Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Vår jordskorpa är uppbyggd av ett antal kontinentplattor som under hela jordens existens rört sig relativt varandra. Således har en och samma kontinentplatta vid upprepade tillfällen kolliderat med andra plattor under uppbyggnad av mäktiga bergskedjor - vid andra tillfällen har de splittrats upp i mindre kontinenter. Bergarter nära plattkanterna kommer vid dessaThe Protogine Zone is the easternmost major deformation zone in the southern part of the Sveconorwegian Province. Over the past 20 years discussions have concerned its tectonic significance, e.g. whether this zone is extensional or compressional. Several generations of mafic intrusives are situated along the Protogine Zone. The metamorphic and deformational history of these intrusions provides a k

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Jag har studerat ungefär 450 miljoner år gammalt material från Cincinnati-området i USA. Materialet består av stenplattor av olika storlek, med fossila rester av olika havslevande organismer. Under tidsperioden Ordovicium låg den amerikanska kontinenten vid ekvatorn och dess inre täcktes av ett hav. Just i området kring Cincinnati avlagrades i detta epikontinentThe study aims to reconstruct the palaeoenvironments and faunas from six different localities in the area of Cincinnati, USA. The Upper Ordovician consists of limestones with intercalating mudstones. The faunas are rich and very diverse. The taxonomic composition and taphonomic indications are briefly described. The palaeoenvironment and faunal communities are reconstructed and compared to Bretsky

The role and activities of the European Court of Justice (EJC) have been discussed for couple of decades now. Without any doubt the role that ECJ fulfils today in the European Community is not what it was in the beginning of its existence and perhaps not even what was strictly prescribed by the EC Treaty. In the present thesis will be firstly examined, how the present role of the ECJ, as a quasi-c

Föreliggande uppsats syftar till att, ur ett svensk perspektiv, belysa vad pantsättning av varumärken egentligen innebär. Möjligheterna till pantsättning av varumärken, och vad det innebär för en kreditgivare att ha pant i ett varumärke eller varumärkesansökan kommer att utredas. Inledningsvis behandlas den allmänna funktionen och syftet bakom panträtten. Härvid visas att panträttens viktigaste fu

Life oil earth was formed during billions of years, exposed to, and shaped by the original physical forces such as gravitation, cosmic irradiation, atmospheric electric fields and the terrestrial magnetism. The Schumann resonances at 7.4 Hz are all example of oscillations possibly important for life.(1)) The existing organisms are created to function in harmony with these forces. However, in the l

Popular Abstract in Swedish Patienter med diabetes kan inte kontrollera blodsockernivåerna på grund av att de saknar insulinproducerande celler eller har icke fungerande insulinproducerande celler. Det finns olika typer av diabetes där typ 1 diabetes och typ 2 diabetes är de vanligaste formerna. Den mest framgångsrika behandling mot typ 1 diabetes är transplantation av insulinproducerande celler, Diabetes - the imbalance in glucose homeostasis is partially caused by loss or dysfunction of pancreatic insulin producing β cells or development of insulin resistance. In Type 1 diabetes β cells are destroyed in the process of an autoimmune attack, whereas in Type 2 diabetes, islets produce insufficient amounts of insulin or the insulin cannot be used adequately. So far, the most promising therap

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity, attention problems, and difficulties with social interactions. Pharmacological treatment may alleviate the symptoms of ADHD but this rarely solves difficulties with social interactions. Children with ADHD may benefit from interventions designed to improve their social skills.We

Background and purpose: Since patients with primary brain tumor are expected to become long-term survivors, the prevention of long-term treatment-induced side effects is particularly important. This study aimed to explore whether symptom experience and symptom distress change over five years in adults with primary brain tumors treated with proton therapy. An additional aim was to explore whether s

Background: The T-peak-to-T-end ($\mathrm{T}_{pe}$) interval has shown potential in predicting ventricular arrhythmic risk. It is an appealing index to be measured during ischemia since it is less influenced by ST-segment changes than the early part of the T wave. A time-warping-based index, derived from a spat

Background: Work and other everyday activities are beneficial for well-being among people with mental illness, but poor circumstances can create detrimental effects, possibly aggravated by additional vulnerabilities linked with their mental illness. This study aimed to investigate how activity factors were related to well-being and functioning among three vulnerable groups using outpatient mental

Background: Middle Eastern immigrants represent a growing population in Sweden today. This group are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes than the native population, but are also shown to exhibit unique properties; despite an abundance in traditional cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, dearranged blood lipids and diminished physical acitivity, this group seem to exhibit lower blood pressur

Objectives ‒ Chronic pain is a major global public-health issue. In Sweden, 20% adults report moderate to severe chronic pain, with 7% continuously seeking healthcare. Shortcomings in treatment, accessibility, and knowledge in healthcare for chronic pain have previously been reported. A generic treatment structure from primary to specialized care and rehabilitation was missing. This study aims to

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Iron deficiency anaemia is common in patients recovering from major surgery and is associated with poorer post-operative outcomes. We designed a randomized controlled trial treating post-operative anaemia with iron therapy to observe the influence on post-operative recovery.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Anaemic patients (haemoglobin [Hb] < 120 g/L for women, Hb < 130 g/L for me

This paper investigates the magnitude and drivers of ethnic and religious disparities in Female Labor Force Participation (FLFP) in Syria. Using census data and the Gelbach decomposition method, the analysis reveals substantial FLFP gaps across groups, reaching up to 18 percentage points. To understand the factors underlying these gaps, the analysis exploits the heterogeneity in economic developme

Heart failure (HF) affects 64 million people worldwide. Despite advancements in prevention and therapy, quality of life remains poor for many HF patients due to associated target organ damage. Pulmonary manifestations of HF are well-established. However, difficulties in the treatment of HF patients with chronic lung phenotypes remain as the underlying patho-mechanistic links are still incompletely

Children born before 24 gestational weeks had high neonatal morbidity and a majority had one or more neurodevelopmental disorders in addition to somatic diagnoses in childhood. Active Swedish perinatal care of infants with gestational age <24 weeks has resulted in a survival rate of more than 50 percent. Resuscitation of these immature infants is controversial, and some countries offer comfort car

Background: Free oxygen radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a naturally occurring enzyme which provides a defense against such oxidant injury. Providing supplementary SOD has been tested in clinical trials to prevent BPD in preterm infants. Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of SOD in

Background: People with Parkinson’s disease has significant and increasing physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs, as well as problems with coordination and continuity of care. Despite the benefits that palliative care could offer, there is no consensus on how it should be delivered. Aim: The aim of this study is to provide a pragmatic overview of the evidence to make clinical recommendations

Det varumärkesrättsliga skyddsomfånget har påverkats av den globalisering och internationalisering som marknaden har genomgått under den senare delen av 1900-talet och början av 2000-talet. En tydlig tendens är anpassningen av skyddsomfånget efter varumärkens ekonomiska värde. Uppsatsen besvarar frågan vilket skydd väl ansedda varumärken åtnjuter enligt svensk varumärkesrätt och hur detta skydd är
