AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate early changes in uptake of 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) in vivo and in vitro in a squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) cell line originating from a human head and neck SCC during cytotoxic therapy with respect to metabolism in tumor cells and in surrounding stromal tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 60 nude mice with xenografted SCC, 50 animals were

Song is a sexually selected trait in many bird species and has been suggested to function as a signal of a male's health and parasite resistance. Here we present an experimental field study on the long-term effects of parasite exposure early in life on adult bird song. We exposed nestling great tits (Parus major) to ectoparasitic hen fleas (Ceratophyllus gallinae) and on their recruitment into the

Broadband circuit models for electric machines are effective means to understand, predict, and control the phenomenon of conducted Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from immunity/susceptibility perspective. These models should cover the capacitive and inductive coupling behavior of the component along the frequency band of interest. The circuit models when used under generic SPICE simulation soft

Objective. The incidence of prostate cancer in Sweden is increasing rapidly, as is treatment with curative intent. Radical prostatectomy (RP) is currently commonly performed, either within or outside large high-volume centres. The aim of this study was to assess the 30-day mortality rate after RP in Sweden. Material and methods. In this nationwide population-based study, all men diagnosed with loc

Early vision is the process occurring before any semantic interpretation of an image takes place. Motion estimation, object segmentation and detection are all parts of early vision, but recognition is not. Many of these tasks are formulated as optimization problems and one of the key factors for the success of recent methods is that they seek to compute globally optimal solutions. This thesis is c

Abstract Authors: Ausra Andersson and Sara Woldu Title: Will I get an employment or not? – People with a criminal background reflect on their chances on getting an employment Supervisor: Frans Oddner The purpose of this study was to explore how people with a criminal background reflect on their past experience and views on the possibility of taking part in the labour market. The theories used to e

In this project, an Energy model from Thomson Reuters HBV-TR similar as the HBV model from Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) is used in Yangtze River Basin for energy inflow simulation. Yangtze River is the biggest river in China and the area of whole river basin is about 1.8 million square kilometers covering more than one fifth of whole China area. At the same time Yangtze

The following report is an evaluation of the fire safety for Tyrs Hov sports center in Tyringe with emphasis and focus on personal safety in and egress out of the building. The report was produced as part of studying the course Fire Safety Evaluation at the Department of Fire Safety Engineering and Systems Safety at Lund University. Tyrs Hov holds a variety of sporting activities scattered throug

This paper evaluates the Swedish school reform that was implemented in 1992, at upper secondary school level. The reform implies that independent schools are welcome to compete on the school market and are publicly funded. This reform has led to an increase in the share of students attending independent schools. Several estimations are performed in this paper on what impact this increase of compet

Denna uppsats är en kritisk granskning av snabblån och den reglering som finns på detta område. Snabblån är en förhållandevis ny företeelse i Sverige, de första företagen kom 2006. Efter detta följde en explosionsartad ökning av antalet företag, som erbjöd en liten kredit med mycket kort löptid. Till en början var detta område i princip helt oreglerat. Företagen stod inte under finansinspektionens

Ett datorprogram kan, i Sverige och alla andra EU-medlemsstater, erhålla upphovsrättsligt skydd om det är originellt i den bemärkelsen att det är upphovsmannens egen intellektuella skapelse. Möjligheten att erhålla skydd är av särskild vikt med tanke på att utveckling av datorprogram ofta innebär stora kostnader. Av datorprogramdirektivet framgår att det tillgängliga skyddet ska gälla ett datorproA computer program may, in Sweden and all other member states of the EU, obtain copyright protection if the work is original in the sense that it is the author’s own intellectual creation. The possibility of obtaining protection is of particular importance since software development often involves significant costs. The Software Directive states that protection applies to the expression in any for

This project investigates if access to a solar powered calculator improves numeracy and who benefits the most from the use of a calculator. A randomized field study was carried out in two different high schools in Palawan, a province in the Philippines. All participating students took two identical mathematics tests based on mental arithmetic, the first at the initial stage and the second seven we
