AIM: A survival benefit has been observed for colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis treated by cytoreductive surgery with intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). However, this treatment modality is associated with a considerable morbidity and mortality and in a significant number of patients survival is not improved. We studied whether poor survivors c
Background: Cernitin™ pollen extracts (brand name Cernilton®) alleviates symptoms related to common lower uro-genital tract disorders in men. The underlying mechanisms are ill-defined but the inflammatory pathway could be one of them. In a previous in vitro study it was shown that Cernitin™ induce a regulatory effect on inflammatory parameters. Methods: In this study, male Sprague Dawley rats were
Syftet med uppsatsen är att granska framställningen av satslära i fem läroböcker som i dag används i grundskolans senare årskurser. Två av dessa är renodlade grammatikböcker medan tre är icke renodlade grammatikböcker. Min metod är undersökande/klassificerande, och jag jämför mitt resultat med två tidigare studier av grammatikavsnittet i läroböcker. Resultat visar att de renodlade grammatikböcke
Uppsatsen är en fallstudie över behovs-och deltidsanställdas kommunikationssituation på Ikea Svenska Försäljnings AB. Metoden är av både kvantitativ och kvalitativ karaktär. Utgångspunkten är en kvantitativ enkätundersökning som jag gjort av företagets interna kommunikationskanaler. Resultaten av den ligger till grund för den fördjupande, kvalitativa undersökning som jag utfört i form av intervjue
Structured laser illumination planar imaging (SLIPI) is combined with gas phase thermometry measurements using thermographic phosphor (TGP) particles. The technique is applied to a heated jet surrounded by a coflow which is operated at ambient temperature. The respective air flows are seeded with a powder of BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ (BAM) which is used as temperature-sensitive gas phase tracer. Upon pulse
Depicting developmental processes as movements in free energy genetic landscapes is an illustrative tool. However, exploring such landscapes to obtain quantitative or even qualitative predictions is hampered by the lack of free energy functions corresponding to the biochemical Michaelis– Menten or Hill rate equations for the dynamics. Being armed with energy landscapes defined by a network and its
A selection of searches by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC for the electroweak production of SUSY particles are used to study their impact on the constraints on dark matter candidates. The searches use 20 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at s=8 TeV. A likelihood-driven scan of a five-dimensional effective model focusing on the gaugino-higgsino and Higgs sector of the phenomenological minimal s
The aim of this thesis work was to investigate and evaluate new possible industrial applications for large welded plate heat exchangers, with heat transfer areas of at least 500 m2. The research has been carried out through thermal design of heat exchangers for a total of nine cases. The nine cases are real-life applications for processes covering the petrochemical, oil & gas, power, and refin
Högsta domstolen har i ett antal mål om avtalstolkning uttalat att ledning kan sökas i avtalets systematik och övriga villkor, något som kommit att kallas systematisk avtalstolkning. Enbart begreppet systematisk avtalstolkning avslöjar dock inte mycket om vad det egentligen är domstolen kan tillmäta betydelse vid tolkningen. I denna uppsats undersöks därför vad systematisk avtalstolkning är genom The Supreme Court of Sweden has stated in several rulings that the system and other terms of a contract may be considered in the interpretation of a contract clause. The principle has come to be called systemic interpretation. However, the word systemic does not reveal much about what the court may specifically consider when interpreting a contract. Therefore, this thesis examines a number of ruli
The purpose of this study was to get a deeper understanding of women who are exposed to domestic violence by their male partners. We have examined how battered women both draw from and reject victimdiscourses in their processes of self‐construction and how available “victim” discourses affected these women's views on their role and their choice not to seek assistance to get out of their situat
Uppsatsen undersöker möjligheten att registrera ordmärken och analyserar i synnerhet vilka ordmärken som kan registreras med endast ursprunglig särskiljningsförmåga och vilka ordmärken som kräver förvärvad särskiljningsförmåga för att få registreras. Uppsatsen klarlägger därutöver hur möjligheten att förvärva särskiljningsförmåga förhåller sig frihållningsbehovet. Av praxis framgår att suggestiva This thesis examines the possibility of registering trademarks and it in particular analyzes which trademarks can be registered with only original distinctive character and which trademarks require acquired distinctive character in order to be registered. In addition, the thesis examines how the possibility of acquiring distinctive character relates to the requirement of availability. It is eviden
Support groups for children and young people whose parents abuse drugs or alcohol are a relatively new phenomenon. A major purpose of these support groups is for the participating children to understand that they are not alone in their situation. In these support groups there are also social workers whose job is to guide the children and help them understand their situation through different theme
Adaptation of modern Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and multispectral sensor technology in agriculture can enhance the capacity to accurately monitor crops. But these technologies come with its own set of challenges. The major challenge is the understanding of radiometric distortions, which is particularly important while comparing data over different lighting conditions. The study developed and as
Bakgrund: Patienter på ortopediska vårdavdelningar är äldre, multisjuka och med hög mortalitet vilket kan leda till palliativa vårdbehov. Kortare vårdtider på sjukhus påverkar patienternas mortalitet och komplikationer efter vårdtiden. Det finns brister i palliativ vård inom akutsjukvården. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av övergången från kurativ vård till pallia
De europeiska förvaltningarna har i olika grad implementerat New Public Management-inspirerade reformer. Men varför länderna implementerat dessa reformer i olika grad och hur detta kan förklaras är mer oklart. Utifrån ett historisk institutionalistiskt perspektiv vänder denna uppsatsen blicken mot olika aspekter av de europeiska förvaltningarna för att förklara varför länderna implementerat NPM-re
This thesis research analyzed policies that promote resource mobilization for the development of the Solar Water Heaters and Photovoltaic industries in Mexico. The main inquiry is to identify the role that technological complexity plays in promoting resource mobilization for sustainable transition policies. It is assumed that if the technology is complex, resources are obtained from extra-regional
Nutrient recovered faecal sludge is a novel alternative fertilizer product, and is proposed to be promoted in places where improvement in sanitation management is needed, for example in Uganda’s capital Kampala. However, Uganda and most of Africa is perceived as a faecofobic area, i.e. where faeces are stigmatized and guarded by taboos, and there is lacking information regarding Ugandan farmers’ p
Research question: What conditions promote or hinder business model innovation for sustainability in the field of upcycling and how do these conditions interact? Methodology: This single-case study is characterized by applying a qualitative research approach and an inductive reasoning with a systematic and transparent approach. The research conducted semi-structured interviews as the main source
