The MLL gene in chromosome band 11q23 is frequently rearranged in acute lymphoblastic and acute myeloid leukemias. To date, more than 50 different chromosomal regions are known to participate in translocations involving 11q23, many of which affect MLL. The pathogenetically important outcome of these rearrangements is most likely the creation of a fusion gene consisting of the 5' part of the MLL ge
Intestinal spirochetes (Brachyspira spp.) are causative agents of intestinal disorders in animals and humans. Phylogenetic analysis of cloned 16S rRNA genes from biopsies of the intestinal mucosa of the colon from two Swedish 60-years old adults without clinical symptoms revealed the presence of intestinal spirochetes. Seventeen clones from two individuals and 11 reference strains were analyzed an
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen är ett bidrag till utvecklingen av en metodik som gör det möjligt att med hjälp av fossila pollen d.v.s. pollen som lagrats i mossar och sjöar, rekonstruera historiska och förhistoriska landskap så precist som möjligt vad gäller utbredning av skog, olika typer av öppen mark samt vegetationens sammansättning. Den tolknings metodik som för närvarande Fossil pollen records retrieved from peat and lake sediments have great potential for quantifying past plant cover. This thesis is a contribution to the development of a palynological interpretation tool for reconstructing past cultural landscapes in terms of plant abundance and distribution. The aims of this thesis are (1) to explore pollen-vegetation relationships in the ancient, traditional cul
This paper has examined the potential power of media in relation to ‘security’ for the Jews in the Swedish society. My intention was to find out whether media constitute a risk for the increasing notion of anti-Semitism which also enhances the threat for the Jews in Sweden to become a security matter and therefore result in a need for securitization. The analysis has been done partly through prese
Detta examensarbete utvärderar ett absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användningen av krävande ballast vid betongtillverkning. Den huvudsakliga anledningen till att ballasten benämns som krävande är att den har ovanligt hög absorptionsförmåga. Studien undersöker hur betongens egenskaper påverkas av olika halter absorptionshämmare. Dels studerades glimmerrikt bergkrossmaterial, soThis master thesis evaluates an absorption-inhibiting admixture to enable the use of demanding aggregate materials in concrete production. This was achieved by investigating how the properties of concrete were affected by different levels of absorption inhibitor. Firstly, mica-rich aggre-gate material was studied, which, due to its high mica mineral content, has a high water absorption rate that i
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka psykometriska egenskaper för Compassion fatigue inventory (CFI), som ett instrument för att mäta compassion fatigue hos lärare. Vi undersökte även om nivån av compassion fatigue kunde predicera lärares benägenhet att agera i en mobbningssituation. En konfirmatorisk faktoranalys utfördes och vi fann att den gav otillräckligt stöd för den tre-faktorstruktur The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Compassion Fatigue Inventory (CFI) as a tool for measuring compassion fatigue among teachers. We also examined whether the level of compassion fatigue could predict teachers' propensity to act in a bullying situation. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and we found that it provided insufficient support f
Building on previous work on the agenda-shaping powers of the Council Presidency, this heuristic case study identifies and explores a set of important factors that influence the Presidency´s ability to shape the EU-political agenda. The primary material consists of a set of interviews with Portuguese and Commission officials, treating the Portuguese Presidency in 2007. Four main findings are discu
This is a qualitative study implemented through semi structured interviews involving seven young adults born in Sweden with parents born in other countries. The aim of this study is to examine how people born in Sweden with parents born in non-Nordic countries experienced their elementary school and if their foreign background affected their schooling and their current lives in some way. The concl
Problembeskrivning: Bearbetade grönsaker kan vara problematiskt då grönsakens förmåga att hålla vatten och näringsämnen förändras med tiden. Det naturliga skyddet mot angrepp från mikroorganismer skadas även det. När man skär eller skadar grönsaker på något sätt så öppnas fler ytor upp för mikroorganismer att ta sig in på och hitta näring för att föröka sig. Men det är inte den enda nackdelen med
Due to human-induced environmental changes, many natural populations are undergoing extensive fitness declines. Natural or sexual selection could potentially shift the phenotypic mean of critical traits towards new phenotypic optima, promoting evolutionary rescue. However, this process has rarely been studied in natural populations. Furthermore, the population fitness can also be increased by gene
Denna studie undersökte ungdomars erfarenheter av viktmobbning i en svensk skolkontext, samt hur ungdomar upplever skolans strategier för att hantera viktmobbning och vilka insatser de önskar att skolan hade vidtagit. Eftersom tidigare forskning som fokuserar på själva upplevelsen av viktmobbning är begränsad, gjordes en explorativ kvalitativ studie där en kritisk realistisk position intogs för atThe aim of this study was to investigate adolescents’ experiences of weight- related bullying in a Swedish school context, how they experience the schools’ strategies for weight-related bullying and which actions they wished the schools had taken. Since previous research on the subject is limited, an explorative qualitative study was conducted in which a critical realist position was adopted. The
I Sverige har alla rätt till skydd av personuppgifter, rätt att ta del av allmänna handlingar och yttrandefrihet. Rättigheterna skyddas av såväl våra nationella grundlagar som av EU:s primärrätt och EKMR. Det är dock inte ovanligt att det uppstår situationer där dessa rättigheter ställs emot varandra. Exempel på sådana situationer är när en enskild begär att dennes personuppgifter tas bort från enEveryone in Sweden has the right to protection of personal data, the right to access public documents, and freedom of expression. These rights are protected by our national constitution, EU primary law, and the European Convention on Human Rights. However, it is not uncommon for situations to arise where these rights conflict each other. Such an example is when an individual requests that their pe
Adults with a history of substance abuse constitute a marginalized group whose experiences of contact with social services are rarely highlighted in research. This study aimed to explore how clients with prior substance abuse problems experience the treatment they received within the social services’ unit for financial assistance and housing, and how such treatment influences their openness to rec
Mat är väsentligt för människan och är även en stor del av hennes kultur. Då mat är en så stor del av människans vardag så är det inte konstigt att det även förekommer i det innehåll hon publicerar på sociala medier som Instagram. Vi har myntat begreppet slampig matlagning som innefattar det matinnehåll på internet som likt food porn enbart ska konsumeras med ögonen. Till skillnad från food porn,
Efter mål C-484/19, Lexel, uppdagades en diskussion om hur Sverige kunde formulera riktade ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler som är förenliga med etableringsfriheten. Det resulterade i ett förslag som publicerades den 31 maj 2024: SOU 2024:37. Förslaget innefattar en ny bestämmelse där företag får göra avdrag för räntekostnader för ett gränsöverskridande, koncerninternt skuldförhållande om parterna hFollowing case C-484/19, Lexel, a discussion emerged on how Sweden could formulate targeted interest deduction limitation rules compatible with the freedom of establishment. This resulted in a report published on 31 May 2024: SOU 2024:37. The report proposes a new provision whereby cross-border, intra-group debt situations may deduct interest expenses if they would have been entitled to intra-grou
This study aimed to examine how Swedish courts consider children’s opinions in custody cases relative to their age and maturity, following Sweden’s 2020 implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Specifically referring to UNCRC articles 3 and 12. The results of this study are based on a qualitative text analysis of court custody cases, in which we’ve aimed
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being widely employed globally to enhance marine safety services and address challenges within the maritime sector. Nevertheless, the provision of these services in East Africa, particularly within the Lake Victoria basin, is deficient and inadequate. Consequently, a study needs to be undertaken to pinpoint certain domains in marine safety that may be
