra sig över allt som kan påverka målets utgång. Principerna existerar parallThis essay analyzes the relationship between the principle of jura novit curia (“the court knows the law”) and the principle of contradiction in Swedish civil procedural law. The principle of jura novit curia grants the court the freedom to apply legal rules to a case, irrespective of the arguments presented by the parties, whereas the principle of contradiction ensures that the parties have the r

This study comprehensively evaluated the global warming potential of an office building in a newly built Scandinavian neighbourhood seeking to reach sustainability. The primary objective of the research was to support the city authorities of Helsingborg by providing valuable insights into actual carbon emissions at the building level and proposing measures to minimize these emissions to achieve cl
