This paper is about how households with a lower income in the neighbourhood Söder in Helsingborg experience the urban renewal H+ in Söder, and how this relates to Helsingborg municipality’s intentions with the urban renewal H+. More specifically, the study focuses on Oceanhamnen which is one of four projects within H+. The questions at issue were examined by performing a document analysis and a su
This paper aims to answer the following research question: “To what degree do informal institutions influence the business strategy of developed multinational enterprises in China?” By using the comparison of existing literature and two primary interviews from strategic professionals, we were able to discover the most important factors for DMNEs to consider when entering China. The Uppsala Mode
The major uncertainty in predicting the influence of human activities on global climate change is the effect of aerosols. Two physical properties of aerosols largely controlling their influence on climate are the particle number size distribution and the interaction of the particles with the surrounding water vapor. The work presented in this thesis provides new information on the interaction bet
The aim of this study was to illuminate spouses' perceptions of living with a partner who had been diagnosed with rectal cancer followed by surgery resulting in a stoma. The focus group interview was chosen as method of data collection. Two focus group interviews consisting of 2 meetings each were conducted. A qualitative content analysis was used. Five themes emerged: difficulties of being involv
Background and aims: Radiotherapy is a valid treatment in cancer multimodal management but it is affected by severe systemic and local side effects. A murine small bowel model was used for the investigation of inflammatory features and apoptosis of local radiotherapy. Similarly the same model was used to analyze the combined effects of radiotherapy and antibiotics in the expression of matrilysin,
This study investigated the dosimetric impact of uncompensated motion and motion compensation with dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) tracking for prostate intensity modulated arc therapy. Two treatment approaches were investigated; a conventional approach with a uniform radiation dose to the target volume and an intraprostatic lesion (IPL) boosted approach with an increased dose to a subvolume o
Background: Despite being the gold standard of research to determine effectiveness, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) often struggle with participant recruitment, engagement and retention. These issues may be exacerbated when recruiting vulnerable populations, such as participants with mental health issues. We aimed to update understanding of the scope of these problems in trials of health techn
Background: Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) indicate an increased risk of stroke, one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. In order to prevent stroke, our knowledge of diagnosis, demographics, risk factors, investigations, and treatment of patients with TIA needs to be improved.Aims: The aims of this thesis were to validate data and diagnoses in the Riksstroke TIA module (Riks
A combination treatment (CT) of proinsulin and IL-10 orally delivered via genetically modified Lactococcus lactis bacteria combined with low-dose anti-CD3 (aCD3) therapy successfully restores glucose homeostasis in newly diagnosed non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. Tolerance is accompanied by the accumulation of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the pancreas. To test the potential of this therapy o
Thin films (less than 40 Å) of quaterthiophene (4T) were vapour deposited onto a Ag(111) surface under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and were investigated concerning their geometrical structure and photoluminescence (PL) properties by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and optical spectroscopy, respectively. Two different structural phases (α and β) were observed, which exhibit high structural order,
Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer on earth and has the potential to play an important role in the transition from an oil-based refinery to a biorefinery-based industry. The isolation of lignin from the biomass can be achieved by several different technical processes and isolated lignins are referred to as technical lignins in literature. During the last decades, the conversion of tec
Objective: An intervention to structure patient-key worker communication has been tested in a randomized controlled trial. The aim of this paper was to investigate effectiveness of the intervention in terms of moderators of effectiveness. Method: A total of 507 patients with schizophrenia were included. Moderators of effectiveness were investigated using two-way anovas. Results: Patients with a be
Abstract Background. Dosimetry in radionuclide therapy estimates delivered absorbed doses to tumours and ensures that absorbed dose levels to normal organs are below tolerance levels. One procedure is to determine time-activity curves in volumes-of-interests from which the absorbed dose is estimated using SPECT with appropriate corrections for attenuation, scatter and collimator response. From cor
In 2010, Spence and Van Gelder presented a family of CNF formulas based on combinatorial block designs. They showed empirically that this construction yielded small instances that were orders of magnitude harder for state-of-the-art SAT solvers than other benchmarks of comparable size, but left open the problem of proving theoretical lower bounds. We establish that these formulas are exponentially
PURPOSE: Early metabolic response with a decrease in glucose demand after cytotoxic treatment has been reported to precede tumor volume shrinkage. However, preclinical studies report of a very early rise in metabolism, a flare, following treatment. To elucidate these observations, we performed an experimental study on early metabolic response with sequential analysis of metabolic changes. METHODS:
