Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for breast cancer improves relapse-free survival (BCRFS) and overall survival. Differences in terms of efficacy and toxicity could partly be explained by the significant interpatient variability in pharmacokinetics which cannot be captured by dosing according to body surface area. Consequently, tailored dosing was prospectively evaluated in the PANTHER trial

I det här kapitlet behandlas begreppet välfärd kopplat till tjänster och som det uppfattas av mottagarna av tjänsterna, ”kunderna”, men även hur välfärdens värde traditionellt aggregeras på samhällsnivå och de brister som finns i de mått som används. Syftet är att diskutera om de mått och uttryck för välfärd vi använder idag tillräckligt väl speglar det vi menar med ”välfärd”. Kan de mått som anvä
his study analyses which perspectives occur in science students’ texts at different points in time during the process of writing a popular science article. The intention is, thus, to explore how popular science writing can help students discover and discuss different perspectives on science matter. For this purpose, texts written by 12 bachelor students in biology were analysed in a case study. Fo
The author analyzes the differences between Chinese female entrepreneurs and their male counterparts and also looks at how these differences affect company performance. The author’s study shows that Chinese female entrepreneurs are more risk averse, have less horizontal social capital, are less innovative and make more major decisions by themselves, compared to their male counterparts. There is no
Yttrium-90 is a pure β-emitting radionuclide with a high energy (Emax = 2.28 MeV) and a short half-life (T½ = 64.1 h). It has shown to be a promising isotope to use in radio-immunotherapy. In the absence of direct photon emission scintillation camera imaging can be obtained by acquiring events from bremsstrahlung photons created at or near the decay site of the radionuclide. It is, however, not ev
The town of Blera is situated in the southern parts of Etruria and has a history spanning more than 2,500 years. Its location between the two important Etruscan cities of Tarquinii and Caere has meant that Blera, for the entire Etruscan period (c. 750–50 BC), alternatively has found itself in either city’s sphere of interest. When Rome begins her expansion into Etruria, following the fall of the s
Almost all species face some degree of predation risk, and, hence, evolution has produced a plethora of anti-predator defences. However, anti-predator strategies require resources, and the prevailing risk of becoming prey is influenced by many factors and rarely constant across time and space. Evolution has therefore favoured the development of phenotypic plasticity in anti-predator defences.

In the past century, Sweden has seen vast developments in narrowing the gender earnings gap between men and women. Nevertheless the gap still remains, and has revealed patterns of stagnation in the recent decade. In the presence of a gender earnings gap there is an unequal distribution of economic power between men and women, which may lead to an inefficient resource allocation. Today there is a l
Socialt arbete sker inte sällan i samhällets marginaler med människor som lever i en osäker, utsatt situation. Samhället hjälp och stöd distribueras allt som oftast av socialarbetare med stöd av lag, som inte alltid är given och entydig. Att djupare förstå relevant lagstiftning och andra rättskällor, samt deras individuella och samhälleliga effekter, är därför en viktig del i socialarbetares utbil
Introduction: Older adults spend more time at home after retirement, and the home becomes a central place for activity. While research indicates that indoor lighting, exposure to daylight, physical activity and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood and daily rhythm, strategies are needed to promote behavioural changes to optimise these factors in daily life. The objective is to design an i
