Chromosomal translocations play a crucial role in tumorigenesis, often resulting in the formation of chimeric genes or in gene deregulation through position effects. T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is associated with a large number of such rearrangements. We report the ectopic expression of the 3' portion of EST DA926692 in the bone marrow of a childhood T-ALL case showing a t(2;11)(q1

Long-term mallard capture-recapture data from Sweden and Finland were analyzed to describe temporal mortality patterns and reasons. We used program MARK and Seber models to estimate annual survival (S) and recovery (r) rates. Survival rates were used in a Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the correspondence between observed and predicted annual population sizes of a Finnish sub-population. About

Background: Older patients generally have only poor knowledge about their medicines. Knowledge is important for good adherence and for participating in decisions about treatment. Patients are entitled to be informed on an individual and adequate level. The aim of the study was to explore frail elderly patients' experiences of receiving information about their medications and their views on how the

Även om en av de tre pelarna i hållbarhetstriaden bredvid den ekonomiska och miljömässiga är social hållbarhet (SS) den minst studerade och undersökta. Eftersom dess definition, mätning och drift är föremål för olika tolkningar, tenderar social hållbarhet att undervisa och ibland förbises. Denna förklarande fallstudie undersöker de sociala hållbarhetsaspekterna i det lilla samhället i Greenhouse pAlthough one of the three pillars of the sustainability triad beside the economic and environmental, Social Sustainability (SS) is the least studied and researched. Since its definition, measurement and operation are subject to different interpretations, SS tends to be undertheorized and sometimes overlooked. This explorative case study investigates the SS aspects of the small community of the Gre

Digital healthcare has proven to be increasingly important as the pressure on primary healthcare is enhanced, with a growing elderly population that lives longer. The importance of an effective digital healthcare with high quality is consequently increasing. By creating a reliable model, using machine learning algorithms, that can predict the next action for a caregiver in digital healthcare, not

Hur kan organogen jordbruksmark återvätas för att minska växthusgasutsläppen? Våtmarker och sjöar dikades under 1800-talet ut och omvandlades till jordbruksmark för att kunna mätta en snabbt växande befolkning i Sverige. Men växthusgasutsläppen från dessa dikade jordar bidrar idag till ett stort problem som hotar både liv och försörjning: klimatförändringen. I Lunds kommun kan dikad jordbruksmarkDrained organic soils are a big source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many of these soils have, historically, been drained to increase the share of agricultural land. In Sweden, they emit around 3.4 million tonnes CO2 and 0.9 million tonnes CO2eq of N2O per year. This thesis was written on request of City of Lund, to gain a better understanding of the contribution of cultivated organic soils t

Wireless communication nowadays is playing a vital role in real-life data transmission. This communication can be machine-to-machine or human to machine communication. In each of these categories, reliability and low latency data transmission are critical factors of success transmission in case the number of devices in a certain area increases. In this thesis, I mainly investigate on smart manufac

Adipic acid is considered as the most valuable dicarboxylic acid with industrial use; however, its production is heavily petroleum-based. This non-natural metabolite can be produced de novo through different metabolic pathways, one of which is the alpha-ketoacid elongation pathway. This investigation revolved around the study of the enzyme that catalyses the first +1C elongation reaction of the pa

The rights of the children : a formality or a reality? Incorporating the Convention on the Rights of the Child into Swedish law This essay investigates the arguments for incorporating the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child into Swedish law through a discourse analysis. The empirical data for the analysis consists of the Swedish Government Official Report (SOU 2016:19) on the su

Credit scoring, the process of evaluating loan applicants with the help of numerical methods, is widely used in the financial sector. When used correctly, it can aid the decision process and lower default rates on loans. New EU regulation has allowed third-party actors to access personal banking information, following the applicant's consent. The increase in available information that financia

This thesis analyses the spatio-temporal patterns of inequality and income growth in Sweden during the time-period 1990–2016. It aims at answering the question of whether there has been increasing inequalities, if so where and why. The study is motivated by the ongoing debate on regional development in research, public policy and media which frequently raise questions on the ongoing patterns of in

The aim of realistic graphics is the creation of images that provide the same visual responses that a viewer would experience in a real world scene. There are different rendering techniques that produce high dynamic range images that capture the full intensity range of a scene. These images cannot be reproduced on a standard display due to limitations in device hardware. Therefore, a high dynamic

A theoretical study is presented, in which the nonlinear response of a bi-ased Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) is calculated. The calculations are based on the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism. Assuming a periodic electromagnetic field in the calculations, this formalism provides not only the stationary behavior Green’s functions, but also the part of the response that varies in time according

Mögel som växer inomhus har påvisats orsaka ohälsa som andningsbesvär, allergi och eksem. Eftersom vi tillbringar större delen av våra liv i inomhusmiljöer är det viktigt att hitta lösningar på detta problem. Eftersom det finns mögelsporer i luften och går det inte att undvika att få in dem i våra byggnader. Det som går att göra är att förhindra sporerna från att gro. Syftet med detta projekt har Mould growing indoors has been shown to cause health problems such as respiratory disorders, allergies and eczema. Since we spend most of our lives in indoor environments, it is important to find solutions to this problem. As mould spores are present in the air one cannot avoid getting them into buildings, but it is possible to prevent the spores from germinating. The purpose of this project was t

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a technique for modifying internal gas atmosphere of the food package to slow deteriorative reactions inside the package and prolong shelf life of the product. However, due to current limitations of this passive technology, there might be some opportunities for introduction of active MAP through microorganisms. Therefore, the study is conducted on investigati

The amount of electronic information is growing continuously in the corporate world and companies need to make sure to have a good solution for it to make effective use of time and document handling. A good task management is also an important part of a company’s structure to not create unnecessarily work. With this master thesis we have found a solution where a Workflow-software is implemented to

The aim of this study was to examine how staff, working in LSS-group homes, through ways of talking, attitudes and approaches construct, form and shape the sexuality among people with learning disabilities. LSS is “the Swedish act concerning support and service for persons with certain functional impairments” (Lag (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade) and implies, inter alia
