The co-administration of the tetravalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, MenACWY-TT, with a licensed hepatitis A and B vaccine, HepA/B (Twinrix (R)), was compared to their separate administration in this open, randomised, controlled study. Healthy subjects 11-17 years of age (n = 611) were randomised (3:1:1) to receive both vaccines, MenACWY-TT alone or HepA/B alone. The co-administration of both

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess whether grating-based X-ray imaging may have a role in imaging of pulmonary nodules on radiographs. Materials and methods: A mouse lung containing multiple lung tumors was imaged using a small-animal scanner with a conventional X-ray source and a grating interferometer for phase-contrast imaging. We qualitatively compared the signal characteristics

The workplace is an ideal place to enhance employees’ wellbeing, and health promotion is being integrated into organisations by employers as a way to enhance performance quality. Employees are motivated in different ways to live healthy and active lifestyles. However, organisations vary in the ability to enable certain types of health programs, such as allowing employee to exercise during working

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a social problem that exists among all groups in society. But little attention have been paid to women’s violence against men. The focus of this thesis is to find out, through the eyes of the professionals, how the traditional concepts of gender affect the job with men who have been subject to IPV in heterosexual relationships. Through semi structured interviews,

Vid en skilsmässa är det ofta osäkert och oklart hur parterna ska göra med boende fram till dess bodelning sker. I många fall flyttar ena maken från den gemensamma bostaden och den andra bor kvar. Maken som flyttar har vanligtvis kostnader för det nya boendet samtidigt som denne måste fortsätta betala de löpande kostnaderna för det gamla, gemensamma boendet. Frågan som uppkommer är då om den kvarbAt a divorce there is often a level of uncertainty to how the parties are going to structure their living situation until the estate division. Most commonly, one spouse moves from the shared accommodation while the other one stays. The moving spouse usually has costs for the new accommodation and is also often required to pay for the old, common place. The upcoming question is if the staying spous

Virtual Reality (VR) har den senaste tiden blivit väldigt populärt och är en spännande teknologi med många outforskade användningsområden. Med ett VR-headset kan en användare till exempel träna på en speciell uppgift med både reducerad risk och till en mycket lägre kostnad jämfört med om det istället hade genomförts i den verkliga världen. Målet med det här examensarbetet var att undersöka om VR kVirtual Reality (VR) has recently become very popular and is an exciting technology with many unexplored applications. By wearing a VR-headset users could for example train on a certain exercise with reduced risk and at a much lesser cost than if it was performed in the real world. The objective of this thesis was to examine if VR can be used as an alternative method for training on how to use a f

Förekomsten av att skattskyldiga genomför arrangemang utan affärsmässigt syfte för att kringgå skattelagstiftningen och sänka sin beskattning, id est skatteflykt, motverkas i de flesta rättssystem med olika metoder. De flesta jurisdiktioner har implementerat inte endast specifika skatteflyktsregler (”SAARs”), utan även generella så kallade General Anti-Avoidance Rules (”GAARs”) för att motverka skThe occurrence of taxpayers implementing arrangements without commercial purpose to avoid tax laws and reduce their taxation, id est tax avoidance, is counteracted in most legal systems with different methods. Most jurisdictions have implemented not only Specific Anti-Avoidance Rules ("SAARs"), but also General Anti Avoidance Rules ("GAARs") to counteract tax avoidance. The top

The growth of a planetary core by pebble accretion stops at the so-called pebble isolation mass, when the core generates a pressure bump that traps drifting pebbles outside its orbit. The value of the pebble isolation mass is crucial in determining the final planet mass. If the isolation mass is very low, gas accretion is protracted and the planet remains at a few Earth masses with a mainly solid

The Swedish legislation (Socialtjänstlagen, SoL 5 kap 1§ 6 st.) state that the social welfare committee is particularly responsible for those children whom are in need of support and help after an adoption or custody matter has been decided. "Adoption - but at what price?" SOU 2003:49 is a state report with the purpose to investigate different aspects around international adoptions, whic

Title Incentives in a Common Agency: An Experiment Author Roy Forsberg Seminar date 2007-01-31 Tutors Dr. Fredrik Andersson and PhD Tommy Andersson Course Master Thesis in Economics – 10 Swedish credits (15 ECTS) Purpose Analyze the make-or-buy decision from a microeconomic perspective by combining modern common agency theory with the theory of incentives and game theory. From this I hope to conve

The subject for this Master's thesis is the mission of the public library concerning target group everybody. Control documents, traditions, norms and trends influence how this is interpreted and how the library's service is being formed. The often very abstract terms used to describe the public library's mission makes it open for different interpretations. We are of the opinion that th

Scientific abstract: As the increasing attentions drawn to the environment and climate change issue, the profound impact on the earth system made known to nearly every corner of the world. A great variety of global protocols and conventions has been established aiming to reduce global environmental risks and maintain a healthy earth system. In order to monitor, supervise these protocols and conven

Divergent selection and local adaptation are responsible for many phenotypic differences between populations, potentially leading to speciation through the evolution of reproductive barriers. Here we evaluated the morphometric divergence among west European populations of Reed Bunting in order to determine the extent of local adaptation relative to two important selection pressures often associate

In the early postwar period, improvements in life expectancy in many Western countries made health authorities, health scientists and politicians believe that social differences in mortality converged. The assumption was that inequality, when measured as death rates, was on steady decline, possibly even on the brink of disappearing. The question is then, how far back in time can social differences

1. Geolocation by light allows for tracking animal movements, based on measurements of light intensity over time by a data-logging device (geolocator). Recent developments of ultra-light devices (<2 g) broadened the range of target species and boosted the number of studies using geolocators. However, an inherent problem of geolocators is that any factor or process that changes the natural light in
