Popular Abstract in Swedish Påverkan av faktor V Leiden-mutationen på risk för utveckling av neovaskulära komplikationer efter centralvenstrombos studerades. Hos patienter med mutationen var risken nästan tre gånger högre att utveckla neovaskulära komplikationer än hos patienter utan mutationen. Synnervssvullnad , som nyligen har presenterats som en indikator på god prognos vid centralvenstrombosThe influence of the factor V Leiden mutation on the development of neovascular complications in central retinal vein occlusion was studied. The presence of the mutation was found to enhance the risk of developing neovascular complications almost threefold compared to in patients without the mutation. Optic nerve head swelling, which recently has been presented as an indicator of good prognosis i

"I believe that all people need to move about. Actually, some have difficulties in doing so. They stay in their home neighbourhoods, where they’ve grown up and feel safe. I can understand that, but my wife and I, we didn’t want that. We are more open to new ideas".This anthology is about seniors on the move. In seven chapters, Nordic researchers from various disciplines, by means of ethnographic m

In this paper, we consider positioning with observed-time-difference-of-arrival (OTDOA) for a device deployed in long-term-evolution (LTE) based narrow-band Internet-of-things (NB-IoT) systems. We propose an iterative expectation- maximization based successive interference cancellation (EM-SIC) algorithm to jointly consider estimations of residual frequency- offset (FO), fading-channel taps and ti

Abstract Objective. Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells produce IL-6 upon stimulation with inflammation promoters, but the signaling pathways involved have not been characterized. This study investigates underlying mechanisms behind regulation of PDL cell IL-6 production by E. coli and P. gingivalis LPS. Materials and methods: Human PDL cells, endothelial cells and monocytes were stimulated with E. c

Mechanical break-up in ice-ice collisions observed in the laboratory can lead to explosive ice multiplication. The possibility is examined in detail by constructing an idealized analytical single-point (zero-dimension) model assuming spatial homogeneity within a cloud. The rate of generation of primary ice is fixed at a constant value over time, corresponding to a situation in which the relative h

In order to obtain better performance, gas turbines always operate with high inlet temperature. This contributes to a high level of thermal load on the first stage vane endwall. To ensure safe operation of a gas turbine within a proper temperature range, the cooling performance of the vane endwall must be further investigated. In the present study, effects of the mainstream turbulence and upstream

BACKGROUND: Since the "War on Cancer" was declared in 1971, the United States alone has expended some $300 billion on research, with a heavy focus on the role of genomics in anticancer therapy. Voluminous data have been collected and analyzed. However, in hindsight, any achievements made have not been realized in clinical practice in terms of overall survival or quality of life extended. This migh

BACKGROUND: Established anatomical classifications of infrapopliteal arterial lesion severity are based on assessment of only one target artery, not including all infrapopliteal arteries although multivessel revascularization is common.PURPOSE: To investigate the reproducibility of one of these classifications and a new aggregated score.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 68 patients undergoing endov

Summary: Polymethylmethacrylate, as a widely used material for vertebroplasty, has several drawbacks such as heat development and high allergenic potential. In order to avoid these drawbacks ceramic cement materials have been developed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new biointegrative material for vertebroplasty in osteoporotic vertebral fractures regarding pain relief, safety aspect

Denna uppsats undersöker vilka möjligheter en privat organisation har att använda sig av personuppgifter utan samtycke på grund av ett så kallat ”berättigat intresse” enligt personuppgiftslagen (1998:204) samt lagen om elektronisk kommunikation (2003:389). Ett berättigat intresse föreligger när behandling av en uppgift är nödvändig för ett ändamål hos den personuppgiftsansvarige eller en tredje paThis thesis examines the possibilities of a private entity to use personal data without consent, based on a so called "legitimate interest" in accordance with the personal information act (1998:204) and the electronic communications act (2003:389). A legitimate interest is in effect when processing of a piece of personal information is necessary for the liable party or a third party with

Background: Dairy proteins, in particular the whey fraction, exert insulinogenic properties and facilitate glycemic regulation through a mechanism involving elevation of certain plasma amino acids, and stimulation of incretins. Human milk is rich in whey protein and has not been investigated in this respect. Method: Nine healthy volunteers were served test meals consisting of human milk, bovine mi

BACKGROUND: Frequent hyperglycemic episodes are increasingly being associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE: We studied the extent to which acute glycemia and glycemia after subsequent meals can be modulated by the characteristics of cereal foods, such as glycemic index (GI) and content of indigestible carbohydrates. DESIGN: Twelve healthy subjects

Maria Nyman The Borders of travelling. Russia in Swedish travel accounts during the 18th century. The primary objective of this study concerns how culturally created images of the Same and the Other, is expressed in descriptions of a journey, a sojourn someplace else. More specifically, the dissertation investigates how a number of Swedes, travelling during the eighteenth- and early nineteenth cen

Background: There is a need to develop methods of determining concentration and purity for two new affinity ligands, protein T and protein H, in order to ensure the quality of an industrial production of said proteins. Aims: To develop a High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography, HPSEC, method to determine concentration and purity of protein T and to improve an existing HPSEC method for

Background The COVID 19 pandemic has subjected a lot of countries to economic and social turmoil. This has contributed to socio economic as well as psychological challenges undermining the economies of many countries. Immunization is the key in this crucial phase of pandemic that can save a lot of precious lives. But imminent challenges in immunization supply chain of world countries to the native

Research show that human trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries today, after narcotics and illegal arms trade (The Polaris Project 2014). The most common victims of human trafficking are stated to be women and children (UNODC 2012). According to the UNICEF (2007), 1,2 million children are estimated to be exposed to trafficking for various exploitative purposes every year aro

Background The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is involved in several diseases and patho- physiological states, such as Alzheimer’s disease and hydrocephalus. Previous studies CSF dynamics in the brain show that the flow of the CSF depends on cardiac pulsation, time of day and respiration. Methods In this thesis, the validity of using real time phase contrast MRI in order to study CSF flow is evaluated

Utländska offentliga pensionsinstitut som får utdelningar från svenska företag beskattas i Sverige med kupongskatt på upp till 30 procent av utdelningens bruttobelopp. De inhemska motsvarigheterna, AP-fonderna, är statliga myndigheter och omfattas av statens skattebefrielse enligt inkomstskattelagen. Denna skillnad i beskattning av utdelningar har gett upphov till ett fördragsbrottsärende mot SverForeign public pension funds receiving dividends from Swedish companies are in Sweden subject to withholding tax of up to 30 percent of the gross amount of the dividends. The domestic equivalents, the Swedish governmental pension funds, the AP-funds, are exempt from income tax as they are a part of the Swedish state. This difference in taxation has given rise to infringement proceedings against Sw

As the need of environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels is growing bigger, so is the need for knowledge and research around possible new raw materials that could serve that pur-pose. One discussed product is biogas. Since biogas can be produced from not only food waste and wastewater residue, but from any substrate that contains fats, proteins and/or car-bohydrates, with the help of d
