Information about genetic variation has been collected for some 20 years into registries, known as locus specific databases (LSDBs), which nowadays often contain information in addition to the actual genetic variation. Several issues have to be taken into account when considering establishing and maintaining LSDBs and these have been discussed previously in a number of articles describing guidelin
Talk in safety-critical activities displays features that distinguish it from both ordinary conversations as well as from other institutional talk, but it also shares some features with these. Formality and informality are both interactionally accomplished phenomena, although shaped through different sources. Safety rules and pre-printed forms constitute two sources of formalization, dictating how
The recent development of rapid single sand-sized grain analyses in luminescence dating has necessitated the accurate interpretation of D-e distributions to recover a representative D-e acquired since the last bleaching event. Beta heterogeneity may adversely affect the variance and symmetry of D-e distributions and it is important to characterise this effect, both to ensure that dose distribution
Shorter product life cycles (Ottosson, 2004) and more diversified offers of products (Olsmats, 2002) are market trends in the present day. Companies have to deal with customers with rapidly changing demands, who are looking for high-quality products at low costs. The ability to rapidly respond to such demands can be referred to as a company’s agile manufacturing abilities. Nagel and Dove (1991) su
The aim of the present study was to extend the creatinine-based Lund-Malmö GFR equation for use with rescaled cystatin C (r-LMRCys) and validate it against measured GFR (mGFR) in the EKFC cystatin C cohort of children (n = 2,293) and adults (n = 7,727). Rescaling was obtained by dividing each biomarker by a Q-value, representing the population-specific median biomarker level among healthy individu

This is a project in product development made for ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems which is a manufacturer of sliding doors among other products. The objective of this project is to come up with a solution which offers an improved air sealing capability for a set of sliding doors all while the friction remains either the same or lower compared to before. The development process began with collecting in
This study explores the receivers’ experience and interaction with nation branding and how this affects their image formation since most of the research within the field analyzes nation branding from the sender’s point of view. A qualitative case study has been executed with an interpretative approach from a sensemaking perspective on the nation branding campaign “The Swedish Number”. The Swedish
This paper reports on a case study, which investigated energy management and environmental management at a large-scale research facility. The author used the perspective of the managed personnel rather than the management, the entity or the management system. The focus of the research was on interpretation of work, particularly how employees' perceptions of priorities were affected by management i
Abstract in UndeterminedLimb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A is an autosomal recessive disorder generated by inactivating mutations in the gene coding for the muscle specific protease calpain-3. It is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle as a monomeric multidomain protein characterized by three unique insertion sequences (NS, IS1, IS2). It is unstable, and undergoes very rapid autolysis in soluti
Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world with a high poverty rate. It is a man's country and the women are highly disadvantaged in all areas. It is concluded that gender discrimination has a negative impact on women’s reproductive and mental health. In Bangladesh the work of non governmental organisations has improved women's access to social organisations and networks
This essay studies the non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) employed by governments and other authorities in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden throughout the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The NPIs are accounted for and coded using a policy instrument framework by Evert Vedung. Moreover, are the NPI selections of the countries’ politicians and authorities explained through explorative
The aim of this study is to see how big the estimated number of unrecorded cases in Sweden are when it comes to reporting sexual molestation and to see if the court sees the victim as an ideal victim. If so, it is in our interest to investigate if the ideal victim can be associated with the number of unrecorded cases. The cases from the court in Malmö has been coded, placed into charts and analyse
The purpose of the study was to develop a simple and rapid method for measuring the average settling velocity of particles in stormwater ponds. Water samples with suspended particles were collected from the bottom of a stormwater pond in Lund, Sweden. The absorbance in various samples was measured over 24 hours (at 600 nm wavelength) and then translated into total solids concentrations. A one-dime
To evaluate the shared genetic etiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary heart disease (CHD), we conducted a genome-wide, multi-ancestry study of genetic variation for both diseases in up to 265,678 subjects for T2D and 260,365 subjects for CHD. We identify 16 previously unreported loci for T2D and 1 locus for CHD, including a new T2D association at a missense variant in HLADRB5 (odds ratio (
Grammatical asymmetries in possessive constructions are overtly coded in about 18% of the world’s languages according to the World Atlas of Language Structures (Dryer & Haspelmath, 2013). What primarily motivates these grammatical asymmetries is controversial and has been at the crux of the “iconicity vs. frequency” debate (e.g. Croft, 2008; Haiman, 2008; Haspelmath, 2008). This paper contribu
Background: Optimal adjunctive therapy in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with primary PCI (PPCI) remains a matter of debate. Our aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin to unfractionated heparin (UFH), with or without glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPI) in a large real-world population, using data from the Swedish national registry, SWEDEHE
BACKGROUND: Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is characterized by tachypnea and signs of respiratory distress. Transient tachypnea typically appears within the first two hours of life in term and late preterm newborns. Supportive management might be sufficient. Non-invasive (i.e. without endotracheal intubation) respiratory support may, however, be administered to reduce respiratory distres
