Predictive archaeological modelling is a complex analytical process that requires the understanding of how complex environmental and anthropogenic spatial phenomena relate to the selection of archaeological site location and knowledge of the requirements and potential biases inherent in the method of modelling and the raw data itself. This paper aims to demonstrate the utility of the weights of ev
How can the low representation of women in politics in Bosnia-Herzegovina be understood and what can a different approach add to already existing approaches to make Bosnia-Herzegovina more gender equal in terms of political representation of the genders? There has been established a Gender Equality Law that demands a 40% gender quota of political representation, but the gender representation has o
Äganderätt är den mest långtgående civilrättsliga förfoganderätten till egendom som kan innehas. Före den 1 maj 2009 har det inte varit möjligt i Sverige att inneha enskild lägenhet med direkt äganderätt trots att detta utgör den vanligaste ägarformen för lägenheter i flertalet EU-medlemsstater. Motståndet mot ägarlägenhetsinstitutet har såväl varit juridiskt som bostadspolitiskt till sin karaktärOwnership to property is the most extensive legal right of disposal that can be possessed. Before the 1 of May 2009 it was not possible in Sweden to hold a direct ownership of a flat despite freehold flats (SW. “ägarlägenhet”) being the most common legal form of ownership to a flat in other EU-member states. The resistance towards this institute has been based on legal as well as political argumen
Climate change is an issue affecting societies worldwide. As temperatures, precipitation patterns, and sea levels change, our buildings and properties are in danger. Therefore, it is crucial for real estate companies to adapt their properties to the effects of climate change as they will be impacted. To help companies make environmentally sustainable economic activities, the European Union has imp
This is a master’s thesis about green public procurement (GPP) in the construction sector, based on a legal dogmathic study and a case study. The legal dogmathic part focused on both EU-legislation and on Swedish legislation. The case study was performed on the municipal of Lund to understand how a small authority works with GPP. The study of EU-legislation shows that the possibility to request b
The purpose of this study is to investigate how women with an ADHD diagnosis, who were diagnosed in the ages between 12-17, see their own experiences and identities in relation to role expectations of females. The ambition is to bring light to the stories of women, who have been in the shadow of the stereotypical ADHD man in society as well as in studies. The method chosen for empirical material i
Helicobacter pylori is an important pathogen inhabiting the human stomach. H. pylori binds plasminogen, a 90 kDa glycoprotein secreted by liver cells, and utilizes it for enhancing virulence. Surface receptors on the bacteria recognize plasminogen that is then activated into plasmin by host factors. The active plasmin can degrade a range of host proteins including proteins of the extracellular mat
Uniquely amongst vitamin K-dependent coagulation proteins, protein C interacts via its Gla domain both with a receptor, the endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR), and with phospholipids. We have studied naturally occurring and recombinant protein C Gla domain variants for soluble (s)EPCR binding, cell surface activation to activated protein C (APC) by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex, and
Background and aims: Several studies report a high prevalence of memory complaints in the elderly, non-demented population. Since the pathogenesis and diversity of memory impairment in healthy people is still an unresolved issue, we designed our study to ascertain the occurrence of brain abnormalities in Age-Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI) by measuring regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). Meth
In this study, we examined the onset and duration of local analgesic effects of bupivacaine incorporated into biodegradable microcapsules (extended-duration local anesthetic; EDLA) administered as subcutaneous infiltrations in different doses in humans. In 18 volunteers, the skin on the medial calf was infiltrated with 10 mL of EDLA, and the opposite calf was infiltrated with 10 mL of aqueous bupi
Serum samples from patients referred for liver biopsy for investigation of suspected chronic liver disease (n = 286) and from healthy middle-aged volunteers (n = 445) were analyzed for markers of exposure to GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV), hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus. GBV-C/HGV analyses included GBV-C/HGV PCR for detection of viremia and GBV-C/HGV enzyme-linked immunosorbent
Objective To evaluate the outcome of screening for structural malformations in twins and the outcome of screening for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) among monochorionic twins through a number of ultrasound scans from 12 weeks' gestation. Methods Enrolled into this prospective multicenter observational study were women with twin pregnancies diagnosed before 14 + 6 gestational weeks. The mono
This non-randomized prospective controlled study evaluates a daily school-based exercise intervention program of 40 min/school day for I year in a population-based cohort of 81 boys aged 7-9 years. Controls were 57 age-matched boys assigned to the general school curriculum of 60min/ week. Bone mineral content BMC; g) and areal bone mineral density (aBMD; g/cm(2)) were measured with dual X-ray abso
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) including obstructive and central sleep apnoea/ hypopnoea as well as periodic breathing (PB) is common and is believed to increase risk for mortality in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Mandibular advancement device (MAD) has widely been recommended for treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea but the method has never been investigated for treatment of SD
