Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Personer som drabbats av cancer och autoimmuna sjukdomar ökar i vårt samhälle, vilket främst beror på förbättrade verktyg att identifiera sjukdomarna, en ökad medvetenhet, och på att vi lever allt längre. Att antalet diagnoser och även antalet överlevande ökar ställer höga krav på sjukvården samtidigt som kostnaderna ökar för samhälleAbstract The number of cancer and autoimmune disease diagnoses increases in our society, which place high demands on the health care system. Being able to tailor treatments for each individual patient is called "Personalized medicine", and could revolutionize the care in the future. This type of medicine requires biomarkers that could be used for diagnosis, prognosis and choice of therapy. In our

BackgroundGlobally, the COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on patients and healthcare systems. A decline in paediatric visits to healthcare settings was observed, which might have been due to lower incidence of injury and infectious illness, changes in healthcare services and parental concern. The aim of our study was to examine parental experiences of help-seeking for, and care of, a sick or inj

Dose conversion coefficients attempt to harmonize the material-, location-, and exposure-dependent results from retrospective dosemeters. The issues and uncertainties arising from dose conversion are explored within the framework of an interlaboratory comparison exercise in which mobile phones were positioned around anthropomorphic phantoms and exposed to non-uniform photon fields, with the glass

This paper describes a study examining four different GARCH models AR(1)-GARCH(1,1), AR(1)-EGARCH(1,1), AR(1)-APGARCH(1,1) and AR(1)-GJR-GARCH(1,1), and their ability to predict future volatility and thereby providing more reliable estimates for Value-at-Risk. The study is based on daily observations for the return of the OMX Stockholm 30 Index, during the time period 31st December 1996 to 29th De

I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 228 svenska fågelarter för olika långa tidsperioder. Vi visar också korttidstrender för 12 arter av större däggdjur. Fåglarna har räknats höst, vinter, vår och sommar enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan1996) meWe present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2020 include data from: 564 winter point counts in 2019/2020 (45th winter), of which 274 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 210 summer point count routes (46th year) an

The ability of chyle chylomicrons to bind prothrombin has been studied. Rat chyle chylomicrons were incubated with human 125I-prothrombin and binding was examined by separating the chylomicrons from free 125-I-prothrombin by density-gradient ultracentrifugation, and by gel filtration on Sepharose CL-2B. A significant binding of prothrombin to chyle chylomicrons occurred. The complex formation was

In order to provide a reliable evacuation design assessment, data showing the variation in pre-movement time is of vital importance. The pre-movement time is in many cases regarded as the main time period during an evacuation assessment. Therefore, forty unannounced evacuation experiments for six different occupancies were analysed to quantify pre-movement time during building evacuation, i.e., th

Purpose: Tru-cut biopsy is a minimally invasive technique used to obtain tissue samples for the diagnosis of tumors, especially in patients where primary surgery is not indicated. The aim of this study was to assess the adequacy, accuracy and safety of the tru-cut biopsy for diagnosis in gynecological cancer.Methods: A retrospective population-based review of 328 biopsies was conducted. The indica

In pre-clinical imaging, tumor response to radionuclide therapy can be monitored with PET imaging. Radionuclides used for therapy such as 177Lu emit a significant amount of low energy photons. These photons may have an energy high enough to penetrate the imaged object and are the prone to be detected. Although these phtons are likely to be rejected electronically, they add dead-time to the system

A newly developed pulsed cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) system for measuring atmospheric gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) concentrations at high temporal resolution (25 Hz) was used to successfully conduct the first eddy covariance (EC) flux measurements of GEM. GEM is the main gaseous atmospheric form, and quantification of bidirectional exchange between the Earth’s surface and the atmospher

Oceanic islands have isolated biota, which typically include many endemic species. However, island endemics are vulnerable due to small population sizes, and they are often threatened by habitat destruction or by introduced pests and predators. Adequate conservation planning requires good information on genetic variability and population structure, also when seemingly viable species are considered

Research concerning endangered languages has evolved from research on such languages, to research for their speaker communities, and more recently to research with speakers of endangered languages (Grinevald & Bert 2011:62). Such collaborations between communities and linguists are by now considered best practice and an idealized goal (Leonard & Haynes 2010) to foster more equitable relati

Aims: A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and mortality, independently of ulcer etiology (ischemic, neuro-ischemic or neuropathic). Ankle–brachial index (ABI) is the most commonly used test when diagnosing peripheral macrovascular disease and is a well-known marker for increased cardiovascular risk. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) is considered to be

Vid brott mot barn och då barn står som vittne saknas ofta andra vittnen och annan teknisk bevisning. Här ställs inte bara krav på domstolarnas kompetens utan även den psykologiska kunskapen vid utredningar då barnets utsaga kan vara den enda bevisningen att tillgå. Det är av oerhörd vikt att alla aktörer inom rättsväsendet besitter kunskap att genomföra en korrekt bedömning i det enskilda fallet.When it comes to crime against children the child is often the only witness and other evidence are not existing. In these cases, it’s not only the courts´ legal competence that is put to the test, but also their psychological ability of how to handle a case where a child is the only one with a statement. It is important that everyone in the legal system has this knowledge so that they can make a c

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka den skatterättsliga värderingen av bostadsförmåner ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Den teoretiska diskussionen görs med avstamp i en inkonsekvent kammarrättspraxis som har uppenbarat sig de senaste åren. Enligt gällande rätt ska värderingen göras i enlighet med huvudregeln för skattepliktiga förmåner. Denna huvudregel återfinns i 61 kap. 2 § inkomstskattThe purpose of this essay is to investigate the valuation of taxable accommodation benefits in Swedish law from a perspective of legal certainty. The theoretical discussion is based on an inconsistent case law in the administrative court of appeal that has appeared in the last years. Pursuant to established law the valuation is to be done in accordance with the general rule for taxable benefits.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och analysera de argument som presenterades i frågan om kvinnlig rösträtt i Sverige under slutet på 1800-talet och fram till dess att den blev verklighet 1919. Detta görs med hjälp av en rättshistorisk metod. För att uppfylla detta syfte har argumenten i de offentliga trycken från den aktuella tiden granskats. Så har även argumenten i den kvinnliga rösträtThe purpose of this thesis is to examine and analyse the arguments presented during the process of woman suffrage in Sweden in the late 19th century up until 1919 when women received the right to vote. The thesis has been written using a legal historical perspective. To achieve the purpose, the arguments in the contemporary legislative proposals has been examined as well as the arguments presented

Fysiska och juridiska personer är i någon form av förhållande med varandra baserat på olika omständigheter. När två parter är oense om en fråga vill de givetvis lösa situationen på något sätt. Denna lösning ligger för många hos statliga domstolar där den ena parten stämmer den andra parten vid tingsrätten som första instans. I vissa tänkta utfall är förhållandet baserat på ett avtal som parterna Natural and legal persons are in some form of relationship with each other based on different circumstances. When two parties disagree about an issue, they naturally want to resolve the situation in some way. For many, this solution lies with state courts where one party sues the other party at the district court as first instance. In some scenarios, the relationship is based on a contract that t

Detecting anomalies is a promising and current research subject that can have useful applications, for example in the field of robotics. In this thesis, anomaly detection is investigated using a hybrid kinematic machine, which is a pick-and-place robot that excels at moving objects at high speed and with great reach. Three different types of anomalies have been chosen to be studied in this thesis;

Clinical trials are difficult to access and of high importance when evaluating biomedical software. Without data which is comparable to the intended input data of the final product it is nearly impossible to fully evaluate its function. One way to evaluate ultrasound detection software is the use of phantoms. Another is the creation of synthetic data. In this report one method of creating syntheti

Varje år köps ca 13,5 kg textil per person i Sverige varav 7,6 kg går till energiåtervinning via restavfallet. Att tillverka textilier kräver mycket resurser och bidrar till stora utsläpp. För att kunna ta tillvara på dessa kasserade textilier krävs insamlingssystem som bibehåller textilens kvalité, så att de kan återanvändas eller återvinnas istället för att förbrännas. Denna studie syftar till aAbout 13.5 kg of textile per person are consumed in Sweden each year, of which 7.6 kg goes to energy recovery through the residual waste. Manufacturing textiles requires a lot of resources and contributes to large emissions. In order to make use of the discarded textiles, collection systems are required that maintain the quality of the textile. This allows them to be reused or recycled instead of
