Objective: We studied what patients with acute coronary heart disease (CHD) considered the three most stressful factors experienced during the month before testing and what they attributed their heart disease to. Methods: We studied the occurrence and severity of physiologic, psychologic, and psychosocial stressors in 117 patients with acute CHD and 117 referents, not diagnosed with CHD, matched b

The chronic active inflammation caused by Helicobacter pylori is dominated by neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells. Several interleukins are involved in the inflammatory process. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of astaxanthin on gastric inflammation in patients with functional dyspepsia. Forty-four consecutive patients were included, and biopsies were examined

We report on a quantum dots-in-a-well infrared photodetector (DWELL QDIP) grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The DWELL QDIP consisted of ten stacked InAs/In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs QD layers embedded between n-doped contact layers. The density of the QDs was about 9 x 1010 cm-2 per QD layer. The energy level structure of the DWELL was revealed by optical measurements of interband transitions, an

Acoustic fatigue can occur in structural elements of an aircraft exposed to very high sound pressures. To deal with acoustic fatigue, mainly empirical methods have been applied and often late in the design phase. Current design guidelines have several limitations. First, they do not say anything about the load intensities. The load levels can be determined either experimentally or numerically. Exp

Background: The spatial peaks QRS-T (SPQRS-T) angle differentiates hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients from controls. Increased angle confers arrhythmia risk in other populations. Hypothesis: We predict that the SPQRS-T angle will identify HCM patients with sustained ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and those with New York Heart Association class III/IV heart failure. Methods: Corrected QT int

I uppsatsen har gällande rätt avseende utomståenderegeln i 57 kap. 5 § IL fram-ställts och analyserats. Utomståenderegeln är en undantagsregel från de särskilda beskattningsreglerna i 3:12-regelverket. Bestämmelsen blir tillämplig om aktie-ägaren visar att utomstående i betydande omfattning äger del i företaget. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka om tillämpningen av bestämmelsen är ändamThis bachelor thesis deals with the outsider rule in 57:5 Swedish income tax law (IL). The outsider rule is an exemption clause, and if found applicable the general taxation rules will be applied instead of the special close company rules. The out-sider rule will be applicable if the shareholder shows that outsiders own a signifi-cant amount of the company's shares. The purpose of this thesis

Punata alluvialkon ligger i centrala Bolivia (Valle Alto) i ett område mellan Altiplanot och lågländerna. Det är en viktig grundvattenreservoar för den lokala landsortsbefolkningen och pga. utveckling samt befolkningsökning i området har efterfrågan på färskvatten ökat de senaste åren. Tillsammans med minskande årlig nederbörd, i ett redan halvtorrt (semi-arid) klimat, sjunker grundvattennivån staThe Punata alluvial fan, situated in central Bolivia (Valle Alto) between the Altiplano and the lowlands, is an important aquifer for the local rural population. Due to rapid development and population growth in the area, the demand for fresh water has increased in recent year. In combination with decreasing annual rainfall, in the already semi-arid climate, the groundwater level is steadily sinki

Environmental sustainability is becoming increasingly important – especially for businesses who accounts for 50% of all energy consumption in the world. This thesis examines how companies consider environmental issues and seeks to explain why they take this specific approach. Qualitative case studies of three Danish companies have been applied to outline the companies’ environmental focus and how

För var dag som går blir vårt samhälle allt mer beroende av teknik och snabb och lättillgänglig information. De flesta av oss söker dagligen efter någon sorts information på internet. Vi gör sökningar på allt som är av intresse för oss för stunden och allt fler inköp görs numera på nätet. Med denna nya, teknikberoende livsstil har det blivit allt viktigare för företag att marknadsföra sina varor oFor each day that passes our society becomes more and more dependent on technology and a fast and easy access to information. Most of us are using internet on a daily basis in search of information. We search for information regarding most things in our lives, from health, lifestyle and food to information regarding travel and work-related issues. With this new, technology-dependent lifestyle it h

Förekomsten av tekniska standarder är fundamental för den tekniska utvecklingen och medför flera konkurrensfördelar. Standardisering kan emellertid riskera att vara konkurrenshämmande i samband med patentinnehavares användning av de rättsmedel som står till deras förfogande. Så är fallet när patenterad teknik implementeras i standarder och får status som standardessentiella patent. I utbyte mot deThe presence of technical standards is fundamental to the technical development and entails several competitive advantages. Standardization may, however, risk being anticompetitive in relation to patent holders’ use of legal remedies available to them. This is the case when patented technology is implemented in standards and is given the status as standard essential patent. In exchange for the pos
