This paper analyzes the impact of variables suggested by the trade-off theory and the pecking order theory, on publicly listed Swedish firms in a sample period of 8 years, ranging from 2003-2010. Also the relationship between leverage and weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is studied for the same set of firms and time periods. The model used is based on panel regression with fixed and random
This paper provides a general theoretical framework that captures the essential features ofa Swedish reform where private and public health care providers serve patients with certainfunctional impairments. Because providers receive a fixed hourly compensation for theirservices (identical across patient types) and only private providers can reject service requestsfrom patients, private providers av
Co-production between public administrators and citizens has attracted renewed interest in recent years. Co-production is predominantly perceived as something desirable and is claimed to improve service efficiency and outcome and user satisfaction, at the same time as addressing democratic ideals. Drawing from interviews with public administrators and patients in a Swedish healthcare context, this
This study was performed in order to investigate the immediate actions of the proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), on the permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) in rats and to test whether these actions are dependent upon the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In anaesthetized rats blood access
PURPOSE: To develop a psychometrically robust electronic patient reported outcome measure (ePROM) for refractive surgery. SETTING: Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom. DESIGN: Questionnaire development study. METHODS: Items were derived in 6 domains (spectacle dependence, visual quality, eye comfort, functional freedom, emotional wellbeing, and satisfaction with treatment) from existin
Introduction: Omega-3 fatty acid supplements are widely used as an alternative to eating oily fish. However the polyunsaturated oils they contain are highly susceptible to oxidation, which can lead to rancidity and possibly decreased quality of the supplement. Background: Despite the convenience of omega-3 supplementation, there is limited independent information on the oxidative quality of produ

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund och syfte med avhandlingen Glutenintolerans, celiaki är en av de vanligaste kroniska sjukdomarna bland barn och innebär att man inte tåler gluten, som är ett protein och finns i vete, råg och korn. Tunntarmen har en veckad slemhinna med fingerlika utskott , tarmludd och hela tarmen har en yta på 250 kvadratmeter, vilket är lika stort som en tennisplan. Den stBackground: The prevalence of celiac disease (CD) is estimated to be around 1%, but most CD cases are undiagnosed. Sweden experienced an epidemic of clinically detected celiac disease in children younger than 2 years of age, partly due to changes in infant feeding practices, were the amount of gluten and age at introduction was changed. However, it was not clear if the increase in clinically detec

BACKGROUND: The ankle region is frequently involved in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) but difficult to examine clinically due to its anatomical complexity. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of ultrasonography (US) of the ankle and midfoot (ankle region) in JIA. Doppler-US detected synovial hypertrophy, effusion and hyperemia and US was used for guidance of steroid injection and to
Barn och unga involveras i allt större utsträckning i grov brottslighet med koppling till kriminella nätverk. För att motverka att underåriga rekryteras till kriminalitet infördes straffbestämmelsen i 16 kap. 5 a § brottsbalken om involverande av en underårig i brottslighet. Bestämmelsen speglar det allmännas intresse av att förhindra att barn och unga dras in i kriminalitet och kriminaliserar hanThe involvement of children and young people in serious crime linked to criminal networks has increased significantly. To prevent minors from being recruited into criminal activity, Chapter 16, Section 5a of the Swedish Penal Code concerning the involvement of a minor in criminality was introduced. The provision reflects the public interest in preventing children and young people from being drawn
Purpose: To investigate long-term trends and changes in the pattern of use of lamotrigine (LTG). Methods: Retrospective survey of a large, routine therapeutic drug monitoring database. Results: Twelve thousand one hundred and seven samples from 4123 subjects were analysed from October 1999 to May 2007. Within this period, the mean daily dose rose from 183 to 253 mg, whereas the median dose remaine
Objectives To explore how mandatory reporting to the supervisory authority of suicides among recipients of healthcare services has influenced associated investigations conducted by the healthcare services, the lessons obtained and whether any suicide-prevention-related improvements in terms of patient safety had followed. Design and settings Retrospective study of reports from Swedish primary and
The collective impacts of farmers' land management decisions on above ground ecosystem services (ES) and their implications for agriculture are poorly understood. Managing habitat to provide ES is costly but at the same time it can support higher yields through, e.g., pollination or natural pest control. Due to the mobility of ES-providers (bees, natural enemies) farmers providing habitat might al
This reviewe of Land Use Land Cover Change (LULCC) studies in Uganda indicate agriculture, forest, grassland, and woodland as the major land use and land cover types. Central Uganda is the most studied region (15%), followed by western (14), eastern (10), and northern Uganda (3). District scale studies were (48%), catchment (19%), forest (17%), national (10%), and park (7%). Landsat 30 m and remot
ALS is characterized by the degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. In about 70% of patients with ALS the disease has an spinal onset, while about 30% of the patients have a bulbar onset. Cognitive dysfunction and behavioral changes are seen in about 50% of the patients, and 15% develop frontotemporal dementia. There is no single test that provides the ALS diagnosis. The diagnosis is base
Post-quantum cryptography for resisting possible attacks from malicious quantum adversaries has become one of the key topics in recent cryptographic research. Its ultimate goal is to search for efficient and secure primitives replacing the factoring- and discrete log-based schemes in service that will be broken in polynomial time by Shor’s algorithm. It is now an urgent task to complete this repla
Environmental loads from the building and its services must be minimised. The study aims to determine material quantities, manufacturing energy and how material choice affect manufacturing energy. An inventory of materials in domestic water, waste water, space heating and ventilation services are made and manufacturing energy are calculated based on LCA’s. Finally energy need for alternative mater
