Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) genes encode proteins involved in mediating the toxic responses induced by several environmental pollutants. Here, we describe the identification of the first two AhR1 (alpha and beta) genes and two additional AhR2 (alpha and beta) genes in the tetraploid species Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) from a cosmid library screening. Cosmid clones containing genomic salmo
Background Family history is a strong risk factor for prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate whether increased diagnostic activity is related to the incidence of prostate cancer among brothers of men with prostate cancer. Methods Data were from the nationwide population-based Prostate Cancer Database Sweden (PCBaSe Sweden), which includes data from the National Prostate Cancer R
BACKGROUND: Mutations altering BLM function are associated with highly elevated cancer susceptibility (Bloom syndrome). Thus, genetic variants of BLM and proteins that form complexes with BLM, such as TOP3A and RMI1, might affect cancer risk as well. METHODS: In this study we have studied 26 tagged single nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) in RMI1, TOP3A, and BLM and their associations with cancer
The aim of this study was to describe the types and extent of eating difficulties, the need for assistance when eating, the nutritional status and pressure ulcers in consecutive patients (n = 162) admitted for stroke rehabilitation over a period of 1 year. Structured observations and assessments of eating, nutritional status (subjective global assessment of nutritional status), pressure ulcers and
OBJECTIVES: To study long-term patient-relevant outcomes after meniscectomy, a surgical procedure associated with a high risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Principal objectives were to compare traumatic with degenerative meniscal tear and partial with subtotal meniscectomy.METHODS: We studied a well-defined cohort of 205 patients who had undergone isolated unilateral meniscectomy between 1983 and 1
The Galactic Bulge has long been assumed to be a largely old stellar population. However, some recent studies based on observations with the HST WF/PC-1 and WFPC2 of stars in the Galactic Bulge have concluded that the old population may not make up more then 30% of the total. Other studies using HST/WFPC2 differential studies of `Bulge' globular clusters and field stars have found the bulge to be
Popular Abstract in Swedish Automatisk analys av programkod är ett kärnområde inom datavetenskap. Det mest typiska verktyget inom detta område är en kompilator som översätter källkod till maskinkod, men det finns många likartade verktyg, exempelvis översättning mellan språkdialekter, kontroll av kodkonventioner samt automatisk omstrukturering av kod. Eftersom dessa verktyg gör liknande analyser fiProcessing of programs is a core area in computer science. A compiler that translates source text to machine language is the most well-known kind of tool in this area, but there are numerous other kinds of related applications: source-to-source translators, refactoring tools, reengineering tools, metrics tools, consistency checkers, etc. These tools perform similar analyses and can therefore benef
BACKGROUND: Previous studies of associations between diet, obesity, and blood concentrations of alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene have been equivocal. Furthermore, most studies used only body mass index (BMI) as an obesity measure. OBJECTIVES: Our objectives were to examine the associations between energy and nutrient intakes, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, and serum cholesterol and serum conc
Airborne viral diseases have long been neglected but with the recent devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic serving as a catalyst for new science, additional viruses are examined. This thesis investigates the infectivity of Rhinovirus, the virus causing common cold, in differently sized bioaerosols. The experimental setup utilized a bio-aerosol nebulizing generator (BANG) to generate droplets
Andrahandsuthyrning har under en längre tid funnits på bostadsmarknaden och varit en vanligt förekommande form av uthyrning. Utöver den klassiska andrahandsuthyrningen finns en annan form av uthyrning på bostadsmarknaden, uthyrning i form av blockuthyrning. Blockuthyrning som uthyrningsform har funnits på bostadsmarknaden under en tid men är trots detta en förhållandevis okänd företeelse för gemenSubletting has existed in the housing market for a long time and is a common form of rental. In addition to the common form of subletting, another form of rental is the blockrental agreement. This form of rental, has been used in the housing market for a while but is still relatively unknown to the general public. A blockrental agreement is an agreement involving at least three apartments under
Automation with the use of robotics is a crucial trend across industries, enhancing efficiency and quality while improving health and safety conditions by minimizing human exposure to hazardous tasks. Alfa Laval, a global provider of products within heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling, is embracing this trend by exploring how to solve labor-intensive processes like the production of rubb
A long shelf life is of utmost importance when it comes to storage of food. Oats are expected to be easy to store like other cereals. However, oats that are stored for a long period of time are susceptible to becoming rancid, owing to its high lipid content. The lipids are mostly unsaturated fatty acids and prone to deterioration by native lipases which release fatty acids like oleic, linoleic and
County museums were for a long time one of the main actors in Swedish cultural resource management (CRM) archaeology. In the late 1990s, however, Swedish CRM archaeology faced a new system: a tender-alike procedure. The introduction of competition into CRM archaeology has produced a series of positive, as well as a series of negative, consequences. One effect is that several county museums have ce
When we talk about the future of work we do no longer talk about “the paper less office” like we used to but the “no fixed work place office”. In the year of 2013 26% of the Swedish population was occasionally working flexible, meaning at other locations then the actual workplace. And this number is expected to increase in the upcoming years. The research made in this project consisted of differe
Kränkande särbehandling är ett begrepp som innefattar bland annat vuxenmobbning, trakasserier och sexuella trakasserier. Kränkande särbehandling genom mobbning regleras i svensk rätt främst genom arbetsmiljörätten. Arbetsmiljön ska enligt arbetsmiljölagen vara tillfredsställande och arbetsgivaren ska vidta alla åtgärder som behövs för att förebygga att arbetstagare drabbas av ohälsa. Det finns äveVictimization is a concept that mainly contains adult bullying, harassment and sexual harassment. Victimization through bullying is regulated in Swedish law primarily through the work environment legislation, since it is considered to be an organizational issue. The work environment shall according to the Swedish Work Environment Act be satisfactory and the employer shall take all the precautions
I denna uppsats genomförs en kritisk granskning av kriminaliseringen av olaga förföljelse som infördes i brottsbalken år 2011. Granskningen görs främst i förhållande till den straffrättsliga preventionsteorin, men även gentemot de kriterier för kriminalisering som formulerat i doktrin och förarbeten. Straffrättssystemets syfte är främst att påverka medborgarna att avhålla sig från oönskade gärninIn this essay I conduct a critical review of the criminalisation of the crime ”illegal persecution” which was included in the Swedish penal code in 2011. The review is made first and foremost in the light of the criminal law theory of the criminal system as preemptive, bur also in the light of the criminalisation criteria which has been formulated both in the criminal doctrine, and in the legislat
The expansion of Swedish wind energy grid has come at the cost of environmental, economic and social controversy, in which the issue of landscape quality change plays a prominent role. Tourism, an industry highly reliant on visual consumption of the landscape, is especially sensitive to this change. Scholars have repeatedly harvested evidences of a weak, but negative correlation between wind power
Malnourishment, food insecurity, food swamps and obesity. These are only a few of the detrimental effects of the current food system, a product of industrialization and path dependence within unsustainable practices. As sustainability issues in general, the inherent complexity that the Los Angeles food system is characterized by requires collective action by stakeholders from across the public, pr
Background: Meniscus extrusion or hypertrophy may occur in knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, currently no data are available on the position and size of the meniscus in asymptomatic men and women with normal meniscus integrity. Methods: Three-dimensional coronal DESSwe MRIs were used to segment and quantitatively measure the size and position of the medial and lateral menisci, and their correlati
