Objectives The purpose of this study is investigate the effects of variants in the apolipoprotein(a) gene (LPA) on vascular diseases with different atherosclerotic and thrombotic components. Background It is unclear whether the LPA variants rs10455872 and rs3798220, which correlate with lipoprotein(a) levels and coronary artery disease (CAD), confer susceptibility predominantly via atherosclerosis
Study Design. A multicenter, randomized, controlled, cost-effectiveness analysis. Objective. To assess the cost-effectiveness of balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) compared with standard medical treatment (control) in patients with acute/subacute (<3 months) vertebral compression fracture (VCF) due to osteoporosis. Summary of Background Data. Patients with a VCF due to osteoporosis are common and will incr
The structure, formation, and evolution of the Milky Way bulge is a matter of debate. Important diagnostics for discriminating between models of bulge formation and evolution include alpha-abundance trends with metallicity, and spatial abundance and metallicity gradients. Due to the severe optical extinction in the inner Bulge region, only a few detailed investigations of this region have been per

Airborne viral diseases have long been neglected but with the recent devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic serving as a catalyst for new science, additional viruses are examined. This thesis investigates the infectivity of Rhinovirus, the virus causing common cold, in differently sized bioaerosols. The experimental setup utilized a bio-aerosol nebulizing generator (BANG) to generate droplets
Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur upprepade likar-tade välfärdsbedrägerier i form av bidragsbrott enligt bidragsbrottslagen (2007:612), särskilt när de bedöms vara systematiskt begångna, hanteras inom rättssystemet. Genom att undersöka hur fenomenet systematisk brottslighet kommer till uttryck och klargöra begreppet systematik och analysera dess till-lämpning inom straffräThe overall purpose of this essay is to investigate how repeated similar wel-fare frauds in the form of benefit crimes according to the Swedish Benefit Crimes Act (bidragsbrottslagen (2007:612)), especially when they are judged to have been systematically committed, are handled within the legal system. By investigating how the phenomenon of systematic crime is expressed, clari-fying the concept of
Multiple stressors affect the Baltic Sea, such as eutrophication, deoxygenated water and pollution. Almost all stres- sors are heightened or caused by anthropogenic impact. The stressors effect has increased since the beginning of the industrialisation and increased many of the stressors. The area of interest for this thesis is Bornholmsgattet, an area located between Sweden and the Island of Bor
Denna studie undersöker den rumsliga variationen i markens koldioxid-utflöde (CO2) i en boreal blandskog, huvudsakligen dominerad av tall (Pinus sylvestris L.) och gran (Picea abies L.) i ADVEX experimentsite i Norunda, centrala Sverige. Mätningar av markens CO2 gjordes i 72 collars omkring huvudtornet med hjälp av en LI-6250 infraröd gasanalysapparat kopplad till en hemmagjord mörkkammare. MedelvThis study investigates the spatial variation in soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux in a boreal mixed forest mainly dominated by Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) in the ADVEX expermental site in Norunda, in central Sweden. Soil CO2 efflux measurements were performed in 72 collars around the main tower by using a portable LI-6250 infrared gas analyzer connected to a
Bergmaterialindustrin i Sverige befinner sig just nu i en omstruktureringsfas då nya regler starkt begränsar möjligheten att använda sig av naturgrus för så väl bygg- och anläggningsändamål som för betongindustrin. Detta har även lett till att teknikutvecklingen stävar mot en övergång mot krossat berg, och inte sällan har det lett till bergmaterial med egenskaper som överträffar dem för naturgrus.The Swedish rock-mass industry is currently in a transition period because new rules and regulations strongly limit the possibility to use naturally sorted aggregates for construction and concrete purposes. Furthermore, research and development within the industry is more oriented towards crushed bedrock aggregates. Whilst the crystalline bedrock of Scandinavia mostly consists of Precambrian gneis
Polisman har enligt svensk rätt befogenhet att under olika omständigheter meddela tillsägelser och andra liknande direktiv till allmänheten. Den närmare innebörden av denna befogenhet – den så kallade befallningsrätten – beskrivs emellertid ofta som oklar och ämnet har aldrig varit föremål för en sammanhållen och genomgripande akademisk behandling. I föreliggande uppsats utforskas innehållet i ochAccording to Swedish law a police officer has the authority under certain circumstances to issue commands and similar directions to the public. The extent of this power – the so called command authority (befallningsrätten) – is however often described as ambiguous and the area has never been the subject of a cohesive and pervasive academic study. In the present essay the contents and boundaries of
The logistics concepts at BMW's engine factory in Munich are continuously revised, in order to optimise the logistics process. The objective of this thesis work is to study if it would be profitable to use an individual, reusable package for transporting and handling engine wiring harnesses in order to prevent damages. Approach The work was divided into different stages. First the flow of th
Distrilux International AB, a company within the Electrolux-group, works among other things with storing of products from other companies in the Electrolux-group. This rapport contains a cost analysis of the two Distrilux warehouses in Motala and Mariestad. The company offers five services in these warehouses, in-loading of products from a local factory and from external factories, storing, out-lo
SCA Packaging, as a provider of transport packaging, wants further knowledge of the logistics processes a corrugated board box undergoes. This thesis describes the development, the theory and the trial of a method for modelling logistic processes. The method is based on a break down of the packaging process, and analysis of the resulting components. The packaging process in its entirety is the ma
The aim of this paper is to expand the debate on undocumented migrants' social rights from a theoretical perspective emphasizing social and political practices of inclusion and exclusion. We examine how processes of exploitation and stigmatization contribute to a categorization and positioning of undocumented migrants as non-citizens. We explore this in a dialogue with three authorities workin
This essay should be seen as a contribution to the study of the islamic cultural heritage.

Motor complications in Parkinson's disease (PD) are associated with long-term oral levodopa treatment and linked to pulsatile dopaminergic stimulation. l-dopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) is delivered continuously by percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy tube (PEG-J), which reduces l-dopa-plasma-level fluctuations and can translate to reduced motor complications. We present final results of
Taking the exhibition "Art in the Streets", which was shown at The Geffen Contemporary at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles from 17 April to 8 August, 2011, as its main point of departure, the present article discusses street art's association with the institutions of the art world. "Art in the Streets" sparked a lot of debate before, while and after it took place. The article primarily
